A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
Your weekly deep dive into the fantasy literature and fandoms that we love.
About the show
Hello there! We are your hosts, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie and this is A Court of Fandoms and Exploration: A Podcast.
Every Monday, we discuss the epic highs and lows of YA literature, fantasy/sci-fi, and the tv shows (old and new) that made us the slightly-damaged young millennials we are today. Experience the life-altering realizations and unresolved trauma that only YA and sci-fi/fantasy can soothe as we explore the worlds of Sarah J. Maas in Prythian, Crescent City, and Erilea, and head over to Sunnydale, Elfhame and more!
Thank you for listening to us! Please subscribe, leave a 5 star review, and follow us on Instagram and on our TikToks!
