As always, while my Dragon Con schedule is subject to change right up to the convention starting (I’ve had panels dropped several times over the years due to guest schedule changes and even simple scheduling mistakes), with just two weeks left until Dragon Con 2025 I wanted to share where you…let’s say ‘should be able to’…find me!

The Geek Saga Podcast Episode 144: Impulsive Hyperfocus “Abstinence, Annihiliation, & Alf the Pope (aka Tara Goes to Church Camp)”

Episode 144 of The Geek Saga Podcast is the 9th episode in my “Impulsive Hyperfocus” series, in which I reminisce about the years I spent a week every summer at Monadnock Bible Camp…

For close to a decade of my life as a kid, tween, & teen, I attended church camp in New Hampshire…and while many of the memories have faded, enough stuck out that with this summer marking 25 years since my final year of church camp, I thought it would be fun to reminisce about the good…and, let’s be honest, NOT so good, aspects of my experiences there.
