  • LET'S MAKE A CULT

    Greetings, SaysWhovians!  This week, Dan and Maureen are getting ready for our third Hot COVID Summer, now with even more COVID! Maureen has to go and take care of her dad, so they had to record early. Everything, as usual, is fine. Except for all the COVID. And the white supremacists. And the weird gatherings at Mar-a-Lago.

    Okay. So maybe things aren’t fine. Maybe it’s time to formalize SaysWhovia into a cult compound. But a good one! With snacks and naps. It’s time, though. Would you like to sign up?

    Get your robes. We’re going to the big tent.

    Grab a bag of dips, SaysWhovia. We’re back!

  • A Judy Blume Bonus!

    SaysWhovians! Maureen and Dan are both up against some hard deadlines and couldn't get this week's episode recorded. But never fear! Maureen had an idea: Let's pull an episode from the Town Watch, our nearly-weekly bonus feed over on the Patreon, and share it with everyone!

    So, from April 4, 2021, here's an episode where Maureen tells the story of hanging out with Judy Blume at her home in Key West Florida. 

    Judy Blume has had her books banned for decades now, is an inspiration to us all, and also exactly who you would hope she is. 

    Enjoy and see you next week!

  • CABIN PRESSURE

    Today we’re taking a trip. Please find your seats. Masks? No masks here! IT’S A PODCAST. Besides, who needs masks anymore? Right?

    Dan and Maureen process the surprise end of the mask mandate and delve into the weird goings on at the Happiest Place on Earth, where events continue to conspire to keep them away. They just want a Dole Whip. It’s been six years. Disney is under attack by Governor DeSantis, as well as a gaggle of truly strange protesters. Florida continues to Florida. Also, Maureen talks about book banning, textbooks, and then balls come into the picture.

    Fasten your seat belts! This is going to be a bumpy flight!

  • F*CK AMOUSE AND FIND OUT

    Boo hoo! Maureen has been attacked by a plant. She has had a week and has been encased in bubble wrap. That’s okay—Dan’s been absorbing the news for her while she grows a new eyeball. Or something.

    There is actual good news! A union organizer successfully beat Amazon! Kicking Bezos in the balls is the SaysWhovian way! Meanwhile, another battle looms: the right wing has gone full-on against Disney. It’s Fox versus Mouse time, and things are getting weird.

    There is so much Disney in this one. It’s all coming full circle.  Will Disneyland soon be free of red hatted-Republicans, driven away by their leaders and infotainers? Will Dan and Maureen be able to ride the Haunted Mansion 25 times in a row without fear of anti-maskers? And why is Dan talking about the 2024 elections so much? Why won’t he stop?

    Get in line, SaysWhovia. Let’s ride Space Mountain.

  • SEVEN HOURS IN THE BUNKER

    Maureen has returned from England, and she has tales to tell! She was in the woods! The fields! She saw a horse! She had tea! She has been around so much COVID! SO MUCH COVID. Meanwhile, Dan fought a tree and lost.

    Because Maureen has been blissfully unaware of what the hell is going on, Dan has to break it to her. There has been news. It refuses to stop happening, the news. Everyone in the White House has COVID. There are strange doings in the January 6th investigation. Traitors and dirtbags abound. And there is a mysterious hole in the records of what Trump was up to on January 6th, 2021. A seven hour hole. IT’S THE NEW WATERGATE! Maureen has been ready for this her entire life!

    Also, she has a terrible thing to tell everyone. She has a bucket. Dan makes it weird.

    Get your burner phones, SaysWhovia. We’re meeting in the basement garage.

  • SMOKE 'EM IF YOU GOT 'EM

    Strap on your lifevests, it's time to take a ride! 

    Maureen is back from her first trip and she has stories to tell, stories of signage and toilets and more signage and more toilets, and also a secret message left just for her. Dan is entranced. It has been a long time since he has been anywhere. This is like hearing from Shackleton.

    Meanwhile, there is news about Disney. And morons. And yachts. All of this is important, but did you know that teenage Dan had a theremin?

    These are weird times, but Dan and Maureen have got your back. In fact, they want to take you away on a confiscated yacht. So get on board. This time, we’re really doing it.

    Toot toot!

About Says Who?

From the publisher's feed

In 2016, two friends—and author and a journalist--sat down to ride through the final weeks of the Presidential election by talking to the journalists covering it. They thought they were doing eight episodes. They were wrong. What started as a short trip has become a long and strange journey. They’ve gotten weird. They’ve made friends along the way. Mostly, the weird part, though.
