Episode 102 - "Sauced in Austen" Episode 6
November 25, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 153 MBHey y'all, Are the shades of our podcast to be thus polluted? We reach the end of PPBBCAEnemesis, as it is properly known, and get in a few last dunks on poor Lydia. But never fear, this is not the end of our miniseries chat—two more episodes, and then we move on to the Laurence Olivier/Greer Garson film adaptation. Have a SAFE, EXTREMELY SAFE holiday. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 101 - "Sauced in Austen" Episode 5
November 18, 2020 12:00 - 2 hours - 166 MBHey y'all, Fuckin' Lydia. (Also, please go ahead and ignore all that chat about our 100th episode; as you'll already have gathered, we cannot count.) Thanks to special guest Jennlander Drunklynn for joining us! Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 100 - Podlander Drunkcast 100th Episode!!
November 15, 2020 22:24 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBHey y'all, Please read this, if you have a minute. Our next episode was meant to be our take on the fifth A&E/BBC PP as adapted by Emma Thompson's nemesis. As you'll hear, things had to shift a bit. Don't worry! That's coming this week! But for now, here's our 100th episode. We recorded this Friday night the week of the election, and as you may recall, that week was a weird one, and we were all a little sleep-deprived and emotional. So this episode may not be quite as funny as you mig...
Episode 99 - "Sauced in Austen" Episode 4
November 04, 2020 20:57 - 2 hours - 167 MBHey y'all, Friend of the show Keenan joins us to talk about the fourth episode of the BBC/A&E adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Without further adieu, please enjoy some wet-ass Darcy. Take care of yourselves, dear ones. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine (and Keenan)
Episode 98 - "Sauced in Austen" Episode 3
October 28, 2020 11:00 - 2 hours - 189 MBHey y'all, Friend of the show Scottie joins us to talk about the third episode of the BBC/A&E adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Our feelings cannot be repressed, we must tell you how ardently we admire and love having her on the show. Take care of yourselves, dear ones. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine (and Scottie)
Episode 97 - "Sauced in Austen" Episode 2
October 21, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 124 MBHey y'all, Janine met Mr. Collins and we could not be more delighted. He's also got some shopping to do. A few quick programming notes for our dear patrons: First, we're trying something new and doing a little Drunkcast lunch break every Friday at 1pm CST. Come hang out and say a quick hello! Second, we're going to keep doing our live watchalongs, so if you want to watch P&P episode 3 with us (a.k.a. MY FEELINGS WILL NOT BE REPRESSED), we're doing that at noon CST on Sunday. And third, ...
Episode 96 - "Sauced in Austen" Episode 1
October 14, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 119 MBHey y'all, Get ready to hear Allison tell stories you just heard a week ago because her memory is garbage and these episodes were recorded months apart! We get into the first episode of A&E/BBC's Pride and Prejudice miniseries and—spoiler alert—spend a lot of time talking about how hot Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle are. Programming note: We're recording our episodes on Sundays and doing a live watchalong first, so if ever you want to join us as we watch, we'll post a Crowdcast link...
Episode 95 - "Sauced in Austen" Kick-Off!
October 07, 2020 23:58 - 1 hour - 115 MBHey y'all, This episode was recorded near the end of July (and then life happened, you know how it is) so it is most definitely an artifact of the way, way back times of before October. And not to overhype it, but Julie and I (this is Allison, by the way) both think this episode includes one of the best jokes we've ever made on the show, and spoiler, neither of us made said joke. Anyway, we hope it's even half as fun for you as it was for us. More to come soon. Lots of love, Alli...
Episode 94 - "In the Booooooks" for Season 5
May 23, 2020 17:51 - 1 hour - 87.3 MBHey y'all, This week, Julie took a nap and Janine did some space stuff while Allison and special guest Jenna Pulkowski talked book shit for Outlander's fifth season. Should go without saying, but do not listen to this episode if you have not read the books and want to remain unspoiled! Please join us for our season five dice-rollin' awards-givin' wrap-up spectacular, live on Sunday 5/24 at 1 p.m. CST. This event is open to all listeners, not just patrons, so feel free to "bring" ...
