Ned spends a few minutes talking about the idea of meaningful play in the context of video game design.

Ned and Meg meander around in quarantine and complain about some stuff. We discuss self-hosting podcasts, TP weirdness, forced heroism, cats and dogs and art, owning music, and go wash your hands!

Meg and Ned discuss the unusual ways in which we mark the passage of time, as well as the intervals that result. We've been thinking on this one for a long time and the Weird Now seemed like a good time to talk about it. Join us on a temporal trip without leaving your house! Go wash your hands!

In this episode, Ned and Meg discuss fun idioms and violent verses in the English Language (plus one in French)!

Ned and Meg discuss all the things we love to eat. We spend some time on ice cream, discuss mac and cheese purists, and then tackle PB and J, the Pizza universe, tacos, seafood, and the nacho-ice-cream-death-spiral. Bon appetit! Wash your hands!

Ned and Meg have a late night chat in the midst of a pandemic about our brains’ abilities to do amazing new things. Neuroplasticity -- believe the hype!

We discuss the joy of depression, or rather, Melancholia, which kinda sorta used to be depression, but maybe now isn’t, and for sure was the name of a movie Meg likes. Anyway! Also in the mix are rites of passage, Hannah Gadsby, planetariums, pancakes, saunas, and life saving bathrooms.

Until Meg reached the age of 37 she didn’t realize there was a second half to the Sound of Music and that it featured Nazis. We discuss this misconception, lies, and warped memories from childhood, plus we get nostalgic about movies with Ned and Damon and Meg.

Ned and Meg have a very quiet podcast very early in the morning about all kinds of weird business, like how much I hate squash and wind scorpions, plus commentary on water balloons and betrayal.

Meg and Ned discuss how to do things in such a way that it ensures no one will make the mistake of asking you to do it again. Enjoy some examples from our personal experience. Role play along with us. Weaponize your apologies and diversify your skills. A master class from Ned in passive aggression - don’t miss it!
