Biff! 283: Lanterns ep 8
If there’s a show with a solid excuse to finish with a giant super-powered Kaiju battle Lanterns is it. While being fearless in its character-driven focus does this show stick the landing? Like the season finale of The Bachelor we finally find out who gets the ring. Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

The Incomparable Mothership 838: And I'm All Outta Dinosaurs
Inhale deeply of the intoxicating gases and get ready to discuss the “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season gone by. Our panel of puppets, “Casablanca” characters, badmirals, and high fantasy types have opinions on the genre-shifting penultimate season. Too much Kirk, or just enough? What’s up with La’an’s journey? Beam us up, Scotty, but only if you’re not still experimenting with the transporter

Football is Life 45: "Being Alive" (S4E10)
Season 4 is a wrap! Kathy, Chip, and Brian check in on our “Low Risk Prediction” list while recapping the final episode of the season.

Biff! 282: Lanterns ep 7
This week we’re covering the penultimate episode of Lanterns. We go way back and visit Hal and his Dad during little league and, it turns out, Hal just can’t let things go. Meanwhile, John makes a discovery that makes a world of a difference. Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Host Jason Snell with Helene Wecker.

Sorkin' In It 5.11: Nevermind (Friday Night Lights S1E10)
Matt’s dad is back for a visit and, surprise surprise, he still kinda sucks. Jason gets some miles on his wheels, but romance is still pretty tricky for him. The real highlight of this episode is Landry helping Tim pass his English class. Now where did I put my Crucifictorious band shirt? Hosts Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Football is Life 44: "Mae Rides the Bus" (S4E9)
In this penultimate episode of Season 4, we get quite the rollercoaster of emotions (Brian admits to crying at least 3 times); but, there’s plenty of reason to get excited, too. For one, our guest panelist, Erika Ensign, is back again! Join Chip, Erika, and Brian for the ride. In fact, why don’t you ride the bus with us to Ashton Gate to cheer on the Greyhounds? Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warre

Game Show 292: Who Is the Pope?
For the second time this year, we bring together some lovely, generous Kickstarter backers who helped make Uncanny Magazine Year 12 happen! The cards bring us scandals, numbers, and lots of fun!

Vulcan Hello 127: "Strange New Worlds" S4 wrap-up panel
Scott has the command codes and Jason has been banished to a spooky haunted starship, or is a puppet now, or maybe is fighting his fairy-tale doppelganger?

Lazy Doctor Who 285: Planet of Evil - 1
Erika and Steven start watching a story that Erika doesn’t remember at all! Hosts Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

The Incomparable Mothership 836: Tea, Blankets, and Murder
Once a subcategory for mysteries, “cozy” feels like the latest craze in publishing with every genre getting in on the act. Is it really a new thing? Are authors able to take sci-fi or horror and turn it into something to be read while cuddled into a warm blanket with a cup of tea at one’s elbow? Our panel discusses what makes a piece of media cozy, drafts a few books (sometimes with media tie-ins)

Vulcan Hello 126: "Tomorrow's Enterprise" (SNW S4E10)
From white hole to black hole, from the near future to the present (of the future), it’s time for Scott and Jason to wrap up another season of “Strange New Worlds” with a delightful time-bending episode that puts Uhura(s) at the center. (Don’t miss Scott’s triumphant return to Random Trek! And stay tuned soon for our season-wrap-up panels both here and on The Incomparable!) Hosts Scott McNulty an

Football is Life 43: "Follow the Anger" (S4E8)
Episode 8 is chock full of injuries, intrigue, and investigations (and perhaps other “in-” words this blurb writer can’t think of at this late hour)! Higgins gets the tip to “follow the anger”, but Brian, Kathy, and Chip are certainly not angry today. Grab a high heel, break a window, and settle in for another episode of Football Is Life. Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

Sophomore Lit 195: Tennyson Poems

Random Trek 268: "A Private Little War" (TOS) with Lex Friedman

Topics include costumes (both tiny and ridiculous), when everyone gets their wigs at the same store, and finally settling the eternal question: is Spock a robot? Host Scott McNulty with Lex Friedman.

