Well hey, hey, hey play-cousins! Don't think we forgot about you! We are back with a whole new Part 1 of our Wicked & Wicked: For Good Reviews! Join us as we delve into all, and I do mean ALL, of the Wizard of Oz source material since 1900 and show how it's coalesced to make the Wicked we know and sometimes love today! Topics include solidarity, radicalization, evangelicalism, the gap between idealism and political reality, and what it truly means to be branded a villain in the face of tyranny. Should Elphie have just murked that Wizard when she had the chance? Oh y'all thought this was gonna just be goofy? We get IN it! There is a lot of goofiness too...Alright, alright. Let's get it!

Vampyres & Freedom Fighters; Chaos & Clay: The Monster Mash, Part I.

Annddd we’re back at it with Part 1 of our spooky-seasonally-appropriate-series, The Monster Mash! In this episode we’re focusing on Vampires and what they reveal about power, race, and capitalism? We're tracing bloodlines from ancient Lilith to modern-day monsters, exploring how vampy mythology shifted from demonizing female sexuality to celebrating male dominance during the Romantic era; and how they’ve been white, white, white for most of the time! From some of your fave YA hits like Vampire Academy and Vampire Diaries to the on-screen representations of Blackness and vampyres in shows and films like The Originals and The Twilight Saga, to some more speculative interpretations of vampire mythologies (a la Octavia Butler and Markus Redmond), we analyze just who gets to be immortal—and why it matters. This episode asks: Who are the real vampyres? What does generational sacrifice look like? How do we defend Black liberation while building toward collective freedom? Join us for some blood, teeth, chaos, & clay… Let’s get it!
