Episode 71: Shenangineers to the Rescue

In this episode we discuss a story Kat is working on currently titled Driven By Desire. It’s an Edwardian romance featuring cars.

Content warnings for strong language, discussions of imposter syndrome, discussions of risque romance plots, Kat’s sad lack of science knowledge (despite writing a story about a scientist), and overuse of the word “shenanigan”
