Fan Wonderland welcomes star of upcoming Freeform Original Motherland: Fort Salem, Taylor Hickson, to discuss new ships, LGBTQIA+ representation and all things witchy. Taylor Hickson Links Twitter: https://twitter.com/taylorhickson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taylor.hickson/ Editor Notes: Taylor’s audio is a little quiet at times. (Taylor is also softly spoken). Also there’s a ding from her phone and that’s just witch business so don’t question it. There’s also an audio glitch around 19:45. We’ve tried to edit as best as possible but given we mainly do remote interviews we work with the best that we have. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fanwonderlandofficial/support
