Advertise on podcast: Dork Matters

To: Our Beautiful Listeners: Be ours and feel the heat as Lexi & Ben play eff, marry, kill with a random list of popular sport, food, and corporate mascots. We also talk about Paw Patrol. It gets weird. Love: Dork Matters.

We dork out about the world's deadliest animal, our fave modern children's book illustrators, and the strange phenomenon that makes people need to poop when they visit a bookstore.

Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see? I see a new Dork Matters ep with Ben and Lexi. We're dorking out about the best, most amazing, legendary children's book illustrator-authors like Maurice Sendak, Beatrix Potter, Ul de Rico, Eric Carle and others. We also do a bit of conspiracy theorizing about the Sankebetsu brown bear incident. Grab a blanky, get comfy, and let us tell you a story.

Happy New Year? Happy Doctor Who? No, Happy Dorkter Who Year! Get in the tardis! Lexi & Ben dork about about the 60th Anniversary Doctor Who specials, our fave NuWho Doctors, Ncuti Gatwa's arrival, and a brave new universe of bi-generation?! We also take a twenty minute divergence to debate celebrating the death of political/social figures who have done monstrous harm. FUN! It's bigger on the inside.

Space: the final frontier. Deanna Troi's virgin birth. Jimmy Stewart and Jean-Luc Picard. Neelix researching Janeway's ancestor. Lexi, Ben and guest host, Stephanie Gerk, boldly go where no Trek has gone before: Christmas

Wherever you find Muppets, it feels like Christmas! Jim Henson's pals help us celebrate the holidays as Lexi & Ben dork out about (nearly) every festive special you can shake a Kermit at. It's all the ways that we watch Muppets, that feel like Christmas!

Where we lead, you will follow! We're dorking out about the Gilmore Girls with guest host, Jess Schmidt, our very own wonderful editor and producer. We discuss the good, bad and downright awful happenings in Stars Hollow. And Kirk. Everyone loves Kirk. Coffee, please, and a shot of cynicism!

Put on the kettle and wrap yourself in your favourite throw: we're dorking out about cozy games. What is a cozy game? Did covid hasten the cozy craze? Are cozy games even REAL games? How many times can you say 'cozy' before it loses all meaning as a word? Are cozy games just a millennial sedative used in a desperate attempt reduce the existential sting of a world gone mad? Cuddle up, steep that tea, pop in your ear buds and lets get cozy!

You know, Halloween is a very strange holiday. Personally, we don’t understand it. Kids worshipping ghosts, pretending to be devils. Podcasts that are completely inappropriate for some listeners. Things like the following episode with guest Laura O'Conner dorking out with us about The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror episodes. So if you're sensitive, maybe you should tuck yourself in early tonight instead of writing us angry emails tomorrow. Thanks for your attention.

Can one truly understand podcasting without making a podcast? Or podcasting a podcast episode about making a podcast? Special guest and podcast producer/editor extraordinaire, Jess Schmidt, helps Lexi & Ben get meta (not you, Zuck) on the medium of audio blogging and dork deep on the history, beauty, and all-time faves of iPod broadcasting. We also make fun of Joe Rogan. Podcast!

Dork friends, unite! We return to returning to Stardew Valley. This time we dork out about the non-romance-able characters living in and around Pelican Town! We've got Clintroversy! We punch on Pierre! We examine Demitrius' motives! And everyone else. We've got We also talk the upcoming 1.6 update and Haunted Chocolatier. Season 3 of the award nominated Dork Matters starts here!

It's our season 2, in review! Lexi & Ben are joined by Jess Schmidt, chess dork (and our editor/producer); Laura O'Conner, movie and horror dork; Stephanie Gerk, sci/fi dork; and Jason Mehmel, dungeon master dork, to talk about the past year of Dork Matters epsiodes-- but there's a twist that none of our guests (or Lexi) were prepared for!
