This is a bonus episode, so we remain on schedule to publish A Discovery of Witches - Season 1, Episode 3 Thursday evening for US/Canadian subscribers, and Friday morning world wide, as originally planned.
SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read All Souls universe books, including the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life), and Time's Convert + snippits from The World of All Souls. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind! Please be advised, we approach the television series (A Discovery of Witches) the same way as episodes are released in the US/Canada. 😊 Let's do this. *Note - this podcast is labeled 'explicit'

In this episode:
- The airport bookstore story: The novels were sparked by an odd vacation moment. Not too many years after the success of Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight,” Harkness, surveying the racks of paperbacks at an airport bookstore, was struck by the fact that so many of the books “suggested vampires, daemons, witches, fairies, werewolves and all manner of supernatural creatures were living among us,” she recalls. “I was intrigued, because I was convinced that if there really were such creatures, I would know a few of them. Where were they hiding? What did they do for a living? How did they date? My answers to these questions became the All Souls trilogy.” ~ NYT, Sep 2018 - by Tina Jordan
- We talk red carpet at the National Television Awards
- Deb's retrospectively written bucket list

* 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?"
