  • The $500 Tortoise and Hare Literary Death Match

    The $500 Tortoise and Hare Literary Death Match
    Jul 13 2026

    Ole Sarah needs a win, and by GOD she is going to get one. Or else she is making that everyone else's problem. In this episode, we hash out the rules for the contest that will finally tear us apart: Who Can Read More Books This Year. First half of the episode, we litigate exactly that that means. Second half of the episode? Establishing the stakes. Come 2027, this house might have a soft serve machine or PS5, but it will DEFINITELY have a homemade garden statue of one of us with the word "WINNER" underneath.

    Animorphs 43-47: A Tale of Three Vissers
    Jun 29 2026

    We're back on that Animorphs grind, this time covering The Test, The Unexpected, The Revelation, The Deception, and The Resistance. And guys, these books that are meant for children are getting DEEP into what constitutes a war crime, what it means to sacrifice a loved one for the greater good, and how cool it would be to be a kangaroo.
