Cast a Pod to Your Witcher episodes

  • 4.6 - Blood of Elves Chapter 6 Part 1

    And we're back! Apologies for the interruption in the schedule - a data storage issue meant we needed to re-record this episode. This time, we're doing something a little different and only looking at half of episode 6 as Sapek wrote a ridiculously long chapter. Join us for chat about the nature of violence, rulership, and possibly upsetting every fandom on the internet.

    1 hr 2 min
  • 4.5 - Blood of Elves Chapter 5

    Welcome back! We couldn't have known when we recorded it that this episode would be released on Earth Day but, coincidentally, topics of discussion include: the ecological niche of monsters, climate change, and water pollution. Join us for a dizzying mix of high fantasy and environmental philosophy!

  • 4.4 - Blood of Elves Chapter 4

    Welcome back! This week's episode gets pretty heavy, with such questions as whether it is possible to remain neutral on a moving cart, the ethical limits of pacifism, and whether gastroenteritis is a sufficient punishment for Triss' crimes.

  • 4.1 - Blood of Elves Chapter One

    Welcome back! This week, we finally get into the novels with chapter one of Blood of Elves. Join us while we try to figure out whether every single background character is one of Dijkstra's spies and how to reconcile reading literature in translation.

  • 0.4 - Infertility and Reproduction

    Welcome back! This week we're taking a wee break before diving into Blood of Elves to discuss one of the major themes of this series - infertility and reproduction! We're joined by friend of the show Georgia (twitter: @sniphist), a PhD student studying the history of vasectomy, to discuss the under-explored theme of Geralt and the other Witchers' infertility and relationship with reproduction. 

    Note: this episode has spoilers for the full series

    Welcome Back and apologies for the slightly late episode! This week, we discuss the Sword of Destiny anthology as a whole, with full spoilers for the series. We consider the meaning of destiny, relationships with super-human lifespans, what makes a hero, and how much Sapek just really, really loves to hurt Geralt.
