The Dramione Podcast

Hola dear Dramione fan! We, Diana and Georgy, are so excited to dedicate this entire episode to our favorite Hermiones. Yes, you hear that right… after talking extensively about the best Dracos, it's about time we talked about our favorite girl. 

You'll discover so, so many wonderful Hermione heroines in this episode, some brand new ones, which we haven't mentioned before, because we've been devouring Dramione fanfiction like crazy lately (Diana went through a tough time in her life and Dramione acts like medicine for her). 

Join us, as we talk about our favorite girl, why he love her so much, what we love about her and what makes her character in the respective fanfic so special. You'll just have a great time all around, not to be missed, as always. Truly, one of our best episodes yet, probably because... anything related to Hermione can't be anything less than brilliant.

Don't forget you can email us at [email protected] for any questions, suggestions, recommendations, access to The Dramione Masterlist of Recommendations or any other thought or need or secret wish that crosses your beautiful Dramione fan mind.

The next episode will be The Dramione Podcast's 1 year anniversary and we have a fun little surprise for you: A re-ranking of our top 10 favorite Dramione Fanfics from the first episode. See how much has changed since then and which are our favorite fanfics of all time, after reading more than 12 Million words of Dramione.

Much love always, yours,

Diana and Georgy

Welcome back, dearest Dramione fans <3! Ready for some Draco-and-Hermione-our-favorite-couple talk?

Not so fast, though, hehe: Before we discuss Dramione, we have a lovely (we think) and from-the-heart gift for you, our wonderful friends. It has been a request from some of our dear listeners <3 and honestly, it made so much sense, we had to fulfill this wish. What is that gift you may ask? You will just have to listen and find out. We promise it is so, so worth it. We (Georgy especially) worked on it assiduously from the past weeks, for it to be ready for this episode. It's also a thank-you from the bottom of our hearts, as we reached 5,000 plays with The Dramione Podcast exactly on Valentine's Day. Wooow and multiple yay-hurray! 

In this episode, we talk about beautiful Dramione stories we have been reading and have loved. 

The stories we cover this time are so many and diverse, there is no way you won’t find something you'll fall in love with. We have everything: From 1 chapter fics to longer stories, from Slytherin Hermione to Muggle AU with Daddy Draco (not that kind of Daddy, the other kind of Daddy, wink-wink), from Healer Draco to Therapist Narcissa, marriage law with a twist, purest of smuts, Voldemort wins au, and many more.

True, given there is no theme for this episode, the recommendations are unstructured (to Diana's chagrin), but they're colorful, wonderful and irresistible. Enjoy to the fullest!

We can’t wait to hear what you think about the episode or if you have any ideas of fics to read or any suggestions at all, you can write to us at [email protected]. 

With much love, Diana & Georgy.

Happy Valentine's Day to you, dearest Dramione fanfic friends!!! Diana and Georgy here with a special episode for you on this special day - We almost forgot to mention this until towards the end, probably because we are in love... in love with Draco :D!

Honestly, we think that there are so many categories under "Best Draco", we could have a Draco centric podcast. However, this is our last Best Draco episodes… for now :), so let's enjoy it with all our hearts.

This week we have new Best Draco categories, this time Diana's choices, with a different perspective, based on his traits and features. Let's see what comes out of it, heheee. Here are the categories for you:

1. Draco truest to character

2. Sweetest/ Softest Draco

3. Dom Draco (hot!)

4. Creature Draco

5. Best Redemption Arc

6. Draco making a life for himself

So much excitement in the air to reveal the winners in these categories! Tell us what we missed, guys. Which ones are your favorites <3?

I n the first part of the podcast, we also discuss some lovely emails sent by you, our lovely listeners, and we answer some of your questions just in case anyone else was wondering about: resorting fics, how to find Dramione audiobooks, how to have your fics read to you on fanfic.net and many more. 

It is a lovely episode where we share some classics, some new stories and overall gush over everyone’s favorite tall blond handsome Slytherin. Who's that anyway???

Important: Fresh fanfic infusion alert ;). In the next episode we will go over some new fanfics we've been reading lately and so you're in for brand new recommendations we've never talked about before. We can't wait. Don't miss it!

As always write to us at [email protected], lovely people! We love you, 

Diana and Georgy

Holaaa, dearest Dramione fan! Diana and Georgy here! 

We're so excited to be recording today's episode: Not only are we recording this face to face and it's the first episode of the year, but we also get to talk about our favorite tall blonde smirking prat Slytherin. Who could it beee?

Yes, you have guessed it… it’s the Best Dracos episode, or... at least one of the Best Draco episodes, because HOW can one include all of them in just one episode? 

Today’s classification was decided by Georgy, who thought that a more chronological approach was best:

1. School era Draco: Before 8th year

2. School era Draco: 8th year

3. War time Draco

4. Voldemort Wins AU Draco

5. Post-war Draco

6. Dad Draco

Sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, wine or... lemon water and listen to our picks and descriptions of these irresistible Dracos *sigh*. We mention how they are, what fanfic they're in and what the fanfic is about, too.

In the next episode, the categories will be decided by Diana, who has a very different way of categorizing her Dracos (make sure you are subscribed to the podcast to get the notification when new episodes are out). In the end, no matter what, we both love most Dracos endlessly and, as you have already noticed, we can talk about them endlessly (we were actually late for our brunch with our girlfriends because of this episode). 

We included a little heart-warming moment, when Georgy reads two lovely messages from our listeners: 

- Samolly, who had the great idea to have a "listener suggestions" episode (Thank you for giving us the idea to create an email for this!)

- Beam, our lovely, wonderful and devoted follower, whose message made us extremely happy (You made our hearts melt, Beam <3!).

