Welcome to the forty-sixth episode of the Tea in the Treetops podcast hosted by Philippa and Angelya.

In this episode, Angelya brings you a musical interlude. How do authors use music to help them set the mood for their work? Sarah J Maas recently posted her full playlists for A Court of Mist and Fury, and in this short (and spoiler-free) episode, Angelya explores Sarah’s list, plus a few extras, to help you formulate your own playlist for writing.
We’ll be back to our regular format in a few weeks time, after the Brisbane Writers Festival weekend!
We hope you enjoy listening and we would love to hear your feedback. Is there anything you would like us to talk about in particular? Just let us know!
You can listen to past episodes of the podcast, as well as the various ways to subscribe on the main podcast page. You can now also record a voice message for us via the Speakpipe widget there.
You can listen to our spoilerrific review of A Court of Mist and Fury in episode 45!
