Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of Storybeast where Courtney Shack and Ghabiba Weston discuss the transformative power of story.


In this episode of Season 4 Part 2, the Beasts:

  • get real chatty about things they love, but insist they are not sponsored (really, they are not)
  • talk about goals and themes for 2025
    • Courtney says numbers and Ghabiba does the math (it's book related, promise!)
    • Discuss burnout and how to avoid it this year
    • Claim Emily Rath as their own and get real into the excitement for North is the Night
    • Talk about upcoming projects
    • Allude to a secret that is now out--congrats to McKell Wall on her book announcement, Honey in Her Veins.
    • Chat about upcoming Arcane episodes with McKell.
    • Have snacks. Find Courtney's spinach and artichoke dip recipe she liked here or here Ghabiba's kale salad recipe.
