This week on Glee on the Rocks we're talking Season 5, Episode 2, "Tina in the Sky with Diamonds." The Glee Club is back on deck tackling the music of The Beatles in what is definitely not part two of the season premiere.

Glee on the Rocks: (S5E1) "Glee, Glee, Glee"
The halls of McKinley High are ringing with the first notes of a new season of Glee. This week we're talking Season 5, Episode 1, "Love Love Love." The New Directions are given one of their biggest assignments yet: The Beatles. Mr. Schuester has Nationals in his sights (though maybe not his timetable) and challenges the kids to master the Beatles' catalogue over two weeks. But one Blaine Anderson has even bigger things on his mind: a proposal that could change everything.
With Rachel's Broadway aspirations hanging in the balance and the Glee Club's chances to become a show choir dynasty closing in, this season is set up to be another chaotic ride through storylines and Glee's enduring quirks.
Welcome to Season 5 of Glee and Glee on the Rocks. Fearlessly and forever.

Glee on the Rocks: "Glee or Nothing" (4x22) Season 4 Finale
The final high notes have been sung, the last dance steps have been taken, and the curtain has fallen on another season of Glee. Grab your slushie and pull up a chair in the choir room, this week on Glee on the Rocks we're talking 4x22, "All or Nothing."
The Season 4 finale of Glee has arrived and we're here to break down all the show-stopping moments you've come to expect and we find out if our favorite glee club will triumph or fall flat. The New Directions are on the cusp of greatness, but before they can take the stage, they must navigate a minefield of personal challenges and unexpected twists. Brittany's startling academic revelation, the return of some beloved characters, and the pressure of performance all converge in a finale that's as unpredictable as a classic Sue Sylvester tantrum.
And of course we'll dissect that good ol' Glee dialogue that's so absurd it's genius, the song choices that will have you tapping your feet, and the writing decisions that will leave you scratching your head. It wouldn't be Glee otherwise.
Next up? Season 5. Damn.

This week on Pack Dynamics we're talking S1E12, "Code Breaker." The full moon has risen on the Season 1 Finale of Teen Wolf and we're here to guide you through every twist and turn.

From the cleverly laid breadcrumbs leading us into the next season to the heart-stopping revelations and heel turns, this episode is an emotional rollercoaster for the characters and for us. Because as a season finale, not everyone is going to walk away alive.
And of course we take a moment to look back at the Teen Wolf fandom itself. We reflect on the passion and dedication of the fans, because it's that community that keeps this show alive so long after the final credits roll.
Thank you for listening to Season 1 of Pack Dynamics. We hope you've enjoyed this foray into our other fandom obsessions and hope to see you soon for Season 2.

Introducing - Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast
We're so thrilled to introduce the newest podcast to the Fandom on the Rocks network - Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast. Hosted by FotR alum Emily and newcomer Alison, Pack Dynamics is a deep dive into the supernatural teen drama that was equal parts a delightful story of friendship and family and a vexing MTV show of wasted potential.
We suppose this podcast is a decade in the making, given how attached we've been to this series since we started watching it together in Los Angeles (you'll hear our origin story on the podcast). We sprinkle in character analysis alongside fanon lore and heartfelt critique of a show we've never quite let go of. And we help you find the episode you're looking for so you can continue to create gorgeous and creative content.
The first 3 episodes will drop all at once on Wednesday on the Fandom on the Rocks feed and then we'll be releasing an episode a week. And we're already a 1/3 of the way through recording Season 2. (How organized are we?!?)
A note from Alison: Thank you, dear listeners, for welcoming me into the Rocks fold. For listening while I chat with one of my best friends about a fandom that has consumed my whole soul for the better part of a decade. For letting this little Curiosity Pony prance out in the fields. Strap on your Shipping Goggles, we're going for a ride.

Sweet Glee
This is 4x19, "Sweet Dreams." The New Directions finally learn the theme of this year's Regional's - "Dreams," which is perfectly reasonable even though it's only days? weeks? before the performance and they probably should have been practicing for months now. Naturally everyone has an opinion on what they should perform - including sweet Marley, who's gone ahead and written original songs for the Glee Club. Meanwhile, over in NYC, it's time for Rachel "Barbra" Berry to audition Funny Girl, even though she's - let's say it again - a college freshman, but she does have a surprise support system on her side.

