Episode 33: The Story So Far

The perfect entry point for the podcast ⭐️

Welcome to the Pub Dates newsletter! We’re so glad you’re here.

This newsletter is released as a companion to each podcast episode, and we use it to share the visual elements of our discussion — from mood boards to design sketches, from photos to secret giveaways just for subscribers.

In episode thirty-three (which Amie definitely called episode thirty-five in the intro, whoops), we recapped season one! If you can’t instantly recall all thirty-one episodes of that season, or you’re a new listener who isn’t sure where to start, then we made this one just for you.

If you have a friend you’d love to introduce to Pub Dates, this is the episode you can use to do it!

We introduced Kate’s new covers…

And we also thought we’d share…

This guy! Meet Gatsby, Kate’s handsome foster dog, who might be worming his way into her heart for a little longer…

And in the spirit of recapping…

We thought we’d share some of the fun images from previous newsletters.

Here’s young Kate from an early newsletter. Really makes sense now you know her, doesn’t it? (Also hi, Amie’s clearly editing this newsletter!)

Amie in New York with our agents Tracey and Josh - you can hear from them both in our Call My Agent! episode.

Backstage: Kate joining Amie in her campervan for a day’s work.

A peek at a section of Kate’s proposal for Nightbirds.

A peek at Amie’s proposal for The Isles of the Gods.

Research! Your hosts visit a tall ship and take lots of notes.

With our writers’ group at the launch of Nightbirds!

Vidish, who narrates Keegan in Isles — you can hear from all our narrators in our audiobook episodes.

If you want to know what this guy is about, you need to listen to the Fun and Games episode.

Amie’s early attempt at drawing a map for Isles for her map artist.

Kate’s early attempt at briefing her map artist.

And that’s it for this issue!

We’ve had so much fun taking a stroll back through all the things we’ve talked about so far — and we’re really looking forward to everything we have to come in season two! We’ll see you soon for our first episode in March, and until then, happy reading!
