Buckle up, sports fans!
This week, Magda and Lindsay battle head-to-head, fighting it out to win best, most incredible, most powerful…manager of a totally fictional literary team of characters, tropes, and genres.
Listen in as they draft their top 3 picks for female main character, male main character, sidekick, theme/trope/genre, and audiobook. Each day, they’ll post their matchups, and the audience will vote on their favorites. There’s a lot on the line (sort of), and they’ll leave it all out on the field/page.
