5 represents curiosity and adventure. 

In this Halloween Campfire finale, we dived into our creepiest, spookiest, and strangest stories together with our special guests, Mark Beau de Silva and Balqis.

The more the merrier, they said.

Cue the spooky music, the Jack-o'-lanterns, and maybe a ghost in the distance... 

Welcome, to our Halloween special for the month of October highlighting various aspects of all things spooky. In this first episode, we will discuss the origins of Halloween and of course, our Hungry Ghost Month Festival. From superstitions to offerings and traditions, we are here to offer you the appetizer before moving on to our main haunts.

Warner Bros, Disney, 21st Century Fox, Dreamworks, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Columbia, ANYONE ELSE IN THE INDUSTRY… Please make our dreams come true but before you do, please read the books.

PPS: WORK WITH THE AUTHORS DAGGUMMIT. We will not stand for another failed adaptation *cough* The Percy Jackson movies...

STOP ROMANTICISING VILLAINS. This episode is all about that and although they may be charming, they really do be manipulative and that is NOT a relationship we want to condone.

You can tell this episode is pretty serious, but buckle up cause it’s an important topic to talk about!

If you ignore the books written by Rick Riordan, the movies were tolerable. But it wasn’t. So end of story, it was an abomination. OH AND. Nicole and Esther talk about Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings, but that’s not important.

In this episode, we were originally supposed to talk about the ripple effect in fictional works but then um, we went pretty deep into the origins of all the folklore, myths, and legends that made up the fantastical creatures in all of our favorite fantasy and supernatural genres. Wow, that was a long sentence. So is this episode. Hopefully, you don’t fall asleep :D

Our obsession with the Shadow and Bone Netflix series and Grishaverse series by Leigh Bardugo may get a little bit overwhelming. But trust us, it’s all worth it in the end. So enjoy this long episode of us fangirling over the whole thing. :)

It’s our first episode!!! We go a little bit deeper on why we started this podcast and what were our experiences reading books growing up. The good, the bad, the in-between. All that kind of stuff.

Hey Utopia Nomads! In this episode, we talk about the WHOs, the WHYs, and the WHAT that make up this podcast. Get to know us a little before the launch of our first season! We can’t wait and we hope you’re excited too :)