Total Party Kill 572: Free Broom!
It’s the thrilling conclusion to Heart of Ashes! K’ronng does his signature move - a Muppet Sword attack. Levithia marks an enemy as both prey and quarry. Tink invites a charming friend to hang out. Cherish smites divinely. Jaee walks through a bed. We’re taking next week off to prepare for SHOCKTOBER! Host Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Kat Griffiths, Kathy Campbell, and Mont

Biff! 280: Spider-Man: Brand New Day
We’re taking a breather from Lanterns this week to cover Spider-Man: Brand New Day. When we left Peter Parker he’d had Doctor Strange erase the memory of him from all of his friends and loved ones. Can Peter cope with his isolation and lonliness without become something he’d never want to be? With a little love from his pal Frank Castle maybe things will work out. Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and

Robot or Not? 362: Robot? Pas robot?
Curiosity, c’est un robot! Robot de cuisine, ce n’est pas un robot! Thanks to Listener Erik and the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie. Hosts John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

The Incomparable Mothership 835: Team Whammer
The Summer of Sundance comes to an end with “The Natural,” a story of a legendary baseball player—no, we’re not talking about Joe Don Baker as The Whammer, or are we? It’s Bernard Malamud’s take on baseball as American mythology, filtered through the mind of Barry Levinson. Barbara Hershey shocks and confuses, Glenn Close glows, Wilford Brimley is very old and near retirement despite being younger

Vulcan Hello 125: "Once La'An a Time" (SNW S4E9)
Once upon a time, there was a fantasy kingdom in a “Star Trek” episode. Twice upon a time, they revisited that story and tried to bring La’An’s seasonlong struggle with herself to a conclusion. Is double the crew double the fun? Is Spock a wizard or a Vulcan, and does he wield magic or logic? We break down the penultimate episode of the penultimate season of “Strange New Worlds!” Hosts Scott McNul

Sorkin' In It 5.10: It's Different for Girls (Friday Night Lights S1E10)
Lyla is the target of bullying at school, even from her so-called friends; and, Matt & Julie’s dating life makes things tough for Coach and Tami. Meanwhile, Lex nearly makes Brian spit out his coffee; but good news, you (and Brian’s computer) are safe and sound here on Sorkin’ In It. Hosts Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Football is Life 42: "Yes & Baby" (S4E7)
The team is back on the pitch, and Brian, Kathy, & Chip are reunited to discuss it. Whether it’s Beard’s eyes, Boots’ truck, Ted’s profile, or Roy’s knee (and heart!); everybody seems to be going through a little bit of something this week. So, we invite you to take a sip of some spicy cognac and say “yes” to listening to this episode of Football Is Li

Game Show 291: USS Nope
Trivia, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Random Pursuit. Its 90-minute mission: to explore Star Trek Trivial Pursuit, to seek out new answers to new questions, to boldly go where no podcast has gone before! (And where no podcast should probably go again.) Hosts Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Cicero Holmes, David J. Loehr, Heather Berberet, Jason Snell, Moisés Chiu

We Contain Multitudes 10: Bree Bridges - The Chaos Sparkler
Bree gleefully shares one of her many (MANY!) special interests. Host Sandra Wong with Bree Bridges.

Biff! 279: Lanterns ep 3 & 4
After a strong opening couple of episodes Lanterns takes us back in time a little to see how wee John Stewart grew up. We do not, in any way, support this method of raising a child. Even one destined to do goofy things with a fancy alient ring. With that behind us we’re back in 2016 as John & Hal close in on the Manhunter and find themselves in a sketchy situation. Hosts Dan Moren, John

Total Party Kill 571: If Clippy Was a Sword
Jaee decides whether she should stay or she should go. K’ronng leaves the murder corner. Levithia is convinced by a rope. Tink gets giggly-excited by danger. Cherish smashes a Ding Dong. Host Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Kat Griffiths, Kathy Campbell, and Monty Ashley.

