About this episode

This week Andrew completes the Brontë trilogy with Charlotte Brontë's seminal novel Jane Eyre.

Is it a romance? Is it spooky? Do we like Mr. Rochester or does he well and truly stink? We'll attempt to answer these questions and more in between revisiting #MomSwears, solving some Scooby Doo mysteries, and traveling through Internet tubes.

This week's episode is brought to you in part by Kinyo Poetry and Squarespace.
