    Avatar: The Last Airbender

    This month, I was joined by my friend Lauren to talk about one of your middle school favorites, Avatar: The Last Airbender. We spend a short time talking about our history with the show and then dive straight into talking about why Zuko and Katara should have gotten together. We also touch on the sequel series, The Legend of Korra. As usual, there are spoilers in this episode (for both Avatar and Korra), so consider yourself warned. Bumper music is "Sunshine" by Kevin MacLeod.

    Maximum Ride

    Nostalgia Myalgia is back, and this episode Olivia and Erin discuss Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, the first book in James Patterson's never-ending young adult book series. If you need a reminder, this is the podcast where we talk about stuff we liked when we were kids and decide if it was really any good. We touch on what makes a teenage heroine work, whitewashing, and fan fiction (as usual). SPOILER ALERT: We talk about the series in depth, so if you don't want to be spoiled, this may not be for you. Theme music is "Sunshine" by Kevin MacLeod.

    A Wrinkle in Time

    In the latest episode of Nostalgia Myalgia, Gabs and I discuss Madeleine L'Engle's 1962 fantasy young adult novel A Wrinkle in Time. We discuss liverwurst, genderfluidity, and communism in this very dynamic episode. There are small spoilers about this 54 year old book within the podcast. Intro music "Sunshine" by Kevin MacLeod.

    Smallville

    On this week’s episode of Nostalgia Myalgia, my sister Allison sat down with me to talk about the seemingly never-ending CW series, Smallville, which ran from 2001-2011. We address whether Smallville accurately portrays the lives of every day Kansans like ourselves, and ask important questions like, “Why did Smallville High have so many dances?” As always, Nostalgia Myalgia contains some mild spoilers. Intro music "Sunshine" by Kevin MacLeod.

    InuYasha

    In Minerva’s newest podcast, we go back in time to discuss whether or not the things we liked when we were kids were actually any good. For the first episode, we reflect on the classic and seemingly-infinitely running anime, InuYasha. A word of warning if you’re eleven years behind and are still planning on catching up on InuYasha, there are some mild spoilers in this podcast. Intro music "Sunshine" by Kevin MacLeod.
