Come meet your hosts, Tiana and Elinor, as they talk about what brought them to Heated Rivalry, and encourage you to watch the show (if you haven’t already!). 

They get into what Heated Rivalry is about, both on and under the surface, and its connection with fandom right from its genesis. They talk about the show’s casting, backing, and storytelling, how important it is that the queerness of the story was never suppressed, queer representation in media, biphobia and bisexual erasure, and yes, even the actual plot of the show! 

So settle in for a juicy discussion where the sex is, in fact, the plot, and there is endless space for queer joy.
