The Problem: A Lockwood and Co Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Caitlin and Alan look in a mirror to start reading The Creeping Shadow by Jonathan Stroud. We debate the nature of time, the mummification of severed heads (hey it’s an honest living!), and how infuriating the concept of demerits is. Lucy and Skull are in business for themselves, but life is hard without Lockwood and Co.

Peanuts evolved on the South American continent and were cultivated there for thousands of years before European contact.

Jonathan Stroud talked about the enmeshment of Lucy and Skull on The Writing Community Chat Show.

Matador is a noun and not a verb

Mummified heads as spiritual talismans is a diverse practice including Christian saints, Egyptian nobles, and South American warriors.

Caitlin and Alan meet the Hollow Boy and finish the third Lockwood and Co book! Light a candle, get a concussion, and worry if your crush is dead. Actually don’t worry. Come off it. You know they would die for you. Warning that at the end of the podcast, one of the hosts quits the show! (not really)

Caitlin and Alan go to the Fittes Ball and break into a library. The first half of the Big Night Out in The Whispering Skull is the discovery that Quill Kipps has been invited to this party- so it can’t be all that great! And he follows us home. But for a 50 the driver would…. crash into him??

Caitlin and Alan get locked in a dark room full of ghost rats. What could go wrong? Quill Kipps showing up is what could go wrong. It’s chapters 18 and 19 of The Whispering Skull! Grab your night lantern, or at least tell us what a night lantern is- and follow Skull’s instructions. But watch your back!
