In this episode, two monsters’ thick hides collide. We also have the greatest and most abrupt weaning scene in the entire series.

Tallstar's Revenge is designated a "Warrior's Super Edition," and there is no mystery why. To begin this book, we invited our friend Astraea as a special guest. In this episode, we talk about book covers, what happens if the pain of receiving your nine lives is so bad that you die, and the Windclan tunneling system, which invokes heavy criticism.

“Something’s fundamentally wrong with my right leg." We review The Coldest Winter since 1854, a short story by William Saroyan.

We have finally finished Outcast! And what a slog it was. We spent like 5 minutes picking the next book, which is coming up after our special episode: Tallstar’s Revenge!

Broken Code quiz

Sexual intercourse alert! That’s right, our Warriors quote of the week is NSFW. We think fresh kill should be eaten quickly, lest it become stale cold kill. Lionpaw demonstrates how to urinate on a pile of rocks. We talk about whether it’s a good idea to cake mud on your body and eat it up later. There’s also a lot of cat colonization, racism, and xenophobia in these chapters.

Frecklewish controversy resources:

In this short episode, we talk about blowing your eyes, the herb garden in the Cave of Rushing Water (?), and a certain lie that increases our respect for Stoneteller despite characters thinking otherwise.

We talk a bit about the upcoming new books. Two cats have to insist that they are not dead. Evelyn gives Simon a couple quizzes. We get confused over the geography once again. A full grown cat carries an almost full grown cat by the scruff. The white (or orange) savior trope rears its ugly head. Breezepaw threatens to release an album. The Tribe of Endless Hunting is surprisingly eager to give up.

It’s Purdy time! And time for Purdy’s ticks. We ask, what’s so special about mouse bile? We did some herb research on chervil and horsetail. Should we rename the podcast to “Vole Talk?” We’re finally on the mountain, and it only took ⅔ of the book to get there.

Finally back with another episode, we are. We talk about the super edition poll that got bot brigaded and some secrets divulged by Vicky Holmes. These travelogue chapters we covered were simultaneously the most boring, but also the most interesting due to the reappearance of Purdy. Another topic pondered was how cats might go about preserving animal hides.

On this day, we discuss the frequency of clan patrols and how they always appear just when you need them, one Queen’s haste to abandon her kits and clan, Brambleclaw cutting off Lionpaw mid-sentence only to say the exact thing Lionpaw was going to say, confusion regarding just how exactly Dovewing and Tigerheart are related, the sleepover in ThunderClan camp which no one from RiverClan was invited to, and the humiliating gossip Breezepaw endures.
