Season 3: Episode 18 - Tough Like Auren

Hello fellow nerds and welcome to episode 18 of season 3! This week, we begin our read of "Gold" by Raven Kennedy with chapters 1-16. Join us as we chat about the origin of ice queen lore (before Let It Go was a thing), how different fantasy authors have humans traveling to fae lands, and our predictions on when Slade and Auren might reunite. Visit ournerdiestthing.com for Our Nerdiest Cocktail, named “Aurous Spritz”, which is themed after the intertwining of gold and rot.
