\"Mate<\/a><\/p>\n

Hullo, chums! After we…liked (we’re pretty sure) reading Bride<\/em> last year, we decided to check out the sequel, Mate<\/em>\u00a0by Ali Hazelwood.<\/a> This time we were joined by Ariel Slamet Ries (they\/them)<\/a>, award-winning cartoonist and author of books including their most recent, Strange Bedfellows<\/a><\/em>. Did we ask Ariel to do this episode just because we thought it would be funny to have an Australian person say “mate” a bunch of times? No! Well, not only<\/em> because of that. Listen to this episode while making pancakes for your werewolf pack.<\/p>\n
