Podcasts like Noble Blood

Dana Jae Schwartz (born January 7, 1993) is an American journalist, screenwriter and author. She was previously a correspondent at Entertainment Weekly; she is also the author of four books. She also writes and hosts Noble Blood, a historical weekly podcast for iHeartMedia about the dark side of monarchy.

Schwartz grew up in Highland Park, Illinois and was raised in a Jewish household. Schwartz attended Brown University on a public policy and a pre-medical course, but ultimately decided to become a writer. Schwartz was a Presidential Scholar.

After internships with Conan O'Brien and at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she began a career as a writer.

While an undergraduate, Schwartz attracted attention by setting up two parodic Twitter profiles, @GuyInYourMFA parodying pretentious and patronizing aspiring writers, and @DystopianYA parodying young adult fiction such as the Hunger Games series set in a dystopian future, both of which became popular with readers. Schwartz's success on Twitter helped launch her career in writing and publishing. She was named one of the hundred most influential people in Brooklyn culture by Brooklyn Magazine in 2016.
