For those that have followed me for a bit, one heads up that I’m adjusting the way I do my recaps to make them a bit shorter. Feel free to let me know what you think!

Let’s dive in!

Dead Headspace:

Starting out as a fan, I was shocked when Patrick and Brennan of Dead Headspace asked me to guest host for the first time. This month, I joined Pat and Brennan officially as one of the three hosts of the show, and I cannot be more honored to take part! This month, I took part in three episodes:

Episode 182 with author Rachel Harrison

Episode 183 for the Best of Season 3 with guests Chance Forshee and Brian McAuley

We also had C.J. Tudor on the show to talk about her latest release, The Drift. The lovely Candace Nola joined this session as well! Stay tuned for that episode’s launch!
