It Fearfully Fails to Cease

Dear Listener,

We hope you have not downloaded this podcast looking for a pleasant way to pass the time. If you have no knowledge of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, and their unfortunate luck, we would advise you to keep it that way./If you don’t have the will to listen as two friends discuss all the terrible events that befell the Baudelaire children, turn back now. If you can’t stomach the thought of eye tattoos, a dastardly man named Count Olaf, and occasional wordplay, it is best you click elsewhere.

We are committed to re-reading the series and piecing together the entire history of the Baudelaire children, but you don’t have to be. 

With all due respect,
Clare Roth and Grace Minix
