    Episode 488: Detective Tardigrade is on the Case!

    After reading a much-too-long epic (that really could've been boiled down to a single episode), we decided we needed a palette cleanser. For some reason, we also decided that palette cleanser would be Hans Christian Andersen. This week, we read The Rose Elf. Suggested talking points: Advancements in Bellibolt Technology, Excommunicated from the Pinocchio Community, Folktale Chop Shop, Magic Ennui Ball, Nega-Bilbo, Kafka Kourt   Check out Gordie's TTRPG, Mythomorphosis If you'd like to support Carman's artistic endeavors, visit: https://www.patreon.com/carmandaartsthings If you like our show, find us online to help spread the word!

    Episode 484: The Wizard of Teeth (The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather Part 3)

    Even though it says "Part 3" in the  title, we close out Part 2 of The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather this week, thus bringing an end to our tale of a guy so dumb and annoying he caused the very concept of death to exist.

    This week, we conclude at least Part 1 of The Trial of Lovers: The Maiden of Mátsaki and the Red Feather, having learned nothing about said Red Feather, but a surprising amount about bugs, their legs, and the lexicon of demons and wizards.

    Episode 481: A Cow Could be a Bird
