Surprise! We took an unplanned and unannounced long hiatus from the podcast because [waves hands vaguely at 2020]. Charis and Sharon are now back in the saddle and ready to tackle the rest of HAVE HIS CARCASE. But before we do that, we have a couple special episodes featuring two short stories from the Sayers canon. In this episode, we discuss the story “The Piscatorial Farce of the Stolen Stomach,” which sees Lord Peter back in Scotland for a gutsy adventure.
Content note: In this episode, we discuss anti-Semitic views and writings contemporary to Sayers’ time.

Shownotes:
- “The Piscatorial Farce of the Stolen Stomach” comes from the collection LORD PETER VIEWS THE BODY, which was published in 1928.
- In our discussion of G.K. Chesterton’s anti-Semitic views, we mention his 1909 novel THE BALL AND THE CROSS.
- We bring up Diana Wynne Jones’ excellent fantasy classic HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE as well as the 2004 Miyazaki film adaptation of the book. (Both are excellent and come highly recommended by us!)
