In light of recent news, we have decided to postpone bookclub for a week, because we don’t feel that anyone is in the right head space at the moment.
Instead we thought we would bring forward one of our hiatus episodes: 30 Questions! We answer difficult questions, while drinking alcohol, because hey, we’re still on holiday! (Have a read of Faejilly’s meta twitter thread we mentioned!) We also talk about #SaveShadowhunters and the many reasons we love fandom at the moment!
A note from Ruth: I call brother Zachariah brother Jeremiah. I am very silly and it only serves me right for drinking whilst podcasting.
Answer the questions and @ us on Twitter and tag it #SaveShadowhunters to have some fun and do your part in the fight!
So… bombshell dropped, fandom reeling, where do we go from here?
Not only have we just had the news that Shadowhunters will not be returning for a season 4 – we’re not crying, you’re crying! 🙁 – but also that 3b is not going to be returning ’til Spring 2019. Maybe we are crying a little…
So what does this mean for us? More hiatus episodes that’s what it means! Hold on to your hats, guys, our schedule is in for a bumpy ride.
To kick of the Shadowhunter Hiatus (WOE) we figured we would give you some suggestions on how to keep busy, during this difficult time.
We discuss Black Sails (TV), The Dresden Files (Book), The Amulet of Samarkand (Book) and our overwhelming, and possibly unhealthy, love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV) as well as talking about fandom and how we got into it. That should hopefully keep you busy for a while!
In preparation for the start of Shadowhunters Season 3, we’re looking at the tweets and teasers we’ve had during the hiatus, and talk through our hopes and dreams for the upcoming season, some of which seem very likely (Hello, Magnus backstory! Welcome, downworld world building); and some less so (we’ll never give up hoping for the full episode of steak eating, vodka drinking, and bath taking; and Ruth is holding on to the road-trip idea with both hands).
In short we’re super excited. Come join us!

In which we learn that our living room echoes terribly and that alcohol makes us less talkative rather than more – what’s up with that??
We are unsure about the success of this as a podcast episode, but it sure as hell works as a drinking game! After nearly a full bottle of rum, we ponder starting a second podcast, lament the fact that whatever we do in life, we will never be as cool and pretty as Maia Roberts, realise that people say ‘The Clave’ way too often and Michelle relives painful childhood chewing gum related memories…
Also, who are Clace and Jerry?
If you want to play along, the rules are here. Please make sure to drink responsibly. Look after yourself. Play the game in your home with friends you trust. If you don’t drink alcohol, you can play with soft drinks, chocolates (helps clear out that Christmas stash!) or our personal favourite: sherbet.
And if you are drinking alcohol, don’t forget to drink a pint of water before going to bed. You’ll be grateful in the morning.