The Incomparable Mothership 834: Dial-a-CIA-computer
The Summer of Sundance continues with the paranoid thriller, “Three Days of the Condor.” A devastatingly handsome nerd goes out to buy sandwiches for the office, and the next thing he knows he’s on the run and kidnapping Faye Dunaway… Host Jason Snell with David J. Loehr, Shelly Brisbin, Paul Weimer, Glenn Fleishman, and Dan Moren.

Vulcan Hello 124: "Orders of Magnitude" (SNW S4E8)
In this fantastic episode, a “badmiral” takes control of the Enterprise and teaches (randomly on the ship) Jim Kirk some important what-not-to-do lessons about command. Jim and Sam Kirk have a surprising, emotionally resonant conversation about their father. A coffee fetish meets Chekov’s Cordrazine*! And in the B plot: caves! (Which, for the record, we also like very much.) Pop pop! * Ask your d

Football is Life 41: Don't Jump Around Much Anymore (S4E6)
It’s New Year’s Eve! Ted Lasso the Show commits possibly the best pre-titles sequence in its history. Ted Lasso the character commits to something new after a heart-to-heart. Alice Chilton commits to party clothes, eventually. Coach Beard commits a party foul. Roy Kent and a special guest star commit to an explosive bit that panelist Chip’s Roy Kent Blind Spot (TM) totally didn’t see coming. Panel

Total Party Kill 570: Some of My Favorite Ideas Are Bad Ideas
Tink carries a rope. Cherish misty steps. K’ronng stabs a cloud. Jaee(’s player) reads her character sheet. Levithia punches the air. Host Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Kat Griffiths, Kathy Campbell, and Monty Ashley.

Biff! 278: Lanterns ep 1 & 2
After weeks of superhero cartoons we’ve moved on to HBO’s Lanterns series. A couple of space-cops with a magic ring that can make anything they imagine manifest before them in physical form set out to solve the mystery behind a mass shooting at football stadium in Nebraska. That’s the pitch. Is it a good show? Yes. You should watch it. But also listen to us talk about it. Hosts Dan Moren, John Mol

Vulcan Hello 123: "Like Chronotons Through the Hourglass" (SNW S4E7)
Don’t catch the Space Madness, because it’s time to talk about the latest episode of “Strange New Worlds,” in which Trelane puts the Enterprise (except Pike) into a soap opera! Once again, we’re genre hopping—but is “Q episode” not a tried-and-true Trek genre? And does this not emotionally serve Pike, who recently survived a “life-in-a-day” episode of his own? Get your popcorn ready and watch out

The Incomparable Mothership 833: She Thought She Heard the Ice Cream Truck
Now the curtain is going up, “The Sting” is starting the show! Snappy patter and jokes, along with the star power of Robert Redford and Paul Newman, drive this story of an elaborate con that goes right—or does it?! Also there’s a lot of Scott Joplin music. Host Jason Snell with Micheline Maynard, Dr. Drang, Monty Ashley, and David J. Loehr.

Football is Life 40: "Riches of Embarrassment" (S4E5)
Are you ready for some football? Football is Life is back and your friends Chip, Brian, and Kathy are excited to see some actual football in this show. The Greyhounds are up against Chelsea in the FA Cup, which is certainly exciting; but, there’s also a fair bit of quality time spent with the many relationships on the show. Tune in for some predictions from Chip and Kathy on where things might end

Game Show 290: Purple Polar Bear Parachute Pants
In this edition of Random Pursuit there’s a lot of guessing, many colours, and quite a bit of self-doxxing. Most importantly, a good time is had by all! Hosts Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Jay Miller, Jesse Reid, Lex Friedman, Monty Ashley, and Scott Ensign.

