This might as well just be "Words About Thrawn". This blue alien has come in and just taken over the podcast. I think if you count the bonus super-cut we have, as of this week, talked about Thrawn for 13 episodes. Thrawn has tied with Dune! He
The gang is taken prisoner by sentient spiders. Fortunately, Bilbo has a very particular set of skills that makes him a nightmare to spiders like these.Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - https://twitter.com/wabpodI

In this chapter the squad finds themselves in Queer Lodgings as guests of a giant, muscular, half-man half-bear. You know, Tolkien was right, language is fun.Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - https://twitter.com/w
This week we wrap up an early Dune Month with the final part of Heretics of Dune! Including an interesting fight between Duncan and an Honored Matre that involves plans within plans and a beefstick. You've been warned now.Support the showDiscor
This is a short chapter and a suspiciously long run time. I really hope we didn't go on any long tangents about the deep theological conundrums inherent in Tolkien's mythology...Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - h
We have a special guest, James of https://ifyouwantthegravy.wordpress.com/ here to help us understand this ground breaking medium of sight and sound that the kids are calling "movies". We'll be talking about Part 2 of Dune. Will this adaptation
Bilbo finds a magic ring and riddles for his life. I'm sure it's just a regular magic ring that turns you invisible and not some soul-crushing doomsday weapon. Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - https://twitter.com
We're back with Heretics of Dune! Or Dune V-II. Today we advance slowly into the story a little further, kind of like how Frank advanced slowly into the story in this book. That's the WAB treatment at work! You get little hints and bits and pie
The gang learns that thunderstorms are just giants playing football. Gandalf may or may not be in possession of weapons grade explosives. A lot more pony's are explicitly left to die than you might expect from a children's book. Support the sho
It's that time again: Dune month. If you're wondering why it's early this year its because the movie came out and we want that SEO. We're talking about Heretics of Dune. The fifth book in Frank Herbert's Dune series. It is not what the movie is
The gang takes a short, tiny, small...2-week long...rest. If you got invited to hang out with Elrond, you wouldn't be very quick to leave either. But just who is Elrond? Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - https://t

Bilbo begins his adventure. He runs 2 miles in under 20 minutes, and he even tries his hand at pick pocketing. Maybe there's more to this hobbit than meets the eye. Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - https://twitte

Ben once said that if we ever covered Tolkien it would have to be an entirely different podcast. Nate said "Ok." Now here we are, talking about Tolkien. On this podcast we will go through Tolkien's books chapter by chapter adding context and di
This week we're taking a look at a Japanese murder mystery from the 40's. Written by the legendary Seishi Yokomizo, whose work only recently became available in English, The Honjin Murders is a locked room mystery in the style of Agatha Christi
We're wrapping up our discussion of The Deep Sky by diving into the plot and the murder mystery. Follow along and see if you can guess which of the background characters did a pow pow and the see if you can guess their really stupid motivation.
