A special preview of the non-Silo podcasting that has been (also) keeping Elysia busy this month: get an overview of the Lorehounds' 2025 Oscars prep series, already in full swing (see links below).

This quick episode (a crossover from the Lorehounds feed with a new intro) lays out the basics: what to know about the ceremony on March 2, helpful tools, the scandals, fires, and other biggest stories of the season – setting the stage for a series designed for Oscar novices as well as geeks.

Basically: I watched all 50 Oscars movies so that you don't have to, and now you can let me and a bunch of insider guests break it all down for you, from what you might want to watch yourself to what's most likely to win.

The 97th Academy Awards airs Sunday, March 2, 2025 at 7 pm (on ABC in the US)
