This week we welcome Natasia Langfelder, who wrote this article for AfterEllen about female couples we 'shipped before shipping was a thing. We explore the idea of same sex couples that never happened and discuss the various reasons why they didn't. Do you have a favorite? Be sure to share with us on twitter (@shippingroompod)

Many of the ships we talk about have long and tortured stories, often ending in misery and leaving us devastated. Every so often, however, a couple we've been rooting for does make their way down the aisle. This week we talk about some of our favorites. Who are yours? Be sure to share with us on twitter! 

All shippers have their favorite moments from their ship's history, and often times those moments are accompanied (and enhanced) by the music playing. This week we take a look at some of the most memorable music that has played at pivotal TV moments--and share some of our favorite clips with you! What are some of your favorites? Be sure to let us know on twitter, facebook, or instagram. You can also find all the songs on the 'ship music playlist on our Spotify (shippingroompod). 

We're doing something a little different this week. After 32 episodes of talking about our experiences as TV fans, we're turning the tables to get some insight into how some of our favorite stories come to be. We're joined by Dan Gregor, whose writing credits include How I Met Your Mother, The Comedians, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend to talk writers' room secrets.