Episode 93 - Outlander S5 E12, "Never My Love"
May 16, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBHey y'all, Woof, here we go. Early in the episode, you'll hear Allison talk about a safe jump-ahead point for anyone who might want to avoid our discussion of the sexual violence in "Never My Love." You can listen safely until the five-minute mark and then skip ahead if you want to avoid all prolonged discussion of the first half of the episode. If you jump to 33:50, you'll hit the section where we talk about the dissociative episodes (the "Never My Love" stuff); if you jump to 49:52, ...
Episode 92 - Outlander S5 E11, "Journeycake"
May 09, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 155 MBHey y'all, This week friend of the show Ruth "I wrote a fuckin' amazing limerick about Murtagh in five minutes" McCormack joins Allison and Janine to talk about the Hot Pess episode to end all Hot Pess episodes (Hot Pessisodes?), Diana Gabaldon's "Journeycake." Come for the bad time traveling, stay for the SPERRRRRMS. Patreon friends — Look for another inthebooooooks on Crowdcast later this week. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine (and Ruth!)
Episode 91 - Outlander S5 E10, "Mercy Shall Follow Me"
May 01, 2020 16:15 - 1 hour - 100 MBHey y'all, This is a bit of a weird one—some audio issues, some cat issues, some "Allison can't stop harping about book stuff" issues—but we think you'll like it as much as some folks like second breakfast. Also, Patreon backers can look for an intheboooooooks Crowdcast - exact time TBD but it'll be Saturday. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Episode 90 - Outlander S5 E9, "Monsters and Heroes"
April 24, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 81.4 MBHey y'all, We feel compelled to warn you that Julie had a weird fan thing going on with her computer (overheating, or maybe too much friction) so the audio got a little out of hand. But that doesn't matter, because we wrapped our fingers around the opportunities throbbing through this episode and gently squeezed. Enjoy. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Episode 89 - Outlander S5 E8, "Famous Last Words"
April 18, 2020 18:56 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBHey y'all, We had some technical difficulties and thus ran short on time but still managed to have a lot to say about the return of John Bell and his sick new threads, Richard Rankin's astounding performance, and whether or not it's a good idea to assume your audience is stupid. (Spoiler: it's not!) Maybe you liked it, maybe you didn't, but there's no denying that "Famous Last Words" is ambitious in a way few episodes of this series have been, and that is an undeniable Good Thing. So her...
Episode 88 - Podlander Drunkcast Live from the Oasis!
April 13, 2020 21:56 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBHey y'all, Back in February, when the world was, ah, super different, we headed to our favorite local bar, The Oasis, for a ridiculous live show. (For context, it was the week after the premiere.) We won't spoil it for you but suffice it to say it was quite an adventure and we had a blast. Thanks to everyone who came out, and especially thanks to Michelle and the lovely people of The Oasis, who are always the best whether we've got microphones with us or not. (And they are not responsible ...
Episode 87 - Outlander S5 E7, "The Ballad of Roger Mac"
April 02, 2020 16:00 - 2 hours - 111 MBHey y'all, DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE WATCHED SEASON FIVE, EPISODE SEVEN. This lengthy episode of the pod speaks for itself. We had a lot to say about the show's best outing in years—and in fact, we're going to say more! On Friday night, we'll be doing a virtual happy hour (SERIOUSLY STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED)... but really it's a Digital Wake to make up for the real-life wake we promised y'all but which we can't do yet. We still will! Just not until the world is in a be...