Bonus Episode #45 - What's In Our Face Holes Lately
*Tap tap tap* Is this thing on?
Hello friends! It is us and we have a Bonus Episode for you. While maintaining our support for the WGA / SAG-AFTRA strike, we're clocking in to discuss the things we've been putting into our face holes lately: books, podcasts, etc. We've got some recommendations for you and would love any recommendations that you have for us.
In love and solidarity.

Bonus Episode #44 - WGA Strike and a Swift Rant
Fandom on the Rocks stands in solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA and are acting accordingly.
Though we are not Union members, we support the on-going strike in search of fair contracts and will be following the WGA and SAG-AFTRA rules regarding the promotion of struck work. This includes podcasts.
We will continue to post new bonus episodes (like this one!) about non-struck work (music! books! food! ourselves!) until the strike ends and a fair contract is negotiated.
Here are a few key notes from the FAQs about podcasts:
What kind of podcast work is NOT allowed during the strike?
- Hosts: If you are under contract, you should honor your contract. If you self-produce your podcast, do not promote struck work - past, current, or upcoming - as part of your podcast.
What about “rewatch” or “companion” podcasts relating to struck work? Are they considered promotional?
- Yes, they are considered promotional. Rewatch and companion shows drive people to the struck companies’ platforms to watch the shows promoted by your podcast. We must stand together to show those companies our power and influence so they will provide performers with a fair contract.
Please take a look a the organizations' websites to see how you might be able to support the writers and creators of the content you love.
Please enjoy this episode and know that we will be recording episodes of Glee on the Rocks during the strike to be able to post them when the strike ends.
In love and solidarity.
Glee What You Need to Say
*Content Warning - this episode deals with school shootings. If you'd like to skip it, please do and we'll catch you on the next one. Take care of yourself.*
This is 4x18, "Shooting Star." The members of the New Directions continue to prepare for Regionals, but a terrifying event occurs in McKinley, putting everyone's secrets, issues, and concerns into stark perspective. Meanwhile, Ryder continues to try and figure out who his mystery texting buddy is, but finds out that he's being catfished.
And the end of the episode, Emily and Bee decompress from this heavy mess of an episode by talking about Taylor Swift and other lighter topics. If you make it through, take a breath, turn on some tunes, look at some trees.

Bonus Episode #43 - From the Vault (Fandom Version)
Hello! Happy Summer (if you like that sort of thing). We know we're behind on bonus content and we're working on it. We appreciate you guys sticking with us.
But we've unearthed a previously recorded bonus episode that somehow we forgot to post. So here it is.
We run through some "where are they nows" of the Glee cast, including Amber Riley's recent work, Chord Overstreet in that Christmas movie you probably didn't watch, and Lea Michele in Funny Girl (plus her alleged plastic surgery). Is this a complicated topic? Absolutely. Are we qualified to talk about all of nuances surrounding plastic surgery? Nope. But wow, what is plastic surgery doing to women?? Damn, y'all.
Honestly, we just end up editing the Distractify article because damn they left some important stuff out.

Mini Episode - The One About College
Happy New Year, Gleeks. In this subscriber exclusive mini episode, hosts Mandy, Bee, and Emily discuss their varied experiences in the American higher education system.

That's My Ship! Episode 1 - Destiel
Welcome to our miniseries That's My Ship! These episodes have previously been Patreon-exclusive content, but we've decided to release them widely because we want to. In this very random miniseries, we take 20 minutes to an hour to rant, rave, and explain our favorite ships across all fandoms.
In our first episode of That's My Ship! Emily reveals one of her her other major fandom loves: Supernatural and Destiel. That's right. It has nothing to do with Glee - other than those Deep Fandom Feelings we all feel.
These episodes will be spoiler heavy. These episodes will be about all ships, RPF included. We hope you love them, we hope they spark your fandom feels. We hope you'll tell us about your ship.
