The Shipping Forecast

Episode Notes This week, The Forecasters (which are currently, James, Nick, and Katie, as Grace is on her world tour) use todays N7 day and recent tragic news to discuss fics on Biowares two flagship titles; Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Bioware are also big for Kotor and debatably Anthem, but we don't know anything about Anthem and we still have a moratorium on Star Wars. Luckily we recorded this before the Ao3 dark times, but the next episode will likely be some sort of chaos until then.

Episode Notes This week, the Forecasters get together, in person for a change, to discuss the second human/non-human bromance that has stolen our hearts this year. (Acme vs Coyote) We also find a surprising amount of cannibalism, rivaled perhaps only by the Hannibal fandom. There were also five separate fics by separate authors about seducing CEO Foghorn Leghorn, which is why we have that as a thumbnail. Join us, and our unintentional Skittles ASMR, as we answer hard hitting questions like How do chickens actually fuck? Can Wile E Coyote beat Rocky for tumblr sexyman status?

Episode Notes This week, while this episode is nominally about the Odyssey, only Grace saw it so we mostly want to talk about Hades 2 again. It expands into discussion of Greek mythology as a whole, but not before a detour into Postman Pat fics because we saw some things. We also talk a lot about garden centers, which are pretty great. We also answer hard hitting questions, like: Is James a fake anime fan? What Fish should Nick fall in love with? Is 'who is the bottom?' really one of the oldest questions in Philosophy? Also the Patreon is back up! For £1 a month you can get early access to our show (as soon as they are edited) and a sneak peek into what we're covering next.

Episode Notes This week, well its been a rough one because there was a big heatwave, the episode was corrupted and it took until after the heatwave for my brain to realise I could recover it. So we had to power through and only just managed to get this out in time! Join Grace and James as we manage to explain the highs and lows of the Arrowverse, pondering why the muscle girls always end up with glamorous business ladies, and answer hard hitting questions like: Is Evil Hereditary? If you got an Ice Gun, would you dress glam or in a woolly coat? How did Tom Cavanagh manage to carry so much of this franchise? All this and more, on this weeks shipping forecast, Enjoying the show?

Episode Notes This week, we go to space with Ryan Gosling in the hopes of making friends. Grace spends the entire thing unsettling because he has borrowed her name.
