In our final Austen discussion, we turn our attention to Mansfield Park . Join us for a thoughtful conversation about Jane Austen’s classic as we explore its characters, intricate plot, and enduring social commentary. Throughout the episode, we examine Austen’s narrative and have a think if our pet cat would approve of this novel. If you appreciate “in-depth” (with Wikipedia) literary discussions with a friendly tone, this episode is for you. Content Warnings NA Support the show Recommend us a Book!

In this episode of Teaching My Cat to Read , we’re diving into the heartwarming and deeply thought provoking sci-fi novel A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. We have a chat about the book’s big themes: identity, belonging, the meaning of family, and what it means to build a life—whether you’re human, an AI, or something in between. With its dual storyline, we’ll follow Lovelace, an AI struggling to adapt to her new humanoid body, and Pepper, a mechanic with a moving backstory. Both tales intertwine to create a story bursting with hope, heart, and a touch of sci-fi magic. If you’re a fan of books that make you think, laugh, and maybe shed a tear, this is one episode you won’t want to miss. Perfect for fans of thoughtful speculative fiction and anyone looking to add more Becky Chambers brilliance to their shelves. Tune in now for a cosy chat about this award-nominated masterpie ce!

Please note: this episode contains MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS for the book if you haven’t read it yet from the start In this Mini episode, we return to the world of the Wayfarer with “The Long Way to a Small, Angry, Planet”, and ask questions we hadn’t asked before. Note, this episode features spoilers for the book. The Back of the Book: “Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space-and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe-in this light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi star. Rosemary Harper doesn’t expect much when she joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer. While the patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed, a chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and most importantly, some distance from her past. An introspective young woman who learned early to keep to herself, she’s never met anyone remotely like the ship’s diverse crew, including Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks who keep the ship running, and Ashby, their noble captain. Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It’s also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn’t part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary’s got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the universe.” Content Warnings None Support the show Recommend us a Book!

The Scottish Play - Just One More Murder, Bro, I Swear 1:04:38

1:04:38

In this week’s episode of Teaching My Cat to Read , we’re entering into the world of Macbeth —a play packed with witches, ambition, and one very messy quest for power. Whether you’re a fan of Shakespeare or just curious about all the drama, this episode is for you! We’ll chat about those three witches and their prophecies, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s wild journey from power couple to full-blown chaos executors, and why this tale still grips us in the modern day. So, grab a cuppa, cuddle up with your cat (or dog—we’re not picky), and join us as we break down this iconic play. It’s a breakdown of Shakespeare like you’ve never heard it before—fun, relatable, and maybe even a little spooky. Content Warnings Murder, child death Support the show Recommend us a Book!

Wyrd Sisters - And I Would Have Gotten Away With It Too, If It Wasn’t For Those Meddling Witches 1:14:18

1:14:18

In this episode, we go back to the Discworld to discuss the book “Wyrd Sisters”, by Terry Pratchett. The second book in the Witches series, “Wyrd Sisters” parodies and satires “Macbeth, by William Shakespeare” (which we discuss in the episode after this one). We discuss which character would be the only human in the muppets adaptation, critique on theatre, as well as discussing our favourite metaphor of the book (feat. “the fool jingled miserably across the floor”) If you’re a fan of all things Discworld, Terry Pratchett, or Cats perceiving ghosts, then this episode is for you. Book Blurb: “Three witches on a lonely heath. A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the royal crown, both missing. Witches don’t have these kinds of leadership problems themselves – in fact, they don’t have leaders. Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they don’t have. But even she finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe. Particularly when the blood on your hands just won’t wash off . . .” Content Warnings NA Support the show Recommend us a Book!
