DTR: Down To Read
This is the podcast for dragon riding witches and the people who love to read about them. Your hosts Ali Plante (librarian + medievalist) and Jackie Jennings (SYFY host + writer) are two friends who love all things fantasy, sci-fi, romantasy and historical fiction.
You know that text thread you're on where everyone is freaking out over Azriel + Elain memes, screaming about HotD, and sharing deep cut faerie smut recs? This is that...in podcast form
Join them as they dive into their current reads, analyze the latest news and trends in speculative fiction.
DTR: Down To Read
Episode 2: GoT, Gateways, and Entry Points
This week is all about beginnings and restarts...and Game of Thrones, duh. Jackie and Ali take a peek back at that weird space between childhood and adolescence when reading speculative fiction (or anything) takes a back seat to being cool/hot/grown-up. Did you speculative fiction as a kid? Did someone tell you to stop? How did you get back in and why was it via Game of Thrones?
All of these questions and more, answered forever on this week's DTR.
