01: The Lymond Chronicles with Gavia Baker-Whitelaw

02: Hackers with Lucas Brown

I've met my match in remembering insignificant minutiae with Lucas Brown (@lokified), a fellow Canadian expat who hosts his own lovely podcast (@themathofyou). He also knows a lot about computers, which comes in handy, as we are talking about Hackers! It's a mid-90s movie about computer hackers and their l33t floppy discs, and if you haven't seen it, you're missing out! Lucas also talks about the time he schooled his own teacher on Macbeth. Anyway, type "cookie" you idiots! [Intro music is by Allison Stock, cover artwork is by Nathan Stockman.]

01: The Lymond Chronicles with Gavia Baker-Whitelaw

Gavia Baker-Whitelaw (@Hello_Tailor), who writes for the Daily Dot, is a self proclaimed fan of “gothic, operatic sumptuousness.” She is also entirely responsible for my Lymond problem. The Lymond Chronicles is six novels worth of emotionally satisfying fanfic tropes that have been elevated to masterful historical fiction. You've probably seen me screaming about it on twitter, but Gavia and I actually break down what these books are about. Spoilers have been bleeped out or removed entirely, so this should be safe for everyone to listen to!
