My 2025 upload schedule

Schedule wise I am planning to keep my author and main channel posting schedule the same (every Wednesday for beautyqueen and the 1st,15th, and 28th of every month for Phoebe M.C.)

My podcasts will also stay the same every fortnight on a Monday for my author podcast and every fortnight on a Thursday for my true crime podcast.

However, I am going to change it up a little bit and instead of new blog posts going live on the 1st of every month, they will be going live on the 15th.
