Ninth House, Prologue + Chapters 1 & 2
November 14, 2022 12:30 - 1 hour - 30.2 MBThank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode! I'm kind of blown away at the direction this book is going, because there's a difference between "I'm not sure what to expect" and "There was no possible way to be prepared for the weirdness". And you know what? I'm into it. In these first chapters, we meet Alex, who is attending Yale and can see ghosts. But she's not a Yale student who can also see ghosts; she's a Yale student BECAUSE she can see ghosts, and the shady organization at the h...
The Veiled Throne, Chapters 36 & 37
November 08, 2022 18:25 - 1 hour - 31.4 MBThank you very much to Kyle for commissioning this episode! These chapters are each very delightful in their own ways. First, we get to find out that Volyu is not getting the rewards for his betrayal that he was expecting, and is in fact being sent back to his people in such a way that he may wind up getting punished if there's any justice. Also, Toof and Radia are not traitors! They were helping! YAY! But my personal favorite, unsurprisingly, was the first installment of Restaurant Wars. T...
One Piece, 237-239
November 08, 2022 15:30 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThank you to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode! These are the ones where we finally get to see what Frankie is made of...and it turns out he's made of a lot more metal than I expected. Also, we've got the shooting of Icebarg, and I'm really not sure what the hell the deal is with Nico Robin being involved. I'm not SURPRISED she's involved, but I don't understand it. Oh also there's a giant storm coming and the whole bottom part of the island is going to be underwater soon! Th...
Rule Of Wolves, Chapters 45-49
November 08, 2022 12:30 - 1 hour - 29.1 MBThank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode! It's the final chapters of this book, but it's certainly not the end of the story. There are a lot of fun and delightful surprises packed in this section, one of which almost made me cry with relief, and another that made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I am SO excited for what comes next, and desperate as well. I hope we get a sequel soon! Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode of something!
The Veiled Throne, Chapters 34 & 35
November 07, 2022 23:15 - 1 hour - 27.7 MBThank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad that I got a little respite from all the horrific atrocities that have been happening to just chill with the food workers and theatre kids. They're a delightful crew, and I'm looking forward to them managing to at least thwart and possibly take down a man who is not only a selfish greedy piece of shit, but also the kind of scum who agrees to traffic human beings. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with the next...
Of Kings & Killers, Chapters 23-Epilogue
November 07, 2022 20:35 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThank you so much to Asher for commissioning this remainder of this series! It's the final chapters, and there is so much happening that despite assuring Asher that I would get to their questions about favorite moments in the book, etc, I wrapped without ever mentioning them again. Sorry, Asher! I will try to pick things up in the Discord, meet you there? Thanks again so much to you all for listening, and I will see you again eventually with another series!
What We Do In The Shadows, S03E02- The Cloak Of Duplication
November 07, 2022 18:30 - 1 hour - 28.3 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This is the one where Nandor needs some help with his love life and tries to enlist Laszlo to assist him in wooing a woman who works at his gym. That goes about as well as one could expect. Meanwhile, there's a power struggle between him and Nadja and I think it's very clear who comes out on top in the end. Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
One Piece, 235&236
November 07, 2022 12:30 - 1 hour - 41.9 MBThank you to Trish for joining me on these episodes, which were very upsetting and it was good to have a friend to lament to about them. These episodes are the ones where Usopp leaves the crew, and then challenges Luffy to a duel for the Going Merry. I hated them and they made me so sad and I don't know what the hell is going to happen now. Thanks for listening, and for the moral support, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
The Veiled Throne, Chapters 30-33
October 31, 2022 14:30 - 1 hour - 30.5 MBThank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! These chapters are pretty rough. And though things are tinged with some hopefulness here and there, I swear to god I am going to need solid unmitigated win for human decency soon or I am going to LOSE it. We've got Timu being forced to burn priceless historical artifacts and the bodies of nuns and priests, we've got Thera being betrayed and losing BOTH her children, we've got Tanvanaki's refusal to kill a woman who is fucking ALL her shit ri...
