In which our heroine is entertained by the Mock Turtle, observes a trial of Dubious Legality, is called to present evidence and Hulks Out, before Awakening to her sister musing on the Nature of Childhood, and in which our narrator insists you can skip certain parts Without Offense, and breaks the fourth wall Rather Improperly.
Once again, the illustrations (specifically, the frontispiece) are specifically mentioned in the text:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapters Eight and Nine
In which our heroine finally enters the little garden, where she sees some Card Tricks, threats of Mass Executions which are stymied by the Pre-Disembodied Head of the Cat, whereupon she re-encounters the Duchess in a more Pleasant though Didactic Temper, and then is introduced to a Gryphon and a Mock Turtle who share some Puns Most Terrible.
You'll need the Tenniel illustrations for this one, as one is actually mentioned in the text:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapters Six and Seven
In which our heroine encounters a Well-Seasoned Baby and presumably decides to Never Have Children, whereupon she meets the ones Everyone Has Been Waiting For: a most peculiar Cat, and a Tea Party Most Mad (yet not as mad as some); and in which our narrator Tries His Best to do neither a bad Sterling Halloway nor a bad Ed Wynn impression.
And then of course are the Tenniel illustrations:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapters Four and Five
In which our heroine plays house, discovers she may have a Drinking Problem, encounters a Caterpillar to whom the 1960s owe much, imitates a Serpent in a manner for which we are grateful there are No Illustrations, and finally learns to regulate her height, mycologically.
And don't forget about the Tenniel illustrations!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapters One to Three
In which our heroine follows the white rabbit down the rabbit hole, shrinks and grows in an attempt to enter a garden, insults her friend Mabel, swims in her own tears, engages in a race, and continually offends and frightens a mouse and several birds; and in which our narrator begins his podcasting career without even attempting a British accent, which is likely "For the Best," and apologizes for his atrocious French pronunciation.
No version of Alice is complete without illustrations. There have been many over the years, including at least a few in the public domain that I could use. However, by far the most iconic are the original illustrations by John Tenniel, closely supervised by Mr. Carroll himself. I'll be presenting the appropriate illustrations along with each post, matched up with the proper time in the recording:
