Episode 126: The Whitest of Privileges Jun 20, 2017

Show notes

Quick editor's note: there's going to be some rough audio at the beginning of this one, but it gets fixed partway in. So when the sound changes, don't freak out. Other than technical issues, it's smooth sailing in fairy tale land with "The Bairn and the Sidhe," and all of the Bop-It secrets therein.

Suggested talking points: 5 feet a man, Scottish boats, human IRAs, the full talk, Bop-It fetish, harvest the butt with Pet Fur Co, the supplest regions, fattening up for the devils, Bob-it identities

Show notes

This week we're trying to piece together a screamed conversation that occurred in the bushes after midnight, as well as developing some new product and marketing strategies.

Episode 125: Wonder Woman Lays An Egg Jun 13, 2017

Show notes

We're giving France another shot at giving us a palatable story, after all of the d'Aulnoy that we've read over the years. Their effort "The Maiden In the Tower" is... an interesting strategy. It's a Rapunzel knockoff, but with some added twists, and a lengthy discussion about how babies are really born. If you're interested in seeing us at PodCon in December, check them out, and fill out the linked form:

Suggested talking points: folklore spectrum, personal pilgrimages, how babies are born, vision quest for names, Casserole Nancy, godmother looking for scraps of dudes, spider fairy births

Ramblecast 125 Jun 11, 2017

Show notes

We have a long ramblecast for you this week to make up for last week. We're starting off with a discussion on improving travel conditions, and we move on to a subject that's going to become very close to our hearts: the flat earth theory.

Episode 124: Ancient Chinese Pitch Perfect May 30, 2017

Show notes

We're diving into "The Journey West" again, because it's been awhile since we found out what the rascally Monkey King was up to. And we won't find out this week, because the book just decides to have a side trip into a filler chapter.

Suggested talking points: Time Traveler Ben Carson, Gordie's Awkward Party Corner: Playlists, the body-slamming congressional candidate, mandarin shrimp ministers, the holes aces go in, chess fatigue, musical news, Yoricking your own head, ghost flu

Ramblecast 124 May 28, 2017

Show notes

This week we discuss the different kinds of reapers out there, pitch some patches for Overwatch, and think about what a sequel to Pagemaster would be like.

Episode 123: Wormaid May 23, 2017

Show notes

We're visiting a seldom-traveled part of the world for us with this week's story "The Seven Weavers." We're off to Vietnam, to check up on more of the same set of sisters from previous Vietnamese stories we've ready. Turns out: Jeff Bridges is innate to all of them.

Suggested talking points: folklore victims, the Kanye we were looking for, hotboxing a baby, putting Alice In Wonderland to bed, evil math

Ramblecast 123 May 21, 2017

Show notes

Teeth are a mystery, and Gordie's been pondering them since having his wisdom teeth removed last week. Do birds have them? What's up with what cows do to their food? Why do we have to go through two sets of them as humans? Completely scientifically sound answers incoming.

Episode 122: Cake Boss Makes You a Summer House May 16, 2017

Show notes

Despite the talking points, this one does not have any Bony in it. We just want to get out ahead of this one: the #BonyAlert is set to 0. But these are some fun hashtags you can use to confuse your friends. This week we're finally getting to the much-awaited "Cottage In the Sky."

Suggested talking points: new titles, #BonyAlert, #BonyWatch, #BonyWarning, fake weather/sports, reverse pest situation, goat tribunal, pancake tolerance, dark pancake times
