July 27, 2022 48: Lost in the (pink) sauce
This week, one of our hosts is finally, officially a lawyer! And the other knows too much about the pink sauce scandal. What's the pink sauce, you might ask? That's a great question. We'd also love to know what's in it. Also, Big Publishing™ is trying to sue the Internet Archive, and our Actual Lawyer™ tells us why we should care. Finally, we are entranced by the epic highs and lows of the Upper East Side french bulldog community. Links Libro.fm: use code WOW at checkout to get 2 audiobooks for the price of 1!

July 13, 2022 47: The pull out method
Are the brands okay? Is anyone ever okay? Is RadioShack, specifically, okay? Is Elon pulling out (of Twitter, we mean, get your head out of the gutter)? Who are the Gentleminions? Did Hank Green steal a lemur? And most importantly: what did Amanda eat at VidCon?

June 15, 2022 45: Into the Morbiverse
In this episode: Not going to sugarcoat it, this is a Morbius centric experience. We also discuss taco bell quarterly (a literary magazine unaffiliated with taco bell), disney adults, and Glossier's CEO stepping down, but who cares about that: it's morbin' time.

May 18, 2022 43: Vampire Gerard Way, Esq.
In this episode, we embrace the goth lifestyle and go back to basics. That is to say, we read Dracula. Daily. Along with 25,000+ people. It's a long story, okay. Also My Chemical Romance is back and half the hosts are excited about this, and it's not the half you'd think. Sometimes the internet is just a vehicle to embrace your inner emo kid, and sometimes it's a vehicle to lose a lot of money in a crypto meltdown. These are definitely equivalent things.

May 04, 2022 42: Oh no, not another Elon podcast!
Sorry for talking about Elon Musk again, but in our defense, he should stop doing things like "having a secret baby with Grimes" and "spending $44B on Twitter." That's right, Elon "Tesla stock at $420" Musk is likely buying Twitter, and meanwhile, you could briefly 420blazeit on Tumblr. On the bright side, at least the Destiel/political event nexus is still active?

April 20, 2022 41: Club Penguin Metabirkins (ft. Allison Mills)
Elon Musk is buying Twitter (or not?). Club Penguin is relevant again (or not?). Most importantly, audio editor extraordinaire/author/archivist Allison Mills joins us to talk about Birkin bags, appropriated blockchain-based Birkin bags, and appropriated-appropriated Birkin bags. Also, Isabel gets cancelled.

April 06, 2022 40: None pantry left bookcase
In this episode, half the hosts have contracted the [REDACTED], but we won't tell you which half unless you listen. But more importantly, half the hosts have never consumed canned soup, and we also won't tell you which half unless you listen. Also, Tumblr's actually good prank, Khloe Kardashian's pantry vs. Ashley Tisdale's bookcase, and Young Sheldon? It's content.

March 16, 2022 39: New baby just dropped
In this episode, we talk about dating, good names for wizards, and bad names for babies. AKA, Grimes is dating Chelsea Manning and had a second secret baby with Elon Musk, so sorry if you found out this way. Can we offer you a podcast episode in this trying time? Or maybe five Brandon Sanderson books?
