Podcast News:

If you haven’t heard the news, Ana is launching a podcast with our friend Renay of Lady Business!

Fangirl Happy Hour is a biweekly podcast where Ana and Renay get to fangirl about everything under the sun: books, comics, TV and movies, fandom and pop culture. Each episode will have three segments (three different topics of conversation) and extra recommendations of things they liked.

The first full episode will be released on Tuesday 13 and they will be talking about: anticipated TV, Books and Movies for 2015 (ALL the Kate Elliott, N.K. Jemisin, Aliette de Bodard and more); the Serial podcast and all the complicated feels they have about it; and Agent Carter, the new Marvel TV Show that is approximately 21778590003 times better than Agents of the Shield. Warning for: fangirling, lightsaber noises and squees.

In the meantime, they recorded a short intro to the show, talking about their plans for it. It’s now available here.

In the meantime, you can find Fangirl Happy Hour on the interwebs at their website or:
