It's Season Two! Susannah's obviously ecstatic, and Hazel's pretty excited too! We're kicking things off with a few long ramblings from Susannah wherein she talks about U2, her favorite Belgian girl's choir, and tells you if "hot buttered toast

107: Adam Scott, Please Send Us an Email

We're closing out Season One with a bang, however brief. In this episode, you'll get to hear us: fangirl over both Adam Scott and Barack Obama; silently imitate Trump; and argue over who looked hot in that fight scene. We look up Italian names

It's the penultimate episode of Season One and obviously, we're breaking down the bigger plot developments, like Mary and Matthew's kiss, Banna's almost happening, and Sybil's maybe-concussion. But we're also talking about less important things

105: Ship Names Framed in French Paste

Aug 14th, 2020 56m 12s

The first season is reaching its high point(according to Susannah) and perhaps our humble podcast is as well. As the number of stories to keep track of climbs, we follow, with a not-so-deep deep dive, an excuse to spend all morning watching Net

We're off with the whistle of a train and our first official episode! What we like: Anna, Sybil, Daisy(sometimes), and Cora's embroidery. What we don't: O'Brien, Thomas, and the Duke. What we can't agree on: Cora's nightgowns. In non-Downton ne

0.0: Welcome to Substitute for Wit!

We're kicking off our podcast journey with an intro, both to ourselves and Downton Abbey. Susannah gives a long but thought-out premise of the show that Hazel may or may not have been listening to, and Hazel makes some slightly underwhelming pr
