Join us, Loretta and Emyli, in this week’s episode of FanCastic as we journey back into Orea to fan cast our favorite characters from Glow, the fourth installment in Raven Kennedy’s Plated Prisoner series. From our favorite sitcom actors to perfect picks, we break down who we think embodies these beloved characters.

We even had two (yes, TWO) actor matches between us, proving great minds think alike (or we are spending far too much time together).

Whether you’re obsessed with Auren’s journey, still reeling from the twists, or just love imagining your favorite book characters on screen, this episode is packed with passionate debates, hot takes, and plenty of laughs.

Plus — our fan-favorite segment is back.
We’re bringing the energy with Rant & Rave, where we share what we’re loving and what we’re absolutely not about our week. Expect unfiltered opinions, relatable moments, and a few controversial takes.

In this episode:

• Fan casting Glow characters from the Plated Prisoner series
• Discussion of Daughter of No Worlds
• Discussing our current read of Gold
• Two matching actor picks and what that says about our casting choices
• The challenge of casting the perfect Ryatt
• The return of our Rant & Rave segment
• Bookish banter, laughs, and honest reactions
• A lot of singing (?)
