The Sassenach Files: An Outlander Podcast

The One Where We Meet Mr. Fancy Pants

Welcome back to The Sassenach Files! This week we are talking episode 110, "By The Pricking of My Thumbs" where we meet a new character. The jury is still out on whether he is friend or foe, but there's no doubt he is definitely into JAMMF. Claire wars with her 20th century instincts, Geillis reveals her lover's identity, and Jamie gets the short end of the stick...again. Special thanks to Richard Clark for that opening scene :)

The One Where Jamie Became A Man

This week on The Sassenach Files we discuss 109 of Outlander, “The Reckoning”. This episode was full of uncomfortable situations that force Jamie to break the mold and make decisions that will ultimately shape his relationship with Claire and impact the rest of his life. We dive deep into these topics and discuss how they make “The Reckoning” an amazing episode of Outlander.
