Fictional

Hosted ByJason Weiser & Carissa Weiser / Bardic

Classic lit with a modern tone, every other week.

From the creators of Myths and Legends, comes an altogether same-but-different podcast set in the world of classic lit. These are the stories of Dracula, The Time Machine, The Three Musketeers. They're stories written by Jane Austen, Shakespeare, and H.P. Lovecraft, but with a casual, modern tone. Listen as Jason and Carissa Weiser breathe new life into the classics and tell the stories of some of the greatest books ever written.

Dante’s Inferno: Burning Ring of Fire (Part 1)

Dante’s Inferno is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri in the 1300s as the first part in a much longer work called “The Divine Comedy”. It’s not a comedy in the “ha ha” sense of the word, but comedy because it starts bad and ends well. Dante travels down through Hell, then up into Purgatory and finally Paradise. Hell, in my opinion, is the most interesting area because it’s full of weird characters and crazy punishments. This episode is probably too fun for one that has two characters touring a place of eternal torment.

Oh, and here are pictures of the Fisherman! https://twitter.com/fictionalpod/status/904907942264262656
