...it's never too late to learn something new! (Or, welcome to Season 2!)
In which E and F ring in Season 2 with promises of a theme for the season, and in which they unpack the nature of talent vs. skill, and why the latter matters more.
...heckling is part of the fun (or, the joys of being a game-master)
In which E and F interview perennial game-master, "R," on the joys of trash talk and why being a game master is the ultimate bonding experience.
(A long overdue Episode 17!)
...STAN ALAMAT! (Or welcome to the Fil-Pop revolution.)
In which E is a hard stan, F thinks Bohol can get it, and we lose count of what episode this is (16?). #MagiliwMakeSomeNoise
...fandom completes your life. (Or, E writes a poem and we make a minisode out of it!)
In which we record a very short(??) love letter to geeking out.
...everyone can love reading! (Or, the sequel to the minisode.)
In which we record an unintentional sequel to one of our first(?) minisodes, E geeks out about teaching, and F reveals she's started reading comic books.
...toss a coin to your Doctor! (Or, we're back after our holiday break.)
In which E & F have survived 2020 thanks to some serious geekery, F discovers The Witcher, and we FINALLY talk about Doctor Who!
We're experimenting with changing our format a little bit to a sort of standard back and forth. Let us know if this works for you guys!
...you find BTS when you need them most. (Or, how music can heal, regardless of language.)
In which we celebrate the release of BTS's new album BE by doing a "crash course" into the themes found in BTS's music, and discussing why they resonate so much with people today.
English translations for "Life Goes On" and "Blue and Grey" (from BE) are taken from https://lyricskpop.net/album/bts-be-deluxe-edition/.
English translations for all other songs mentioned (notably, "Tomorrow") taken from https://genius.com/Genius-english-translations-bts-tomorrow-english-translation-lyrics.
DISCLAIMER: This is by no means a comprehensive discussion into KPOP or into BTS as a group. Not all members names are mentioned (F apologizes; she was very emotional), but if you'd like to know more about everyone, you can check out this guide video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se5GiLArs40.
...WE'RE BACK! (After a LONG break.)
In which E and F explain away their long absence, and ramble about what they were up to in the few weeks of podcast-silence. A casual chat minisode!
...martial arts movies are about more than just fighting. (Or, we have *controversial opinions*)
In which E schools us in Martial Arts, F asks for a Wikipedia sponsorship, and we discuss how wuxia literally /suspends/ disbelief.
...vampires can be a metaphor for mental health. (Or, this minisode really raises the stakes.)
In which we have a very unlikely follow-up to our mental health episode(s)...featuring Marceline, the Vampire Queen. Spoilers for Adventure Time's Stakes miniseries,
For more vampire goodness, check out Maven of the Eventide's video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXIwuGEEWb0!
Also, E helped F write a vampire "children's story" à la Ko Mun Yeong. Check it out here: https://actuallyfrankie.wordpress.com/2020/10/17/fiction-the-vampire-girl-who-missed-the-sun/.
Happy Spooktober, everyone!
...we have SPOILERS for The Eagle (2011)! (Or, E tries to get F to watch a war movie.)
DISCLAIMER: This episode has SPOILERS! If you have not yet watched The Eagle (2011), go watch it then come back. :P
In which we discuss war, Pride and Prejudice 2005, and the gray areas of history. Potential trigger warning for discussions of violence.
...it's World Mental Health Awareness Day. (Part 2 of 2)
A note: This episode references upcoming episodes ("Vampires" and "The Eagle (2011 film)" so...spoilers? I guess?
As early as April of this year, experts were predicting that the "next wave" in the coronavirus epidemic would be a mental health crisis. Since October 10th is globally recognized as Mental Health Awareness Day, E and F trade the usual geeking out for a frank discussion on their personal mental health journeys, and what it is like living with, and living well, in the face of mental health issues.
This is a two-part episode. Part 2 covers F's story.
For our Philippine listeners: if you or any one you know is in need of mental health services, visit http://www.silakbo.ph/help/ to find support near you. #YouAreNotAlone

