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.

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.
