We're Saffron Asteria and Sora Sullivan. Two strangers who are strange and like reading and writing fiction.
This time around, we are not doing well! And it shows. And it's hilarious. Bog witchcore at its finest!
But we're gonna give it our best shot. This week, this time, we're talking about Never by Ashley Capes (to the tune of "Baby Snakes" by Frank Zappa), which is the first (prequel) in the Book of Never series. It's a bite-sized bit of wonderful fantasy with treats of exposition, loveable characters, and some visceral darkness in it.
Never is available through many fine ebook retailers. You can find the whole list here at https://books2read.com/u/3RBg9Y

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
