The Bright Sessions Recommends! THE LAST CITY

In the climate-ravaged year of 2072, the city of Pura stands as a miraculous green haven.

Demetria Lopez head’s up Pura's public relations, tirelessly promoting the city's idyllic image. But when she stumbles upon a dark secret that if exposed, would be the downfall of Pura's existence - she must decide who... and what... she is willing to protect.

DASHBOARD DIARIES - a brand new show all about Tumblr!

Twice a month, join longtime Tumblr user Lauren Shippen and longtime user-slash-Tumblr-employee Cherokee McAnelly as they dive deep into our favorite fandom site. We talk trending topics, share our new ships, and forecast upcoming fandoms. If you’ve ever gone feral over a fic or bonkers about one of your blorbos, this podcast is for you! And remember: the password to the secret clubhouse is “shoelaces”. This podcast is not produced by, nor officially affiliated with Tumblr in any way, beyond the fact that we told them about it and they said "rad!" and high fived us before skating away on their wheelies. We love you, Tumblr.

MAXINE MILES - New Show from Lauren Shippen!

I'm so excited to announce a brand new show: Maxine Miles, a new mystery show that involves you, the listener. It's the start of a new school year in small-town New Hampshire and Maxine Miles is ready to start off high school right. But when a fellow student goes missing, Max decides to solve the disappearance herself. And YOU will help her.  During episode 9, the audience will be presented with three possibilities for what happened to Riley. When Episode 10 is released, listeners will be able to choose between three endings - A, B, or C. Each choice has its consequences, some of which are dire. And whichever ending is most popular among the listeners as a whole becomes the official ending for Season 1...meaning all the consequences from that ending will carry over into Season 2.  I've had the immense privilege over the past several years to write on a lot of fantastic shows but this is my first full 100% Lauren Shippen original since The Bright Sessions and I'm so excited for you to hear it. Episode 1 is out now wherever you get your podcasts! You can find more information at maxinemiles.com
