First, hi! We're off this week due to a little bit of real-life-happening; Another One Of Your Hosts is off to step through windows to another world, and we have to take a quick pause - we'll be back with ASOIAF & our final His Dark Materials The Amber Spyglass episode very soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this pre-recorded (December 2019! The Before Times!) episode on Lantern Slides in His Dark Materials. What exactly are Lantern Slides?
At the end of each of the books, particularly in the Omnibus version/later versions, Pullman has included vignettes and snippets of his worlds. In this episode, the girls stop to discuss these, and Chloe dives deeper in some of the implications with the Dustiest-scussion.
SPOILERS - the main trilogy of His Dark Materials.
DUSTCUSSION: outer trilogy of His Dark Materials, dust-cussed closer to the end.

Originally released for Girls Gone Canon Patrons April, 2020 ~ become a GGC Patron @ patreon.com/girlsgonecanon where patrons in the Stranger tier & above receive monthly bonus episodes ~
Spoilers: MAIN TRILOGY, Novellas, and hints/foreshadowing toward things we may see in a future book of dust.
We sit down to discuss the novella Once Upon a Time in the North, which focuses on Lee Scoresby - and Iorek Byrnison! (And NOT Victoria Lund, bye). Join in and listen to some musings, as we speculate on what Poliakov was really mining for, a "severing", and even some fragrant oils.
