Snark Squad Pod #040 – The Dragon Prince

Previously: We made it through the 4th A Song of Ice & Fire book, which we both loved and hated.

Sweeney: Long-time readers of the blog will have heard us mention the Spreadsheet O’ Dreams where we track all the cool shit we want to do one day. It should not surprise you that there are other spreadsheets for more practical purposes (except jk, a spreadsheet for your DREAMS is basically the most practical thing one can have here in the year 2018 where dreams are so hard to keep alive). And yet, for all our spreadsheet magic, sometimes stuff gets mixed up.

So it was that two weeks ago we were suddenly forced to re-think our recording plan for the weekend. We tossed around some ideas of things that were relatively short and easy to consume and then we took to Twitter and let all of you decide.

 

The race between The Dragon Prince and Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger was very close up until the very end, but The Dragon Prince won the day. (Don’t worry, we decided it was close enough to slot C&D into a later slot in our schedule, so we’ll get there soon enough!)

Naturally, when we decided to cover this cartoon created by some of the folks behind Avatar: The Last Airbender we had to call in our resident cartoon friend, Ceri Riley. In addition to being our cartoon friend, Ceri is a writer and editor for SciShow and Crash Course Film, editorial assistant for Monstress.

Nicole is the co-captain of Snark Squad and these days she spends most of her time editing podcasts. She spends too much time on Twitter and very occasionally vlogs and blogs. In her day job she's a producer, editor, director, and sometimes host of educational YouTube channels. She loves travel, maps, panda gifs, and semicolons. Writing biographies stresses her out; she crowd sourced this one years ago and has been using a version of it ever since. She would like to thank Twitter for their help.
