Ep. 51 - Eldest: Saphira’s Promise & Requiem (w/ Francesca McMahon)

This podcast has guests?!

Darien (she/they) and Lucy (she/her) are joined by a special guest Francesca McMahon (any) for Eldest chapter 6, “Saphira’s Promise,” and chapter 7, “Requiem.” 

Talking points include making a guest do the chapter summaries, Saphira’s unexpected remorse, the dwarves’ deepening respect for Saphira, speculation on the symbolism behind death rituals, giving Paolini props for knowing how to end a chapter strong, how Nasuada song provides insight into her backstory, and a very unhappy Cache dog barking indignantly in the background cause he had to be in his kennel during recording (sorry). 

Sparks of Inspiration

• Lucy has a Geode this week, breaking out of her writer’s block and creating a new short story about The Deep. 

• Fran sings the praises of Power Rangers (2017) (It’s actually great, y’all.)

• Darien is inspired by all of her amazing friends, for real.
