Artwork for Be The Serpent

A podcast by three red-headed fantasy authors talking about everything from academic mythology to dick jokes (and sometimes, both at once), as well as the role of fanfiction as an integral yet oft-overlooked part of the literary conversation and in the broader cultural context. It is, obviously, a podcast of extremely deep literary merit.

  • Absolutely Amazing

    I’ve listened to every episode of Be The Serpent and can happily say that it is a delight from start to finish!! 😊🎉

    Alex, Macey and Freya are wonderful hosts as your Serpents, bringing their energy and endless book recommendations to each episode, so be warned your To Be Read pile will quickly become a volcano as Macey says.

  • New favorite!

    If you love Overdue or The Worst Best Sellers you will love this podcast. It’s my new binge and it’s giving me so much to think about and new things to read. It’s also very comforting. I love it.

Finding this podcast was one of my (very) few sources of true joy in 2020, and made a measurable difference in my ability to survive it.

    As a fan and—extremely amateur hobbyist—writer of fantasy their discussions are constantly illuminatin... more
