Join Tim and LeeAnna for Alchemy... the podcast from Effigy Press that dives into the delightful mess of life. Whether you're a fiction writer refining your craft, or just someone who enjoys watching the world spin wildly and needs fresh fodder for your next cocktail conversation, we’ve got you covered. Today, we’re taking a detour into the unpredictable terrain of unexpected history—because when you think you know what’s coming, the world hands you a surprise. Writers, get ready to break the mold. Non-writers, stick around anyway—it’s going to get intriguing.

Of course, as with all our podcasts, we’ve saved you from the soul-crushing bombardment of ads for window replacement services you’ll never need. You’re welcome—because we care about your time (and your home’s perfectly functional windows). And if you hear one, I swear we didn’t let it sneak in. Blame it on the rogue ad bots.
