POP DETOUR: 8-Bit Covers, Spicy Romantasy Novels & The Bonus Scene w/ Daryl Banner | PremoDonnas EP 9

Mishka interviews USA Today top author and musician Daryl Banner, exploring his creative journey from childhood gaming to a successful career in music and writing. Daryl discusses his 8-bit music covers, especially of Lady Gaga, and the role of storytelling in both music and video games. He reflects on confidence, artistic recognition, and fan interactions. The conversation shifts to his writing—particularly male-male romance—where he addresses genre misconceptions, character development, and how his identity as a gay man shapes his stories. Daryl also shares insights on creating safe, hopeful narratives, managing reader boundaries, and offers advice for aspiring writers.
