  • 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.
