AMC'S Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Episode 1 Recap: Baby Now We've Got Bad Blood
Welcome back savory inferiors!! The Vampire Insiders are coming in hot to celebrate the long-awaited premiere of Season 2 of Interview with the Vampire. In today’s episode Joann and Kristina dive deep into what’s going on with our Wayfaring duo Louis and Claudia as, five years on from where we left them at the end of last season, they undertake a chaotic pilgrimage through war-torn Eastern Europe looking for other vampires. Our structure remains the same as last season but we’ve enhanced the “standout” segment and have added a new segment that tracks the progress of “Dreamstat” the Lestat projection who Louis carries with him, to Claudia’s consternation. Below are some links to follow on Twitter (you may call it X) that we reference in the episode. Thanks for coming to listen to us each week and welcome to those of you who are new to the series and new to the podcast.

In this episode, the remaining insiders are talking about Marc, what to expect for future episodes, and finally the thing that has Twitter on fire: The Jones Cut (also called the London Cut).

AMC's Immortal Universe Hiatus Content: Authorial Intent Part 2 with @Inkyblotposts
The Vampire Insiders are speaking with IWTV fan @inkyblotposts (Twitter and Tumbler) aka Jo in the second part of our authorial intent episode. With her background in literature we thought a chat about authorial intent and how that plays out in the multiple levels of original text and adapted screenplay was in order, and we weren't disappointed. We have about 2 hours of material to share so this is the first of a two-part episode. If you enjoy us and would like to learn more about us, please follow us on twitter @marceatspeach, @kristinagenx and @vampire_insider. We love interacting with listeners.

AMC's Immortal Universe Hiatus Content: Marketing and Fandom
The Vampire Insiders are discussing an interview that Kim Granito gave to a podcast called the Current (see link below). We thought it would be a good opportunity to talk a little about how AMC goes about marketing IPs with dedicated fandoms, and to dive into the subject of a new Immortal Universe property "Talamasca", how the Talamasca has already been portrayed in the witches, and where Night Island might fit into the whole picture.
