That's What We're TOG'ing About
June 11, 2021 11:00 - 58 minutes - 80.1 MBIt's the moment you've all (or at least some of you, LOL) have been waiting for! The THRONE OF GLASS reread commences this month, and to make sure that we're prepared, Steph and I have decided to chat all things Throne of Glass to get into TOG gear (so yes, this episode will contain prolific and unmarked spoilers) for the series, so if you're a newbie to Throne of Glass, we recommend listening after you read the books. We'll be kicking off our reread with THE ASSASSIN'S BLADE, and our recap ...
RUHNminations
June 04, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 84.1 MBCovered in this episode: We take a bit of a deep dive into the history and lore of the Starborn Fae from CRESCENT CITY (so this episode will have unmarked HOEAB spoilers!), which of course means discussing our favorite Chosen One, Ruhn Danaan. What you can expect from this episode: Ava gets too attached to Arthurian lore (but what else is new) Forked Proximity Trope (?)

Nestassary Changes
May 28, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 129 MBCOVERED IN THIS EPI: Steph and I are brazen die-hard Nesta fans, so this episode is just us fangirling over our fave, swooning over Nessian, and adoring the Valkyrie friendship. We'll be chatting: Wings and Embers - this is the Nessian bonus scene in ACOMAF! When did we start to love Nesta (*cough cough* Immediately) Dread Trove Discourse Do keep in mind there will be MASSIVE ACOSF SPOILERS! PS. There are some minor cameos from Ernie's squeaky toy!
Elain in the Membrane
May 21, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 126 MBCOVERED IN THIS EPI: Elain is one of the most controversial characters in the Maasverse at the moment; people seem to either love or hate her! Steph and Ava talk the ins-and-outs of the most talked-about theories regarding the middle Archeron sister, the ship wars, and, of course, a bit of Marvel. Steph goes on a Lucien-t (tangent) Garden of Sekrets Elain = Zemo? Mating Bond or Walkie Talkie? All Aboard the Evil Elain Train? Love in BLOOM🌺🌸💐 Please note that there are unmarked spoiler...

Lucien Lips Sink Ships
May 07, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBCOVERED IN THIS EPI: In the first part of this highly-anticipated episode, Steph and Ava break down one of Fandomtastic’s favorite characters: Lucien Vanserra. Although maybe not as controversial as his big, bad brother, people certainly have a LOT of feelings regarding Lucien - and so did we! In This Episode You Can Expect: Mating-bond musings Which band is the most moody: Panic! At the Disco, My Chemical Romance, or the Band of Exiles? This photo A breakdown of Tamlin’s ‘tude Thank y...

The Eristocracy
April 09, 2021 11:00 - 56 minutes - 52.3 MBCOVERED IN THIS EPI: This episode tackles the one-and-only Eris Vanserra. High Lord Beron’s eldest son, Eris became one of the most-talked about figures in the fandom post-ACOSF; so obviously we had to join in. And not just because we think he rocks the sexy kinda-villainous look - but we’d be lying if we said that wasn’t part of the appeal. Hear us talk about: Daddy issues (times deux) A Mysterious Mating Bond Cassian Spills the Tea on Autumn Court Males Is Eris a DILF? Yes, no, maybe ...
