Welcome, dear listeners, to the inaugural episode of Talk Cycles! A spiritual successor to our time in the Podcast of Power, where we take a monthly meander through contemporary animation. This week, we find ourselves once again navigating the labyrinthine Infinity Train in Book 2: Cracked Reflection.

Hop on board with us as we discuss the narrative of a teenage metallic being/trans allegory with complicated baggage surrounding her name, Jenny Wak- I mean, MT, as she rides the rocky rails of friendship, identity, and pet ownership (with that last one being more complicated than you might think, considering the abilities of our newfound friend Alan Dracula).
