Why the “Ravin’ Girls”?
We kicked around a few different names for the podcast (Nievita took one of them for her personal Tumblr) and ultimately this is the one that made us smile the most. Of course, it’s a play on The Raven Boys, and we (or at least Nievita) do a lot of raving!
What We’re About
We discuss the Raven Cycle as a cycle: analyzing the connections and foreshadowing running throughout the series, tracking the deep character arcs, and researching the themes, history, and mythology of the Raven Cycle with our Deep Dives. We create loving but critical analysis of Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle books, taking a few chapters at a time and delving into the origins, mythology, and fandom that surrounds TRC. Episodes will be posted twice monthly, with each episode focusing on approximately 3-5 chapters of material.
What We've Achieved
Two years, two books, two seasons, including over half a dozen Special Episodes covering Maggie Stiefvater’s other works.
Over 50,000 downloads from every continent in the world (except Antarctica. Antarctica isn’t even on our map. Maybe we do have downloads in Antarctica.)
Hit #30 on the United States Arts&Literature iTunes charts.
And hit #15 in Malaysia!
Hosts have been dubbed, “The Queens of Analysis and Minutia”
Somehow managed to talk about rocks with holes in the middle for 15+ minutes and make it fun!
