In Each Retelling

The podcast where we explore how old tales are made new! Whether it's the fairytales we heard as children, the classic literature we read in high school, or the most ancient of mythologies, it seems creators can't help but keep putting their own spin on old stories, and we're going to tackle every flavor we can get our nerdy hands on.

We close out IER's 2025 with a real treat! On January 6, 2026, Katie Bernet's debut novel that reimagines Little Women as an YA murder mystery, and she has graciously allowed us to not only tell you all about it, but spoke with us about her love of Alcott's novel and the process in placing the March sisters into a modern thriller. Join Jas, Ellie, Violet, Shami, and special guest Katie Bernet as we discuss a truly astounding debut that we all encourage you to preorder!

The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed therein are solely those of the speakers, and this podcast contains some swearing, and references to period typical sexism from the time of this novel's source material, violence, war, murder, toxic relationships, and predatory behavior towards minors. Additionally, here be spoilers! There is a spoiler free preview near the beginning, but after that, if you do not want to be spoiled, I recommend you get your hands on a copy of this book and come back later. You've been warned.
