If only, if only the woodpecker cries, this podcast would adhere to a regular schedule. Matt Skuta returns to discuss Louis Sachar’s beloved middle-reader, Holes. - Host John McCoy with Matt Skuta.

We’re back with even more randomly selected trivia questions from even more random editions of Trivial Pursuit! Star Wars! Doctor Who! Religion questions for kids! No subject is too obscure, and no question is too easy. - Host Erika Ensign with Annette Wierstra, Dan Moren, Deborah Stanish, Katrina Griffiths, Scott McNulty and Steven Schapansky.

It’s time for Shocktober 2018! We’re back in Seyvoth Manor, but not the one you may have heard before! It’s a new edition of D&D, a newly built version of the story, and most importantly, an entirely new group of players and characters. And there’s something strangely familiar, yet legally distinct, about the group. In this, the first of five episodes, our adventurers enter the house, debate the differences between a foyer and a vestibule, ponder if dogs are a kind of plant, and attempt a duet with a piano-playing ghost. - Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Annette Wierstra, Steve Lutz, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Jane Ritt.

We wrap up our rewatch of season 1 of “Game of Thrones” with a look at the aftermath of Ned’s death, how the centrality of Jon and Dany to the story are pretty obvious in hindsight, and the morality of Catelyn Stark’s beating a prisoner—even if the prisoner is Jaime Lannister and his family just killed her husband. And that final scene! It’s not nearly as impressive as we remembered it—which might be the most impressive thing about it, after all. See you next year! - Host Jason Snell with Monty Ashley and Brian Hamilton.

The third book in the “Arcadia Project” series is great, but start with “Borderline” if you haven’t read any of them—and if you’ve read the first two, be sure to bone up before diving in to book three. - Host Jason Snell.

Steven and Erika power through a recon and a moving episode. They’re mostly entranced, with one notable exception on Erika’s part. Then they somehow end up in Newfoundland. You never know what you’ll get on Lazy Doctor Who… - Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

It’s the eve of new Doctor Who and we couldn’t be more ready. Titan Comics is celebrating with a virtual giveaway of $300 worth of comics, including Paul Cornell’s last (he means it this time) work on Doctor Who. We talk to Paul, go over the news of the week, and compare notes on what it’s like to leave and return to Doctor Who fandom. - Host Chip Sudderth and Alyssa Franke with Rachel Donner, Paul Cornell and Shannon Sudderth.

What makes something a podcast? OMG, are we one?! - Host John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Highlights: Cole Porter, Ethel Merman, LCD Soundsystem (no, really), it’s on a boat, lots of different versions, rewriting the script, Glee, getting to Broadway shows on time. - Host Quinn Rose with David J. Loehr.

Ned’s dead, baby! This is the big moment. Arya and Sansa witness Ned’s confession that he’s a traitor, and in the end it doesn’t matter—Joffrey says “off with his head.” Also, Jon has a conversation with the show’s most interesting character, Dany fails to deal with the impending death of Drogo, and Tyrion makes a lousy warrior. - Host Jason Snell with Monty Ashley.
