The Antidote by Karen Russell
Episode 3
Saturday, 29 November, 2025

Kathleen and James step into a reimagining of the 1930s Dust Bowl in Karen Russell's genre-bending novel The Antidote. The hosts discuss the book's magical realism, its incredible use of language, and its argument for how history can be more deeply connected than one might expect.
