Episodes
Motherhood
January 01, 2024 09:00 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBHappy New Year! I hope you weren't attached to the gods... Season 6 should be with you beginning in about April 2024 - see you then!
-Eve-
December 25, 2023 09:00 - 39 minutes - 38.8 MBWho needs character development when you have flashbacks and a shaft of light? Episode title is a bit weird this week because podbean insists on five characters.
Livia
December 18, 2023 09:00 - 36 minutes - 35.6 MBLook, a brand new character! Odd to introduce her this late in the season. Still, I'll give her a chance.
Looking Death in the Eye

Antony and Cleopatra
November 27, 2023 09:00 - 42 minutes - 40.6 MBXena nips over to Egypt for the weekend cause she got a great deal on a package flight. Unfortunately it becomes a bit of a busman's holiday, and she accidentally has a spot of ill-advised romance with a buff Italian right in front of Gabrielle's salad (days.)
Kindred Spirits
November 20, 2023 09:00 - 40 minutes - 39.6 MBThis episode is called Kindred Sprits, and if you understand why please write in. Flam and I descend into mild hysteria in this episode - enjoy.
Lifeblood
November 13, 2023 09:00 - 35 minutes - 34.7 MBRemember last time when I said that episode was even worse than the episode that was just a stealth pilot for Amazon High. Guess what.
Married With Fishsticks
October 30, 2023 11:18 - 28 minutes - 33 MBLads...it's possible this episode might have broken us. If you're a fan of this episode, I don't even know what to say.
Amphipolis Under Siege
October 23, 2023 08:00 - 54 minutes - 53.1 MBAthena's siege of Xena's hometown leads to the best possible outcome - public resistance singing!
Eternal Bonds
October 17, 2023 11:44 - 39 minutes - 38.4 MBXena meets The Bangles, and Wonko reads too much into one line of dialogue. Overanalysis: the episode!
God Fearing Child
October 09, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBOr is that god, fearing child? Warning: not recommended for listeners with a Peanut allergy.
Punch Lines
October 02, 2023 08:00 - 35 minutes - 34.2 MBWe've returned! Unfortunately, it's a clip show.
Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire
August 21, 2023 08:00 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBWhat better way to celebrate our favourite show's 100th episode than with a cringey jukebox musical? What's that you say? Literally anything else? Oh. Featuring: a penguin! Recorded with one track when we were in the same room, and completely unedited, so enjoy that if you can.
Seeds of Faith
August 14, 2023 08:00 - 45 minutes - 43.4 MBWe say hello to a new arc and goodbye to some recurring characters - also, we did it live! Recorded with one track when we were in the same room, and completely unedited, so enjoy that if you can.
Little Problems
August 07, 2023 08:00 - 44 minutes - 43.1 MBLet me tell you something lads - we had a couple of little problems with this episode.
Back in the Bottle
July 31, 2023 08:03 - 42 minutes - 39.9 MBOh lord have mercy, it's a folley-up-thing. And not only are these two episodes nowhere near as good as The Debt, this one isn't as good as last week. It's all downhill folks.
Purity
July 24, 2023 08:00 - 45 minutes - 43.8 MBWe return to China this week for the first of a two part adventure that's not as good as the one in season 3. Content warning: Joxer.
Them Bones, Them Bones
July 11, 2023 20:45 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MBThese bones, man. They're dry. Dry old bones. There will be a short posting break next week - see you in two weeks!
Animal Attraction
July 05, 2023 22:59 - 43 minutes - 40.9 MBDid I ever think Gabrielle would get a horse? Neeeeeiiiiiigh.
Chakram
June 19, 2023 08:00 - 38 minutes - 35 MBFinally, we get backstory on one of the show's most important characters: Xena's chakram.
Fallen Angel
June 12, 2023 08:00 - 58 minutes - 59.1 MBWe're back, baby, and so are Xena and Gabs. From the dead that is. FlimFlam and I were just on holiday.
Deja Vu All Over Again
April 10, 2023 08:00 - 57 minutes - 54.3 MBDo you think it's weird for your season finale to be a clipshow? You just never know what crazy thing this show will do next! Also featuring our ovderall review of Season 4.
