Episode 9: Wonderfully Wicked

Follow the yellow brick road—but bring snacks, sass, and a broomstick—as we stir the cauldron of Wicked and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This episode peels back the glittery curtain to reveal the morally gray land beneath. We unpack how Gregory Maguire turned a green-skinned villain into a misunderstood icon with better eyeliner than most heroes. Flying monkeys, political shade, and revolutionary antics that would make Glinda clutch her pearls. Whether you're here for literary analysis or just want to hear us roast a scarecrow, this one's got brains, heart, and a whole lot of nerve.
