Introduction to Fun Things We Like

Hi everyone-

Emily and Amelia recently did a podcast about their favorite books, shows, and streamers. (Spoiler warning, there are a lot of role playing games, romance novels and wizard detectives.)

Here are links to the show as well as all the relevant links as meticulously linked as humanly possible.

We’ll have a new piece from Emily (and maybe a short ebook) coming your way very soon.