Biff! 277: My Adventures with Superman S3 ep 7-10
This week Q takes us to Battle World on My Adventures With Superman. Once that gets sorted out we’re up against the Big Bad. Can Clark get his powers back? Will our gang save the day? Are they going to stick the landing of this fun and unexpectedly thoughtful show? Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Total Party Kill 569: You Are Now Free to Move Around the Castle
Jaee jigged when she should have jagged. Tink(’s player) has so many questions. K’ronng reaches out to the porch. Levithia is menaced by a monster. Cherish is livin’ glaive life. Host Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Kat Griffiths, Kathy Campbell, and Monty Ashley.

Incomparable Radio Theater 4.10: There You Are: Floyd Collins
Inspired by the true story of a man caught in a cavern while spelunking, the show makes references to three generations of one family of Broadway composers. Also, a quick preview of the next run of shows and even some live shows coming up. Host David J. Loehr.

Robot or Not? 361: Car Wash
Is a car wash a building with machinery in it or a robot? This question allows us to flip the “episodes since ‘Robot or Not’ was about robots” sign back to zero. Hosts John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Sorkin' In It 5.9: Full Hearts (Friday Night Lights S1E9)
An episode of Friday Night Lights called “Full Hearts” can’t lose. Smash’s secret is getting less secret. Coach Taylor isn’t happy with quarterback girlfriends — either Jason Street’s, or QB1 Matt Saracen’s… since Matt is dating Coach’s daughter Julie. Brian and Lex have clear minds, so join them as they go Sorkin’ In It. Hosts Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Vulcan Hello 122: "Off-Hour" (SNW S4E6)

Football is Life 39: "Greyhounds' Day Off" (S4E4)
Episode 4 opens with some familiar and most welcome voices as we soon realize the team needs a common goal, a common enemy, or perhaps both! It’s a wild, funny, and somewhat comforting episode, and your pals Chip, Kathy, & Brian are here to discuss it. Hopefully nobody gets injured or arrested. Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

Sophomore Lit 194: Choose Your Own Adventures
What’s life without choices? How about books that are nothing but choices? Ross Cleaver discusses the choose-your-own genre with examples from both the U.S. and the U.K.: Edward Packard’s The Cave of Time (1978) and Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson’s The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (1982). Host John McCoy with Ross Cleaver.

Total Party Kill 568: The Abyss Ate My Homework
Tink Talks to a fire. Levithia is a clumsy climber. Cherish is surprisingly sneaky. K’ronng is unsurprisingly sneaky. Jaee gets everyone in trouble. Host Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Kat Griffiths, Kathy Campbell, and Monty Ashley.

Robot or Not? 360: Douglas Adams
The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as “Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With.” The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as “a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when

Lions, Towers & Shields 148: Priced to Move for Criminals
Nicholas Ray makes his film debut directing “They Live By Night,” a noir love story. Not your usual, noir dude obsessed by a bad woman, but an actual relationship, conducted under trying circumstances. Kathy O’Donnell and Farley Granger made a couple of films together, but this is the best. Enjoy Howard de Silva as a mean gangster. He has no dance numbers. The film is based on the novel, “hieves L

Vulcan Hello 121: "Level-Five Transporter Accident" (SNW S4E5)
It’s the muppet show!!!!! [kermit flail] Hosts Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

The Incomparable Mothership 831: What Is Even Bolivia?
Our Summer of Sundance kicks off with Sundance himself, as we travel back to the end of the old west (and, later, to the garden spot of Bolivia) to visit a couple of robbers, their lady friend, and their not-very-important gang with “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” Did they use enough dynamite? Is Woodcock a little too loyal to his employer? What does it say about the old west when a call for

Football is Life 38: "Richmond's Got Talent" (S4E3)
While our coaching staff appears to be settled in and working well together, the Greyhounds need to find a striker, even if it means going to the streets. Meanwhile, Ted really has to learn to knock. If that doesn’t make sense to you, not to worry. Kathy, Chip, and Brian talk it through, but do watch the episode first. Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

Game Show 289: The Odyssey Would Like a Word
Once again, we bring together some lovely, generous Kickstarter backers who helped make Uncanny Magazine Year 12 happen! Will the cards be kind to a first-timer?