Episode 86 - Outlander S5 E6, "Better to Marry than Burn"
March 27, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBHey y'all, Construction on the apartment directly above Allison's forced her to bail on this episode (though she'll do an #intheboooooooks on CrowdCast), so Julie and Janine were joined by friend of the show Amelia Buzzell! They talked about plagiarism, fuckbois, and hot ghosts. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine (and Amelia!)
Episode 85 - Outlander S5 E5, "Perpetual Adoration"
March 20, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 79.8 MBHey y'all, Hello from the very strange present moment. We love you! Here's an episode we recorded in three separate apartments all within five blocks of each other. It worked out okay. We'd say more but we figure with all the voiceover in this episode you're kind of over hearing/reading lengthy explanations about stuff you already know. In summation: KITTY! Anyway, here's "Wonderwall." Be safe, and be good to yourselves. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Episode 84 - Outlander S5 E4, "The Company We Keep"
March 13, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBGreetings ferns, This week Julie is joined by a very special guest host, our dear pal and friend of the show Jenna Pulkowski! Both Allison and Janine were out this week, but the band will be back together soon. For now, Julie and Jenna proudly present... The Chronicles of FLMF. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Episode 83 - Outlander S5 E3, "Free Will"
March 06, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 79.7 MBHey y'all, Well, that one was a doozy, no? This was the first episode in quite awhile where Janine didn't see any of it at all, and we were very prepared for some earnest "oh, shit" action. Needless to say, it happened. Come for the Beardsley weirdness (Beardsley weirdsleys?) and stay for an, ah, emphatic response to that John Quincy Myers appearance. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Episode 82 - Outlander S5 E2, "Between Two Fires"
February 28, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBHey y'all, This week we were joined by our favorite twins, Keenan and Scottie, for a rousing discussion of a good episode with a bad title. You'll hear us reference the live show a few times (it was so fun, thanks to those who came!) which we'll post down the line, but for now content yourselves with this enthusiastic cake-fueled chat (and one little bonus minisode for Patreon subscribers, the first in a series we're calling "Janine's Corner: The Janine Experience"). Lots of love, Alli...
Episode 81 - Outlander S5 E1, "The Fiery Cross"
February 21, 2020 17:00 - 2 hours - 138 MBHey y'all, We're back! And so is the show! And so are you! Hurrah! And you know what's not back? THE BANGS! Cocktails (and pamplemousse LaCroix) in hand, the drunks got together to watch and discuss an hour with a wedding, a boning montage, some very pretty but questionable woodwork, and wigs of varying degrees of crunchiness. Do we have quibbles? Yes. Are we so, so glad our special program is back? Yes. Do we make that clear by talking for TWO AND A HALF HOURS? Yes. Want to hear mor...
Episode 80 - Season 5 extended trailer reaction!
January 10, 2020 12:00 - 46 minutes - 64.4 MBHey y'all, Look! An actual trailer! Julie, Allison, and Janine got together to watch and discuss a much heartier preview than we've seen so far. And Julie made a cocktail! Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Episode 79 - Outlander S5 first look!
December 31, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBHey y'all, Allison, Julie, and Janine got very holly and jolly to watch the recently shared first look at Outlander's fifth season, and of course it went in an unexpected direction. Heads up that this episode contains a fair amount of in-the-boooooooks stuff, so if you're planning to read the book before watching the season (or after, but want to experience it without any spoilers) you'll want to switch off once that starts. Lots of love— Allison, Julie & Janine
Episode 78 - Outlander S5 teaser reaction reaction
October 18, 2019 14:00 - 45 minutes - 63 MBHey y'all, The three of us couldn't manage to get it together to record this episode in one place, so what you've got is Julie and Allison reacting to the Outlander season five teaser trailer, Janine reacting to the Outlander season five teaser trailer, and Allison and Julie reacting to Janine reacting to the Outlander season five teaser trailer. We hope it is at least moderately entertaining. We'll be sharing the videos themselves, in one handy compilation, in a post to come shortly for P...
