Character Reveal

Explicit Content on this one, and alcohol mention. We're settling back into the normalcy of regular, non-holiday episodes. Although it was a fairly quiet week, we still had some things to chat about. We mourned a bit for the last gasps of 2016, Fancon and other conventions, Pittsburgh sports, Hidden Figures, and just some weird things in the nerdy space. Pony Island and Ariana Grande are mentioned in the same episode, and I'm not sure that's ever happened.

Definitely Explicit Content on this one, and alcohol mention. It's our holiday episode to end the year right! We're following in the risky tradition of having some drinks with our podcast, as a hopeful treat to the listeners. As well, we answered a bunch of fan questions that went in a bunch of different directions. Tons of Overwatch chat, Pokemon, Sports, Sex, what more could a geek want? Huge thanks to everyone who sent in questions, and we hope to do this more often. Thanks for all the support in 2016, and we hope to bring you even better in 2017!

Definitely Explicit Content on this one. And sorry about some audio quality. Okay, everyone! We're back from some of the weirdness we had going on, but we're strong as ever! There were racial highs and lows in Hollywood, spoiler free chat of Rogue One, news in Nightvale, Nintendo's mobile shenanigans, and Duck Tales. Disney took us on a weird turn. And lastly. Yes. Overwatch chat.

This one will be special for our Pittsburgh listeners! We got a chance to kick it with Mikey from the 96.1 FM morning show. We got right into the weirdness talking about Florida stories, some of the cool things we appreciate about Japan, furries, how Pittsburgh is a weird city, Top 40 radio stations as a concept, and lots of nerdy things thrown throughout. Definitely a fun one! Apologies for some audio quality, we were using an on-the-road setup, so there was some overlap and editing, but it is still legible and enjoyable!

Well hey, we got weird with this one. We started with anime trailers and the new Steven Universe! But, then we got into controversies, yay.

We're back and talking with Conrad Zimmerman, of the internet and video games! We went over so many things: There was movies and storytelling, then storytelling in games, a shift gears to underrated shows, aspirations and life paths. We also talked about what not to do at energy plants, copyright struggles and optimism. Also, we mention some election stuff as this was recorded weeks ago. It's around 56 minutes if you're burnt out from all that and lasts about 3-4 minutes. As well, we talk about some alcholism towards the end, but follow it with a related story to take the edge off. Explicit language on this one.

Definitely explicit language in this one. Last week was a hard one and we needed to vent some. Of course we discuss the election, so if that's been too stressful for you, please skip most of the first segment (go to about 14:50) But other than that! We talk about SNL, have some long anime talks, talk about Pacific Rim, and the Hamilton Mixtape. We managed to pull some fun into this one, and there's great music as always!
