These episodes are the ones in which we wind up on a remote, wintry island in a land with no doctors. All they've got is an amazingly youthful, fashionable witch with a mean streak and a mean pair of bellbottoms. And honestly I think we could all stand to learn something from her about graceful aging and the power of negotiation.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Yama for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, we get to a really freaky destination that makes Nita feel so disturbed and upset that she's physically nauseous, which I deeply do not care for. Meanwhile, Dairine is going back to the original location of her ordeal and her creation of an alien robot race, and honestly it's pretty heartwarming. My heart is warmed.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you shortly with a new episode!

Thank you to Heather for commissioning this episode!
It's been a bit since the last episode covering Evolve, and we've moved along into some NEW POVs this time around. I'm very much into seeing Jordan through Brian's eyes, and I'm shocked at how insecure he is about her. I can understand it of course, but I didn't expect it based on the way he behaves around her. Which I guess is actually impressive!
Thanks for listening!

So these episodes introduce a new potential band of villains, as well as a pretty upsetting illness for Nami, which I DO NOT CARE FOR. I have to admit there was a fakeout in these eps that had me SO mad at Vivi and I'm SO GLAD I WAS WRONG!
Thank you all again so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Patricia for commissioning this episode!
This chapter is one where I start to get truly anxious in a way that doesn't feel totally safe. First of all, there's the fact that time is working against them and things are passing way faster on earth, which I can't imagine means anything good for us no matter where they happen to be. Then there's the fact that Nita's father is all cryptic and weird and seems to be doing badly but is extremely vague about what the hell is going on down there.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to George for commissioning this episode!
It's the last section of the booooook! Nooooooo!
That's all I have to say.

Thank you Patricia for commissioning this episode!
So in these chapters our friends split up into two teams, and Nita & Co. go to the Crossings and meet Skerrit's ancestor, while Dairine & Roshaun go to his home and she gets to meet the family. Both are very illuminating in their own ways, because Skerrit and Roshaun are each so clearly influenced by familial expectations and obligations.
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you again to Bernadette for commissioning this episode!
These episodes are all about getting our friends out of this bizarre, waxy jam they've gotten tangled in, and surprisngly the answer to all of their problems is NOT Sanji? Color me shocked! Instead, he turns out the be the one to save them in a much more long-term way, between getting an eternal pose and also getting Mr. 3 in trouble with Mr. 0.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you ever so much to George for commissioning this episode!
This is the penultimate episode of coverage of the Elder Empire series (so far at least) and I'm so sad about it. I really loved this pair of books, and I'm really enjoying getting to see the same story through two very different pairs of eyes. This leads to discovering things like what kind of potential Meia is working with, and that's something that fascinates me.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with the final episode!

Thank you to Yama for commissioning this episode!
So in these chapters, after getting the absolute worst news imaginable, our team is joined by an old flame, in more ways than one! Get it!? Because he's basically inhabited by a holy fire of goodness?
Also, there's a whole thing with Carmela starting to get into both Ronan and wizardry, and while Ronan is essentially on the table (albeit with some weird fine print), trying to horn in on the mission for wizardry is way out of her lane. I wonder though, will she turn out to have some power after all?
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
