ooh very interesting question! he's definitely not the only one who doesn't have one - agent green also doesn't have one (just one song: "a day in the life" by the beatles) and neither does sadie or ben

and all these characters, except agent green, have something in common: I didn't first create them! oliver was created by the incredible Caitlin Schneiderhan, and sadie and ben were created by the brilliant Meghan Fitzmartin and Briggon Snow. making a playlist is usually something I do before putting a character on paper, so I just never got into that process with these guys!

all that said, I certainly have opinions - playlists are always a mix of music that reminds me of the characters and music I think they would like, so in terms of music oliver would like...well, he canonically loves Carly Rae Jepsen. and I think that's pretty indicative - I think he likes pop-y pop (I do think he'd love Sabrina Carpenter) but then I think he also likes music pre-80s. everything from Sam Cooke to Ella Fitzgerald to dad rock.

which is all to say, I do not think he'd like Phantom Pulse at all lol

Hi jayalaw! Fantastic to hear that, thank you! 😍 (For anyone who missed our most recent essay, @megfitz89 on her new indie comic Mary Sue, it's here!) We are absolutely open to pitches—I'm mapping out the schedule for the early months of next year, and I would love a few more pieces in the works.

This very exciting episode welcomes author @megfitz89 as a guest! Listen to us discuss Meghan's new comic series, delve into her fandom history and her work as an author. We had the pleasure of discussing sexism and misogyny in fandom/fanfiction, the stories and fandoms shaped us in our teenage years, and the importance of horniness in our stories.

Fic discussed in this episode:

"Search for the Lost Ones (Guardians of Light)," by Jensfire (Star Wars)

Other media referenced:

"Mary Sue," by Meghan Fitzmartin, Lisa Sterle (Issue #1)

Do you love 90s rock, queer found family, ghosts, and also fiction podcasts? Well, do we have a show for you!

From the creator of The Bright Sessions comes a thrilling new original rock audio drama. Phantom Pulse is the story of a 90s rock band going out on their very first tour. But this band isn't like any other–they don’t just play music, they exorcise ghosts with it. 

Phantom Pulse is currently crowdfunding for their first season. You can give to the Kickstarter now and get exclusive, limited edition merch, early access to the show, and much more. 

The five band members are being played by truly incredible actors: Nicholas Podany, Erika Ishii, Briggon Snow, Juliana Gutiérrez Arango, and Erin Caesar. And the creative team is made up of audio drama veterans: Lauren Shippen, Ella Watts, Evan Cunningham, and Brandon Grugle.

If you believe in original, queer art that is earnest and inclusive, but also messy and dramatic, please consider giving to our Kickstarter!!!
