A Sam Girl Retrospective

Lustra Teaser - Interview with author L

As a treat on the main feed, here is an interview with L about her S9 AU fix-it fan fiction series. It's about what inspired her to write her version of S9, which was the end of the Supernatural Season 8 finale: Sacrifice. I hope hearing her discuss her process and craft will inspire you to listen to the Lustra Bonus Podcast on Patreon! We drop 1 episode a month on the Purple Dog Tier. Enjoy!

S02E12 - "All Hell Breaks Loose" Parts 1 & 2

This week is the finale episode of S2. Jess joins Vic, L, and Audree to discuss “All Hell Breaks Loose” Part 1 & Part 2. It’s a majorly heavy episode, but you can count on us to find levity in it all. Just check out this week’s hashtags. There is a gifset Vic shares with us in the middle of recording that many of you will feel you NEED to see to participate up front, even though the reference is for Part 2, so here it is. Trigger warning when discussing the Yellow Eyed Demon near the end of Part 1 for references to CSA through metaphor, around minute 44.  Don’t forget to check out the visuals for this episode on Instagram, drop comments of your thoughts on our takes, and rate/like and subscribe on whatever platform you listen!=
