In our previous episode, I played an excerpt from Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine, in which the hosts discussed the history of the man who may have inspired the creation of Frankenstein. This week I offer, in its entirety, an episode of Eric Molinsky’s podcast, Imaginary Worlds, titled “The Year Without a Summer.” This episode, which originally aired in 2016, delves into the circumstances behind the famous writing competition between Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Polidori.
Imaginary Worlds is part of the Midroll podcasting network. You can find it online at https://www.imaginaryworldspodcast.org/home.html, and you can subscribe to it wherever podcasts are streamed.
