The cohosts explore Olu's role as a grounding force in the series, including the importance of his relationships with other characters and the revelation that Olu is an excellent example of healthy masculinity and personal growth. The discussion also touches on fanfiction that expands Olu's story.

Resurfaced from the archive, its PilotPirate's podfic of 'when life gives you lemons,' originally aired Aug. 19, 2024.

It’s a gentlebeard lemonade stand meet-cute that’s described by fans as “Absolutely lovely and hot.”
