Every story has a beginning, and Slowburn began with Steph.
As one of the creative minds behind the original concept, Steph helped spark the idea that grew into the community it is today. Her curiosity, imagination, and endless stream of ideas helped shape the heart of Slowburn from the very beginning.
Though life eventually led her in a different direction, her fingerprints remain woven throughout the foundation of the podcast. She continues to be one of Mis's biggest supporters, always cheering from the sidelines with encouragement, excitement, and probably another brilliant idea waiting to happen.
Rarely found without a good book in hand, Steph is still full of wonder, creativity, and the kind of joy that reminds us why stories matter in the first place.
Some chapters change. The impact they leave behind never does.

Mis is a lifelong reader, former school librarian, and the voice behind Slowburn, a podcast where witchy meets wordy and the conversations go far beyond the pages.
Drawn to dark romance, fantasy, psychological thrillers, and stories with beautifully flawed characters, she believes books have the power to connect us, challenge us, heal us, and remind us that none of us are walking this path alone.
Known for creating a space where authors and readers feel equally at home, Mis isn't afraid of the hard conversations. She'll happily dive into creativity, publishing, spirituality, mental health, grief, joy, and all the beautifully messy moments that shape who we are. And just when everyone thinks the conversation is winding down, she'll ask one completely unhinged question that somehow reveals the most.
For Mis, books are only the beginning. The real magic happens in the conversations they inspire.

Kelli is the friend everyone needs in their book club. She's quick with a one-liner, always has a strong opinion about book boyfriends, and somehow manages to make every conversation a little funnier.

Kelli is the friend everyone needs in their book club. She's quick with a one-liner, always has a strong opinion about book boyfriends, and somehow manages to make every conversation a little funnier.
A lifelong reader and unapologetic lover of dark romance, Kelli isn't afraid to embrace the spice, defend the morally gray men, or admit when a book completely wrecked her. She works in hockey, which means hockey romance is firmly on her "absolutely not" list, but she's always ready to recommend a story that will keep you reading long past your bedtime.
As co-host of Slowburn, Kelli keeps Mis on her toes, the guests laughing, and the conversations delightfully unpredictable. Together they prove that the best discussions happen when you stop taking yourself too seriously and let the stories lead the way.

Season Two begins with a celebration.
In this Slowburnaversary episode, Mis and Kelli look back on an unforgettable first year behind the microphones, sharing the moments that made them laugh, the conversations that stayed with them, and the unexpected ways Slowburn has grown.
What started as a podcast about books has become something much bigger. It's become a place where stories lead to people, people become friends, and a community forms around honest conversations.
Join us as we reflect on the past season, look ahead to what's coming in Season Two, talk about the incredible indie community that continues to inspire us, and celebrate everyone who's pulled up a chair by the fire along the way.
Whether you've been with us since Episode One or you're joining us for the first time, welcome to Season Two.
This is Slowburn, where we go deep, move slow, and let the fire speak.
