Award-Winning Authors Jessica Maison and Matt Harry Launch “Monster v Monster” Podcast
Los Angeles, CA - June 2026 - Award-winning authors Jessica Maison and Matt Harry have teamed for MONSTER V. MONSTER, a new weekly podcast that launches on Tuesday, June 2.
Matt Harry and Jessica Maison at LA Comic Con.
The show is half monster-centric conversation, half actual play podcast. Every Tuesday, Jessi and Matt will welcome a guest, discuss their creative monsters of the week, then pit two monsters against each other and role-play the encounter to see which one will reign supreme.

“My fascination with monsters and folklore has always driven a great deal of my creative work. I’m thrilled to have a chance to expand and share that love on MVM by creating spooky, funny, and entertaining stories with so many talented monster-lovin’ folks,” said Jessica Maison (Mary Shelley’s School for Monsters, Plastic Girl). Maison was recently nominated for a Nebula Award and also explores monsters in her Substack publication, Monster of the Week.
“The world’s had to deal with plenty of real-life monsters recently, so we thought it would be fun to focus on some fictional monsters for once,” said Matt Harry (Sorcery for Beginners, Ash Land). “Listeners will get to see another side of guests as they answer important questions like what breed of dog is Cerberus, and whether Bigfoot or Swamp Ape would win an arm wrestling contest. No encounter is the same, and each one offers plenty of history and humor.” Harry was selected for the 2024 Orchard Audio Lab, and is repped by Jonathan Shikora at Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora, and Clark.
Guests on the show include Josh Pruett (Last Kids on Earth, Dr. Who), Ray Utarnachitt (Legends of Tomorrow, Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85), Clay Adams (Blazing Blade of Frankenstein, Red X-Mas), Megan Haskell (The Sanyare Chronicles), Charlie Stickney (White Ash, The Game), Carla Wyzgala (Skull Maskerade, The Hidden Door) and many, many more.
Monster V. Monster is produced by Wicked Tree Press and Codex Arcanum Press. The show is available on all podcast platforms, and the newsletter is hosted on Substack. Listeners will escape each week into a world of magic, might, and monsters. The first episode is now available wherever listeners get their podcasts.
