Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, hosted by Brigid & Clint. Episode 8 covers the second and FINAL half of The Captive's War's first novella, LIVESUIT.  

In this episode:

  • We watch the futuristic noir crime drama Silent Horses through the eyes of our loveable dingbat Kirin, and we compare it to the Maltese Falcon and Blade Runner. 
  • The squad goes on vacay in Liribas and meets several interesting locals while engaging in growth team building exercises that will change their perspectives forever.
  • Your hosts pick their TCW kink scene names.
  • Brigid notes how short stories are like hot pockets.
  • Clint asks the important question on everyone's mind: why don't the Carryx have MOAR GUNZ?
  • We refer back to The OFFICIAL Livesuit Timeline by The Mercy of Pods. 
  • The team scattered to the wind is a strange look for victory.
  • Piotr can't stop flapping his jaw. 
  • Kirin has a no good very bad day. 
  • The podcast finishes its set of recap episodes of the currently-published narrative of The Captive's War.