Episode 77 - Don't make us call it "Droughtlander"
October 08, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 93.4 MBHey y'all, New episode! We got together to talk about how fall has been, new TV shows, Janine's new podcast, and what the hell we're going to talk about until February. On that topic, you'll hear us discuss what's probably going to be a three-episode miniseries we need your help to put together. You can comment here, share your ideas on Twitter (@podlandercast) or in our Slack channel, or email us at [email protected]. Yours in hotness, Allison, Julie, and Janin...
Episode 76 - Podlander Drunkcast Summer Hang!
July 12, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 97.9 MBHello, friends! We'll get back to the Dune vase soon, we promise, but we decided to blow the dust off the ol' microphones with some light chat about how we spent our summer vacations, podcasts, mystery novels, and barbaric boning. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 75 - Dudelander Season 4 Part Two!
March 21, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 88.6 MBHey y'all - Here it is, our unintentional part two, our realization that we needed a part two, and a long, long conversation about man-in-bear-suit. The photo above will be addressed. We've got an Anyway, Patty coming for you this weekend, too! Last thing: Will you be at C2E2? If so, give us a shout—Allison will be there for work and would love to say hi. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, Janine, Kevin, and Neal
Episode 74 - Dudelander Season 4 Part One!
February 22, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 98.7 MBHey y'all, Without further adieu, Dudelander. It's a doozy. (Dudezy? We're workshopping it.) Okay, a little further adieu. We were going to keep this at one episode, but you know how things go. Look for part two next week. And in the meantime, please let us know what you want from your Droughtlander season! Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and an absent Janine
Episode 73 - Outlander Season 4 Wrap-Up LIVE SHOW!
February 08, 2019 02:33 - 1 hour - 93.4 MBFeaturing a Shyamalan-level twist concerning one of the longest-running jokes on the Drunkcast. We love y'all, enjoy! Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 72 - Outlander S4 E13, "Man of Worth"
January 30, 2019 02:09 - 1 hour - 148 MBHey y'all, Greetings from the other side of our last (mostly) sober 'cast, for now anyway. We assume you're eager to hear our thoughts on a certain development, so the preamble ends here. Well, actually, it ends after this: Please join us this Saturday (2/2) at The Oasis (6809 N Sheridan Road, Chicago) at 12 p.m. for our annual season wrap-up live show. It's our special bar and we can't wait to share its divey pleasures with you. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 71 - Outlander S4 E12, "Providence"
January 24, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBHey y'all, Give or take one Adagio for Strings, this one was a winner—particularly when one biscuit-loving Scot was on screen. Yes, Roger. You can have all the biscuits, ye ehjdiot. We also rhapsodize about the costumes, go on several extremely slap-happy tangents, and announce our season wrap-up LIVE SHOW, at the Oasis (6809 N Sheridan Rd) in Chicago. Show starts at noon. It is, alas, 21+, unless you're a tiny baby brought in by an adult parent. We're really excited about this. The O i...
Episode 70 - Outlander S4 E11, "If Not for Hope"
January 17, 2019 12:00 - 58 minutes - 80.4 MBHey y'all, Hope hope hope hopey hope hope hope, hope hope bird bunny bee hope hope credits deer hope. Hope hope hope Coinface hope, Tom Bombadil hope hope hopety hope. Hope. Hope-y birthday, Julie! Hope hope hope, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 69 - Outlander S4 E10, "The Deep Heart's Core"
January 09, 2019 12:00 - 48 minutes - 67 MBHey y'all, We sat ourselves down, did some nice, refreshing face masks, and watched the fine folks of Outlander lay the groundwork for the rest of the season. Our skin is supple, and our minds were sharp. Why sharp? Because this is Podlander Sobercast: an Outlander Podcast. Fear not, we'll be back on the sauce soon, but this is the only episode we've ever done for which all three of us were stone-cold sober. Oh my god, what if we weren't funny? Lots of love, Jul...