Of Kings & Killers, Chapters 20-22
October 31, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 27.7 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These chapters are pretty intense as Calder rushes to try some new things with the Emperor's powers, all in the midst of a pretty scary attack by Urg'naut that tears a chunk of the city into complete nothingness. Meanwhile, there's a whole thing with Bliss and I love this so much. Thanks a ton for listening, and I will see you soon with the final chapters!
One Piece, 233 & 234
October 24, 2022 17:30 - 1 hour - 28.9 MBThank you Gabriela for commissioning this episode! These two episodes focus on everyone learning that the Going Merry might not be reparable, and Luffy is having a really hard time with it. He seems to finally decide that it's time to say goodbye, but I'm not sure the rest of the crew is going to agree. Meanwhile, poor Usopp is being used as a punching bag by the Frankie Family, who first stole 200 million berries and then best the shit out of him again when he tries to get it back. Thanks...
Of Kings & Killers, Chapters 18 & 19
October 24, 2022 14:30 - 1 hour - 28.4 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which Calder comes back to life, and it takes a scene between him and Kelerac to make me realize that I just don't really believe Calder's deep desire to become Emperor. I believe he wants more for the world, I believe he feels passionately in justice, but...ruling? Nah. I'm just not buying that. Meanwhile, Jyrene is over here getting transformed into a super-version of herself, and I'm not liking any of this...
What We Do In The Shadows, S03E01- The Prisoner
October 24, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 27.6 MBThank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! This season premier starts off with two very unexpected developments; first, that Guillermo has been imprisoned in what looks like a proper dungeon in the basement of the Staten Island vampire residence, and that the Staten Island Vampires have been promoted to oversee the entire Eastern Seaboard. But only one of them can reign supreme. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you in a couple weeks with a new episode!
Dreadgod, Chapter 22-Bloopers
October 19, 2022 01:25 - 1 hour - 32.6 MBThank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! And this whole series! These final chapters are the ones in which Lindon and Mercy face off with Malice, and finally have a chance to tell Mercy the truth. Meanwhile, in the heavens the Mad King is planning his attack on Ozriel and Suriel, and Makiel is looking on with that kind of self-satisfied regret that I cannot stand because it's him acting like something is a "neccessity" when really what he means is that it's personally conven...
Dreadgod, Chapters 20 & 21
October 18, 2022 17:30 - 1 hour - 28.7 MBThank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which Malice seems to have convinced Mercy that Lindon has gotten so ambitious that he's willing to risk people's lives (basically accusing him of exactly the crime SHE'S guilty of), and Lindon & Yerin go off to rob a bunch of monarchs. This is all so so good. Thanks a ton to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
One Piece, 231 & 232
October 18, 2022 14:30 - 1 hour - 29.8 MBThank you very much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! We're still here in Water 7 and the crew is all up to their own stuff. Zorro is guarding* the ship, Sanji is collecting ingredients for dinner, Chopper is still looking for Robin (who herself is doing something we still don't know about), and Luffy, Nami, and Usopp are trading in their gold and hiring someone to repair the Going Merry. Although it's starting to look like maybe repairing the ship isn't possible after all. *napp...
Of Kings & Killers, Chapters 14-17
October 18, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 29.1 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! In these chapters we finally get to see Shera's attempt at assassinating Calder, and also find out a little more of Foster's history, which is truly harrowing and extremely difficult to read. There's also a delightful exchange between Andel and a shopkeeper, and I'm very interested in seeing what Andel goes on to do with this object. Thanks to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Dreadgod, Chapters 18 & 19
October 17, 2022 17:25 - 1 hour - 31.1 MBThank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Lindon levels up to a point that I didn't even think was possible. He's basically a dreadgod himself now? Which I should have kind of seen coming based on the title of this book and I didn't? Sometimes I can be a real ding dong. Also, the Mad King is up to some shit and I'm not sure what to think but it's all sounding pretty dire. Thanks to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Of Kings And Killers, Chapters 11-13
October 17, 2022 14:30 - 1 hour - 28.7 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning these chapters! So we're going back in time a lot here to see exactly what went down in the effort to recover the Emperor's crown, and turns out that Jyrene is even more lethal than I really thought, even though I should have known. I also am extremely interested to find out that it was Calder's idea to switch out with his body double without telling anyone, and I'm kind of impressed? Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with ...
