A podcast by three red-headed fantasy authors talking about everything from academic mythology to dick jokes (and sometimes, both at once), as well as the role of fanfiction as an integral yet oft-overlooked part of the literary conversation and in the broader cultural context. It is, obviously, a podcast of extremely deep literary merit.

Wondrous and fresh
Listening to these three discuss literary themes in a wide swath of genre writing gives a unique perspective into writing, plus they are HILARIOUS.
Soothing and thought-provoking
As someone who eventually gave up on trying to make herself "grow up" out of genre fiction and into the literary canon, it is a balm to my soul to hear fanfic and genre fic discussed in this manner. You might do as I did and trip into reading fanfic in new fandoms as a result of this podcast. I certainly bought books on the strength of how they were talked up here!
My favorite podcast genre
Which is: women (and non-binary folk) talking about the things they geek and laughing. Waiting impatiently for the squid, maths, and quantum entanglement episode. (Suggested tentpole: Binti)
