Ep. 112- Harry Dresden Is The Best At A Lot Of Things (Storm Front)
Laura finally finished a book series and also *shockingly* adores another TV show based on a videogame. Hannah has been listening to lots of great, queer YA books, and while getting into her thoughts on a movie she watched recently she changed her opinion on it completely. Then Hannah and Laura immerse themselves into the middle of Harry Dresden's case and the shenanigans that occur in Jim Butcher's Storm Front.

Customer Reviews
Love Hannah & Laura!
I enjoy Laura and Hannah’s discussions so much, and the fun energy they bring. I’m playing catch-up during their Indie Intermission (I will have to read iHunt soon because they make it sound SO fun), following their season on Wheel of Time—sooooo much to agree with there as I’m pretty burnt out on those books. Currently on Indie Intermission ep3 and I’m excited because I’m just now watching Umbrella Academy for the first time, and I’m glad to hear they think it’s worth the time! My life is pretty full, but I always make sure to tune in when I’m able to. They always manage to give me something to laugh about. 🖤
What a Thoughtful Discourse
I love that this show does deep dives into characterization and motivation, really getting to the heart of what makes a story good instead of just focusing on action beats. I cannot recommend it enough.
They reviewed my book (#iHunt: Killing Monsters in the Gig Economy) and frankly it’s the best discussion I’ve seen of it.
Just what I was looking for!
I started the daunting task of reading the WOT series a few months ago. I’ve been looking for a place to review and discuss the series and this is perfect! I love the topics and breakdown. The hosts don’t take it to seriously and it’s a lot of fun. So glad I discovered this podcast.
