Find a cat bed and some apricots, and prepare to upgrade your chicken! While Jason’s away, we play Embark’s hit game “Arc Raiders”, a multiplayer extraction shooter where people can… be nice to each other? (Most of the time, anyway.) We talk survival tips, resource management, and—to nobody’s surprise—John’s got some opinions on the user interface.

Host Brian Warren with panelists Ben McCarthy, John Siracusa, and Chip Sudderth.

"ARC Raiders"

Host Brian Warren with John Siracusa, Ben Rice McCarthy, and Chip Sudderth.

Get out your space swiffers and prepare to visit the Dry Moon of the Fish People! It’s time to discuss the change-of-pace episode “Ko’Zeine,” which we found to be… fine. If this is the baseline for “Starfleet Academy,” that’s good news, but we do have some thoughts on all the ways this episode failed to rise above being perfectly cromulent. We do love that Warp Slug, though.

Hosts Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Natalie has a job interview with Saturday Night Live. Tension at the studio builds as everyone worries about the future of the network. I don’t think you should be worried, though. Sure, there may be bells. There may be a siren. But Lex and Brian will be with you every step of the way.

Hosts Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Things are starting to heat up for Simon and Trevor as they find themselves embroiled in some classic misunderstanding hijinx. It’s out of the frying pan and into the audition for our mismatched thespian pals as we cover episodes 5 and 6 of Marvel’s Wonder Man. Then in our Superhero Sweep segment we have a chat about the upcoming Spider-Noir starring none other than Nick Cage himself.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

ICYMI: What does it mean to be famous?

Welcome to Missed Connections, a new-ish game with some familiar twists, in which two pairs of contestants try to guess words and then find the hidden bonds that connect them together. Lex will always tell you when he knows the answer, but unfortunately for him, the players still have to take turns.

Listener Gregory thinks Pop-Tarts are pies. We have ratio questions. Also: We remember so many burned palates caused by calzones and McDonald’s fruit pies.

Hosts John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

This one gets pretty dark, with a training mission that goes horribly wrong, leading to casualties. Meanwhile, Holly Hunter watches Paul Giamatti chew scenery (in the best possible way). Plus, don’t forget the YA-mandatory and story-arc-relevant sexy times!

Hosts Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