What We Do In The Shadows, S02E10- Nouveau Theatre des Vampires
October 17, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 27.6 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode, the finale of Season 2, is a hell of an ending for now and I have no idea what we're going to do to follow up on how things wrap up. Is Guillermo going to try to work for them again, is he going to make them acknowledge him, is he going to keep protecting them? I'm into it either way. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Dreadgod, Chapter 17
October 11, 2022 17:35 - 1 hour - 30.7 MBThank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! This chapter is the one where someone very important returns.
One Piece, 229-230
October 11, 2022 14:30 - 1 hour - 28.2 MBThank you to Michael for commissioning this episode! It's time to start a new arc, and our friends are pulling up to a dope new island called Water 7, which is a lot like Venice, Italy with a giant fountain in the center. There's something kind of suspicious going on with all these people who are so overly friendly, and what's up with these masks? I'm concerned.
Of Kings & Killers, Chapters 9 & 10
October 11, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 27.8 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! So these are the fateful chapters in which Calder has a sit-down with Ozriel and finds out the purpose of his planet and the ways in which the Great Elders can try to escape. It's a helluva lot of information to absorb, and I'm really feeling sympathy for the fact that Calder's messages never make it where they were meant to go. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Of Kings & Killers, Chapters 6-8
October 10, 2022 14:45 - 1 hour - 27.5 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which the guilds go to war with the Regents and wind up battling it out so bad that a champion dies, Esther Six is horrifically wounded, and Teach is turned into a dried-out husk. Shockingly, Teach lives, and she's starting to take on a totally different look as she heals, which I'm super curious about. Also, Calder finally uses the Optasia with Bliss's help, and I'm wondering if perhaps this is when he has a ...
What We Do In The Shadows, S02E09- Witches
October 10, 2022 11:30 - 56 minutes - 26 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In this delightful installment of What We Do In The Shadows, we're getting a look at another supernatural being that I've been lowkey waiting for this whole time! Witches are here, and they're interested in Nandor and Laszlo's semen, which the two gents are totally fine with until they discover just how it's going to be extracted. Meanwhile, Guillermo is quiet-quitting and I couldn't be more proud. Thanks for listening, and I will see you so...
Dreadgod, Chapters 15 & 16
October 08, 2022 17:25 - 1 hour - 30.2 MBThank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! This is the set of chapters where the Silent King really goes all-out, and manages to take down some sages, including the Sage of Red Faith. But most importantly, he takes out Jai Long, and I'm super devastated. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode.
Dreadgod, Chapters 13 & 14
October 03, 2022 17:40 - 1 hour - 29.4 MBThank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which the Silent King makes his move by managing to switch places with the Wandering Titan, which is just super unfair and really shouldn't be allowed. Can I get a ref in here, please? Meanwhile, Yerin is out here fighting Redmoon and seems to have managed to take hiim down with Red Faith, but of course the fucking Bleeding Phoenix and the Silent King are out here pulling some shit to bring their little serv...
Of Kings & Killers, Chapters 3-5
October 03, 2022 14:30 - 1 hour - 28 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which we get the meeting of the Guild Heads from Calder's perspective, and it actually looks pretty similar to Shera's take on the whole thing, which surprised me. Also, we find out that Calder was specifically assigned to go find the missing crown of the Emperor, and I'm deeply suspicious of all of this. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
One Piece, Episodes 227 & 228
October 03, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 29.5 MBThank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode! I'm so delighted that we're getting such a dope new villain. Well, I'm actually not sure if I would count Aokiji as a villain exactly, but he's certainly an antagonist and someone that I'm looking forward to seeing more of. His power is completely out of control, and his attitude does not match up with it at all. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you in a week with a new episode!