...we're bored in the house, in the house bored. (Or, a minisode about #Quaranthings!)
In which E and F discuss sealing wax, needlework, and why there were so many accomplished women in the Regency era.
...here's how a BTS ARMY explains Jungian psychology.
YET ANOTHER OUTTAKE!
We cut this digression from our already extremely-long episode on fictional crushes, but F decided she wanted to share it with you anyway, in case anyone out there is interested in hearing "...an idiot's guide to Jungian psychology, from an idiot."
(Her words, not ours.)
If you'd like to learn more about Carl Jung's theories of the self from LEGITIMATE sources, we recommend the following books:
- Jung's Map of the Soul: An Introduction by Murray Stein, PhD.
- Psych 101: Psychology Facts, Basics, Statistics, Tests, and More by Paul Kleinman
...your FICTIONAL CRUSH says more about you than your horoscope. (Or, basically, chaos ensues.)
DISCLAIMER: E and F were not on any mind- or mood-altering substances while recording this. (Believe me; we're as confused as you are.)
In which we decide no podcast on geeking out is complete without a fangirl crush episode. Discussed: Jungian psychology, underrated Austen heroes, F's college crush(??!!), E's fascination for archery...and, well, Orlando Bloom.
(Also, F would like to clarify that when she said Cathy Morland was "...an ordinary girl, not that smart..." she wasn't implying ordinary girls were not smart. She was just rambling disjointedly because she gets very, very excited and ramble-y when she talks about Northanger Abbey.)
...why is history so white? We have theories. (Or, the controversial minisode?)
DISCLAIMER: We love all peoples of the world (or, well, F hates all people equally as she's an antisocial turtle). This is purely an intellectual inquiry into the nature of historical "canon."
That being said...in which E and F discuss colonizers. :P
...you can make a friend! Literally. (Or, please give E yarn for Amigurumi.)
In which we talk about the art of crochet, making reverse voodoo dolls, and how to "donate" to the show.
Also, this is our first episode that actually goes under the time limit! Except, well, we threw that time limit out the window ages ago.
...E and F got VERY lost in Seoul (or, the Outtake about BTS and...Zombies?!).
Yet another outtake!
In this trip, E and F discuss F's "dukhoo tour" itinerary, and how that ALMOST got them into trouble in Seoul National University.
...you can fall in love WITH a coffeeshop (or, a love letter to homes far away).
In which E and F get emotional about...coffeeshops??
...here's what weddings are like in the new normal. (Or, we have outtakes!)
We had to cut this anecdote out of the last episode, but it was too hilarious to leave on the cutting room floor! In which our guest, Leon Peckson, tells us about the nature of weddings in the new normal.
...Art is a way of whispering your secrets to the world, safely. (Or, this is a minisode about Art...and crying.)
In which we talk about the imperative of art, confessional poetry, and post our episode with Leon, F has feelings and E records her talking about them.
...poetry is music, but without notes? (Or, what you do with an AB in Humanities.)
In which we have our first guest on the podcast! Leon Peckson comes to chat with us about Shakespeare, motorcycles, and when it is NOT an appropriate time for a sonnet.
(Also, in which F lies: everything that was said was NOT left into the podcast. But more on that soon. ;) )
...being a nerd is aesthetic now! (Or, in the words of Irene Adler, "Smart is the new sexy.")
In which we talk Dark Academia, F attempts to apply as a college professor, and E is unsurprised that said application was left on read. :P

...makeup is a symbol of the human spirit (or, these minisodes are getting out of hand. :P)
In which F delivers a TEDtalk and encounters some audio issues, and we discover the psychological and philosophical significance of making yourself look pretty.

...this J-Pop Agency should run the world. (Or, we break our time limit in EPIC fashion.)
In which we realize that talking about the intricacies of the J-Pop agency system is not something one can do in just 20 minutes. LDH FANS, WHERE YOU AT??? #EXILEHiroForPresident
"...the book chooses the wizard, of course." (Or, a "minisode" on why everyone can be a lit geek.)
Yet another (not-so-)minisode!
In which E forces F to ramble, professors of Dante are compared, and we fangirl over Mr. Darcy (but not for the reasons you expect).
Also, E would like you all to know F made requests for donations without her consent. :P
...this minisode is longer than an episode (or, we accidentally geek out about marketing strategy).
In which we talk about quarantine, Star Trek, miniature disco lights, and it becomes VERY obvious that both E and F work in communications and marketing strategy.
(Also, we don't mention Doctor Who in this one. T_T )
