    Nice and Close with Our Face Huggers

    Welcome to our 13th episode! We dish about how we got here (from podcast engagement to podcast marriage) and thank some folks who helped us along the way. We had a celebrity sighting and perhaps a bit too much familiarity with ALIEN: Romulus swag from the Comic Con 2024 panel. Heather brings a serious and timely topic to the pod - how to use your senses to stay grounded when things feel really big and scary. Join us for some solid squee and some solid psychology....

    Science, Psychology and Mutants

    It’s our 1st anniversary, the spawn have launched and the Squee is back! We packed so much into this episode! Stacy and Heather talk all things X-Men, from the 90s animated show to the films to voice talent in the new X-Men 97 series. Heather loves on and laughs at Jesse Martin’s new show, The Irrational, and we Squee our way through the highlights of Comic Con 2024. But wait, there’s more! Our Books on Tape Segment is back, with trans teens and gothic horror (we talk WITCHES friends), and a Middle Eastern pirate mom! There’s so much to love...

    Yeah Right, Vogue Contacted You

    Get ready Squee Fans, we’ve got a lot of happy ground to cover! Heather and Stacy get into Bridgerton (sex and costumes!), queer women’s voices, like Billie Eilish and Chappell Roan, and then bring it all together for our favorite episode of Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor thus far…ROGUE! In fact, we’ve got a wee timey-wimey adventure of our own right in the episode. There is so much squee, we recommend listening alllll the way to the end of the episode. ;)...

    I'm Chewing Glass About It

    Arrgh Fellow Nerds, it be pirate time! 🏴‍☠️ Join us for a special mini episode, where Heather, Stacy and our magical guest Mikayla (aka Younger Spawn) dish the tea on the pirate drama Black Sails. Newly on Netflix, this Starz original show was billed as a gritty prequel to Treasure Island, but it is So. Much. More! Join us as we talk character arcs, queer narratives and Squee quite loudly over Long John Silver....

    Permission to Squee (Especially in Sweden)

    Strap in, friends! We’ve got so much to talk about this month, including Cowboy Carter, embracing our fandom selves — past and present, revisiting the 80’s, Heather’s first in the wild fan encounter, and Stacy’s first-time guesting on another podcast. (We’re a poly podcast.) Mostly, we’ve got a lot of squeeing going on....

    You Can Ship a Ship Ship

    Stacy and Heather revisit a previous squee: The Taylor Swift Eras Tour, and talk about an up and coming new squee, Aliette de Bodard’s The Red Scholar’s Wake. Speaking of squee, it’s time to debrief Gally! There’s a lot to unpack about the world’s largest and longest running Doctor Who Con (and a rather long ribbon roll to boot!) In honor of cherry blossom season we spend some time with Japanese culture. Our Tell and Tell this episode is all about tea and remarkable Japanese tableware. We touch on customs and meaning making, and why it might be okay to...

    One Ribbon Isn't Enough

    This episode is bigger on the inside as Heather and Stacy talk the return of David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the 2023 Doctor Who Specials, Ncuti Gatwa as the Flirty Doctor (you heard it here first, people!), anticipating Free The Squee’s first appearance at the Gallifrey One Convention, and Heather’s Ode to Verity Podcast. But first, it’s time to get a little serious about cultural gaffs, friendship and making amends. Let’s get going- we’ve got a lot of ground to cover and we left our TARDIS at home....

    Vampires Are Worth Shin Splints

    Hello there fellow nerds, and welcome to our first episode of 2024. Stacy and Heather are joined by the fabulous and brilliant Mikayla, aka Younger Spawn, for some fangirling over Percy Jackson! But before we get there, we talk about Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, Dolly Parton and her new album, Rockstar. We chat collabs, what it means to cover vs. re-tell a song, and how much voice and context can change meaning. Then, there might be some squeeing over NOLA and a certain vampire. Storytelling weaves this episode together: perspective, meaning making, connection, and how stories become...
