About the Podcast

Welcome to 'The Fantasy Fan and the First Timer,' the ultimate podcast destination where we bridge the gap between die-hard fantasy enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre. Each week, we dive deep into beloved fantasy novels, exploring intricate plots, complex characters, and the magical worlds they inhabit. From lively discussions to insightful debates, our podcast aims to enlighten and entertain listeners of all backgrounds.

Hosted by Laly and Julls, best friends and former bookstore colleagues who bonded over a common enemy, they couldn't be more different. Julls is an avid reader of all things Mystery and YA while Laly has always been drawn to the fantasy and romance genre. The journey to this podcast began when Laly insisted Julls read Harry Potter, then Percy Jackson, Fourth Wing and now A Court of Thorns and Roses. Julls has officially been won to the Fantasy Side and so "The Fantasy Fan and the First Timer" was born. We will follow as Julls discovers new fantasy books and Laly tells her "I told you so" over and over.
