Twigging Onto Twig

Dante and Tommy start the second arc of Twig! These are some very talk-heavy chapters, which give us a lot to talk about as well.

Dante and Tommy are back to discuss life as a new parent, and also talk a little bit about Taking Root 1.7 & 1.8. Also, please disregard Dante's cat shouting in the background - she has already been fed.

Discussion question: Tell us about your favourite use of cloning technology in fiction.

Tommy is taking some time off, so instead of our usual content we bring you our "demo" episode, a conversation about a short story by Wildbow called Boil.

Note: although we have a spoiler warning for Twig and other Wildbow works, we don't really spoil anything in this conversation.

Dante and Tommy read Taking Root 1.5 & 1.6. We meet one of the culprits, and learn about mind-altering parasites.

Discussion question: tell us your favourite terrifying parasite fact, or invent your own!

Dante and Tommy read Taking Root 1.3 & 1.4. The plot thickens!

Discussion question: Tell us what questing party roles you would give to each of the Lambsbridge orphans!

Dante and Tommy talk about Taking Root 1.1 & 1.2. They tried to keep the discussion under an hour, but weren't quite able to manage it.

Discussion question, continued from last time: Tell us what you want to hear from us in this podcast (or what you want to hear less of--any suggestions to improve our show will be appreciated!)

Dante and Tommy introduce the podcast, and read the "About" page.
