Loon Call

Welcome back to craft cottage! We've missed you around these parts! Grab a chair, grab an ice-cold ginger ale, grab something off the in-room menu and get comfortable. Today, we're going to the All-Star Game!By popular demand, we break down the All-Star Game - both on page and on screen - and talk about what a beautiful bookend if is to the tuna melt. We talk about craft and narrative, dutch ovens, and where we think Brady Tkachuk lives in the off-season.

ENJOY!

This week, Adriana Herrera - USA today bestselling author, Audie award winner, and a prolific Heated Rivalry fan - joins us to discuss just what makes this series and show so damn good. From the importance of romance as a cultural tentpole, to the episodes and scenes that destroyed her, to the absolute joy of getting to spend a dinner with Rachel, Hudson, Jacob and Brendan - we talk about it all.

This week, we are joined by the real heroes of Heated Rivalry (at least, if you ask Ada) - Veroniqué Barbe and Arthur Tarnowski aka the editors! Veronique and Arthur are two incredibly decorated Canadian-based editors, with credits like Sharp Objects and Big Little Lies (Veroniqué) and The Hummingbird Project and The Trotsky (Arthur) among many others. They are the reason we have the now-Pavlovian lighter click scene to kick off the show. They are the reason we are obsessed with the cuts and the audio and the feeling. They are the final frontier before the vision makes it to our TV screens.
So come along and listen to Ada geek out for an hour! Plus...get some behind the scenes insights into the creative process.

This week, Ruby and Ada talk with one of the scene stealers from Heated Rivalry - Harrison Browne. You may know him as the man who just wanted to get room service but was forced to "TELL PEOPLE" leading up to the famous club scene in episode 4. But Harrison is so much more than just Connors. In this episode, we talk all things Heated Rivalry, acting/directing, his incredible short film "Pink Light", and book he wrote that's become necessary reading in our eyes - "Let Us Play: Winning the Battle for Gender Diverse Athletes."

This is the episode you've all (none) have. been asking for (ok maybe one or two people asked). Ruby and Ada tackle the question that has plagued historians for centuries, baffled scientists for decades, and confused literary scholars since last December. Yes, we are tackling the most important question to answer: Does Scott Hunter Know About Shane and Ilya?
In true Loon Call fashion, we don't do anything half-baked...so we made this into a good old fashioned debate. We have statements (opening AND closing), we have points (and counterpoints), we have a rivalry (that's probably best described as tepid). Two enter the debate ring....only one may leave.
