Thank you so much to Heather for commissioning this episode!
I'm back with the team, and there's all kinds of interesting developments. It turns out that humanity is actually a back-up colony of less advanced Incarna, in case all of them die in the war with the Jenagyr. That's kind of rude, and I'm offended. But also, I like that there's potential for me to eventually have powers in this equation.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode!
These chapters are the ones in which our crew begins their journey to the center of the labyrinth, and start to get an idea of just what they're going to be up against. Only an *idea*, you understand, because shit is pretty mild thisearly on. Meanwhile there's a whole thing that I am excited about between Jai Long and Wei Shit Kelsa, and I'm HERE for it!
Thanks for listening, everyone, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Roy for commissioning this episode, and for joining me for this recording!
These three episodes are the ones that focus on Usopp's fight with Miss Merry Christmas and Mister Four, and occasionally skip over to Sanji fighting Mister Two. There's not a lot of Vivi in these episodes, and no Luffy at all! I'm hoping to see him next time.
Thanks so much for listening, and see you soon!

Thank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode!
This episode is the one where the boys face off with the two hollow suits of armor that area inhabited by the souls of serial killers. In Ed's case, he's nearly bested simply because his arm gives out, while Al is being psychologically attacked in a way I never expected.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode!
In this episode we find out that one of the key ingredients required to make the Philosopher's Stone is a human life, which I am pretty sure most of us had figured already. Meanwhile, the sweet summer children who are guarding Ed and Al seem totally surprised that the government would EVER be involved in something like that.
LOL.

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode!
In these two episodes, I have to go on a rant. I'm just getting very annoyed with Vivi, and I was so hopeful that after a few moments of the show seeming to be aware of the way she's been portrayed that they were going to address that. But no.
However, I'm pretty into Miss All Sunday. She's dope.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode!
I am so nervous now because the vacation is now officially over and we're getting into the fray again. Can I just tell y'all how much I don't want to do this right now, with a weird psuedo-Dross tagging along? I just...look I love the team and I believe in them, but I'm worried.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you next week with a new episode!

Thank you Max for commissioning this episode!
This is the one where our dudes go get their metal parts repaired by Pinako and Winry, and Ed zeros in on an alchemist who has successfully made some close approximations of the Philosophers Stone. CLOSE. But not quite.
I get mad at Ed.

Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode!
These chapters are the climax of both Nina and Zoya's stories, and honestly Nina's shit always winds up being so fucking epic and satisfying. I love her so much.
But Zoya, you know you my girl tho.

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode!

This is the one where Luffy finally gets to go up against Crocodile, and while his friends have total faith in him, it seems like maybe it was a little bit misplaced. Or at least optimistic.

Thanks for listening!