The Ides of March
April 03, 2023 09:51 - 56 minutes - 54.9 MBHere's what we've all been waiting for - 80 seconds of Gabrielle cheating on her new vegan diet in a really big way.
Endgame
March 27, 2023 08:00 - 49 minutes - 47.6 MBAmazons and Romans and new recurring characters, oh my!
Takes One to Know One
March 20, 2023 13:43 - 37 minutes - 32.7 MBThe third best episode of Xena named after a playground insult, right behind I Know You Are But What Am I? and Your Mum.
The Convert
March 13, 2023 10:52 - 45 minutes - 43.2 MBYou guys, Joxer isn't annoying in this one! Luckily he'll be annoying again next week, so I'm not fully...converted...to his charms. Did you see what I did there?
The Play’s the Thing
March 06, 2023 11:24 - 27 minutes - 25.8 MBThe Play's the Thing! Wherein we'll...act badly and preach at the audience. I'm sure that's how Shakespeare ended that quote.
The Way
February 27, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBLong before The Mandalorian turned This is the Way into a meme, Xena took liberties with Hinduism and created the most controversial episode of the show's history. Join us for a little chat about the only episode ever pulled from syndication, The Way.
Between the Lines
February 20, 2023 22:01 - 35 minutes - 33.6 MBIt's somehow appropriate that we had to re-record this episode, given it's about reincarnation. Also, that goddamn wig!
Devi.
February 13, 2023 09:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBXena and Gabrielle encounter a street magician and answer the call for volunteers from the audience. Btw, apparently Podbean won't let the episode title be less than 5 characters? That's why there's punctuation in the title this week!
Paradise Found
January 30, 2023 09:00 - 40 minutes - 34.9 MBWe're going down the rabbit hole this week people, but will we find paradise when we get there? If learning yoga from a white guy is paradise, then yes.
If the Shoe Fits
January 23, 2023 09:00 - 25 minutes - 24.3 MBAnother of the episodes FlimFlam's been dreading. Strap in for some Aphroditde inspired Cinderella shenanigans.
Daughter of Pomira
January 16, 2023 09:00 - 35 minutes - 34.8 MBA version of a season 2 episode, but somehow less subtle. Also check out the top notch seamless editing work at the beginning.
The Key to the Kingdom
January 09, 2023 09:00 - 35 minutes - 33.6 MBLucy needed a bit of time off, so we have a Xena-lite episode. Instead, the producers have brought Meg in to carry the show this week. Let's see how she does...
Past Imperfect
December 19, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 31.7 MBMan, this episode was tense. Laugh, damn you!
Crusader
December 12, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.9 MBXena and Gabrielle meet a mysterious warrior who seems too good to be true. And you know what they say about things that are too good to be true...
Locked Up and Tied Down
November 28, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes - 37.7 MBThis week, your kink is not my kink and that's OK. Unless your kink is crab related. Then you should seek help.
A Tale of Two Muses
November 21, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MBIs it ever a good sign when you send your co-host a voice note that's just you groaning in pain when you see what episode it is? Anyway, enjoy this review 😅
A Good Day
November 14, 2022 09:00 - 45 minutes - 42.5 MB"Well, well, well, if it isn't some Roman douchebags." - Xena, ~400BC maybe? Who knows.
In Sickness and in Hell
November 07, 2022 00:09 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBThe episode Flam's been so looking forward to! Broad physical comedy! Foot fungus! Talking lice! The components of any good episode of TV, surely.

Sacrifice II
September 05, 2022 08:00 - 58 minutes - 54.9 MBAnd they said it couldn't be done. And yet. Featuring our review of the Season 3 finale and a look back at the season as a whole.
Sacrifice I

Tsunami
August 15, 2022 08:00 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MBXena and Gabrielle get stuck on a boat again, but this time we have a natural disaster to deal with. This never would have happened if we'd gone to Macon, Georgia. I’m just sayin’ is all.
Fins, Femmes and Gems
