Dashboard Diaries

Welcome soft, sad freaks! Once a month, writer and longtime Tumblr user Lauren Shippen and longtime user-slash-Tumblr-employee Cher McAnelly dive deep into our favorite fandom site. We talk trending topics, share our new ships, and forecast upcoming fandoms. If you’ve ever gone feral over a fic or bonkers about one of your blorbos, this podcast is for you!

And remember: the password to the secret clubhouse is “shoelaces”.

This podcast is not produced by, nor officially affiliated with Tumblr in any way, beyond the fact that we told them about it and they said “rad!” and high fived us before skating away on their wheelies. We love you, Tumblr.
