Sassenach Sisters

By Tanya & Victoria

My sister and I are hooked on the show! We are true Outlander obsessenachs! I live in the Pittsburgh area and she lives in Omaha. This has been a great way for us to bond and has been fun to share Outlander with someone close & have them understand! So to really learn about Outlander and take it to the next level we are going to read all the books! We will be discussing, analyzing, and learning the world of Outlander. They can never fit EVERYTHING into the show so I am sure we will learn a lot and get to know these characters much better. Get ready to travel through the stones with us!

Droughtlander Mini Episode 2

Droughtlander Mini Episode 2

We sadly find ourselves in Droughtlander again and what do we do when we run out of things to watch? Last season felt pretty short and while they are filming... all we can do is wait!

It has been fun to rewatch past seasons and I feel every time I watch it I notice something different. I love this show and it is a nice refresh before the next season comes out.

Ep:2.1 recap Droughtlander is hard

I have not watched outlander in a long time nor read the books. So it was fun to watch this episode today and kind of do a little bit of commentary on it and thoughts after being in Droutlander for so long.

 Reviewed by Tanya in Pittsburgh and her husband Jon who is quickly becoming an outlander fan. Listen as we walk you through the initial season of Men in Kilts with Sam and Graham. This was such a fun show to watch. 

After this podcast Jon went and rewatched Season 1 of Outlander. Quite proud!

Part two picks up where the first book left off with the Claire and Jamie love story, but this time with a twist! They are trying to change the future to save Scotland. Did anybody else feel the love between those two a lot more in the book than season 2 of the show? The Sassenach Sisters discuss this and so much more as we dive into part two of Dragonfly in Amber.
