"You can never wrong with a little pink, a lot works too." – Dana Dalgetty On this different style of episode, Anna & Lee discuss the topic of the much talked about but often misunderstood colour that is PINK! Diving into the history, biology, sociology, and even a bit of psychology of the much maligned colour, the two find a LOT of interesting and cool facts about the colour. And as always, there are many deviations and tangents, and a long screed by Anna about pink rocks and complementary therapies, that actually is kind of interesting if that's your bag, baby. But it was a fun episode with a lot to explore, and we encourage you to check out the stuf we talked about and as always find out more of what interests you about the subject!

"Too few people understand a really good sandwich." -- James Beard Anna takes over the whole production of this episode from recording to editing and does a fantastic job, as Lee checks out mentally from life. Joining her for this great debate is #1 Peeves & Q's fan, and impressive science communicator, it's Anna's mother Vera aka Mummalogue! The two ladies take on the definition of what is a sandwich, and whether or not a hotdog can be classified as a sandwich. Prescriptivist vs descriptivist, who will win?! Semantic debate, and law versus science ensues as the debate rages, and there's even a clever Shakespeare joke in there too for the literati, so listen out for that.

"This is what I say: I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, you don't have to worry, you can't change the past. The bad news is, you don't have to worry, no matter how hard you try, you can't change the past." -- Charles Yu; 'How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe' It's the first episode of Season 2 of the podcast! Today's topic starts off with a light-hearted spin but suddenly gets oddly serious, and discussions about paradoxes and ethics ensue, and we step into contentious territory we probably should have stayed out of looking back at it, but what's done is done now I guess. Anyway, it was a bit of a hodge-podge mess after our break but we settled in eventually, and we look forward to the next topic!

"May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions." -- Joey Adams

On this, the final episode of season 1 of Peeves & Q's, Anna is unfortunately unable to record, so guest co-host Andrew joins Lee to talk about New Years Resolutions, the history of them and the reasons behind why we make them and why we fail. Along the way, there are tangents aplenty as is our way, and a lot of discussion about why failure is important.

In this special Christmas episode of the Peeves & Q's Podcast, Pastor Dare Stevens (UMC) joins us to talk about the commercialisation of the Christmas season, and whether or not we have lost the Reason for the Season. Along the way we find out about the long history of the argument, tackle the different perspectives between the secular person, the business person, and the religious person, and how they perceive the commercial aspect of Christmas, and ponder what a modern Christmas really looks like and how we probably should be approaching the season as a whole. A very heartwarming and comfy episode for you this holiday season!

"There is nothing welcoming about the notion that a positive reception, from a group or an individual, is based more on what you are than who you are." -- Kevin A. Patterson

In this episode, we're joined by special guest Tanya (@lunauria) to discuss the problem with Western society's prevalance for fetishising Asian people and culture. We go over the history of fetishisation, the lack of understanding by Westerners about just how much impact it has on the lives of Asian people, analyse some disturbing trends in pornography, and we look at the inter-community turmoil that prevents true pushback against the denigration of all minority communities. Plus, Lee rants about an ancient symbol and Anna gets slightly emotional toward the end.

"Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it." -- Haruki Murakami In this episode of Peeves & Q's we cover the topic of what happens after you die! We look at the different alternatives to traditional burial. We look at funerary rites through the ages going back over 100,000 years, and discuss some of the different ways cultures treat death and the bodies of their loved ones. And Anna looks at different ways to dispose of Lee's body throughout the episode, leading to Lee feeling like he should sleep with one eye open!  Be sure to follow @PeevesQsPod on Twitter for more polls, and if you like what you hear and would like to support us with some of your hard earned dollarydoos, visit patreon.com/peevesqspod and check out our tiers for some sweet incentives.

On this rather personal episode to Lee, we are joined by Anna's friend Courtney to talk about the topic of asexuality and its place within the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. Along the way we cover what being ace is and is not, the perception of asexuality from both within and without the LGBTQIA+ community, and there's even a joke about having sex with a hamburger in there somewhere.  Be sure to follow @PeevesQsPod on Twitter for more polls, and if you like what you hear and would like to support us with some of your hard earned dollarydoos, visit patreon.com/peevesqspod and check out our tiers for some sweet incentives.

It's a SPOOWOOKY SPECIAL on the pod, with an un-numbered and unscheduled episode all about HALLOWE'EN and we have brought back Cat our resident expert in all things creepy and horror filled, to talk to us about this seasonal event and why it is that it's seen as a contentious one in the Australia & New Zealand region! We had some technical hiccups but the zombies responsible have been shot in the head (double tapped for good luck of course) and hopefully that's taken care of that.

A surprise guest appears! The ever cheeky and fun Majickman joins us on the most technically difficult episode for our first THREESOME RECORDING, YAY! (ed note: Anna's words, not mine!) and boy did we have some stuff to say. Things actually got almost heated at one point as Anna cracks the tangent whip and pulls the podcast back into line...or at least she tried anyway. We cover the topic of HACKTIVISM and whether or not it was a valuable tool for social change. And along the way we covered a very close to home story related to a recent alleged hacktivism event and the very real consequences of well intentioned yet ultimately flawed actions.
