**Joanna Robinson** (0:05)
Hello, welcome back to another Lestat Episode of House of R. I'm Joanna Robinson, and we, excuse me, it's Mallory Rubin.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:15)
Oh, the little wee homie. Are you enjoying this exclusive fan experience?

**Joanna Robinson** (0:19)
You know I am. Hello.
This is The Vampire Lestat Episode 2 Mallory is wearing normal clothes. I have become more unhinged, and this is what you can expect from our season of coverage of The Vampire Lestat. Can I see you through these glasses? Not really, but we are going to do our best.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:35)
Commitment to content and to your deep and abiding passion for Lestat and for The Vampire Lore in general. The question is, and it is on everyone's mind, will you for the finale do the entire podcast in fangs?

**Joanna Robinson** (0:49)
We will see. I did a trial run of it for our D&D campaign that we did, and there were some issues.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:54)
You have a few weeks to file them down.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:57)
To refine the process.
You'll be able to see the fangs in the thumbnail, but for now it's not part of the podcasting experience. We're going to get to a fangless yet very bloody and vampire deep dive into Episode 2 plus a very exciting announcement right after this.

**Mallory Rubin** (1:16)

Okay, quick program reminders. To justify the purchase of this coat, we will be covering The Vampire Lestat every single week. Yes. This is Episode 2, we've got five more weeks to go. Very exciting. We've got another Nolan episode that we are recording tomorrow. We were trying to keep the guest a secret, but I guess the Midnight Boys just dropped it on their pod. So Eric Voss, unless something happens, our pal Eric Voss from New Rocksters will be joining us.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:23)
Crossover event.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:24)
I know, we're really, really excited for that. We've long wanted to have Eric on the pod.
And then House of the Dragon is here. It's time. It's time. Talk to Thrones. Can't wait. On Sunday night with CR and then the deep dives on Tuesday. And these Vampire Lestat Episodes will be coming out in the middle of those is sort of the current plan. So-

**Mallory Rubin** (3:43)
Supergirl around the corner.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:45)
Supergirl.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:45)
Busy summer ahead. We're having a blast.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:47)
That's not all we're doing in summer. Okay. We teased, we hinted, and now we can share Mallory Rubin is returning home to Baltimore and she's taking all of us with her.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:58)
My wildest dreams are coming true. House of R. Night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, folks. We can officially announce, I will repeat, House of R. Night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards this summer, Thursday, August 20th, against the New York Yankees.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:22)
House of R.

**Mallory Rubin** (4:22)
Night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:26)
So join us.

**Mallory Rubin** (4:27)
Yes.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:27)
We're doing a pregame live show.

**Mallory Rubin** (4:29)
That's right.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:29)
And then you can hang out with us.
