ANGELS!!! We are so happy to be here with you over the holiday season and hope you'll enjoy The Phantom of the Opera with us. Although Fifer prefers this translation. We borrowed from both the translations throughout - most of the readings are from the Penguin edition.

EXTRA special thanks to our reader Jaime Andrews!

This is the Greg Hildebrandt Phantom of the Opera that we referenced!

Next up: More PHANTOM!

Fiery Head? Check Skull Mask? Check Literally has the word Ghost in his name? Check All that's left is for Erik to look a bit like Nicholas Cage and you've got all the evidence you need that this story is set in the MCU! Lets Ride!

I expect that "The Persian" was so named as he was sensitive about his baldness and had a bad toupée, i.e. was wearing a rug.

Jon Hancock

Sorry, obviously that's not true. Anyway, great to hear another fine episode from Chad and The Yank.

Sanjay Mathew

Nooooo Ooooonnnneeee Writes like Gaston Monstrous spite like Gaston When the Opera has a bad night like Gaston "I'm especially good at the fin de siècle!" Ten points for Gaston!

Such prosaic nicknames might be a French thing. I was called "l'anglais" at school and college in France. I called all my friends "le français/ la française" and that put a stop to it, for a bit.

Sanjay Mathew

So Christine's father was Swedish eh? Sounds ripe for a production of Fiddler ön the Røof.

The Call of Cassandra

I have not listened to the Podcraft episode yet, but have been reading the novel for the last week. One thing I found interesting is that there were several references to the Commune using the opera house to imprison people. These refer to the 1871 revolution that happened at the end of the Franco-Prussian war. Which took place about 15 to 20 years before this story is set. That is also the backdrop of Guy Endor's - The Werewolf of Paris. So the Werewolf may have known the Phantom! Now I am listening, and you guys mentioned it. Doh! Oh, and I really liked Jaime's reading for this!

MORE PHANTOM!!! You guys had me crying with laughter at work, my coworkers thought I’d gone mad (mad with PHANTOM!!!). I think my first encounter with this tale was an old cartoon version, which got me to listen to the musical which got me to watch the silent film which led to the book. Perhaps I should have just started there.

Erick W Mertz

Thanks guys for another great show and, in this instance, helping me revisit long dormant teenage trauma. I was assailed for two years in High School by a girlfriend who would play the soundtrack constantly. I can feel the shudders coming back now.

Robert Curtin

So, with this theory that the phantom has interchangeable heads...does that mean the Phantom is Mobi?

Mark Saunders

I would love to see “Scary Erik and the Opera House” as a children’s show starring the Phantom of the Opera. Someone get on this!!!

Ben Gilbert

Growing up Lon Chaney’s Phantom was iconic but I never actually saw the film until I was over 30. The film I grew up with was the Universal version with Claude Rains.

Steven Moore

How dare you guys keep Jaime Andrews a secret for all the years! What a great voice. Great episode.

H P Lovecraft's Cat

Me since this episode was announced, Tarja Turunen angelic voice in my head ,first minutes that voice was murdered by Chris .

Forrest Rush

So is this the new Christmas story tradition? I suppose it could sit well between Home Alone and Die Hard.

Sweatin' to the Great Oldies

I sit with baited breath awaiting the moment when the Phantom goes to Africa, gets that skull ring, and clothes himself in purple. Honestly, though I followed his exploits for years as a child in the Sunday comics, I somehow missed this whole Ghost Who Walks fixation on Parisian opera. So glad there was a pile of bones scene foreshadowing the Skull Cave!

Mark Saunders

Just a note, I’m not sure if you guys know this but there is a missing chapter of the book called The Magic Envelope that was published in the serial but omitted from the published book and as such does not appear in any edition that I know of. However it is available online and it would be chapter 11 if it was in the book. Not sure if you’ll cover it but I thought I’d let you know it was out there.

Christine M

When you go by the name Christine, seeing Phantom is always strange and amusing - 2 hours of people desperately calling/singing your name. But the intro to this week's show inspires me to new levels - going to see if i can make a ringtone of Chris singing and Chad crying out, "Christine! Angel!" :D

Sellers Burgener

Maybe I'm just a hater here, but I just cannot get into musicals. There's a corniness to the Weber stuff that I think makes Manowar look like a Daniel Day Lewis movie. But I can deal with that. I have to give you infinite thanks for sticking to Weber and not taking the bait when it comes to the most gauche of all 80's bands, THE COMMUNARDS (whom I refer affectionately as "The Nards". There's only so much a man can take!

Andy O'Dowd

Michael Crawford has been mentioned a few times on these two eps. Are you guys aware of his equally emotive, moving and powerful role as Frank “Ooh Betty! The cat’s done a whoopsie in my beret.” Spencer in the sit-com “Some mother’s do ‘ave’em”?

Allison Albright

I love how Erik the Scary just demands that Christine love him. There's nothing that melts a woman's heart like having a guy order you to love him. He must have learned that from some pick up artist forum.

John Kadolph

I feel like the Phantom is the archetype that represents the Contrast between self hatred and love. The Phantom is in love with all things beautiful and yet is self deprecating because of his disfigurement. He believes he could never have the woman of his dreams just on his personality alone and therefore has gone mad with self hate but struggles with great feelings of love. I think that most people have had a time in their life when they thought that someone was out of their league and therefore sat in the shadows and only wished that they could approach the one they love. Fortunately most of them do not go to the lengths that the Phantom went to get his girl.

Peter Larsen

I think you all missed the clear implication that the Persian was notable because he was a cat. As such, he was too clever to be caught up in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s adaption of the novel, although he barely avoided appearing in Cats, being able to hide behind the corpse of T.S. Elliot until the heat died down.
