- GET READY TO WREAK SOME HAVOC! This new fiction podcast from the writer that brought you The Bright Sessions and Bridgewater follows the story of Harper, a thirty-six year old nihilist whose life is upended when she’s possessed by a demon hell-bent on bringing about the apocalypse. Harper doesn’t want to end the world, but the demon gives her more power than she’s had in her life in a long time. In a world where so many people abuse their power, will Harper be any different? TWO THOUSAND AND LATE blends sharp satire with genre flair and wickedly lovable antiheroes. It’s a potent cocktail of feminist rage, queer power, and supernatural mischief.