Hosts Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Dan Moren, David Matthewman, Fred Paffhausen, and Seb Pollard.

Total Party Kill 567: It's Gonna Smell Like Wet Dog

Biff! 276: X-Men '97 S2 ep 7-9

Is a place overseas if you don’t have to go over a sea to get there? Hosts John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Lions, Towers & Shields 147: Roddy McDowall: An Actor's Life
Author (and friend of the show) Samuel Garza Bernstein is back with a story about a character who was central to Hollywood’s Golden Age and beyond. His new book, Roddy McDowall: An Actor’s Life - From “How Green Was My Valley” to “Lassie” to “Planet of the Apes” is the story of a child star who became a beloved friend to many in the Hollywood community. We last spoke with Sam in 2024 when his book

Magnum, podcast 126: "Fragments" live from Detroit (S5E6)
We’ve had a spooky vision! It’s your “Magnum, podcast” season finale live from Detroit on Magnum Day weekend! Your hosts introduce segments… in person! We differ on the quality of this episode, which a majority of our hosts really liked! Is it the prototypical Magnum episode, or is the psychic woo-woo too much? Is this a secret backdoor pilot? Is that how journalism works? We get to the bottom of

The Incomparable Mothership 830: Sad Man in a Van
Buy some flowers and get ready to profess your feelings—we’re here to talk about “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” in which Tom Holland’s Peter gets to be a sad sack who is saving New York while his personal life has fallen completely apart. There are surprising character reveals, unsurprising character twists (well, at least Peter was surprised), interesting guest-star choices, and a lot of themes inv

Vulcan Hello 120: "A Case of Chiaroscuro" (SNW S4E4)
This podcast is presented in vivid black-and-white, as we discuss a Strange New World visit that reminds us a lot of a TOS episode—but without the bright colors designed to sell color television sets in the 1960s. Una ponders space doppelgangers, M’Benga enjoys a selection of hats and coats, and Uhura gets the mind probe. Gratuitous Klingon guest stars! Confusing sci-fi rules! And if you haven’t s

Sorkin' In It 5.8: Crossing the Line (Friday Night Lights S1E8)
It’s time for Crossing The Line. Jason finally asks Lyla point blank: Is your name Lyla or Tyra, I can never remember? No, he asks her if she’s cheating on him with Riggins. (“Yes.”) Plus Matt asks Julie Taylor out. Coach and Tami are thrilled, is a lie I just wrote in this episode description. Sound confusing? Don’t worry. Brian and Lex are here. We’ll all go Sorkin’ In It together. (And to thi

Football is Life 37: "Curiouser and Curiouser!" (S4E2)
We’re back at Nelson Road, where some things have changed and some are exactly the same. Some familiar faces, some new faces, and some faces not there anymore. We start to get a peek into the challenges Ted and the gang will be up against this year, but as Chip, Kathy, and Brian are happy to say, it feels like we’re in good hands. Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

Magnum, podcast 125: "Mr. White Death" (S3E9)
Hey, it’s the one with Ernest Borgnine! He’s a wrestler down on his luck, which means we have to turn to Phil to get a read on the wrestling nonsense in this episode. Sit down next to me on the same side of the sushi table, Mag, real natural like. Detroit Death Grip Dept.: We will be in Detroit THIS SUNDAY, August 16, for Magnum P.I. Day at the Detroit Tigers. We are going to try to meet listener

Total Party Kill 566: My Conscience Is Now Clear
In this conclusion to Shard of the Accursed, the party makes a lot of noise, one character gets possessed, and several players read their character sheets. Host Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, and Monty Ashley.
