SPOILER Namesake Discussion with Adrienne Young (We are also freaking out about it!) Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

For the past several months, we have been waiting not so patiently for the release of Namesake. And by some form of magic, Adrienne Young heard our Fable recap and, incredible human that she is, said she'd come onto our episode and join us in a spoiler-FILLED episode of Namesake! This is where we dive in and reflect on powerful moments throughout Fable and Namesake, with discussions on the characters in this world, their complicated relationships, and the amazing process that Adrienne uses to write! We tried very, very hard to not lose our chill completely during this episode, because Adrienne is such a nice and wonderful person who also has a brain that is INCREDIBLE. And look- we fangirled in this description. We are totally cool about it. Totally cool.
