Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Onyx Storm Theories: The One Where We Blame Rebecca, Again 1:21:20

7 weeks тому1:21:20

1:21:20

Join us for the next episode of High Tales with the Lit Sisters , where Marisa and Nicole dive headfirst into Rebecca Yarros’ chaos web of dragon eggs, memory-wipes, and emotionally unstable men. With zero facts but 100% conviction, they accidentally rewrite the entire Empyrean series, and it's pretty good. Theories range from “plausible” to “Rebecca would sue us if she heard this.” Expect live sound effects, shared delusions, and enough Scorpio energy to shatter a wardstone. No answers, just vibes—and it’s about to get wild.…

Onyx Storm: Part 5 - The One Where Violet Connects the Dots… Eventually 2:11:40

8 weeks тому2:11:40

2:11:40

Join us for the next episode of High Tales with the Lit Sisters , where Marisa and Nicole wade into the emotional wreckage of the Onyx Storm finale. Violet is either passed out, crying, being bathed like a Victorian invalid, or slowly connecting clues with the speed of a drunk conspiracy theorist. Mira’s bleeding (again), Brennan’s buckling under his martyr complex, and Bodhi’s one dramatic monologue away from quitting the rebellion. There’s a war, a prophecy, and dragons—but somehow, still no actual plan. Between magical breakdowns and tragic bonding moments, the sisters still find time to question whether organic deodorant is a scam, if pink-pilling a carpool counts as activism, and whether your kid’s post-practice stench is just character development. So, light a candle, grab your annotated hardcover, and emotionally prepare to black out over a morally gray man—because it’s finale time, babe.…

Onyx Storm: Part 4 - The One with the Elitist Dragons Who Are Judgy AF 2:20:48

9 weeks тому2:20:48

2:20:48

Join us for the next episode of High Tales with the Lit Sisters , where Marisa and Nicole spiral into dragon elitism, dream invasions, awkward lingerie deliveries, and exactly how many lightning bolts it takes to say “I love you.” The Lit Sisters cannot agree on which isle they’d survive (Nicole chooses the creepy carnival, Marisa hides in a library), what “worshipping” really means, or how many weapons is too many for bedroom decor. Bonus: Nicole builds a bunker, Marisa tries to unionize the dragons, and Adarna does the most dramatic Irish goodbye. Someone call HR—these dragons are out of control.…

1:53:08

Join us for the next episode of High Tales with the Lit Sisters , where your favorite book-loving duo, Marisa and Nicole, leave the cabin but bring the chaos. This week’s mission: diplomatic drama and dragon-sized dysfunction across the isles. There’s a full-blown international meltdown, Xaden fights for his life, Violet’s compass is as lost as she is, and Dain gets slapped straight into character development. You’ll laugh, you’ll scream, you might cry over Trager (if you remember who he is), and Riddick still holds this whole damn story together. Pack light—unless you’re Violet. Then bring five bags and commit treason. Again.…

12 weeks тому1:59:40

1:59:40

Join the Lit Sisters, Marisa and Nicole, as they debate whether Xaden’s intense love language is swoon-worthy or just plain extra. He is giving “I’m a tortured soul with a tragic past” energy, and honestly, it's exhausting in the best way. Violet’s dodging venin and trying not to die while Xaden’s busy making grand romantic declarations and picking fights with Princes. Meanwhile, Riddick’s comedic timing is on point, and Mira’s out here proving she's the true queen of no-nonsense. Buckle up — this episode’s got drama, magic, and a surprising amount of orange-related violence. Ch 15-27…

1:58:28

The Lit Sisters are back, and this time they’re tackling the first 14 chapters of Onyx Storm . Xaden’s teaching now (hello, Professor Hot Pants), Violet’s casually committing treason before breakfast, and there’s a dramatic villain monologue — because exposition is important. Oh, and let’s not forget the knee injury so gnarly even Brennan was like, "Ew." Spoiler alert: It’s a hot mess — but the fun kind. Plus, Riddick’s carrying this book on his sarcastic back, and honestly? We're here for it. Tune in for chaos, laughs, and a side of treason! Ch 1-14…

