    Soup Season and Autumnal Reading

    It's the Episode Where We Draft a Team of Vampires to Perform a Stage Production of High School Musical!

    The gang remains stricken with vampire fever from their Interview With the Vampire Book Club discussion, so they decided they'd each draft a team of vampires in this special Spooky Season bonus episode. What are these teams of vampires doing? Why, they're doing Lestat, Armand, Louis, and the rest of those sad/horny vamps proud by staging a production of a High School Musical.

    Book Club: Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice

    Spooky Season creeps along as the gang welcomes special guest and Anne Rice enthusiast Lena into their home to help them sink their fangs into the author's Sad and Horny 1976 debut, Interview with the Vampire. Follow us on Instagram at @ReadersAdvisoryROC Lust for life: How Anne Rice’s alcoholism influenced “Interview with the Vampire” Mentioned in this episode: Joe Bean Roasters Tasty, flavorful coffee comes from thriving farms. However, long-held industry standards leave most farmers scraping by, severely limiting their ability to grow quality coffee. But, together, we can change that. Our direct-from-farm sourcing eliminates the many layers usually found between farmer and you. This results in prosperous farms with the capacity to grow exceptional coffee, which makes all our days brighter. We invite you to be part of a coffee movement where everyone is lifted. It's A Lot It's a Lot is a podcast about things that are a lot. We dive deep on social media, parenthood, and beyond—things that can be maddening, all-consuming, and also weird and wonderful. Tune in for honest conversations with parents, social media experts, authors, content creators, and more. We aim to explore hard topics with openness and nuance, while also finding the humor along the way. New episodes drop every other Tuesday. Hosted by Emily Hessney Lynch; find her at @servemethesky on Instagram or at www.servemethesky.com. Our logo was created by Tim Lynch of Tenderchomps Art.
