Welcome soft, sad freaks! Once a month, writer and longtime Tumblr user Lauren Shippen and longtime user-slash-Tumblr-employee Cher McAnelly dive deep into our favorite fandom site. We talk trending topics, share our new ships, and forecast upcoming fandoms. If you’ve ever gone feral over a fic or bonkers about one of your blorbos, this podcast is for you! And remember: the password to the secret clubhouse is “shoelaces”. This podcast is not produced by, nor officially affiliated with Tumblr in any way, beyond the fact that we told them about it and they said "rad!" and high fived us before skating away on their wheelies. We love you, Tumblr.

COMING SOON! Sign up to our Patreon for free to stay up to date. From the creator of The Bright Sessions comes a thrilling new original rock audio drama. Phantom Pulse is the story of a 90s rock band going out on their very first tour. But this band isn't like any other–they don’t just play music, they exorcise ghosts with it. In 1998 Phantom Pulse is setting out on their first real tour–weeks of dive bars and underground venues across the Midwest. They’ll have a chance to perform on real stages and perform their real (secret) job: using their music to exorcise ghosts. When Phantom Pulse hits the road, they have high hopes for the tour–that it’ll give them their big break and keep them from going broke if enough people pay them for their ghost-busting services. What they don’t expect is for the tour to change everything they think they know about the world (both physical and spirit). Again.
