Season 2 has come to an end, and we're wrapping things up the best way we know how: with one final fan cast, plenty of bookish discussion, and a heartfelt thank you to the listeners who made this season so special.

This week on FanCastic: The Fan Casting Podcast, Loretta and Emyli look back on some of their favorite moments from Season 2, revisit standout fan casts, share the books that completely took over their lives, and squeeze in a little New York Knicks appreciation with a special "Think Fast" fan cast.

Then it's time for the main event: our Season 2 finale fan cast for Heat of the Everflame by Penn Cole. As we continue our journey through the Kindred's Curse Saga, we're casting some of the characters we hope play an even bigger role in Burn of the Everflame. Along the way, we discovered just how in sync we've become as co-hosts when we landed not one, but TWO identical casting picks.

As we close out our second season, we want to thank every single listener who has joined us for this adventure. Whether you've been with us since Episode 1 or just recently discovered FanCastic, thank you for every stream, download, review, comment, and share. Reaching 30 episodes this season has been an incredible milestone, and we're so grateful to have built this community of readers, dream casters, and fandom enthusiasts alongside you.

While we're on summer break, you can keep up with our current reads, bookish adventures, convention coverage, and behind-the-scenes shenanigans on Instagram. You can also find us this summer at Forbidden Love in Nashville and Books Gowns & Crowns in San Diego before we return this fall for Season 3.

Be sure to follow FanCastic wherever you listen to podcasts, leave a rating and review, and connect with us on social media so you don't miss any updates while we're away.

We'll see you this fall for Season 3. Until then, happy reading!
