With Sarah unexpectedly out for the week, it's a slimmed-down installment of the podcast (no Canon or Game Time) -- but fortunately Eve Batey is here to bring her expertise in both San Francisco and true crime to join our discussion on The Dropout! Around The Dial takes us through Our Flag Means Death, The Courtship, the Late Night With Seth Meyers Corrections series on YouTube, Vikings: Valhalla, and the latest on 9-1-1: Lone Star. Mlle. Caroline asks us to pick non-canonical middle names for TV characters. Then we name the week's Winner and Loser! Get your blood sugar up with a cookie (or two) and join us!
