    A real crispy crunchy episode where Saath rambles, starting with Alexander Siddig and ending with world politics. And yes, of course. It would be incredibly cool of him or his family to reach out, even to just say hello.

  • Content Warning Because This is About Sex Tropes Good and Bad

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!

    We are taking advantage of the medium and the lack of monetization to talk about sex in a very blunt way. CW for discussion of rape and sexual assault. Some additional topics include nudity, tentacle porn, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (but in a good way)

    This one was a bit off-the-cuff but we will touch on this again, and we will try to compile a reading list

  • Wrestling is About Everything - An Echologorrhea "Lost" Episode

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!

    Our first "lost" episode! A first pass at the topic of wrestling that led up to the more cohesive discussion. Saath hadn't seen the Fundie Fridays video at that time.

    Some things to check out: Fundie Fridays on Hulk Hogan, anything by Dave "Tuna" Meltzer, and probably more things. We had a lot going on in our lives when we recorded this and were a bit scattered.
