HILF 91 - Frankenstein with Helen Shephard [ RE-RELEASE ]

Mary Shelley began writing her novel, Frankenstein, in 1816 when she was only 17 years old. Today it remains one of the most-assigned books of all time, finding it's way into classes ranging from Law to Scientific Ethics to Fashion to Politics. As a new film by Guillermo del Toro (google.com/search?sca_esv=952d9a3ded5a8be7&…) is set to debut on Netflix, re-join Dawn for the episode that started the podcast! Guest, Helen Shephard (instagram.com/helenshephard1), is a British TV Host, model and comedian, who has no recollection of ever reading the book - and only cursory memory of the early film versions. However, as the original recording took place right around Halloween, 2021 - she was intrigued by this ubiquitous monster and wanted to know the sexy story about his real origin. ---🎟️ Get tickets to HILF Public School (flapperscomedy.com/site/comedians.php?person_i…) - the live, interactive version of HILF: First Thursdays at Flappers Comedy Club (flapperscomedy.com) - Burbank, CA---SILF's (Source's I'd Like to F*ck) • Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (gutenberg.org/files/84/84-h/84-h.htm) [ Project Gutenberg ]
