We're celebrating a very special someone's birthday in this special edition of The Fangirl Business: fangirl-in-training, Zoey, just turned 8! In this episode, Zoey discusses her favorite Supernatural character, Rowena, her experience with the Collins' cookbook, The Adventurous Eaters Club, and her fave songs from Radio Company and Louden Swain. Plus, we get the scoop on her family's best (and wackiest) GISH moments!

Yes, there were some big reveals and even bigger questions in episode 12 ... but Chrisha and Catherine really loved all the squishy human goodness in the middle of it all: lots of feels, lots of growth, lots of family moments.

Big stuff was revealed in episode 12, and Chrisha and Catherine are digging into it in this first part of another multi-part podcast. From the workings of Supernatural's cosmos, to the divide between cosmic beings and humans when it comes to valuing human life, to meta commentary on contemporary issues in our own world-Chrisha and Catherine dig into the big picture in this first installment on "Galaxy Brain."

Chrisha and Catherine take the time to delve into some theories they've been working on ... since January. Yup. Big stuff. Angels, demigods, hope, the upending of entire systems--they talk about it all in this last hiatus podcast before Supernatural returns tomorrow with Episode 12!  If you can't wait to watch more fresh Supernatural episodes tomorrow, or if you're looking for some encouragement about how the series may end, take a listen!

There's been a lot going on in the past few weeks for the SPNFamily.

Chrisha and Catherine talk about the many hits that the fandom (and the world) have been taking, with an eye to how we can support and uplift each other, and what they are doing personally to cope during these unsettling times.

Hang in there, fam. We love you.

In the second of their two-part deep dive about Dean Winchester, Chrisha and Catherine examine Dean's healing and growth over the course of his 15-year story. They delve into concepts such as post-traumatic growth (healing from trauma stronger than before the trauma occurred) and re-parenting (giving ourselves what our parents did not give us in our childhoods) as key facets of Dean's journey, as well as discussing their hopes for Dean as he moves forward.

Trigger Warning:
The episode includes conversation about anger, trauma, abandonment, and self-hatred, as well as an in-depth discussion of the clinical definition of PTSD (starting at 44:42 and ending at 56:26).

In the first of their hiatus episodes, Chrisha and Catherine start with Dean Winchester's own query, "I don't know why I get so angry," as a jumping off point for looking at how Dean's past trauma and coping mechanisms have shaped his behavior today. This deep dive goes all the way back to Season 1, and spans the course of all fifteen seasons. (Their next episode will look at Dean's healing and growth!)

In part two of their three-parter, Chrisha and Catherine talk about Cas' continuing BAMFiness, Jack's brokenness, and that incredible reunion scene at the end of "The Gamblers." They also discuss the problem of Cas' power for the writers, Cas' as a parent, and how Sam and Dean's compassion was put to the test in the face of seeing Jack again.
