Episode 35 – Endings
We’re back with episode 35, discussing endings, why they’re heartbreaking, and why sometimes cutting it short is better than letting things go on too long. Topics include Firefly, Supernatural, and Magic in North America as well as mourning the loss of all our faves.
Episode 32 – Period Pieces
We’re back with episode 32, discussing historical fiction, period pieces, and Hamilton. What responsibilities do writers of historical fiction have? What’s so appealing about looking into the past? How important is realism when looking at historical fiction? All these things and a passionate discussion about how great Hamilton is – what more could you want?
