In October 2015, we put out the very first episode of the Plaidcast, covering the Pilot of Supernatural.  We showed up with enthusiasm, trepidation, a background in literary criticism, a single page of notes, and zero recording experience.  We worked hard to keep our episodes concise, because who wants to listen to English teachers ramble for over 70 minutes? 10 years and 230 podcast episodes later, much like the later seasons of the show, all restraints have been abandoned! :)  To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we decided to rewatch the episode that started it all, with a new appreciation for Sam's bangs, shadowy public libraries, and Eric Kripke at the helm.

After following Sheila's writing on Supernatural, film, and television for a decade, we were honored and elated to talk with her about her backwards rewatch of the show, prioritizing character over plot, masculinity in Supernatural, the irresistible but deadly drift towards bureaucracy, good things coming in season 11, and of course the phenom that is Jensen Ackles. You can read The Sheila Variations here. You can read "Breaking Down the Schtick" here. You can pre-order the Art and Making of Frankenstein here. We would love to hear from you!

"Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky tells us that long before phones, people were still murdering and still feeling the guilt.  You can do it in a 19th century apartment in Russia.  The phones are not the problem.  Human nature is."
