  1. EPISODE 1

    Bread & Barricades: V.i, Blind Date Leftist Infighting Edition

    Cw: death, execution, children dying of starvation, sex work discrimination,   Welcome to season 5, in which there are some new barricade men to ship, which Providence means Nemo has links to them. These barricades are inspired by our main boy barricade, which has some leadership issues. Mods are asleep, alcohol is banned, and some student boys do some pontification before choosing who should leave wearing a uniform. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin and Julian Yap. The audio direction and intro composing is by JDWasabi. It is a Captain's Collection Creation.

  2. EPISODE 2

    Bread & Barricades: V.ii, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity…

    Cw: mention of plane crash, war mention Nemo and Stevie record the first cross-continental episode, we talk about Hugo's hatred of Taylor Swift's lifestyle, lions and phoenixes, and Hugo/Enjolras' hope for a united states of Europe. There's some thinking about politics and then Javert and Enjolras have some kinky times on a table with some rope.   'The worse side, [Enjolras] cannot imagine. He’s part of it already. The blond hair, fair skin and fine profile that Hugo gives him’ adds to ‘his exclusive devotion to a political cause, the charisma he exercises over others more sensible than he is, his gifts for public speaking and for military action and his unshakeable faith in the purifying virtue of violence speak to us now of the kind of men who turned the twentieth century not into utopia but into sheer hell’  David Bellos, The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Misérables.

    Bread & Barricades: V.iii, Barricade Fancam

    Cw: description of death, war mention, misogyny This week Hugo predicts the 2024 UK election, the barricade is filled with autistic men who appreciate the engineering of a canon, and Gavroche makes all the boys tremble. And hold on to your garters because we have an extended portion where Victor Hugo tells us in extreme detail what he thinks of young womens' bedrooms.  This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin.

    Bread & Barricades: V.iv, Enjolras' Mistress! Not Clickbait!

    Cw: descriptions of warfare, gun violence, death, child death, race riots,  Nemo and Stevie boil in their own sweat as the barricade comes under cannon fire. Valjean performs some sick snipes, the National Guard cause unnecessary bloodshed, there's some hope – and then despair.

  5. EPISODE 5

    Bread & Barricades: V.v, Javert Moe Gap

    Cw: drug mention, child death mention, description of child poverty, starvation, blood mention, injury description, suicide mention We discuss an album that was not made for us (but which becomes increasingly more imprinted on our souls), another person has pissed off Hugo so we get another session of Opinion Time, and it's time to get sad about bread. We rejoin the barricade and witness the preparations of the barricade boys as the soldiers prepare their final assault – and Valjean offers to blow Javert. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin.

    Bread & Barricades: V.vi, Respectful Pronouns and Progress Pauses

    Cw: death mention, discussion of racism/colonialist mentality,  Valjean and Javert explore some bondage together in the alleyway behind the tavern. We delight in this. And then Hugo reminds us that he was indeed a white man from the nineteenth century as he teaches us about protest and colonial power.  This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin.

  7. EPISODE 7

    Bread & Barricades: V.vii, Sad Boy Deaths

    Cw: discussions of death, blood, battle wounds Open your death notes because it's time to catalogue some boy death! Someone is lost in translation, Marius is bloodied and Hugo is epic. Enjolras canonically kisses a man twice… and then the iconic scene we've all been waiting for.

    Bread & Barricades: V.viii, HUGUANO OOZE

    Cw: sinophobia, discussion of sewage,  We dive into the sewers and for the first time ever, Hugo might be right about science, and also teaches us some new words?? We say the word cloaca about seventy thousand times, the English are respectable, and we find Javert's Inspection Chamber ;) Also, did you know the origin of the word OOZE? Prepare yourself because Nemo and Stevie have a LOT of passion about sewers.    Human compost: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/05/07/182010827/is-it-safe-to-use-compost-made-from-treated-human-waste  Crossness pumping station: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossness_Pumping_Station    This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin.
