Episode 90 - Archer's Goon, by Diana Wynne Jones
We’re investigating the machinations of 7 sometimes-evil wizards with Archer’s Goon, by Diana Wynne Jones! Howard Sykes and his family are thrown into a maelstrom when one of their town’s behind-the-scenes leaders, Archer, sends his titular Goon to make the family obey his demands. Madeleine and Grace break down the twists and turns of this hilarious and surprisingly contained adventure and discuss why it’s ultimately an ode to sibling relationships. We also take a deep dive into unearthed memories about middle school band, ponder the relative lack of animal characters in DWJ’s work, and tackle The Problem with Fifi. Join us!
