Interview with Francesca Gardiner

Her Dark Materials | A His Dark Materials Podcast

Her Dark Materials is USUALLY bi-weekly podcast hosted by Faye and Rachael discussing the His Dark Materials novels chapter by chapter, spoiler-free. BUT in this very special bonus episode we chat to Francesca Gardiner, writer and producer on the BBC/HBO TV show.

This episode does contain spoilers, so if you haven’t read the first HDM trilogy, pop back when you’re all caught up.

Join us as we ask the wonderful Francesca the vitally important question of how dare she rip our hearts out with episode 8?! We also get into the Mary and Coulter of it all from season 2, and discuss Mary's queerness.

The biggest thank you to Francesca for her time!
