Thank you very much to Kyle for commissioning this episode!
These chapters are each very delightful in their own ways. First, we get to find out that Volyu is not getting the rewards for his betrayal that he was expecting, and is in fact being sent back to his people in such a way that he may wind up getting punished if there's any justice. Also, Toof and Radia are not traitors! They were helping! YAY!
But my personal favorite, unsurprisingly, was the first installment of Restaurant Wars.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you in a couple weeks with a new episode!

Thank you to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode!
These are the ones where we finally get to see what Frankie is made of...and it turns out he's made of a lot more metal than I expected. Also, we've got the shooting of Icebarg, and I'm really not sure what the hell the deal is with Nico Robin being involved. I'm not SURPRISED she's involved, but I don't understand it.
Oh also there's a giant storm coming and the whole bottom part of the island is going to be underwater soon!
Thanks so much for listening, everyone, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode!
It's the final chapters of this book, but it's certainly not the end of the story. There are a lot of fun and delightful surprises packed in this section, one of which almost made me cry with relief, and another that made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I am SO excited for what comes next, and desperate as well. I hope we get a sequel soon!
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode of something!

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode!
I'm so glad that I got a little respite from all the horrific atrocities that have been happening to just chill with the food workers and theatre kids. They're a delightful crew, and I'm looking forward to them managing to at least thwart and possibly take down a man who is not only a selfish greedy piece of shit, but also the kind of scum who agrees to traffic human beings.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with the next 2 chapters!

Thank you so much to Asher for commissioning this remainder of this series!
It's the final chapters, and there is so much happening that despite assuring Asher that I would get to their questions about favorite moments in the book, etc, I wrapped without ever mentioning them again. Sorry, Asher! I will try to pick things up in the Discord, meet you there?
Thanks again so much to you all for listening, and I will see you again eventually with another series!

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode!
This is the one where Nandor needs some help with his love life and tries to enlist Laszlo to assist him in wooing a woman who works at his gym. That goes about as well as one could expect. Meanwhile, there's a power struggle between him and Nadja and I think it's very clear who comes out on top in the end.
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Trish for joining me on these episodes, which were very upsetting and it was good to have a friend to lament to about them.
These episodes are the ones where Usopp leaves the crew, and then challenges Luffy to a duel for the Going Merry. I hated them and they made me so sad and I don't know what the hell is going to happen now.
Thanks for listening, and for the moral support, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode!
These chapters are pretty rough. And though things are tinged with some hopefulness here and there, I swear to god I am going to need solid unmitigated win for human decency soon or I am going to LOSE it.
We've got Timu being forced to burn priceless historical artifacts and the bodies of nuns and priests, we've got Thera being betrayed and losing BOTH her children, we've got Tanvanaki's refusal to kill a woman who is fucking ALL her shit right up...SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!

Thanks for listening.

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode!
These chapters are pretty intense as Calder rushes to try some new things with the Emperor's powers, all in the midst of a pretty scary attack by Urg'naut that tears a chunk of the city into complete nothingness.
Meanwhile, there's a whole thing with Bliss and I love this so much.
Thanks a ton for listening, and I will see you soon with the final chapters!

Thank you Gabriela for commissioning this episode!
These two episodes focus on everyone learning that the Going Merry might not be reparable, and Luffy is having a really hard time with it. He seems to finally decide that it's time to say goodbye, but I'm not sure the rest of the crew is going to agree.
Meanwhile, poor Usopp is being used as a punching bag by the Frankie Family, who first stole 200 million berries and then best the shit out of him again when he tries to get it back.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you in a bit!
