Welcome to Tracing Lyra, the definitive podcast for every reader ready to journey deeper into Philip Pullman’s magnificent universe. We’re doing what no one else is: reading the complete Lyra Silvertongue story—from her infancy at Godstow Priory to her courageous adulthood—in true chronological order across The Book of Dust and His Dark Materials. We treat these novels as sacred texts, pouring over every chapter like a precious scroll. Join us as we read just one chapter per episode, filtering our discussion through a focused theme to uncover new revelations about the connections between our own world and Lyra’s. We’ll explore the depths of human connection, political regimes, and the nature of free will in the Anthropocene. Grab your favorite tea or go for a long walk and join your new friends, Asiya and Des, for a thoughtful conversation about the world you love. The compass is set. Let’s read between the lines.
