DISCLAIMER: This episode has SPOILERS! If you have not yet watched The Eagle (2011), go watch it then come back. :P

In which we discuss war, Pride and Prejudice 2005, and the gray areas of history. Potential trigger warning for discussions of violence.

A note: This episode references upcoming episodes ("Vampires" and "The Eagle (2011 film)" so...spoilers? I guess?

As early as April of this year, experts were predicting that the "next wave" in the coronavirus epidemic would be a mental health crisis. Since October 10th is globally recognized as Mental Health Awareness Day, E and F trade the usual geeking out for a frank discussion on their personal mental health journeys, and what it is like living with, and living well, in the face of mental health issues.

This is a two-part episode. Part 2 covers F's story.

In which E and F discuss sealing wax, needlework, and why there were so many accomplished women in the Regency era.

YET ANOTHER OUTTAKE! 

We cut this digression from our already extremely-long episode on fictional crushes, but F decided she wanted to share it with you anyway, in case anyone out there is interested in hearing "...an idiot's guide to Jungian psychology, from an idiot." 

(Her words, not ours.)

If you'd like to learn more about Carl Jung's theories of the self from LEGITIMATE sources, we recommend the following books:

DISCLAIMER: E and F were not on any mind- or mood-altering substances while recording this. (Believe me; we're as confused as you are.)

In which we decide no podcast on geeking out is complete without a fangirl crush episode. Discussed: Jungian psychology, underrated Austen heroes, F's college crush(??!!), E's fascination for archery...and, well, Orlando Bloom.

(Also, F would like to clarify that when she said Cathy Morland was "...an ordinary girl, not that smart..." she wasn't implying ordinary girls were not smart. She was just rambling disjointedly because she gets very, very excited and ramble-y when she talks about Northanger Abbey.)

DISCLAIMER: We love all peoples of the world (or, well, F hates all people equally as she's an antisocial turtle). This is purely an intellectual inquiry into the nature of historical "canon."

That being said...in which E and F discuss colonizers. :P

In which we talk about the art of crochet, making reverse voodoo dolls, and how to "donate" to the show. 

Also, this is our first episode that actually goes under the time limit! Except, well, we threw that time limit out the window ages ago.

Yet another outtake!

In this trip, E and F discuss F's "dukhoo tour" itinerary, and how that ALMOST got them into trouble in Seoul National University.
