    Caliban's War: Part Two

    Caliban's War: Part Two

    Dan goes off the grid (11:00 to skip). Turns out Bobbie has fallen for the propaganda, and Avasarala is a terrible boss. Taste your soup before you add salt, folks!

    Caliban's War: Part One

    Caliban's War: Part One

    Dan learns the rules of basketball (9:35 to skip), then we give our takes on the first episode of The Expanse TV show (up to 23:15, then book talk). Now we know the key to being a powerful politician: distracting snacks. Now that we're in space it's time to establish Grenade-free zones, and can anyone tell us what even is Ganymede?!

    Leviathan Wakes: Part Three

    Leviathan Wakes: Part Three

    Luke and Dan complain about modern life (08:30 to skip). Fred is either a lucky idiot or a tactical genius and there is no room for error. Also, how about we bring it on back? I know a lot is going on right now, but we would all love if you could just bring it on back. Anybody got those keys so we can bring it on back?

    Leviathan Wakes: Part Two

    Leviathan Wakes: Part Two

    Turns out the teens are alright (6:25 to skip). Our crew needs to get some hobbies and stop being bored all the time. Holden is not to blame but the guy sure does have a talent for public speaking. And don't worry, Dan did come prepared with a fun space fact.

    Leviathan Wakes: Part One

    Leviathan Wakes: Part One

    You accepting cookies or naw? (09:02 to skip) Luke and Dan do flesh talk and we get taken to office hours a few times this episode. Luke needs better food and Dan gives himself homework.

    A Darker Shade of Magic: Part Three

    A Darker Shade of Magic: Part Three

    Just a heads up before you get into this one, we had a little recording issue so Dan's audio is a little off. Dan tells us how he turned into a bead boi (13:15 to skip). Everybody knows you can't summon a serpent and not expect it to backfire, and we're excited to hear more about a one-person pirate crew.
    Next week we're starting Leviathan Wakes by "James S. A. Corey!"
