Nargles and other Nonsense

Twilight is back and more terrible than ever! And so is our audio! Sorry about that, but this is our final episode we record half a world apart. Next time you hear from us, we will be back in the basement, and up to our regular shenanigans!

Happy summer everyone! Hope you are all finding ways to keep it cool like us cool kids. But don't worry, this Twilight episode definitely doesn't turn up the heat. In fact, the romance in the series' third edition, Eclipse, is quite lack luster to put it nicely. (And we don't really put it nicely.)

Okay, so we are still on this Twilight journey. We know it's all downhill from New Moon, therefore we are excited to talk about how brown this movie is, and how Bella can't fully open her eyes. And yes, we discuss the book at some point. However, keep in mind we haven't read it since we were 16 and thrust into either team Edward or team Jacob, so details are a little foggy and perhaps tainted? Sit tight as we deal with bad boyfriend material and video lag, because the two of us are still half a world away.

A special thanks to our loyal listeners for sticking it out through the past year and all the changes that have occurred. We are still ironing out some wrinkles, but ready to continue with all the nonsense you know and love!

Vampires:  a tale as old as time. So why did we all get hooked, and then subsequently hateful of this series? Twilight continues to baffle us. So join the shady ladies as we beat the crap out of this book and movie. Oh, and did we mention that this is also a four part series? Maybe part four will even be split into two parts, because we need to drag out the pain a little longer. Thanks as always for listening!

First of all, we apologize for the hiatus we have been on. If you are wondering why, where, who, how, etc., then just listen to this episode because we get into it. But not without also addressing Animal Crossing, German traffic patterns, and sweaty dance classes. Also it is time to dig up all our high school shame, as next time we begin to discuss TWILIGHT. Again, sorry for the break, but we are so glad to be back cackling with you all!

We're back again and later than ever before! You didn't think we'd go a year without a Halloween episode, did you? Lucky for us, Halloween isn't just a day. It's a state of mind. Plus, we recorded this the day after Halloween, so we were still feeling spooky. Anyway, this week we're talking about haunted places in Buffalo. We've got all the classic spooks: haunted theaters, forts, and train stations. But if you're not a fan of the spooky, rest assured we spend a lot of time discussing Buffalo food and hometown classics. Make sure you try the sponge candy.

Thank you for the patience as we transition our format and go through some life changes right now. If you listen to even 5 minutes of an episode we are so grateful. Lots of love to you!

HELLO ITS GABY WE LITERALLY RECORDED THESE IN SEPTEMBER I JUST DIDN'T POST THEM UNTIL NOW 2020 AMIRITE. I haven't posted the podcast in so long, it's nice to see you all again. How are you? I hope you enjoy this long awaited episode, I will make it up to you somehow! Anyway, go read the episode description I wrote!!

Today on our very serious literary podcast, we decided to talk about the 90's TV Shows that made us into readers. You may enjoy this show if you still hum the theme song from The Reading Rainbow. If you wish that your library was run by lions. If the word "Wishbone" means more to you than a Thanksgiving tradition. Or if you came home from school excited to see the adventures of a church mouse. Off topic tangents include in-depth discussion of the Redwall series, Community, and NOT talking about Star Trek.

What do Waluigi, Westley from the Princess Bride, Jess Mariano, and Geralt from the Witcher have in common? They're all bad boys. You know we can't resist those leather jackets (or long purple overalls), defiant attitudes and smoldering eyes. On this podcast, we've taken it upon ourselves to tier rank all the bad boys we could think of (sort of). Find out which boys we would marry, who we thirst after, and who we pretend we do not see. Tangents include Gaby not liking blonde men, full plot summaries of Gilmore Girls, and the fact that we tried to record this podcast three times. Let us know what you think and if you love a bad boy. Sidenote: the next book we'll read together is The Devourers by Indra Das. We're planning to discuss the book in the beginning of October so stay tuned!

Welcome back to our very on topic, very serious literary podcast. This episode we wrap up our discussion on Tomi Adeyemi's amazing book, Children of Blood and Bone. Like I said, this is a very serious discussion that we waste absolutely no time getting to. We do not make absolutely any jokes. We do discuss an epic sword fight, a tragic betrayal and a cliffhanger ending. And if you haven't yet, read the book to experience it for yourself! Thanks for reading with us and thank you for listening as we figure out our new format. We've got some fun episodes coming up and we'll announce our next book club pick soon!

Welcome back to our nonsense book club! We're still enamored with Tomi Adeyemi's Children of Blood and Bone. This week we're covering the first half of the book. So if you haven't read it, watch out for spoilers! Of course, we have to talk more about flip flopper Inan, the relationship between Binta and Amari, and one of the coolest settings in the book....that reminded Casey of Mario? We probably get a little off topic in the meantime. If you've read the book with us, let us know your favorite moments! Next episode, we'll discuss the climactic ending and give our final thoughts on this amazing story.
