A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
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 Prythian, Crescent City, Sunnydale, Elfhame and more. Thank you for listening to us! Please subscribe, leave a 5 star review, and follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/acofaepodcast/) and on our TikToks!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Drive Me Crazy: "Onward through the fog!"
What do you think of when you read the title - the Britney Spears megahit or the movie the song was featured in? ACOFAE can probably guess! A movie that doesn't get the attention it probably deserves, Drive Me Crazy, slipped in before the Millennium and gave us Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier in a teen movie filled with tropes. Really there's a lot of them: fri...

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Cruel Seduction: "..sexy Clue, now we have The Purge."
Here at ACOFAE we are all well aware of what a "travel book" means to the pod. What if Laura Marie and Jessica Marie were to introduce the idea of a "consequence book"?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The River of Silver: "Don't let others make you feel small."

Told in anthology form, each story gives a different perspective...
