Droughtlander Diaries

✨ It’s our 100th episode, Droughties!! ✨
We truly can’t believe we’ve hit this milestone together. Today, we’re celebrating with a very special guest — the incredibly talented Charles Vandervaart, who you all know and love as William Ransom on Outlander.

Over the past two years, we’ve poured our hearts into keeping you entertained through every moment of Droughtlander, and your support is the reason we’re here at Episode 100. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just joined the journey, we cannot thank you enough for listening, sharing, laughing, and fangirling with us.

We love our Droughties more than words can say, and we hope you’ll stick with us for the next 100 episodes (and beyond!).
We love you!!

Today’s episode looks a little different! Since it’s Thanksgiving week, we’re taking a short break from guests—but we still wanted to bring you something fun to enjoy over the holiday. So, we’ve turned all of our LandCon Scotland cast interviews into one special episode!

The sound quality isn’t our usual best (we didn’t have our mics with us), but the conversations are still full of laughs, great moments, and some truly delightful answers from the cast we all love.

We hope you enjoy this little treat, and we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🦃

This week, we’ve got our number one Droughtie — and the genius who coined the phrase Fairy Podmothers — joining us on the podcast! She’s here to tell us all about her recent trip to England to see Sam Heughan star in Macbeth. She breaks down the play for us, shares some great stories from the Q&A she attended and even gives a few helpful tips for anyone hoping to catch Sam at the stage door.

Plus, Jess recaps her weekend at Sasnak City: The Gathering, with all the fun, chaos, and unforgettable moments that came with it.

It’s a jam-packed episode full of fandom fun, theater magic, and behind-the-scenes stories you won’t want to miss!
