  • Eratosthenes: the original beta male
    Jun 14 2025
    In a very special episode of the Claymore and Slappy show, Slappy (Jess Thursday) tells her friend Claymore about her favorite librarian, the famous Eratosthenes of the Library of Alexandria. He was sort of good at so much stuff his friends called him Beta. Slappy can really relate to this.

  • Traces to Nowhere S02E02 (Twin Peaks)
    Jul 14 2024
    Due to a recording snafu there's a bit of echo on this episode but besides that we get to see Laura Palmer freak out, Pete try to get fish out of a percolator, and Agent Cooper hangs upsidedown. Much laughter is had at marriages going awry.

  • In Dreams Begin Responsibilities S01E19
    Aug 20 2023
    The season and series finale of My So Called Life leaves us wanting more. More characters whose full name is always stated. More tension between idiot teenagers and their idiot problems. Did Katimski ever really quit coffee? Did Graham find success as a chef? Did he ever sleep with Plucky McNosecandy?
    Our friend Carli joins us having not seen any of the rest of the show.
    Thanks for going on this listening journey with both of us!
