In this episode, join Stephanie along with her guest, Stephanie Rekowicz, discuss the BBC TV series Merlin (2008-2012). Listen to them get nostalgic about their love for the show as well as answer the question if Merlin can be considered a period piece?
Merlin takes a different approach to the Merlin/King Arthur legend by making the famous sorcerer a young man who must keep his magic a secret as it's forbidden in Camelot. You can stream Merlin on Peacock and Amazon Prime Video.
As always be ready for spoilers and thank you for being patient with any Zoom glitches!
