The Podgoblin's Hat Episode 6: Finn Family Moomintroll (part 2)

Getting Better Acquainted

This is the sixth episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. It's also the last episode of the first series of the show. It's the end of Finn Family Moomintroll, and the end of series 1! The Hattifatteners have their barometer back, Snufkin gets around to telling the others about the Hobgoblin and his hat, and we meet Thingumy and Bob, the lesbian-inspired non binary couple of your dreams. This book has more bumps in the road for us as modern readers than those that went before. #JusticeForTheSnorkmaiden It also contains some really positive representations of what we might call non-monogamy and queerness. Truly a mixed bag. Our question for Snufkin comes from Jane Eyre, and concerns marriage and true love. Our Spirits of the Moomins this week are: The Jumbies by Tracey Baptiste and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Our Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is: On Eyre from Hot and Bothered. We'll be back after a break with Memoirs (or are they Exploits?) of Moominpappa.
