In this episode, we explore Hera, a fierce and empowering retelling of the Queen of the Gods. Far from the jealous wife trope, this reimagining gives Hera the agency, voice, and power she deserves. We’ll unpack the novel’s feminist themes, discuss how it reframes Greek mythology, and dive into why Hera’s story resonates so strongly today. If you love mythological retellings with bite, fury, and grace—this one’s for you.

Today on the podcast, we’re diving into Deadstream—a queer paranormal novel that mixes psychological horror with a haunting critique of social media culture. With themes of PTSD, agoraphobia, and internet addiction, it’s a bold concept—but one I found hard to fully connect with. Let’s unpack why.
