About This Podcast
Welcome to FanCastic, the fan casting podcast where fantasy readers turn fandom into conversation.
FanCastic is a fantasy and romantasy podcast co-hosted by Loretta Anne Miller, a TV industry professional and audiobook narrator, and Emyli Gudmundson, a theatre arts marketing director. Together, they bring insider entertainment knowledge and passionate fandom energy to conversations about the books readers can’t stop talking about.
Each week, FanCastic dives into the worlds of romantasy, fantasy books, and BookTok favorites covering everything from deep-dive discussions and chaotic fan theories to dream casting the characters we’d love to see in film and television adaptations.
Expect episodes covering beloved authors like Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, Rachel Gillig, and Raven Kennedy and their popular series fandoms like Fourth Wing, A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Plated Prisoner and the Zodiac Academy.
Weekly episodes feature:
- Fantasy and romantasy book discussions
- Dream casting for book-to-screen adaptations
- BookTok and fandom hot takes & recs
- Convention stories and reader community moments
🎧 New episodes drop every Sunday, with visual podcast episodes available on YouTube so you can watch the conversation as well as listen.
Whether you’re a longtime fantasy reader or just discovering romantasy, FanCastic is your weekly dose of magical chaos, fandom debates, and bookish fun.
Follow FanCastic on all platforms for conversations about fantasy books, fandom culture, and the adaptations we’re dreaming of next.
