What lives in the line between fact and fiction in the podcasting world? Well this week Wil and Gavin rent a cabin there and this metaphor is off the rails. Whoops. W&G talk about the ethical questions in presenting fictional content as real, discuss some things that have done this well, some that haven't and recommend some awesome podcasts.

Oh and Gavin tries a ginger soda, because reasons.

This time around Wil and Gavin demonstrate (sort of) how they will go about reviewing/critiquing podcasts submitted during their upcoming contest From The Sound Up. They do so by digging up an episode of a long-dead public domain sci-fi radio drama and review it as if it were a brand new podcast lampooning 1950s sci-fi.

They have a lot of fun.

A handful of delightful audience questions in hand, Wil and Gavin spend some leisure time on a more lighthearted episode after recent heavy content. Listen as they talk about how not-following review submission guidelines is infuriating, pitch podcasts that should be TV shows, and other such fun podcast-y things.

This episode's jittery start is brought to you by WOW Cable. Wow: Pay us for internet and you'll maybe get it when you need it (you won't)!

Sail the spoiler seas as Wil and Gavin talk about the first three episodes of podcast juggernaut Serial's long-awaited third season. They start out optimistic until the third episode when Serial gets real Serial-y with a dash of S-Town.

While Wil was off having fun at Disney World Ely joined Gavin in a sobering discussion of some alarming unethical behavior we've been seeing crop up in podcasting. Join two alarmed reviewers as they talk about some big red flags, how they flirt with violating federal law, and a podcast or two that dabble in traditionally unethical fields (e.g. true crime) and do it well.

Wil and Gavin have been having some frustrating times trying to get Skype and Discord to work for recording TIDU. In an effort to find some alternatives we try them LIVE while recording the show, tune in to hear us see how Zencastr and Trycast sound, as well as showing what makes Discord and Skype suck so very hard for podcasting.

Seeking to take a break from heavy topics and feeling the feelings, this time around Wil and Gavin talk about three podcasts with simple premises that are fantastic because of the simplicity (and one mega-popular simple podcast that misses the mark).

Gavin tried recording this episode standing up in his living room, turns out his pop filter SUCKS, so PLOSIVES AHOY.

This week we talk about how fandoms can sometimes cross the line from passionate support of content into entitlement, and how fans in the podcasting community can take steps to check themselves before the wrecking of themselves happens.

Also, yes, Gavin sounds like he's in a garbage can ("where I belong" he says) and yes, he is planning on re-recording his side of the conversation later this week. Consider this version of the episode a rare special edition that is objectively worse than the one history will remember!

Set sail for the spoiler seas as Wil and Gavin do something with ropes and a wooden wheel is involved to, like, fulfil the sailing theme of the series. This time around the two intrepid podcast nerds discuss the newest interlude episode of The Adventure Zone.

Well, they intend to, but get distracted. I promise it all comes back around in the end.
