Interview with author and vidder Switch842
Monday Sep 07, 2020
Monday Sep 07, 2020
Switch842 is one of the best and most prolific vidders (a creator of fanvids) in the Cobra Kai fandom, and is also a familiar presence in the Cobra Kai Kompanion community. Kerri has written several one-shot and short pieces of fanfiction centering on the friendship and relationship between Daniel and Johnny, which are discussed in this episode. The gals also talk extensively about her vidding experience, and dig into how she chooses to tell a visual story vs. a visual showcase, or in many cases a little bit of both.
Other topics-- Johnny's potential as a priest! (Answer-- yes please). Michael "Rosey" Rosenbaum's podcast "Inside of You", the absurdity of Smallville plots and character ages-- and "is Supernatural really still on??"

Workshop - ”The Bert Series” by suecsit
Saturday Aug 15, 2020
Saturday Aug 15, 2020
Sara welcomes veteran writer suecsit to the show to discuss her 2018 work, "The Bert Series," serialized into 14 individual stories, and one of the first ever in the Cobra Kai fandom to fully explore the 'LawRusso' pairing. The series is incredibly well written, vivid in both voice and dialogue, the prose is lovely, and delves into the themes of choice, control, and connection. It's a truly beautiful work.
Sara and suecsit also discuss the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on her writing; suecsit's recent love affair with the Beatles, Paul McCartney, Queen, and other music of the 1970s; and her recent work featuring the characters of Demetri and Eli/Hawk.
