Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Explores themes of magic, loss, and the consequences of power, with episodes delving into the backstory of the magic incident and the emotional struggles of the surviving magicians.
Adam Blackwell and Amy Stirling met as graduate students in anthropology, both obsessed with studying the same dead language and long-lost culture. Their relationship was always… complicated. They were bitter rivals, ideological opposites, and even went out on a date once – though they’d really prefer if everyone forgot about that last thing, thank you very much.
Then, they became the first two people in thousands of years capable of doing magic.
Over the next five years, they became global superstars, both revered and feared. Their powers led to a tragedy unlike any the world had seen before. Now, the world’s first two magicians of the modern age must figure out the truth of their power, its consequences, and their relationship with one another before they do more damage to the world.

CONTENT WARNING: This show contains all kinds of bad things: it’s set in our modern day, which means it involves discussion of inept government, unfair business practices, labor abuse, small-mindedness, substance abuse, grief and loss, COVID, chronic illness, sexual harassment, and death. There’s also quite a bit of swearing, drinking, smoking, violence, arson, and all manner of demonic behavior. This episode in particular involves a car crash.
Two Thousand and Late is a production of Atypical Artists and executive produced by Patrick Ellis and Lauren Shippen. The show was created, written, and directed by Lauren Shippen, with the brilliant Octavia Bray as our script consultant. Our spectacular sound design is by the fabulous Jeffrey Nils Gardner, our dazzling original art was created by the first-rate Ellis Carson Jones, and our rollicking theme music is by the ever-wonderful Brandon Grugle. We have many incredible actors lending their voices, so I’ll let them speak for themselves, in order of appearance: Margaret Burrus as Maddie, Elena Victora Feliz as Gemma, Vikki Kelleher as Carol, Candace McAfee as Rory, and Tyler Moody as Sid. Oh, and of course, Lauren Shippen plays both Harper and Havoc, she really is so self-obsessed. For more information about the show, please visit harperandhavoc.com. Our advertising is arranged by Multitude, so please get in touch with them if you’d like to participate in the glory that is capitalism at [email protected]. Alright, that’s all for now.