Episode 68 - Outlander S4 E9, "The Birds & The Bees"
January 03, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 150 MBBut what about the bunnies, we ask? What about the bunnies? We had a lot of fun with this one, y'all, but we must warn you that Allison made cocktails without measuring. Because a) they were delicious and b) they were secretly strong but whoops no measuring, she got us all pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty drunk. So, it's sloppy, is what we're saying. Listen on for our thoughts on the week's clear winner of the Platinum Pamplemousse, some chat about poor old Roger and certain narrat...
Episode 67 - Outlander S4 E8, "Wilmington"
December 25, 2018 12:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBHey y'all, We tried, we really did, to get you a full episode before the holidays. As you will hear in the following 27 minutes, our efforts were in vain. We'll be doing an xtreme xtra xlong xpisode next week, encompassing about half of "Wilmington" and all of whatever comes next, but for now, here are your favorite drunks, trying and failing to record from three different locations, one of which is roller coaster adjacent. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 66 - Outlander S4 E7, "Down the Rabbit Hole"
December 19, 2018 16:51 - 1 hour - 124 MBHey gang, It's the last 'cast we're recording in the same space before the holiday break, so we dug into a box of the wonderful Kate Kulzick's Christmas cookies and enjoyed the hell out of ourselves. Listen on for our thoughts on Sophie Skelton's evolving American accent, the return of a certain expert jactor, and looooads of #intheboooooks. We'll be back next week! Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 65 - Outlander S4 E6, "Blood of My Blood"
December 13, 2018 21:00 - 57 minutes - 79.1 MBCoinface returns! What else do you want? Allison and Julie, sadly sans Janine once more, love love love them some Coinface. Sure, there are some mixed feelings about the outerwear choices of Master Willie Leechington-Bangs, and we both groaned out load at a certain line of dialogue, but David Berry and Duncan Lacroix had a scene together, so how much can we really complain? Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Episode 64 - Outlander S4 E5, "Savages"
December 05, 2018 12:00 - 1 hour - 131 MBSome good stuff here, in our humble opinion! Solid #intheboooooks talk, a lovely little side tangent about how some dudes just can't put the fuckin' toilet paper on the holder, a part where the batteries on the recorder die and we have to stop and buy new ones, lots of Sofie, you get the idea. But yeah yeah who cares because.... [REDACTED]! We don't want to spoil it for you, but we are very excited about a certain head of silver hair (seriously, it's a great wig) and the fabulous acting ...
Episode 63 - Outlander S4 E4, "Common Ground"
November 28, 2018 12:00 - 46 minutes - 63.4 MBOkay, y'all. Have fun. Bonus: Listen for when Sofie has a nightmare while we're recording and Julie has to go wake her up. It was distressing, but not as distressing as some other things. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Episode 62 - Outlander S4 E3, "The False Bride"
November 22, 2018 12:00 - 54 minutes - 74.5 MBHappy Thanksgiving, nerds! Listen on for our thoughts on Roger's heel turn, Sophie Skelton's much-improved accent, Claire's thing for skulls, the footwear choices of ghosts, and loads of in-the-boooooooks. Have a great holiday, we'll be back with the next episode (already in the can!) before you know it.
Episode 61 - Outlander S4 E2, "Do No Harm"
November 16, 2018 03:07 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBFill your mugs and drink deep, friends, because this is a rough one. Julie and Allison were on their own this week, but even without Janine's gentle guidance/reminders to stay on task, we'd have had some trouble. That was an upsetting hour with a few great performances and one blessed, very silly skunk attack. Not sure what else to say, really. If we end up talking out of our asses, please call us on it—especially if you're a POC. Allison's on Twitter, Julie's on Facebook, and you can ...
