Show Notes
In the first of our series on children's stories, we dive into the modern masterpiece Northern Lights, by Philip Pullman, and its less regarded 2000s film adaption, The Golden Compass. Religious authoritarianism, moral absolutism, gender hierarchies and talking polar bears are all up for discussion in this episode, as Grace and Niamh ask the question; is this really for kids?
