Further Information
Format
- This podcast has a general fiction focus, but announced in their “2024 in Review!” episode that they would begin a book club in 2025, starting with “the DiscWorld series” and The Colour of Magic.
- Details of how this would work are unclear.
- The episode notes say they will be “moving to” a book as part of the book club, with later iterations asking to excuse Kelsey for reading other books in between.
- While there is a book discussion in most episodes, it doesn’t seem to include the book club book.
- The last Discworld book mentioned so far was Sourcery, in the notes for episodes released between 29 September 2025 and 25 April 2026.
- Mention of the book club was dropped from episodes notes in May 2026.
- The podcast also includes a broader discussion of politics and news, not just in the world of fantasy fiction.
Trivia
To be added.
Hosts
- Kelsey - a nerd with lots of animals.
- Johnny - an “uber nerd” and ordained minister, “obsessed” with sci-fi, fantasy, theology and “other crazy wonky stuff”.