Episode 60 - Outlander S4 E1, "America The Beautiful"
November 14, 2018 14:13 - 1 hour - 109 MBNOTE: Now the correct audio file. Thanks to everyone who let us know about the error! It's back! This is a bit of an odd episode, because we did the last bit at Rogers Park Social, where we watched the premiere live with a bunch of you (Hi all! Thanks for coming.) But in many respects, it's business as usual. Nicknames. Swearing. A very good dog. (That part's new.) We've got a backlog of episodes to release—life got crazy, in good ways and bad, for all of us—so please forgive us i...
Episode 59 - Live from C2E2!
June 11, 2018 12:00 - 59 minutes - 83.3 MBIn March, we played a weird game. It happened to be in a room full of people at one of the best conventions in the world. This is what happened. Enjoy. Love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Ep. 58 - Season 4 Trailer Reactions, DNA, and Tampons
June 04, 2018 17:04 - 49 minutes - 68.5 MBSo this is an odd one, friends. The first half: us tracking down and reacting to the teaser for the fourth season of Outlander. The second half: a "spoiler section" that quickly devolves into a conversation about DNA and then about tampons. You can skip ahead to 28:30 if you don't want to hear spoilers (well, there are still some very mild ones) but do want to hear us jaw for half an hour. Important note: this was recorded before news broke that the Golden State Killer may have been id...
Episode 57 - Dudelander, Season 3!
April 16, 2018 17:43 - 1 hour - 141 MBIt's here! It's Dudelander! For those new to the fun and games, our seasonal Dudelander episodes feature Neal (Julie's husband) and Kevin (Allison's arch-enemy who is actually just her friend), two gentlemen who watch Outlander with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Usually, they're pleasantly surprised by some things and not by others; this time around, we're all pretty frustrated so the vibe is different. They're funny, and we got them wasted, and also we recorded this on NEW YEARS EVE, ...
Episode 56 - S3 Wrapup LIVE at Empirical Brewery!
April 11, 2018 22:02 - 1 hour - 84.1 MBFor this episode, we were live. We did it live. Live at Empirical Brewery, we gave out our traditional end of season awards, and we did so live and in person. Live. It was in December. We're catching up on the backlog, we promise. So... happy holidays? We also got to see so many of you! It was wonderful. We especially want to thank Megan and Tori, who brought waffles as per tradition, the wonderful Wisconsin contingent — and in particular Chantel, who brought us hats she knitted which are ...
Episode 55 - We're Back (We Promise ) - C2E2 and More
April 03, 2018 14:16 - 49 minutes - 94.4 MBHey y'all, We got busy in weird, stressful ways, but we're back! We promise. Contained herein you'll find information about our live show at C2E2 this weekend, our thoughts on Tobias Menzies' new gig, where the hell we've been since December, some jokes about our collapsing emotional states, and all kinds of other stuff. We'll be back NEXT WEEK with new episodes and we promise not to disappear again. Lots of love, Allison, Julie and Janine
Episode 54 - Outlander S3E13, "Eye of the Storm"
December 15, 2017 16:21 - 2 hours - 187 MBWe did not like when. You've been warned. Seriously, we know a lot of you listen to the show because we're enthusiastic, but enthusiasm isn't always warranted. Don't worry, there are still plenty of positives — we love Coinface always forever — but we were not super pleased with this one. If you're looking for a warm, fuzzy finale lovefest, join us Sunday LIVE at Empirical Brewery in Chicago! Thanks to all of you for your support. Means the world, honestly. Lots of love and quite a ...
Episode 53 - Outlander S3E12, "The Bakra"
December 14, 2017 15:26 - 1 hour - 158 MBHey, please read this note. Julie and I (Allison) screwed up. This is a funny episode, we think — god, we hope so — and we had not one but TWO amazing guests, and we got to talk about Lotte Verbeek a lot, so, win. But we were vaguely dissatisfied with the show's handling of slavery, and talked about it as such, wrapped the episode, and went home happy. Then we woke up the next morning, thought about it some more, and realized that yeah, we screwed up. The thing about white privilege is t...
