We're back! And we're doing something special. Alas, this episode can't be listened to on its own (well, it can, but it'll probably be boring as hell), because it's more of a... commentary. As in, us watching a movie and commenting along with it, in real-time -- in this case, the cheesy Netflix gem, "The Knight Before Christmas". Because what is jolly month without some cringe and ridiculous suspension of disbelief? So feel free to watch the movie along with us (it's encouraged), and give us your take on our theories of Vanessa Hudgens' character obviously being part of a crime family.

Today, as part of our mental health series, we're talking about failure. Failure and perfectionism, how it screws with people's lives and self-esteem, and how to find the silver lining. So come listen to our biggest failures! Plus some wisdom from the likes of Yoda and Rafiki (and also us).

It's Halloween! And things get... weird, in this very special episode. Instead of our usual fic-reading, we're doing a fic-madlibs kind of thing -- and auto-generated fic is truly a unique experience. So come listen to the adventures of Magnus Jr., breaking into rip-off Hot Topic, woolly mammoths, car-metaphors, and more. Happy Halloween!

It's the spooky season! Which means horror movie season. Or at least, an excuse for us to talk about horror movies for a double-episode-length amount of time. Favorite genres, least favorite genres, first times and scary vs non-scary... Spoiler: We're both into the supernatural stuff, and we also have a lot of recs for you. So grab some pumpkin-spiced thing of your choice and join us!

Today we're going where we've never gone before on this podcast: a/b/o fic. Or, a version of it. A gateway a/b/o fic, by la_muerta. It's a good time, join us.

Today we continue our mental health series with some of our own experiences and diagnoses, discussing what they entail and how they affect our lives -- bipolar disorder, anxiety, medication, and in particular, depression. Come for the relevant topics and stay for our long-ish customary digressions

We're back with our spin-the-wheel shenanigans! And this time, we have the lovely Lu (lecrit) joining us -- three writer brains to come up with ridiculous fic scenarios, this time. Office espionage, old western single dads, drag racing, and time travel/shapeshifter romance. It's wild.

In this episode, we finally get around to talking about something important we've been meaning to get to; mental health. Given the broad range of the topic, though, we've decided to make it a series -- to start it off, this episode is all about self-care. Join us! (And feel free to listen to some ambiance of your choice in the background.)

In this very special episode -- where our one-year podcast anniversary miraculously coincides with our 50th episode -- we're doing something a little different. It's still fic-related, but instead of reading, we're writing. Sort of. Spin the wheel, tropes galore, and four improvised, highly specific smutty scenarios with way too much plot, all for your listening pleasure. Happy birthday to us!

Today's episode is all about fandom! We've already talked extensively about fic (see our series, "Let's Talk About Fic, Baby"), and this time we're discussing the culture of fandom. Echo chambers, cancellation culture, creator interaction, and more. Join us.
