331 - Set Us Up The Bahm Gilyad
2026/08/27
It took until chapter 4 of the book to do a "This dude is horny for this lady for way too long" inner monologue sequence, but it happened so at we're now sure we're reading a Michael Reaves Star Wars novel.

328 - Podcasts are Weakness Leaving the Body
2026/07/02

320 - Funky Yellow Patina
2026/02/25
Well, if you let Jon off the leash, you get X thing that isn't Star Wars, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised we're reading about Mulder and Scully now. And some archaeologist named Cassandra Rubicon who you simply must know is incredibly hot, it is vital.
