Author's Aside with Brittany Gossin

Hey there FanCastic listeners and watchers! Introducing our first episode of a series of special episodes we are calling; Author's Aside. Every season we will feature a favorite author chosen to sit down with us to converse about their process, inspirations, background, and fun facts! Why "Author's Aside", you ask? Well, as you know, FanCastic is a Fantasy/Fiction podcast with an entertainment industry twist. In the biz, when a character onstage or onscreen quickly addresses the audience, it's known as an aside. It is a dramatic device for actors and a literary device for writers, asides appear across mediums to give viewers, listeners, and readers (that's you!) a unique narrative perspective. Essentially, it's a break from the scene's action where the character reveals thoughts, reactions, or quips directly to the audience. Enjoy the break in our regular fan cast action and hang out with myself & Brittany Gossin! --- More about Brittany: Brittany is a seasoned wordsmith, high school English teacher, and adjunct professor, whose passion lies in crafting fantastical tales.
