Introducing: Me and AU

Coming June 11 from the Procyon Podcast Network. Me and AU is a full cast LGBT+ audio romance about love, friendship, fandom, TV shows of questionable quality and growing up.

All Kate Cunningham wants to do this summer is watch her new favourite TV show, Selkirk, write fanfic about her new favourite TV show, Selkirk, and think as little about the future as possible. But a new online friendship with a fellow fic writer might disrupt at least one of those plans...

Content Notes: This podcast includes strong language, smoking and occasional discussions of drug use and violence.
