On each episode, join your host, Sharon, to talk about literature and society with a special guest.
I’m thrilled to introduce Lana, whom I met on TikTok. Her videos appeared on my For You Page, and I messaged her because she seemed like a lovely human being — and she is! I admire how unapologetically she loves the things she loves, which is exactly what we talk about in this episode: queerness, finding community, and fangirling over Harry Potter fanfiction.

Today, I have Beth, a very close friend, on the show. We met in a first-year Sociology class at university, but we actually went to the same middle school.
