Tim & LeeAnna dive into two of W. B. Yeats’s most emotionally raw poems – No Second Troy and He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven – to explore the wreckage of unrequited love, the fine line between worship and resentment, and why offering your dreams might not be enough when she’s already burning down cities.

The Snark on Alchemy Podcast "Love's Corner Case"
Look, there’s nothing like a Tennyson poem to make you question everything about love, life, and immortality. And you know what? That’s the fun part. If you can look at Tithonus, reflect on that grim future, and still believe in love, you’re either a masochist or incredibly optimistic. But that’s the whole point, right? Life, love, and time - none of it makes sense.

Podcast | Love Unscripted | Love’s Corner Case
Tim and LeeAnna – and Alfred, Lord Tennyson – talk about what it means when love’s beauty fades, when immortality isn’t just a dream, but a “living hell”. We’ll also hit on how some relationships can evolve into a painfully unfixable mess. So grab a tissue (you’ll need it) and tune in to the podcast that proves eternal love can really suck.

Podcast | Love Unscripted | Love’s Quiet Desperation… Prufrock’s Struggle with Desire
Welcome to the Alchemy’s podcast, where Tim and LeeAnna take on The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock - the ultimate guide to how not to face your feelings (or do much of anything, really). Along the way: dead Popes, risqué Bible passages, a prophecy about the death of podcasting, and one balding, peach-fearing romantic in freefall. Come for the poetry, stay for the existential dread - and maybe bring a drink. You’ll need it.
