Sophomore Lit 196: Dorothy Parker Stories

From the Relay St. Jude fundraising campaign comes this game where three familiar Incomparable voices with a bit of televised game show history compete in a game of answers and questions! Host Dan Cassino with Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, and Jason Snell.

Norah takes a breath from racing between errands to share a high performance geek-out. (Special thanks to the Romancing the Vote 2026 auction for bringing Norah to the show!) Host Sandra Wong with Norah Woodsey.

Shocktober continues with a dead hug, mushy terrain, and the logistics of generosity. Host Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kat Griffiths, and Mikah Sargent.

Beauty is only skin deep, but podcasts go clean to the bone. Shaenon K. Garrity discusses four short stories by Dorothy Parker. Host John McCoy with Shaenon K. Garrity.

Steven and Erika finish off their Thanksgiving mini-marathon (the mini-est of marathons!) with a lot of complaints about the final episode of this story. Hosts Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven wish you a happy Thanksgiving (or a happy Monday if you’re not in Canada) as they discuss antimatter universes, captains under pressure, and also submarine movies because why not? Hosts Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Listener David asks us several questions. We have many answers, but too few. Hosts John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

If there’s a show with a solid excuse to finish with a giant super-powered Kaiju battle Lanterns is it. While being fearless in its character-driven focus does this show stick the landing? Like the season finale of The Bachelor we finally find out who gets the ring. Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Inhale deeply of the intoxicating gases and get ready to discuss the “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season gone by. Our panel of puppets, “Casablanca” characters, badmirals, and high fantasy types have opinions on the genre-shifting penultimate season. Too much Kirk, or just enough? What’s up with La’an’s journey? Beam us up, Scotty, but only if you’re not still experimenting with the transporter… Host Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Moisés Chiullán, and Shelly Brisbin.

Season 4 is a wrap! Kathy, Chip, and Brian check in on our “Low Risk Prediction” list while recapping the final episode of the season. Yes, “Being Alive”, much like life, is a little messy, but we sure did grow attached to the new people we met along the way. Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.
