Episode #7 - Artists Edition 2.0

There’s a sequel! Wow! More artists, more art, more arting (and yes, Urban Dictionary says arting is a word). However, unlike most sequels, we have an entirely new—and just as fantastic—cast for this episode: @henreyettah and @tzkshuu (like a sneeze)! Listen in as we discuss a variety of fancy art stuff, like drawing with your own style, favorite tropes, technical backgrounds, interacting with other fans around your art, and the dreaded reposting issue.

oooh, what about a topic on meps? like the cola song or the i'm ready meps? i love those so much and editors never get enough love in any fandom, sadly, so a podcast dedicated to them would be super super cool!

That’s definitely a good idea, anon! I’m personally a huge fan of MEPs/AMVs as well, so I’ll ask around to see if we can get some people on the show who have any experience with that sort of thing!

Got a topic to suggest? Go to our ask!

Episode #6 - Artists Edition

Open up your eyes and ears and listen in to an episode all about the artists! This time, we’re covering all sorts of things that come with being an awesome fan-artist for a show such as Voltron. Stuff like blending canon style with your own, selling merch at cons, collaborating with authors, and just generally being in love with the show—it’s all talked about! This episode may be slightly shorter than normal, but we’ve got amazing co-hosts to make up for it; get ready for @aquacanis and @haryuusart , everyone!

Episode #5 - Writers Edition

A big part of fandom is wonderful fanfic, which is a train driven by a whole lot of imaginatve writers. In this episode, we cover a whole bunch of stuff that comes with writing for a show such as Voltron, like the angst/whump/fluff/crack genres, comments and getting inspired by your readers. Not to mention just the general joy of torturing your favorite characters to their phsycological limit. Yeah, that comment is directed at our super-smart co-hosts this episode, @tomminowrites and @finwritesthings. It's terrifying.

Episode #4 - Space theories and Sci-fi

The magical universe of Voltron is all about theories. How do Allura’s earrings work? What even magnets? Eh? A meta-discussion on Narti, and an out-of-this world debate about Kaltenecker the moosterious cow; not everything is a cowincidence in the Voltron: Legendairy Defender. Yeah, we’re really milking the theory thing this episode, can you tell? But that’s because this week, we’ve also got some experts in the field: @tomminowrites, the resident sci-fi writer, and our extra-special guest host, @finwritesthings!
