[DD] Parasocial Nipple Gryphons

DD 12.8

Ursula has returned from New York ComicCon, and together she and Mur take on parasocial nipple gryphons, book tours, the launch of Astarion, and how parasocial relationships can be handled well or clumsily.

Then we cover ARCs and their purpose. ARCs stand for “Advanced Reader’s Copy” by the way.

We also discuss some of the less memorable parts of The Neverending Story. Hence the episode name.

We wish for you to have an appropriate encounter with your heroes/fans.

Mur and Ursula are fully supportive of LGBTQ+ folks, believe that Black Lives Matter, and trans rights are human rights, despite which direction the political winds blow.
And “AI” or large language models is wretched and we hate it so very much.
