- Loisirs
No Context is a podcast where two sisters read fanfiction for fandoms we're not in and try to guess the plot based on what we read. Emma and Ellie answer questions like: who is Light Death Note? If there is a Fullmetal Alchemist, is there also a Partmetal Alchemist? What would you do if your dad assassinated President John F. Kennedy with an umbrella? We also discuss things like fandom culture, popular fanfic tropes, different adaptations of our favorite media, and more!
