Snowflake Challenge 2026 #4: reading/listening recs

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page

Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

Gonna give y'all a mix of fannish and non-fannish stuff.

Firstly, my non-fandom interest the past few years has been North Carolina folklore. And several months ago, I stumbled across The Broadside podcast from WUNC (which is one of NPR's local affiliates in North Carolina). The podcast isn't folklore-specific, but it shares a variety of interesting stories about North Carolina, ranging from venus flytrap preservation efforts to exploration of Black banjo players and everything weird and wonderful in between. (Sometimes it does touch on folklore too). Episodes are usually around 20-25 minutes long. (I like to listen while I'm cooking!)

Secondly, I looked through my open tabs and here are a bunch of exchange collections on ao3 that I'm still in the slow process of reading through. It's really never too late to read a fic (or appreciate fan art or listen to a podfic, etc). I'm sure the authors would appreciate more people enjoying their work!

Exchanges:
☆ Whump Exchange 2025
☆ Casefic Exchange 2025
☆ Fic in a Box 2025
☆ Crossworks 2025
☆ Trick or Treat 2025
☆ Star Trek Holidays 2025
☆ Yuletide 2025

Happy reading and/or listening!
