hey, we're back! some ... stuff happened in 2022 and we took an unplanned break. we've got a fair number of updates in this episode, and because of the gap since our last episode we're calling this the start of season 2. some brief show notes a

11(ish): now with more format (or any format at all)

Jul 17th, 2022 55m 23s

we’re back! we accidentally took a hiatus, but we are finally back behind the mic. if you were following the adventurecast experiment, the audio on the second half (adventurecast: the return journey) was absolutely awful. so here’s the gist of

greetings from louisville where we are either experiencing a redbud winter (a winter that interrupts spring), or we are seeing a tail end episode of spring of deception (a spring that interrupts winter).this week’s episode was a bit of a rush j

right. so i (jahnna) have taken over the show notes. at least for now. so this week, josh told me that i oughtn’t envision a more just and equitable world because that’s a big ask, so i started smaller by envisioning a more just and equitable o

...except the mongols

Mar 12th, 2022 52m 43s

once again, i (josh) intended to put better show notes in here. perhaps, someday, i will. guess you'll just have to listen if you want to know what we talked about. it definitely involved mongols somehow. kind of. and some general life updates

things we don't like

ah, well... i don't really have time for show notes today. jahnna is reading Radium Girls and i'm reading Sartre. other show mentions include Tori Amos, Little Women, Ani DiFranco, Liz Phair, Alanis Morisette, and probably some other stuff. you

all we do is dogs and books

Jan 29th, 2022 58m 43s

as the title suggests, our protagonists discuss both dogs and books, and how we, as a culture, underestimate kids' reading capabilities and emotional capacities. also, Animal Crossing. beware spoilers for I'm Thinking of Ending Things.links to

Jan 15th, 2022 56m 32s

jahnna and josh are back to give you a year-end wrap-up. sort of. we sort of ramble, as always, as the words escaping our mouths struggle to keep up with our brains. in episode 5, we find some things that didn't suck about 2021, as well as desi

in episode 4 our protagonists talk smack on a rather obscure text called The Return of the King, and also The Hobbit. and except for josh struggling to form cohesive sentences, you'll also hear about:The Heroine with 1001 Facespuppets discussin

good news, everyone! the audio quality of episode two is markedly better than in episode one! i'm (josh) learning great stuff about audio editing! no weird gaps! background noise removed!bad news, everyone! we were both tired and unprepared whe

excellent, but flawed

Nov 6th, 2021 1h 14m

jahnna and josh talk for a while. wren breathes loudly in the background and occasionally barks. if you don't know us -- heck, even if you do know us -- it may be difficult to follow. we jump around [cue music] topics a bit (a lot). spoiler ale