14 weeks тому1:36:30

1:36:30

Join the Lit Sisters, Marisa and Nicole, as we spiral into full-blown emotional distress over the ending of Iron Flame ! We tried to stay on topic, but somehow ended up debating trademark law (can we get sued for this?), the meaning of trust (Xaden, explain yourself), and whether dragon-powered therapy is covered by insurance. The wards may be up, but our sanity is gone —thanks to battles, betrayals, and that ending. Tune in, scream with us, and brace yourself for Onyx Storm ! Ch. 58-End…

15 weeks тому1:25:25

1:25:25

Your favorite Lit Sisters, Marisa and Nicole, are back to unpack Iron Flame's mind-blowing reveals, epic fights, and just the right amount of sarcasm. We’ve got surprise second signets, dragons with grudges, and a rival-to-bestie pipeline that no one saw coming. Also, can we talk about how Andarna is consistently trying to prove she’s not a baby anymore. Buckle up— in Andarna's Baby Bjorn, it’s a messy, magical, and mildly concerning time. Join us as we yell into the void, roast fictional characters, and pretend we’d survive in this world for more than five minutes. Ch 45 - 57…

17 weeks тому1:34:30

1:34:30

Ah, the sweet scent of betrayal, backhanded compliments, and whatever the hell that interrogation room smelled like. This week, the Lit Sisters dive into the latest chaos—Dain still doesn’t get the hint, Xaden is totally not jealous (except he absolutely is), and Violet has approximately 0.2 seconds of peace before danger inevitably finds her. Meanwhile, the squad finally learns the truth, a jacket nearly ends Violet’s entire career, and they attempt a heist that proves subtlety is… not their thing. Grab your emotional support lemonade and buckle up—it’s a wild one! Ch. 21 - 34…

18 weeks тому2:00:35

2:00:35

Join the Lit Sisters as Marisa and Nicole dive into the first part of Iron Flame , where Violet juggles assassination attempts, forced survival training, and the world’s pettiest situationship. We debate whether omissions are lies (they are), Tairn establishes himself as the ultimate dragon dad, and Xaden gets shirtless in a fight—so really, everyone wins. Plus, Violet may be too good at poisoning people. It’s non-stop action, drama, and debates over Xaden’s red flag-to-hotness ratio. Buckle up, because this episode is as wild as Basgiath itself. #TeamTairn Ch 1 - 20…

19 weeks тому1:36:56

1:36:56

Tune in as the Lit Sisters spiral through the explosive Fourth Wing finale—because wow , did we not see that coming. Nicole is fuming over all the avoidable drama, Marisa is dramatically staring out of windows like she’s in a music video, and both are questioning their life choices (and Rebecca Yarros’). The dragons remain the only ones making good decisions, while the humans are out here breaking trust, furniture, and possibly the laws of physics. Betrayals are dropped, lightning is thrown, and Dain continues his reign as King of the Buzzkills. Don’t miss this episode—unless you, too, need time to process the shocking events (pun absolutely intended). Ch. 27-End…

1:49:16

What do you get when you mix one grumpy dragon, a ridiculous amount of attempted murder, and a lust-induced existential crisis? Apparently, just another week at Basgiath War College. In this episode, Nicole and Marisa break down Violet’s latest adventures, including navigating Dain’s emotional baggage, Xaden’s very inconvenient hotness, and the fact that she keeps surviving assassination attempts like it’s a hobby. Also, best written kiss of all time? We have thoughts. Ch 16-26…

2:11:32

Welcome to Basgiath College, where the curriculum includes walking the Parapet of Death, climbing the Gauntlet of Nope, and bonding with dragons who judge you harder than your ex’s mom. Violet’s small but mighty energy is thriving, despite Dain’s overprotective smothering and Xaden’s bad boy "I might kill you" smirks that scream “HR complaint.” Meanwhile, half the class is dead by lunch, Jack Barlow is a walking red flag, and Violet’s secret weapon? Poison. Lots of poison. Buckle up—it’s chaos out here. Ch. 1-15…
