June 26, 2017 Episode 09: So many topics (Part 3)
Finally, at long last, we get to the end of this episode. The "discussion" on Beauty and the Beast originally lasted for 2 and a half hours, obviously this had been truncated for your listening pleasures. Next month, new content! Beauty and the Beast

May 23, 2017 Episode 08: So many topics (Part 2)
Part 2 of this extremely long episode. It seems that we had so much to talk about that we had to split it up into another episode. So this episode would be about Book of Mormon, and we'll leave our thoughts on Beauty and the Beast for next month. Book of Mormon

April 25, 2017 Episode 07: So many topics (Part 1)
Last month's episode didn't go out due to problems with the recording, so we tried to cram all of last month's topics in with this month's topics. Needless to say, it didn't work. We did record all the topics in one session, but to avoid boring you with a three hour episode, we've split up the episode into two parts. For Part 1, Peter and I talk about LARP'ing about Kinky Boots, the Musical. Part 2 is about Book of Mormon and Beauty & the Beast (2017) and would be available next month. LARP

February 28, 2017 Episode 06: Seven Ancient Wonders
Serena avoids talking about Seven Ancient Wonders by going on about her latest fads. But when Peter finally gets her started on the book, she just couldn't stop - and it wasn't pretty. It may also be a bit incoherent. Seven Ancient Wonders

November 15, 2016 Episode 03: The Dispatcher
Peter wasn't able to watch Stranger Things in time for this episode, so we talk about John Scalzi's latest book, "The Dispatcher", instead. Peter complain about his first experience with audiobook, and we record in a McDonald's overseas. And those repeated comments about me not editing the recording before publishing? I lied. I couldn't just send out a raw file like that, so this episode had to wait till I could edit it back in Australia. The Dispatcher
