Idling In The Impala: A Supernatural Podcast Sandra and Kasey

What does a podcast need? Listeners. Luckily, Sandra and Kasey have some of the best ones around. They’re spotlighting Idling in the Impala listeners in this episode. Specifically, they’re deep-diving into comments and interactions during the months of February and March.

Hopefully, this becomes an every few months thing. As always, they hope you enjoy the ride and thank you for listening!

Our podcast occasionally incorporates brief excerpts from the CW television show "Supernatural" for purposes of transformative commentary and analysis. We believe this use falls under the Fair Use doctrine codified in Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act.

Podfic Time – “Pine sweat (DESIRE, BUT WORSE)” by applecrumbledore

Thanks to Roni (applecrumbledore) for permission to narrate their incredible story. Here’s Chapter 6 - DESIRE, BUT WORSE.

Please visit the fic on AO3 and give it a kudo and comment - it deserves a ton of praise!

Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester

Summary:

Sam watched Dean hack up firewood with his hatchet. The magically-induced heat wave had his shirt soaked with sweat.

“Did you ever have a, uh… experimental phase?” Sam smacked his lips, trying to think of a diplomatic way to phrase it. “That kid—by which I mean you—has been staring. At me. Kind of a lot.”

(Sam and Dean get sent back to 1996 and go on a hunt with their teenaged selves. The kids don't know who they are.)

Subject Matter Disclaimer:  This podfic contains adult material of a sexual and graphic nature. Listener discretion is advised, and be mindful of the tags. Feel free to hop out of the backseat if that’s not your thing. Dean won’t hold it against you. More than likely, he or Sam or some other SPN character or any number of character combinations will be too busy holding other things against others to give it a second thought. If you’ve buckled up and are ready for the drive, please check your Bluetooth connections and/or plug in those headphones before the engine starts.

By proceeding, you understand that Idling in the Impala is not responsible for any embarrassment, cringe, or adverse consequences that may occur as a result of the listener failing to conduct these checks.

It’s taken the converging of two Supernatural podcasts, but Sandra and Kasey have finally done it. There’s a Sam-focused topic up for discussion on this episode! (Fear not, Dean lovers, the shorter brother gets plenty of attention, too.)

Supernatural Opinions Podcast hosts, KJ and Meredith, jumped into the IITI backseat for this chat. Sandra and Kasey have recorded two guest spots for Supernatural Opinions. They were fun and lively discussions. KJ, Meredith, and Kasey were basking in the collective glow of having people around to hold up the very heavy moose that is Sam Winchester. So, of course, they wanted to keep the Sam Love flowing.

Sam’s sexuality has been a topic Sandra and Kasey have visited and entertained. KJ and Meredith had their thoughts as well. Lucky listeners, you get to hear all about it in this episode!

Excerpt from runawaydr3amer’s notes on Sandman:

“This whole thing is kinky and explicit AF. It's got a good whack of angst, especially at the start, but if you take a chance on me, I promise it's also schmoopy as all get-out. Despite the somewhat alarming tags, please note that I only write happy endings.

If you don't like men showing emotions in response to trauma, this is not the right place for you.”

This doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the Wincest epic that is the Sandman ‘verse. And it’s obvious many readers like men showing emotions in response to trauma—the series, which began in 2022 and was completed in 2023, currently has well over 30,000 hits and almost 1,000 kudos on AO3!

Sandra and Kasey talked to Dreamer about everything they could think of about this story: from inspiration to the writing and beta process and posting decisions when you’ve got a 311,000 word-count baby you want to share with the Supernatural FanFic world. It’s a lot! You’re gonna want to get comfy with a beverage for this one!

Dean Winchester/Reader

Summary:

Dean Winchester is the cocky, but well-respected Lieutenant at Firehouse 25. He leads by example, but he’s also known to break a few hearts. He’s starting to crave something he’s never had, though. Something stable. Something real.

That’s when he meets you, on a truly terrible day, trapped in a rickety old elevator.

No toes in the sand for Kasey or Sandra, but they are taking a holiday break from recording. So, Sandra compiled some outtakes from back in early 2023. Enjoy a blast from the past!
