“I just wrote ‘Toilets. What’s that all about?'” If you’ve been listening Welcome to Night Vale lately you’ll know why this episode title made us go “that sounds like it’ll be OH NO WAIT AAAAAA!” And if you don’t know, you can listen to us explain why we’re emotionally invested in a FREAKING CLOUD. After...

Episodes 229 and 230 of Lore Olympus are available this week (if you Fast-Pass episode 230) and WE ARE SO ANGRY. I mean, yes, episode 229 was kind of sweet and surprisingly instructional as Persephone gets much-needed information about fertility goddesses from Metis, who’s about as down-to-earth and helpful a Fertility Goddess as you’d want...

Last week Kathryn said she was going to watch Glass Onion this week and finally start the second season of Umbrella Academy. And wonder of all wonders, she did! It’s unheard of! It’s amazing! It’s unbelievable!! (It’s laying it on a bit thick is what it is. – Kathryn) (Hee. – Elizabeth) (AIRHORN NOISE) Massive...

We’re back home after all of our holiday and birthday travels, and on the latest episodes of Lore Olympus we…do NOT get the long-awaited reveal of what Apollo is up to and how his sister Artemis is handling it. But we do get a little bit of the origin story for Psyche. As a treat....

It’s a Binary System Birthday Edition as we’re joined by sister and frequent guest Hannah in the wilds of Kentucky! (“Wilds” meaning “a very nice Vrbo with wiFi and a fireplace.” Except we only get Netflix in the upstairs bedroom. Like SAVAGES.) Listen in as we discuss our first trip back to Mammoth Cave in...

Happy New Year from the BSP team! We hope you all had a fantastic celebration (or a safe and relatively chill evening at home if that’s your jam.) It’s a quick Travel-Edition recording this week (we may not have been at home when we recorded this, but we’re definitely back home now, or if we’re...

Happy Holidays from the Binary System Podcast team! This year one of our Christmas presents is some very welcome Lore Olympus backstory on Aphrodite (Ares is his own worst enemy, and for Aphrodite’s sake we hope the breakup takes). Elizabeth is also happy to report that the latest season of The Crown is well worth...

We did something different with the Night Vale recap this week, because it’s really two stories in one: first we’ve got to talk about how much we haaaaaate Dr. Janet Lubelle and her stupid smug face, and she better not lay a finger on Carlos because we WILL riot. Then go over the weird tarot...

Okay we’re gonna rocket through the recap of episodes 221 and 222 of Lore Olympus in record time, just over ten minutes, because there’s STILL NOTHING HAPPENING. I kid, I kid. EXCEPT NOT REALLY. We love this webcomic to bits, the artwork is top notch, and the relationship between Hades and Persephone is the most...

This week’s Night Vale recap has a lot of fan art requests and T-shirt moments, but it’s also us just being flat out amazed that Cecil can get interrupted by his kid every five minutes and it’s always stress free. It’s not saccharine, it’s not annoying, it’s not even a little frustrating; Cecil Baldwin just...
