Haven’t posted about it yet but I really enjoyed the Jennifer Aspen episode of ATWYRM, I think it’s great that hey have all kinds of guests on and I personally really enjoyed Kendra’s character so it was great to hear Jennifer be just as hilarious. It’s a different perspective that recurring guest stars like she would have and the pod is the perfect opportunity to hear that.
It also inspired me to listen to the Jessalyn Gilsig episode of Showmance (and the Becca Tobin one, while I was there) and it’s interesting to hear the difference between the two podcasts, so far. And I mean literally hear as the audio quality and just the technical aspects are better on Showmance. So far it just feels like a better produced pod and I’m hoping ATWYRM can improve as well, both in those technical aspects and the editing. Because I still think the slower pace of the new pod is mostly down to editing; if someone were to edit out those pauses and maybe when Kevin and Jenna get more into it, it’d be a more dynamic listen.
Ah well, I’m down for this schedule of recaps on Mondays and guest episodes on Thursdays. I know many would roll their eyes at guests like Kendra’s actress because they approach the whole pod with a bitter taste in their mouths and cynically say that they couldn’t get some “more important” on the pod. Personally, I’m glad for the diverse range of guests that the three so far have proven. Getting to talk to everybody from the likes of Ryan through Chris to Jennifer is the way it should be. I’m hoping the recap episodes will improve as well in terms of being more substantial and just adding more to the conversation. Season 1 isn’t the juiciest in that sense, both because they’ve already covered it once and because those were “the good old days” for the cast before the insanity of the later seasons.

If a canon doesn't use the canon fc (and they are not on the banned list ofc), can someone else bring in a family member of that canon with the canon's original fc not in use?
Hey there, anon! Honestly, so long as you're still keeping them in the canon fc's original family like you said (aka using Chord Overstreet only as an Evans, Becca Tobin only as a Wilde, Jacob Artist only as a Puckerman, etc) that's fine with us!
EDIT TO ADD #1: To clarify, this would also only be for playing a sibling in that family. For example, if someone was playing Sam Evans using a FC that is not Chord Overstreet, we would only accept Chord as a FC for another Evans sibling.
EDIT TO ADD #2: Also, to add/clarify - this would mean only as a full sibling in that family as well, not an adopted or half-sibling. We also want to be considerate to our players and another addition to this will be that it would be on a case by case basis. Ultimately it would be up to the member of the group using the alternate FC for the canon character as to whether or not they're okay with someone else applying to use the canon FC then as a sibling in that family. We will also be adding this note to our rules page.
