Daemons Discuss - Podcast: Bonus Edition! | Post-Con Recap - From a Daemon Perspective

The Con from the rear view.
Bonus Edition - Philly Busted

Description: Philly or bust? Nah! Philly's been busted! It's story time! An All Souls Con 2018 recap from a Daemon perspective . . .

SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read The All Souls Trilogy, including A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life, and snippits from The World of All Souls. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind!  😊  Let's do this. *Note - this podcast is labeled 'explicit'

1. Show notes:

For newcomers to the series:- We'll start with the basics: The books in discussion are A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night and The Book of Life.  Together they make The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness.
- Our Daemon Guides to the All Souls Trilogy are available for download: ADOW, SON, TBOL

Deb's newsletter - The Blast; subscribe on her website
- If you'd like a ready-reference from the author herself, be sure to download the All Souls Real-Time Reading companion (free e-book at online booksellers via Penguin and Headline books).
- Deborah Harkness usually conducts a real-time reading on her Facebook Page (starting in September), and shares her posts across social media. Check out her website for all of her social media links, and of course all that she has to offer her readers! Be sure to sign up for her newsletter while you are there!
- To see what's available on the web as far as the All Souls universe fandom, check our links page.

In this episode:
Another year, another All Souls Con! It's hard to outline this experience thoroughly so we recommend listening to the episode! πŸ˜‰

Save it for the Show: the Gallowglass redemption moment - according to Deb, he was unburdening his soul so he could be finally be free (she gave the example from the movie Love Actually)

We still don't like it, but we now understand what he was doing there. Scene from Love Actually
Huge thanks to the following:

Laura, Karen and the whole All Souls Con team: Thank you for the heart and soul you all put into this convention. You all outdo yourselves consistently!

All of the contributing voices featured in this episode (πŸ’—): Wendy, Laura, Shelli, Ginger, Lauren, Michelle, Aly, Judy, GeorgeAnn, Gail, NE Angela, Shannon, Alex, Rachel, Keisha, and last but never least, Jei!

  • Join the FB group Daemonic Discussers!
  • The word: 'Fucking Firedrake.' Make sure you answer question 2! 
  • * NOTE: Please keep in mind that this group is only a supplement to our podcast. We recommend that you join only if you truly enjoy the podcast and want to discuss things further. Listening just to gain entry will be a waste of our time, and frankly yours! The screening process has been intensified to keep membership intimate, and to try to keep out folks who don’t have the best intentions for the group and its dynamic. It's an imperfect process, but we are determined to keep it a healthy place for speculation and more detailed discussion for all members, including us. When we opened the group, we decided to require listener-only membership because podcasting is a very personal medium. People who listen tend to know how we are and think. Those who like what we have to say (and don't find us too abrasive/foul-mouthed/opinionated 😈), will most likely enjoy the group to its fullest, and utilize it as a sounding board with other like-minded members who have the ability to peacefully discuss divergent or opposing ideas. We don't have time to worry about mal-intent, because it breeds drama and discourse. If we're not comfortable, then the rest of the members won't be comfortable. None of this is negotiable. It's simply how it is. This is why the Facebook group is not public and we don't advertise it on Deb's website, social media, or other venues.

* Our episode titles are a loving tribute to the show "Friends" just 'cause we love Friends and - let's face it - it's easier! Here's how one of the show creators explains their reasoning:
Jeff Greenstein: "When Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time. We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"

Daemonic All Souls Giveaway for Virtual Attendees

We are offering a Diana-themed prize package!
Since All Souls Con will practically coincide with Diana Bishop's birthday this year (August 13th), we decided to make this package all about her.

All Souls Con virtual attendees, this is JUST FOR YOU (those who are attending in person, this is not for you! Items from Bohemienne Life, and the necklace design will be on sale at the event).  If you've not purchased your online streaming tickets, be sure to do that! allsoulscon.org/tickets

Since year one of ASC, this giveaway has been our earnest attempt to include fans that cannot attend the festivities at the Con! There is only ONE mandatory item, and that's providing the email you used to register to stream All Souls Con online.

Social media share and follow items are completely optional, but they will give you more chances to win. Twitter users can enter daily until giveaway end. You can do just the one mandatory option, or add a couple of other options, or do them all! It's completely up to you! This giveaway is open internationally. Don't forget to read the terms/conditions at the bottom of the page, and enter!


Up for grabs:
  • A Ma Lionne scent set (by Bohemienne Life); includes a body cream, scent roller, and a scented candle! Here is the description of the scent from Bohemienne Life: Ma Lionne - A blend amber honey, a floral heart of gillyflowers, geranium, chamomile, dried autumn leaves that merges with enchanting sandalwood, light musk and vanilla.
  • A large pendant necklace featuring the Hilliard miniature of Diana. Do you remember Mary and Henry's wedding gift(s) to Diana and Matthew? Well now you have a chance of winning your own miniature of Diana! 
Update! 22 August, 2018 - Congratulations, Jennifer!
