Podcast 13

We're back for Claudia's first mission as an apprentice, and our first episode of 2022!!! Join us and this week's expert, Dr. Dayanna Knight -- archaeologist and creator of the Viking Coloring Book Project -- to discuss episode 207, "For the Team." To learn more about Dayanna's work, visit dayannaknight.com.

*Contains spoilers.* In this special bonus episode, Jill and Miranda share all our thoughts about today's phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime Bering and Wells reunion panel, which took place on April 17 at ClexaCon virtual 2021! The women of the warehouse spilled SO much tea about their commitment to representing queerness and engaging with their fans during a liberating panel organized by queer folks, for queer folks. Of course, we are also eternally grateful to the incomparable Dana Piccoli for moderating the panel, and we also share a few highlights from Podcast 13's very own "Women of Warehouse 13" trivia quiz & social hour!

ClexaCon Virtual 2021 will take place this weekend, April 16-18. Join us for three days of fun with your favorite actors, creators, authors, podcasters and more! Three-day passes are available for as low as $25, or a suggested donation of $45. Click here to register! Jaime Murray AND Joanne Kelly are getting together for a once-in-a-lifetime virtual Bering and Wells panel. The exact time is TBA, but we currently expect Saturday, April 17. And we are thrilled to announce our tie-in event: A Women of Warehouse 13 Trivia Quiz! It’ll most likely take place around lunchtime the day of the panel, exact info TBA.

In this first half, we dance to Mrs. Frederic's new theme music and enjoy two fabulous actor's spotlights: on J.P. Manoux (That Guy!) and Tia Carrere (Pete's old flame, Kate). We address the heavy themes of alcoholism and PTSD, have a "Words on Surfaces" segment, and were just about to get into the Telegraph Island Telegraph when Miranda's phone mic turned off, prompting us to re-record our expert interview and split the episode into two separate releases. For updates, follow us on Twitter and make sure you're subscribed on your favorite pod catcher to get Part 2 as soon as possible! Thanks for your patience as we encountered numerous technical issues with this old recording -- 206 isn't a long episode; we just wanted to avoid making you wait any longer :)

Podcast 13 is back to slay the nightmare that has been 2020! We love you, we've missed you, and we're so happy to return to publishing episodes every other Tuesday night. In our discussion of "13.1," we consult 19th-century media historian Dr. Amanda Shubert (University of Chicago) for insight into Max Wertheimer's zoetrope. We are also very excited to discuss the crossover between Warehouse 13 and Syfy's Eureka, featuring Douglas Fargo! Our actor's spotlight is bittersweet, as we celebrate the life and work of the late René Auberjonois, who plays Hugo. Huge thank you to our Patrons for covering our hosting fees even during our hiatus; we've also recently revamped our website and are in the process of bringing you lots of bonus content to show our appreciation :)

Join your BFF Jill and the newly-minted Dr. Butler in Podcast 13's long-anticipated return! You can expect new episodes in your feeds on December 11, December 22, and January 5. We are so grateful to our amazing Patreon supporters, who can hear a our full 30-minute conversation on Patreon, too :)

(Content Warning: This episode contains in-depth discussions of body image issues and eating disorders.) We're back for Part 2 of episode 204, "Age Before Beauty." We were so excited that our Artifact Expert of the week, Dr. Christine Adams (St. Mary's College of Maryland) answered our artifact-related questions AND watched this episode to provide us rich perspective on the roles that "age" and physical "beauty" have played in women's lives throughout history.

As you may remember, we said on our Patreon page that once we got enough funding to pay for our website hosting fees, we would start posting complete uncut Artifact Expert Interviews on our website. We've officially hit our first goal -- THANK YOU so much! :) :) We're not going to put every interview on our actual podcast feed, but you should start to see downloadable mp3s from all of our previous episodes' historians start showing up on a new tab on our website over the next several months. To kick this off, I wanted to begin with this uncut recording of Jillian's description of the Hollywood Blacklist, and the way that Spartacus as a film ties to the history of the Jewish-American community. Enjoy!

We're back! (If you're listening in the future, our ClexaCon announcement ends at minute 00:06:15.) This was a very cathartic episode for us, since Jill and I have both been dealing with some health issues over the past month. But finally, we got this episode out and are thrilled to share the love and positivity with all of you! Grab a bowl of popcorn, and join us for a discussion of WOC representation, the crossover between Jewish-American history and the 1960 film classic Spartacus, and a spotlight on the marvelous Colombian-American actress Paula Garcés (Dr. Kelly Hernandez). We've also dropped a ton of deleted scenes from our podcast recording on our Patreon page.
