    Episode 89 - Endurance: Rotten Ice

    This month we read a boat book!!! Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, by Alfred Lansing. It's so cold! A lot happens! There is Dog Tragedy! There's a lost foot! And a frozen butt! No cannibalism though, so that's good. But you guys LOOK AT THE JAMES CAIRD, JUST LOOK AT HER! They took her from Elephant Island to the wrong side of South Georgia Island. Can you imagine?! No?? Well, you don't have to! We'll tell you about it, because Alfred Lansing told us.

To participate, please make a donation to an organization of your choice that provides mutual aid, support for immigrants, or support for protesters in Minneapolis, your own community, or anywhere there is need.  Please EMAIL your donation receipt to hugogirlpodcast@gmail.com, (please DO NOT send receipts via social media). We'll essentially treat your receipt as a raffle ticket. All donations received on or before March 31, 2026 will count. After that, we'll select one person at random to choose a MOVIE for us to watch and discuss on the show - yes, I said a movie because right now we have to get through Green Mars so we can't add an extra book. Thanks for your support!

    Episode 86 - The Tainted Cup: Parchment for Your Bunghole

    This month we read the brand new Hugo winner, The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett!

    Episode 85 - Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula - Is This Mamma Mia?

    Tis the season for a spooky movie! The scariest thing about this film is probably a tie between Keanu's accent and Keanu's bowl cut, but we still love it. If you want Dracula delivered to your inbox in real time, check out Dracula Daily! DM: Amy CW: SA Join us on our BRAND NEW Discord server!

    HGG LIVE - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2: The Saw is Family

    Kevin, Amy, and Lori went to ArmadilloCon in Austin, TX and recorded our very first live show! We discussed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, which was filmed right there in Austin. We recorded on our phones, so the sound quality is extremely okay. Thanks to Marshall Ryan Maresca for inviting us. We had a blast! DM/Stunt Haley: Kevin Join us on our BRAND NEW Discord server!
