  Update & The Works of V.E. Schwab

  Jun 18, 20265 minS3

  Little change in the episode order, as we'll be covering TJ Klune's We Burned so Bright for June instead of The Ending Writes Itself by V.E. Schwab and Cat Clarke. With that said, we did want to gush on the works of V.E. Schwab, so there's a quick primer on her genre-bending bibliography. And for our local listeners, you can catch Schwab in October at NC State ! Theme music by Practical Dinosaur Send us a message at TheGoodArtFriends@gmail.com , or connect on Bluesky at @goodartfriends.bsky.social‬ .
