An Erotic Fiction podcast. The daring (and sexy) adventures of a femme fatale just making her way through a wild Galaxy. Inspired by the feel of ’80s and ’90s sci-fi adult films and comics, and all themes and clichés they entailed. If scantily clad slave girls and the lusty aliens that covet them aren’t your thing. Baby, don’t say we didn’t warn ya.The Galaxy is a wild place, the Human Federation does little to protect its people on the outer edges before treaty space, where Empires build their economies on slaves and war. That’s where Yuki makes her name as the deadliest Human Assassin. Always on the edge of the known verse looking for big scores and infamous targets, all with a smile on her face. Though she’s cocky, some would say too cocky. This flaw puts her in some very titillating situations... Like what you hear? Visit our Patreon for bonus episodes, comics, and *special* audios.

All About Agatha is a podcast all about, well, Agatha. Agatha Christie, of course: the Queen of Crime, a real-life Dame of the British Empire, and author of sixty-six mystery novels that spanned the Twentieth Century, defining a genre. For five years, Catherine Brobeck and Kemper Donovan revisited these novels in publication order, ranking them according to pre-set criteria (plot, character, etc.). Tragically, Catherine Brobeck passed away at the end of 2021. Since then, Kemper has completed the podcast's ranking project, and now contents himself with celebrating the greatness of Christie by attempting to solve the ultimate mystery where she is concerned. Why Christie--and Christie alone--endures as powerfully as she does.

Tales from Godric’s Hollow is a Harry Potter podcast hosted by Marissa Dorado (A Ravenclaw who has read the books hundreds of times since childhood) and Joe Slionski (A Hufflepuff who has read the books only a handful of times since getting into it as an adult). TFGH originally started out as a book club style podcast introducing a Muggle to the Harry Potter series for the first time. After bringing original host "The Muggle" Josh Brown through his re-read of the series, The Platinum Duo, with their own unique perspectives, now plan to transfigure the show and tackle all things Wizarding World related including News, Side Stories, Fan Theories, Fanfic, Fantastic Beasts, new Wizarding World content and everything in between! Joe's creativity, humor and desire for controversy mixed with Marissa's knowledge and sass make this a show that any Witch, Wizard, Squib, Muggle or No-Maj will enjoy! So grab a butterbeer, and enjoy the banter!
