The Authority: The City of Magpies
Welcome to The Authority, Slate\u2019s deep dive into the world(s) of HBO\u2019s His Dark Materials. Each week, Slate\u2019s scholars of experimental theology Dan Kois and Laura Miller discuss the HBO series and Philip Pullman\u2019s original trilogy. It\u2019s a new season, and Lyra and Will aren\u2019t the only people who\u2019ve traveled to entirely different worlds. We all have since the show\u2019s first season ended in 2019. Can Season 2 recapture the magic? We explore the season premiere, \u201cThe City of Magpies,\u201d and discuss the architecture of Cit\xe0gazze, the growing friendship between Lyra and Will, and the secret powers of witches.\nEmail: asktheauthority@slate.com\nPodcast production by Phil Surkis.\n\nDan Kois on Twitter: @dankois\nLaura Miller on Twitter: @magiciansbook\nLearn more about your ad choices.