Dreadgod, Chapters 11 & 12
October 01, 2022 18:30 - 1 hour - 32.3 MBThank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! Lots of folks seemed pretty pumped for these chapters, which are the ones in which Lindon ACCIDENTALLY breaks his oath and tells Charity about the connection between the monarchs and the dreadgods. Charity is PISSED, and she's really not sure what she's going to do because ascending looks pretty good but also feels lowkey irrespoinsible RN. Meanwhile, Orthos and Ziel are dealing with actual fucking dragons, and Orthos is beginning to see tha...
Of Kings & Killers, Prologue & Chapters 1-2
October 01, 2022 15:40 - 1 hour - 27.8 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! We're starting the final book and it's time to see how Calder gets where we see him at the end of Shera's book, and I'm so excited! First we watch him trying to exert his authority with multiple people and he's so unsuccessful it's embarrassing. Then we find out that Petal knew some of what Jyrine was up to way back when, and I'm so sad that she was manipulated. Poor Petal. Thank you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new epi...
What We Do In The Shadows, S02E08- The Collaboration
October 01, 2022 11:30 - 59 minutes - 27.1 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! I will warn you all that I'm a little hard on this episode because it really beats heavily on a particular joke that doesn't work for me at all. However, I recognize that it's my personal bias and that doesn't mean it's not funny, it just isn't for me. That said, what's going on with Guillermo is amazing. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!
Dreadgod, Chapters 9 & 10
September 26, 2022 02:15 - 1 hour - 30.3 MBThank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, Lindon manages to convince Mercy to try his plan to accelerate her advancement, but I'm not sure that I trust that her trust in HIM will keep her from continuing to suspect him based on the hinting from her mother. Also, Zeil and Orthos are in the middle of cleaning out this ruined castle when they come across a room full of dead bodies, and after clearing that level they encounter an ACTUAL dragon. Uh oh.
The Veiled Throne, Chapters 28 & 29
September 25, 2022 23:25 - 1 hour - 28.9 MBThank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, there's far more devastation within Thera's community than I wax expecting. In fact, saying "within the community" is suggesting there's still a community at all after what happens, and that's barely true. Meanwhile we get a really fascinating conversation between Jia and Zomi, and I can't help but be impressed with Jia despite the fact that she's clearly planning on doing something monstrous. Thanks for listening, and I w...
Of Killers & Kings, Chapter 23- Epilogue
September 25, 2022 18:25 - 1 hour - 28.5 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! The ending of this book is so jam-packed that I think I failed to do it justice, but I really tried! There's just so much to talk about, and so many small moments that tied some things together, or made me ask questions that I can't wait to be answered in the next book. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Dreadgod, Chapters 7 & 8
September 24, 2022 20:05 - 1 hour - 29.3 MBThank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which we get to see what it's like dealing with the Blood Sage, and find out more about his conflict with his blood copy. Meanwhile, Lindon goes to Mercy and makes a proposal, but her perception has been poisoned by Malice's manipulations. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you all soon with a new episode!
Of Killers & Kings, Chapters 20-22
September 24, 2022 13:50 - 1 hour - 30.1 MBThank you so much to Asher for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we've got a massive cameo from our very own Ozmanthus. Thanks for listening!
What We Do In The Shadows, S02E07- The Return
September 24, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 27.5 MBThank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode! This is the one where Simon the Devious comes back to...exact revenge? Nope. Repair his fragmented relationship with the Staten Island vamps? Absolutely not. He just wants the hat.
Dreadgod, Chapters 5 & 6
September 20, 2022 02:40 - 1 hour - 31.6 MBThank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Lindon has to send his friends into their respective areas that will benefit their advancement. He sends Yerin off with the Sage Of Red Faith, and Zeil and Orthos go off into that bizarre frozen landscape to find remnants and power that was left behind by legends. Meanwhile, Mercy is evacuating from the attack of the Titan, and the intensity of this battle is really different from the previous attacks by Dreadg...
The Veiled Throne, Chapters 25-27
September 19, 2022 23:25 - 1 hour - 28.5 MBThank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we've got Thera once again doing the thing where she assumes that Dara's way of doing everything is superior to the Agon way, and gets schooled completely by an elder as a voice painting is made for the first time. Meanwhile, Timu decides to find his spine at the exact wrong time and causes a deep division in the Lyucu, resulting in the hardliners being led by Cutanrovo to commit further atrocities. Thank you so much for ...
