  • Deep dives with true fans

    This is such a fun, approachable podcast with endearing hosts for true fans of the Supernatural fandom (oh yeah, and SPN, too). I love hearing creators talk about their work, and Sandra’s podcast narrating is so professional and beautifully done. Also I’m a samgirl, like Kasey. Solidarity! Try this podcast! You won’t regret it!

  • Feels Like Chatting with Your Besties

    It’s been a long day at work, you’re fighting with your significant other, and bills are due. But you decide to kick back with a glass of your preferred poison and your comfiest loungewear and call up your best friends. You ask for a distraction and -oh boy- do they deliver. That’s what this podcast feels like. I cannot recommend it enough.

Exploring Emotional Fanfiction: IncogNinja’s ‘You Will Hollow Out My Heart And I Will Haunt Your Bed’
Q: What inspired you to write the Soldier Boy fic and its emotional depth?
MJ explains she based the story on her own observations of narcissistic behavior and how it plays out in relationships, using the fic to explore power dynamics, manipulation, and the humanity of the characters without glorifying abuse.
Supernatural Fandom Quiz Deep Dive with katsidhe – Exploring the X-Coded Y Girl
Q: How did you come up with the X-Coded Y Girl concept?
I created it as a more nuanced, long-form approach to classify how people resonate with archetypes, aiming to go beyond simple 'Are you Sam or Dean?' labels and instead map values, aspirations, and self-image.
