Science Friction with Asterios Kokkinos

  THIS WEEK'S MISSION:   THE GREAT VOYAGER DEBATE!!   No joke: my two guests Marly Halpern-Graser & Josie Campbell love Voyager. Josie likes it more than Deep Space Nine, which is insane to me, but god damn if she didn't make some pretty compelling points. We spend over a goddamn hour REALLY hashing out Voyager.   It's an intense thrill ride of non-stop pedantry, ONLY ON SCIENCE FRICTION!!!     THIS WEEK'S CREW:   Marly Halpern-Graser     |     @MarlyHG Josie Campbell     |     @CozyJamble     PRODUCED BY ZWICK!!!

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

I talk with two of my favorite people – animation writers Marly Halpern–Graser & Josie Campbell school me on how to write for Batman, The Teen Titans, and pretty much all the DC superheroes that you've ever seen on Cartoon Network. 

Plus: we talk about how we're GOING to talk about Voyager, but never get around to it, so you'll hear that in the NEXT episode!

Hey! If you've already seen this episode on my YouTube station – apologies. If not...listen up! And watch the fun at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59jpi5dIKLE

We bought a porg! He's gigantic and adorable, and you'll hear all about him in this brand new episode of Porg Chatter.

How can you possibly come back from calling your teacher "Dad?"

What happens when you and your edgelord friends grow up?

And what do you do when a girl tells you she likes you, you run away from that girl, an older boy tries to talk to you about it, and you beat the shit out of him?

Find out, on this week's episode of ASTERIOS KILLS A KID!

Welcome to the unreleased pilot episode of PORG CHATTER! In this week's episode, Serancho and I discuss the world's most important fictional characters – PORGS – and how we can help Disney sell more of them.

Wasp sting your friend? 8th graders steal your snowball? A girl has bigger boobs than you? This episode's all about getting your revenge.

This is Producer Jesse welcoming you to another episode of Asterios Kills a Kid! If at any point while listening to the following you think, "Man, I know a kid with problems way more fucked up than this," go find that child, place them in front of a computer, and get them to submit their questions at www.asterioskillsakid.com.

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

I'm joined by my comedy heroes from the legendary Chicago sketch comedy troupe Superpunk! You can hear their podcast here – I suggest starting with episode 11.

Welcome to Waifu Wars! It's a YouTube series where me and Sirancho interview REAL ANIME NERDS and help them find the two-dimensional love of their lives. You can watch the video here.

In our first episode, which was actually made months ago but fuck it, we meet "Chuck." He's a real-life meme, as the commander of "Fort Waifu."

He loves two different fictional girls – Louise something, and Misaka something. I know nothing about them, and he seems creepily into their panties. Let's listen!
