  • I feel seen!

    After trying (and failing) to get all of my friends on the Red Rising train, I’m so so amped to have this podcast! I have read and reread all of the books (some many times over) and I am having the best time listening to Ben and Erin chat about these beloved characters. You guys are the best!

  • Y’all need to LISTEN

    Red Rising has millions of fans, yet this podcast remains in the shadows. Clearly, only the true Howlers have heard the call.

  • Early Spoiler

    A massive spoiler is given in the first episode. If you have not finished the entire series, do NOT listen to the Intro episode. From what I’ve heard, the hosts seem fun and I’ll definitely come back to listen once I finish all the books.
