Binary System Podcast

The next Night Vale episode didn’t drop early enough for us to do a recap this week, and there’s been enough stuff going on that we figured it was a good time to bring back the Sit Rep (With Beers!) The good news is that Elizabeth is newly-employed and feeling very relieved and grateful (unemployment...

This week’s episode features the triumphant return of special guest Hannah Wallace, as she and the East Coast branch of the podcast fight their way through the wilds of Gatlinburg. (But really, they saw a bear and everything!) As they fill in Elizabeth on their adventures, everybody gets a chance to talk about what we’ve...

Alejandra Nuñez, Ronnie Sharma, and Nanako Barnes of Mr. Prescott’s 5th Period AP English Class – the protectors of Night Vale otherwise known as the Library Tweens – have decided that they DON’T want to be known as the Library Tweens anymore. They need a new name, something with a little more staying power. This...

Okay in some respects it’s just business as usual around here: Kathryn and Elizabeth have both been watching season 1 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, four years after it first came out, that tracks. But Kathryn just watched the first episode of Mayor of Kingstown season 3, only three months late, what the heck? And...

Surprise! Due to travel delays, lack of any Lore Olympus updates (mournful sigh), and time (and scheduling) just generally being weird, we’re doing two Welcome To Night Vale recap episodes in a row! This week we’re getting crafty, so prepare your sunniest room (no windows allowed), grab your best implement (stolen is preferred) and your...

We knew as soon as we saw the title that this week’s Night Vale would feature the return of Deb the Sentient Patch of Haze. But we assumed she’d be hawking several things, instead of just two: a spray that may or may not repel Librarians, and a teleporter that may or not make people...

The Binary System Podcast team appears to be on a bit of a roll lately. Just this week Kathryn finished season 2 of Mayor of Kingstown, and both Kathryn and Elizabeth have watched all but the last episode of Poker Face. That’s two TV series where we’re now less than a year and a half...

(Heh. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.) Night Vale has come up with this amazing “ride share” program, and it even has driverless cars! Of course, the ride doesn’t take you anywhere near where you wanted to go, and the cars are only “driverless” because ghosts don’t count. Or do they? Doors are locked for...

The gigantic, internationally-known event has wrapped up, with thousands of people having attended, and the whole world’s talking about the big reveals and celebrity appearances. That’s right, GalaxyCon 2024 in Raleigh North Carolina was a blast. In all seriousness, while the East Coast branch of Binary System Podcast was going to GalaxyCon, the West Coast...

So, we’re bad at TV and movies. …oh, you were expecting a “but” there weren’t you? No, we’re absolutely horrible at TV and movies, which is why this week we’re catching up on Poker Face episode one, which only came out a year and a half ago. Before you congratulate us, you should know Kathryn’s...
