Anniversary Special - Annette Curtis Klaus: Blood and Chocolate

Special Backlist: We've been at this drinking game for 2 whole years! Can you believe it? I mean, we can. Definitely feels longer! And at long last, we're re-reading the Season 1 Ep3 book whose original audio was buggered up (Ollie apologizes forever), but it's totally fine: we learned a lot from that read which made this time extra interesting. Get ready for Annette Curtis Klaus' BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE, published August 1997!

Chill: Drinking! Cyna is drinking a Blood Orange Chocolate martini (crème de cacao, blood orange cocktail mix, orange juice, orange-flavored vodka). Ollie is drinking an absinthe cocktail, this time an Undeath in the Afternoon (Absente absinthe and ginger ale). Check our drink set ups on twitter since they're extra pretty: Cyna - Ollie

We'll be watching the B&C movie on Saturday the 28th, where we'll live tweet it; we'll post the exact time and hashtag on @BacklistPodcast twitter so watch for updates there. You can watch along with us with your own copy (or DM for link details).

Intro theme - "Let It In" by Josh Woodward.

Next time: Season 6 begins in December, and we'll post an announcement to Chillest tier patrons first. Chiller and Chillest tier patrons will receive the intro episode before it goes public!
