Welcome to Alchemy, the podcast from Effigy Press. For anyone who’s ever looked at the chaos, confusion, and delightful mess of the world and thought, ’Yeah, I need to get in on that.’
Love Unscripted | Two Guys, One Girl, Zero Good Choices
Love triangles: that razor-thin line between heart-pounding drama and the literary equivalent of soggy toast. In our new episode, Tim & LeeAnna dig into why so many writers trip over plot holes, pace their story like a three-legged race, and expect readers to cheer for ‘Team Bland’ vs. ‘Team Blander.’ Spoiler: your audience deserves better. Let’s talk about how to actually make triangles burn with tension instead of collapsing into cliché.
As ever, Alchemy is ad-free, because who needs an ad for the next Netflix teen love triangle when you’re busy untangling your own?

Love Unscripted | Not Your Troy, Not Your Heaven (part 2)
In this Alchemy episode, Tim & LeeAnna continue their dive into emotional turmoil with the second of two of Yeats’s most emotionally raw poems – He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven. Ah, the wreckage of unrequited love.
As with all our podcasts, this episode is ad-free – because our advertiser, a manufacturer of custom-made Cloths of Heaven, has sadly gone out of business. Enjoy.
