Show Notes

Hi robots! Another year, another wrap-up of the media we enjoyed most while experiencing that particular unit of time. The fact that we've made it to a second-annual anything is, frankly, astonishing, and we thank you for hanging in there with us. No matter how big or small, we love knowing you're there. Talking points: spooky houses and the nature of ghosts; Japanese workplace anime ft. heavy metal; genre flexibility in science fiction audio drama; novels of family devotion and dementia; monster girls and readers who love them; science as philosophical and cultural touchstone; why we needed to go to Wakanda; post-apocalyptic fantasy for the geologically active; a break-down on the toxic culture behind stand-up; one chapter in the battle of robots vs fairies; and, hey, happy holidays!