And in case you think we didn’t mention it enough during today’s episode, if you have suggestions, comments, wishes, ideas and just want to say hi, please write to us at [email protected]. We can't wait to hear from you! Much love from us!

Diana and Georgy are so excited to record this week, not just because this is the last episode in the Dramione Tropes series, but also because they get to do it while looking into each other's eyes in person, laughing and sharing all the feels, since they are recording in premiere from Bucharest, Romania.

So many tropes, and all are favorites! This is episode #3 where we discuss the most beloved tropes of the Dramione fandom. You're in for really good stuff, because Georgy and Diana share their favorite Dramione fanfics for each of the following: Forced Proximity/ Mutual Pining/ Fake Dating/ Time Travel/ Omegaverse & Veela/ Mystery & Adventure. 

Listen to this episode for wonderful recommendations of beautiful fanfics, some of which we’ve never talked about before, some classics and, as always, some surprising choices. And... have a drink every time Georgy coughs, if you want to be hammered by the end of the episode, hehe. 

You’re in for a funny, uplifting and positive episode, the last of 2021, a prolific year of Dramione. We love you and thank you for being you!

We can't wait to come back to you in 2022 with our (we think) hardest episode to do: Favorite Dracos!!! How will we be able to choose from so many amazing, irresistible Dracos?!?

Reach out to us at [email protected] for any ideas, suggestions or if you just want to tell us we are wonderful:)!

1-year already? Listen to this short and heart-warming episode to find out the twisted way in which the Dramione journey started for your hosts, Georgy & Diana, how they ended up doing the podcast, what Draco & Hermione can teach you for your life and relationship with your significant other, and, most importantly... which Draco Georgy would marry. 

We wanted to do something special to celebrate their 1 year anniversary of reading Dramione, fanfiction that changed our lives. This is what came out ;).

We recorded a  funny, witty and insightful special 1 year anniversary episode about this wonderful journey: discovering and reading Dramione, doing the podcast, what we realized about ourselves and our wonderful friendship and some stats along the way to pay homage to our economics roots 😉 (we met at university). 

Georgy also would like to thank Diana for some wonderful, secret and surprising questions she had prepared for this special occasion and hopes she didn't disappoint with her answers (Diana's note: she really didn't and you have to listen and ask yourself the exact same questions). 

Diana also confessed reading her first non-Dramione fanfic (it's Reylo, guys, what else) and what a journey that has been for her (mind-blowing, I tell ya). 

Can’t wait to have the next episode recording IN PERSON in a couple of days and continue our tropes episodes (it's the 3rd in the tropes series). So exciting!

We thank all of you guys so much for joining us in this beautiful and magical ride in the world of Dramione. We love you and thank you for sharing this passion, for your lovely energy, for embarking on and experiencing this journey with us. You are awesome <3!

Aaand we're back (kind of from outer space) after a 1-month break, caused by Georgy being a little sick, Diana being a little busy and life happening.

But, no reason to despair, because this episode is a TREAT! Topic for today, thoroughly and "in-depthly" analyzed is one of the favorite tropes of the Dramione pairing: Memory Loooss/ Obliviatiooon! 

Why is this trope so popular? Because Draco and Hermione have a horrible past together and forgetting what happened allows them to see each other with new eyes, for who they truly are, or who they could have been without a certain pureblood upbringing. So much potential here, works on me Every. Single. Time!

In this (wonderful, might we dare say) episode, we recommend more than 10 to-die-for Dramione FanFics with the Memory Loss/ Obliviation tag. We avoid spoilers, but aim to give you enough information for you to make an informed decision which ones are for your beautiful Dramione-loving soul.

So, always, sit back, relax and enjoy an episode full of great recommendations, humor, personal impressions and deep philosophy-ing on our favorite topic in the world: Dramione!

Much love from Georgy & Diana!

Holaaa! Favorite Tropes, here we go! Georgy and Diana choose 5 of the most common tropes and they share their favorite one(s) from each. 

THIS IS OUR FIRST IN PERSON EPISODE. We met in New York and recorded the episode while looking into each other's eyes. Sooo romantic, hahaaa!

So, what come out of it?

We talk about some reaaally awesome fanfics we haven't mentioned before, so you're in for some goodies. If you have a favorite trope, if you want something new or different, if you want some trustworthy recommendations or if you simply love Dramione (don't we all...), then this is for you!

This episode's tropes are:

1. Marriage Law (oh, many to recommend here)

2. Soulmates (oh, so beautiful)

3. Co-workers (so much potential) 

4. Baby Fics (you know, with Scorpius or Rose or... etc.)

5. Animagus (one of them is one)

Enjoy the episode and, after that, enjoy the recommendations. We are so excited for you.

Important notice :P. This is only the beginning of our tropes episodes. The next one will be on "Memory Loss/ Obliviation" - SO so many good fanfics in this one. The episode after the next will include: forced proximity, mutual pining, fake dating, time travel, omegaverse (ABO), mystery/ adventure. Stay tuned for those ones, as well.

Much love to you from G & D <3.

Dramione tiiime, everyone - today more than ever, because it's Sept 19th, i.e. Hermione's bday.

Don't miss this episode, because we have a new collection of some of the best Dramione fanfics! In the last 3 months we've read SO many amazing stories and we gathered them all in this episode full of gems. 80% of the ones we mention is this episode we haven't mentioned ever before.

We each have a breath-taking Top 5 (of sorts, because when can either of us keep it to only 5?) of very diverse, beautiful and intriguing stories on time travel, forced proximity, Animagus Draco, secret orders, soul bindings from infancy, mystery and adventure and lots and lots of love (and sex, of course). 

Ahhh, we get the feels just by thinking about the fanfics we included in this episode. Can't wait for you to enjoy! Yours,

Georgy & Diana