Of Killers & Kings, Chapters 17-19
September 19, 2022 20:15 - 1 hour - 31 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Shera has to deal with the uncertainty of Calder's body being missing, and I find out that Meia seems to have had nothing to do with the Imperialists knowing Shera's plan. In flashbacks, we find out what the reaction of the Regents is to being woken up in the manner they were...and Yala is in the hotseat. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Dreadgod, Chapters 3 & 4
September 19, 2022 17:35 - 1 hour - 33 MBThank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Lindon makes constructs to protect his friends from the Silent King, and he has to hide his shame when Zeil puts him on the spot for the third construct box. However, he's got some plans for how everyone can advance, but it's very risky and they each have to individually agree. Meanwhile, Reigan Shen shows up to help Sha Miara with her kingdom's fight against the Weeping Dragon. Surprise, Northstrider! Thanks...
Of Killers & Kings, Chapters 13-16
September 19, 2022 14:30 - 1 hour - 28.2 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! This is the episode where Shera puts her plan to take Calder down into action, and attacks him in the building behind where he's allegedly giving a speech. Turns out that was a body double (or at least that's what Shera thinks) and she's very confident that she's got the real Calder when she kills him. Turns out she's wrong, but she's CERTAIN she's got the right one the second time. Hmm. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a...
What We Do In The Shadows, S02E06- On The Run
September 19, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 28.1 MBThank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode! This is the episode that apparently some folks have been waiting for, when Laszlo runs away to start a new life as Jackie Daytona, human bartender. We get a spectacular cameo from Mark Hamill, and also some top-notch inspirational sports movie parody, and all in all it adds up to a particularly memorable episode. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Fullmetal Alchemist, Brotherhood, Episode 64- Journey's End
September 18, 2022 01:35 - 1 hour - 32.4 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this entire series! It's wild to wrap up this series after what feels like such a long run, but I found this finale to be pretty satisfying as far as endings go, even though not all the loose ends were entirely tired up. I'm really interested in whether this author goes on to write anything more in this universe. Thank you all so much for listening, and I hope to see you soon!
Dreadgod, Chapter 2
September 17, 2022 23:05 - 1 hour - 32.2 MBThank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! I only got to read one single solitary chapter this week because it was such a long one, but it was definitely a doozy. This is the chapter where we go into the POV of a young woman who works in metal shop in a town that has been taken over by the Silent King, and it's very fucking creepy. Dross shows up to save her, which is somehow not less creepy. Thanks so much to all of you for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Of Killers & Kings, Chapters 9-12
September 17, 2022 20:35 - 1 hour - 28.1 MBThank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! Lucan actually sits down with Yala and talks this all out, and she's actually able to guide him over to seeing his side of things! Which does not last, because Shera cuts to the quick of things and asks who he trusts more: Yala or the Emperor? So now I'm wondering if they're actually the ones who set the Regents free, or if that's just a red herring. Is that what Lucan wound up getting locked up for? Thanks so much to you all for listening...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 63- The Other Side Of The Gateway
September 17, 2022 17:45 - 1 hour - 29.9 MBThank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! It's almost over, y'all. We get a really surprising turn of events here, and I'm shocked to be feeling sort of sad for the Dwarf in the flask, because he seems genuinely baffled at how he fucked up and I don't feel like Truth's explanation is super helpful. Also, Al gets his body back! WAHOO!
Dreadgod, Prologue & Chapter 1
September 17, 2022 14:40 - 1 hour - 31.6 MBThank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! I'm FINALLY here with the next book in the Cradle series, and I could not be more excited. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Of Killers & Kings, Chapters 6-8
September 17, 2022 11:30 - 58 minutes - 26.8 MBThank you so much to Asher for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which we discover that Kellerac has been working with the Consultants for literally thousands of years, and I'm now highly suspicious of Yala. I assume she's fully working with Elders at this point. Although, what if she's not? What if she's just an unwitting pawn, like Calder? Nah. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
