C&C: Christmas Special 2025

Sunday Dec 21, 2025

Sunday Dec 21, 2025

The most wonderful time of the year has arrived, and in true fashion, it’s a bit of a festive car crash! Grab a drink and join us for our Christmas Special, where the vibes are high and the inhibition is… well, ask Dan.
​This week on the pod:
​The Turkey Debate: Is it the king of the table or just a dry, overhyped bird? We’re deciding once and for all if the turkey stays or goes.
​Festive Traditions: From the heartwarming to the straight-up weird, we’re breaking down the rituals that make our Christmas.
​Dan’s Solo Session: Hear the hilarious play-by-play of Dan getting "accidentally" hammered while flying solo—proving that sometimes the best parties are the ones you didn’t mean to start.
​Laughter & Chaos: Expect non-stop giggles, holiday mishaps, and the kind of warmth that only comes from deep friendship (and a bit of booze).
​Whether you’re mid-roast or hiding in the pantry for five minutes of peace, come hang out with your favorite duo for some holiday cheer!

C&C: Quicksilver Part 1

Sunday Dec 07, 2025

Sunday Dec 07, 2025

We are tearing into the dark and deliciously twisty world of Callie Hart’s Quicksilver! In this first installment (Chapters 1–14), we cover the initial shock, the inevitable bad decisions, and the intense chemistry.
​As always, expect tons of tangents! We completely lose it when Dan finds the word "bobble" hilarious and just... repeats it. Then, we have to pause the dark romance because Sarah doesn't know what a gauntlet is (seriously, what are those things?!). Join us for all the giggles, the inappropriateness, and our very necessary deep dive into these first fourteen chapters of chaos!

C&C: ACOSF FINALE

Sunday Nov 16, 2025

Sunday Nov 16, 2025

We're slamming the book shut on A Court of Silver Flames! We track Nesta from the terrifying start of the Blood Rite right through to the explosive ending. Naturally, we get distracted: saving Sarah from a massive spider (heroic, honestly), listening to Dan forget how to speak (it was rough), and dealing with Poppy the Bichon being absolutely crazy! Tune in for the final chaos, the powerful moments, and our inevitable, ridiculous tangents. 🔥

C&C: ACOSF Part 6

Wednesday Nov 12, 2025

Wednesday Nov 12, 2025

We’re hitting A Court of Silver Flames! It starts innocent enough: Nesta taking dance classes with Mor. Queue the giggles, tangents, and us literally spilling the wine (it was a mess). But things go from sexy samba to straight-up snatching when Nesta gets kidnapped in her sleep! Grab a glass and join the chaos! 🔥

C&C: ACOSF PART 5

Sunday Nov 02, 2025

Sunday Nov 02, 2025

From Nesta pointing rudely at Tamlin (relatable) to her epic moment plucking the Harp with Cassian, we cover all the emotional damage, the major plot points, and the spicy details.
​Warning: This episode is fueled by wine and tangents! Prepare for a good giggle and lots of chaotic detours.

C&C: ACOSF PART 4

Sunday Oct 26, 2025

Sunday Oct 26, 2025

This week we descend into the Hewn City (and honestly, the trauma) as the torture of the Autumn Court guards sets the tone. From there, we spiral gloriously into politics, power, and that little bombshell — Rhys being asked to become High King. Along the way, we discover yet another of Sarah’s surprising talents, and Dan says more sex words than anyone really asked for. Chaos, cackles, and cabernet — just another day in A Court of Silver Flames

C&C: ACOSF PART 3

Saturday Oct 18, 2025

Saturday Oct 18, 2025

We’re back with Nesta as the Valkyrie training truly begins — Emerie’s proving herself, Gwyn’s shining, and we’re living for the sisterhood energy. But then comes that moment at the lake… Nesta rising like the absolute goddess she is, and we were screaming.
Meanwhile, Sarah has no idea what a siren actually is (still), and Dan goes off on one of her signature Rhysand rants. It’s emotional, unhinged, and full of wine — basically, classic Cauldrons & Cabernet. 🍷✨

C&C: ACOSF PART 2

Sunday Oct 12, 2025

Sunday Oct 12, 2025

This week, we’re diving back into A Court of Silver Flames, where Nesta’s finally finding her rhythm — helping Gwyn in the library, embracing the books, and (for once) not picking a fight. We loved watching her growth, and with Emerie joining the Valkyrie training, the girl gang energy is immaculate.
Obviously, we couldn’t stay serious for long… Sarah nearly became a pilot (?!), and Dan once accidentally got a massage from someone with very different qualifications. It’s all heart, chaos, and cabernet — as always. 🍷✨

Saturday Oct 04, 2025

This week we’re back in A Court of Silver Flames, ending with Cassian and Nesta’s fiery training sessions at the House of Wind. 💪✨
Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without celebrating Sarah’s birthday — with cabernet, chaos, and some very questionable character toasts. 🎉🍷
Whether you’re new here or a long-time fae fan, grab a glass and join the fun! 🪄

C&C: Behind the Mic

Sunday Sep 28, 2025

Sunday Sep 28, 2025

Real life, funny truths, and a game of Never Have I Ever. This episode feels like sitting down with us over a glass of wine – chatting about work, life, and the little moments that make us laugh until we cry.
