Shadow and Starlight Podcast
This comedic book-review podcast is about deep diving into the stories, characters, world building, and lore of beloved fantasy texts to better understand the book, create a community, and laugh as we do it. The idea behind our show is connecting diverse groups of people behind one thing: a love for the characters, worlds, and escape that fantasy books offer us.
