Into the Fold: A Grishaverse Podcast

Thanks to all who came to see us live at LeakyCon this year! We got to do a panel all about the Grishaverse for beginners! We had a blast and know you are going to love this recording! On this live panel we broke down the Grishaverse map, chatted about favorite characters, took questions from the audience, and shoutout some of our fandom friends along the way! Thanks to our friends at Spinners Cou...

Enjoy our discussion of this week’s chapters, because the next episode we have coming out will be recorded LIVE AT LEAKYCON! Congrats to the S&B Special Effects team on their Emmy nomination! Tante Heleen is the WORST (it’s a fact) You can end a chapter on a twist, but not on a cliffhanger Knives are better than guns  Fun Segment: Sell it to Me!

Apologies for the delay (and the audio feedback in our fun segment), but we are REALLY getting into some juicy moments from Six of Crows as we discuss chapters 7-9. Look forward to our first LIVE EPISODE recording at LeakyCon Chicago later this summer! Matthias is fueled by revenge, a misplaced sense of justice, and repression What’s so hard to understand about this: Kaz has a good reason for EVER...

Happy Pride Month! This week, we are discussing chapters 5 and 6 of Six of Crows. We’re breaking into prison, so that we can break into prison later, so we can break into even more prison even later. Hope you like fan claps, because there’s a lot of them.  Kaz and Nina: the light side and the dark side of determination.  Is the Barrel SUPPOSED to be this tacky?  It’s okay to be a sex worker, but t...

This week we have a guest spot we did with the amazing Book and Bottle Podcast: Callisa and Holly are joined by Julianna and Geoff in this review episode of Ninth House and Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo. They discuss the heavy triggers within the book, the descent into Hell, and of course glowstick dick energy. Ninth House and Hell Bent follow the main character, Alex Stern, as she gets a new chance...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to this episode where Kaz gets a mission! Geoff has a BIG surprise for Julianna Kaz vs. Jan Van Eck: who’s the real bad guy? Jurda parem was never a good idea Kaz is super hardcore, but there’s a little gooey marshmallow center in there somewhere Anticipation can be oh so satisfying Fun segment: 20 Questions! Question of the week: Who woul...

Time for a bonus crossover episode! It's a very special week here at Into the Fold as we're covering the Academy Award-winning film, A Series of Unfortunate Events! But we couldn't tackle this cinematic titan alone, so we've been invited to team up with the incredibly brilliant and dimal hosts of Not So Young Adults Pod!!! We genuinely had an amazing time making this episode and I&...

We’ve been promising for a while now that we were going to start discussing Six of Crows, and now it’s finally happening! We’ve recorded SO many shows over the past two weeks, and we’re still not done The Grisha Talley actually has an update! Joost: a lessons in why putting on an act to impress someone you like never works Money is the root of all evil, and the rich guys are the real villains of t...

We aren’t just wrapping up Ruin & Rising, we’re wrapping up the whole Shadow & Bone trilogy! And we’re doing it in a way that is very “us”: with games and fun segments! 60-second summaries! Can we get it done?? Best Bits Tournament! We finally decide which bit is the best bit of ITF! Shadow & Bone Yearbook: see who made the list. The Maddest Lib We’ve Ever Done: what’s so mad about it?...

We’ve been threatening to reach the end of the Shadow & Bone trilogy for a long time, and now we finally have! Stay excited! Season 2 of Shadow & Bone on Netflix will be here before you know it We are going “Into the Fold” for the last time (don’t worry, the show isn’t ending) Julianna isn’t familiar with Avatar: the Last Airbender. Trust us, it’s gonna come up. It’s okay to be sad about t...

Getting close to the end of Ruin & Rising (no really, we mean it) and there’s NO shortage of moments to talk about: Read Hell Bent, and send us your reviews! Huge thanks to Kalyn for bringing back some incredible notes from the Q&A with Leigh Bardugo Geoff might need a hug, because a certain character got dead Are they in over their heads, or can they win using the power of real science? Don’t wor...

Everybody’s heard that the (fire)bird is the word… but is it, though? Alina and the crew are splitting in two and going off on missions in chapters 13 and 14 of Ruin and Rising! We are no longer censoring our curse words! You have been warned ;-) All the different types of men (well, at least 3) Harshaw & Kaz would be best buds, not that Kaz would admit it. Turns out the third amplifier was wi...

See you on the other side Have a safe and happy holiday! Next time: chapters 14 and 15! CONTACT US:  You can listen to us everywhe...

Have you ever thought to yourself “Well… what do we do now?” In this week’s episode, our heroes find themselves wondering just that! We are hell bent on getting our hands on Hell Bent! The Darkling is still the Darkling… but not quite as much “Darkling” as he was when we started out  The only thing more impressive than a dramatic entrance is a dramatic EXIT Who’s in charge here? No, really… w...

We’re discussing chapters 8-10 of Ruin and Rising this week. No, really! We’re actually doing it. We got a breakdown of the Grishaverse panel at NYCC thanks to Kelly! Julianna got something cool in the mail Alina gets some very important background info on three different people The Darkling makes a shirtless Skype call… but why, though? It’s no wonder Baghra turned out the way she did. Fun segmen...

Geoff and Julianna have been off on their own amazing adventures in the past few weeks, much like the Darkling in Leigh Bardugo’s latest release. So, we’re taking some time to talk about each of them: NYCC, Kitt Young’s new Netflix movie, and Leigh Bardugo gives life to a fellow author’s iconic character Demon in the Wood (singular) is a must have! Are there any actual heroes or villains in this s...

This week Geoff and Julianna are jet-setting so we have a special episode from the other Juliana for you! Enjoy! Summary: “Be yourself because everyone else is already taken” is a quote from Oscar Wilde that Geoff lives by. Geoff is on the podcast today to talk all things on the importance of saying yes to new opportunities that might scare you, why it’s important to be yourself and to not care wh...

There are a lot of highs and lows (no really, they literally go up super high after being underground) in chapters 6 and 7: It’s not a question of “are we going to get Hell Bent?” It’s a question of “which version do we pre-order?” THE TEASER FOR SHADOW & BONE: SEASON 2 IS OUT! The return of characters both great and horrible! Baghra and Nikolai are here, but so is the King of Ravka Genya fina...

We are full of funny voices and Kate Bush references in this week’s episode, where we discuss chapters 4 and 5 of Ruin and Rising (NOT Seige and Storm) Leigh is working on some exciting stuff and we are EXCITED Our first five-star review since February is something to be grateful for! The crew make their way through the tunnels and back to the surface, and lots of fun pairings are discussed along...

There’s some crafting (and ambulances) in the background of this episode, so clearly good AND bad things were happening in the world while we were recording. Don’t worry, our usual level of nonsense is still there! If anybody manages to attend the Grisha Gala in October, PLEASE send us details just in case they don’t stream it online Can we get out of this cathedral already? Not without a spectacl...

It’s time to start Ruin and Rising! After two months of doing other things, it’s nice to get back to our chapter discussions. Hope you like our new logo (don’t worry, it’s still us) Have fun and stay safe if you’re going to NYCC to meet Leigh and the cast of Shadow and Bone The Apparat is ruining everything and he’s trying to make you thank him for it Alina still has friends, but how are they goin...

For this bonus episode, we're switching it up a little!
