The Shipping (Pod)CastSpecial 04 - Boys Love RecommendationsAs a last hurrah, I hope you enjoy this Patreon special from August 2020, in which I ramble about my favourite BL shows. You can find a continually updated recs list here.
Thanks for sailing with me, my dear sailors! Please stay safe, stay healthy, let fandom help you stay sane - and remember: You are the captain of your ship.
2021-01-101h 20The Shipping (Pod)CastSpot x Racetrack (Newsies) with SavannahA multifandom podcast for the shipper in you. Happy new year! I'm getting into it more at the end of the episode, but this will be the last interview, at least for the foreseeable future. So it’s great that we’re wrapping with a fun chat with the lovely Savannah about Spot and Race from the musical Newsies. Thanks for sticking with me, sailors!

This episode brings out the Lord of the Rings nerd in me and I had a wonderful time waxing rhapsodic with Shania not only about Arwen and Aragorn’s literally epic love story but also many other things we love about Tolkien’s enchanted world.

The Shipping (Pod)CastPeggy x Steve (Marvel) with GenA couple of days late, but here I am with another offering from the MCU – in another lengthy episode Gen and I talk about yet another Steve ship, because Steve apparently goes with everyone. ;) This one’s special, though, having the distinct honour of a) being canon and b) containing the amazing and wonderful Peggy Carter.

The Shipping (Pod)CastWinn Schott x Querl Dox/Brainiac 5 (Supergirl) with RachelSometimes we latch onto ships that might at first glance seem far-fetched, just because we feel that these two characters would somehow click and make a good couple. That’s what happened to Rachel with Winn and Brainy - and when they finally met in Supergirl canon, it turned out the chemistry was undeniable. :)

The Shipping (Pod)CastEdward x Winry (Full Metal Alchemist) with DerekA multi-fandom podcast for the shipper in you.
In many places, restrictions are being lifted, but we’re all still a long way from normal. So maybe you won’t mind that this week’s episode turned out a bit longer and ramblier than normal, because as it turns out, Derek pretty much discovered fandom while preparing to talk about the canon ship of Edward Elric and Winry Rockbell from Full Metal Alchemist. We had a blast chatting not just about EdWin but also many other shiny things. :)

The Shipping (Pod)CastBooth x Brennan (Bones) with AthenaI hope this episode finds you healthy and safe, wherever you are, whatever restrictions you might be living under.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll have found refuge in fandom. Personally, I also find the structures and guaranteed outcomes of mystery shows soothing, so today’s episode is pretty perfect, as Athena and I visit the crime procedural Bones, which ran from 2005 to 2017, and its ultimate ‘opposites attract’ ship.

We also talk some more general Star Wars (and Jar Jar Binks in particular), because it’s almost impossible not to have opinions in this fandom.

The Shipping (Pod)CastTang Yi x Shao Fei (HIStory3: The Trap) with EvelynThank you for sticking with me, sailors!
For this first episode after the hiatus Evelyn kindly came to my rescue - and we talked about a ship I enjoy very much as well. The Trap is part of the third season of the Taiwanese HIStory anthology series and our first foray into BL (Boys Love). This is an area I've fallen headfirst into recently, so we do get a bit side-tracked sometimes, but always come back to Tang Yi and Shao Fei.

And when I talked with Xander about Richie Tozier and Eddie Kaspbrak (aka Reddie), I learned much to my surprise that this fandom likes its ship mostly in one flavour: fluff!
