The Passions Project Podcast

Fantasy author and weightlifter Caitlin Swanson shares not one but two passions that have shaped her life. We cover the endless variety of fantasy worlds, favorite tropes and themes, media analysis as an artist, the ways real life can bleed into art, how fervor for hobbies can unexpectedly shift your career goals, creating new stories through practice and scraps of unfinished scenes, developing your own unique voice from the authors that inspire you, using exercise as therapy, the importance of exercising correctly and safely, and the necessity of finding the right communities that share your passions.This episode may contain SPOILERS for the following media: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Cruel Prince, Game of Thrones/A Song of Fire and Ice, The Menu, My Hero Academia, Once Upon a Time, Shadow and Bone, Six of Crows, Underworld, YouDISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded in 2022, and the opinions and views regarding certain authors we discuss do not reflect the current views of the podcast or its guests.MORE FROM CAITLIN▹ "The Shadow Sector: Act One," available on Amazon▹ Patreon: patreon.com/authorc_a_swan▹ Instagram: @caits.book.nook▹ TikTok: @authorc.a.swanMORE FROM THE PASSIONS PROJECT PODCAST▹ Instagram: @passionsprojectpodHosted by Emilio AcostaCover artwork by Kodi CazesEpisode descriptions by Erin Leigh AcostaTheme music “Wholesome” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).
