Severance S2E10 "Cold Harbor" Jun 27, 2026 6543 The season really went out in grand fashion, with Innie and Outie Mark in a fierce argument with one another, a boisterous in-office marching band celebrating Mark’s completion of the Cold Harbor file, and a climactic battle between Drummond, Lorne of Mammalian’s Nurturable, and Mark, among other things. I mean, the unpredictable whimsy of this show is sublime :) And of course Karen and I had a bl
Severance S2E9 "The After Hours" Jun 19, 2026 5900 So much heartbreak in this episode, between Gretchen breaking things off with Innie Dylan, Burt and Irving separating, Mark suffering and frustrated, and we even felt bad for Helena being oppressed by her father and Milchick being humiliated by Drummond (devour feculence, Drummond!). Lots to talk about, and I (Jason) am happy to be joined by my good friend Eric this week, with whom it was a pleasu
Severance S2E8 "Sweet Vitriol" Jun 12, 2026 4341 Of course as we suspected, viewing this episode through our analytical podcaster’s lens we found a lot to dig into and appreciate about this episode and it’s implications for Harmony Cobel’s character, the series in general, and what it says about the real world. Still wasn’t our favorite though.  Next up on Severance: S2E9 “The After Hours”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send
Severance S2E7 "Chikhai Bardo" Jun 5, 2026 5991 What a surprising, beautiful, romantic, tragic, f#$ked up episode this week. We found it especially impactful seeing (and feeling) Mark and Gemma’s relationship and life together come alive onscreen, and then so sad to see it destroyed by Lumon. Next up on Severance: S2E8 “Sweet Vitriol”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to waffleparty@podcastica.com. Or j
Severance S2E6 "Attila" May 29, 2026 6158 An episode of thruples (sometimes with only two people), and so of course we invited in a third, listener Damian, for this week’s podcast. Enjoy!

Severance S2E5 "Trojan's Horse" May 23, 2026 5841 An angsty episode this week as the Innies have a funeral for Irving and wrestle with the complications of recent events, and Milchick suffers the indignity of the dreaded performance review.  Next up on Severance: S2E6 “Attila”.

Severance S2E4 "Woe's Hollow" May 15, 2026 6404 Interesting how with just a simple change of scenery, all the weirdness of this show just kind of disappears. Just kidding, MDR’s excursion to the wintery and bleakly beautiful Woe’s Hollow was weird as fuck, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We’re delighted to be joined this episode by Rachel, who’s been granted provisional access to this audio experience. Please enjoy her insights equally. 
Severance S2E3 "Who Is Alive?" May 8, 2026 4771 An odd, lovable episode this week, with a lot of small movement on various fronts. I mean, I suppose you could describe like 75% of all Severance episodes that way…. This one had goats in it, which does narrow it down. Some.  Next up on Severance: The season two premiere, S2E4 “Woe’s Hollow”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to waffleparty@podcastica.com.
Severance S2E2 "Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig" May 1, 2026 5501 Is it weird that when we get an episode exclusively set in the outside world that we miss the office? Well, we did find a ton to love about this one too, because this show is always mysterious, funny, beautiful, and thought provoking, among other things.  Mentioned: Sesame Street: Bert Dances To Doin' The Pigeon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDJsgtoizj8  Next up on Severance: The sea
Severance S2E1 "Hello, Ms. Cobel" Apr 24, 2026 5398 A propulsive (and yet regressive?) first episode of the season, bringing up new questions and feeling like things have been frustratingly papered over in that way that only mega-corporations can do. And yet, we can’t wait for more :) Mentioned: Ben Stiller & Adam Scott Break Down 'Severance' Season 2 Opening Scene | Vanity Fair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOeFQ2ghR3U Next up on Se
Severance S1E9 "The We We Are" Apr 17, 2026 5404 Is this one of the all-time great episodes of TV ever? Would I be asking that question if we didn’t think it was? Possibly.  Next up on Severance: The season two premiere, S2E1 “Hello, Ms. Cobel”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to waffleparty@podcastica.com.

Severance S1E8 "What's for Dinner?" Apr 3, 2026 4352 The quarter is over, the quotas have all been met, and the innies are making a metaphorical break for it. This week Karen is joined by special guest Lucy for a discussion of all that and also the ethics of parties involving waffles.  Next up on Severance: The season one finale, S1E9 “The We We Are”.
