LARPers Part 2

We're back for the much-anticipated part 2 of Kaia's weekend-long LARP adventure. Day 2 had our favorite NPC being chased off a battlefield, questioned by a squire, and in her first named role! Will she stand her ground when faced with the op (the lady knight from day 1)? Listen to find out!

LARPers Part 1

Lights, Camera, (Live) Action (Roleplay)! Have you ever wondered about the people playing with foam weapons in your neighborhood park? Wonder no longer, because Kaia  ventured far into the woods of Washington State for a weekend-long, immersive LARP event, and has emerged with a surprise tale for Den in two-parts. This scene has it all: thrilling (scary) combat, political intrigue, Broadway-level costume and makeup departments, and an open bar for all NPCs!

Bronies

We took a trip back to the 2010's - when forums reigned supreme - for a delightfully cringey retrospective on Brony culture. Bronies AKA adult (typically male) fans of My Little Pony were a remarkably strong fandom, selling out convention centers and supporting cottage industries like suggestive MLP body pillows. What's left of Brony culture in the 2020s? The answer may scare you.

Bingo!

Grab your dauber and pour yourself a crispy rootbeer float because it's BINGO time, baby! Yarden filled in her bleached brows, marched herself to an ATM, and faced down security guards to bring us an exclusive peek into the most sceneless of all scenes: a Veterans of Foreign Wars Bingo Hall. And yet... aren't the most sceneless scenes in some ways the sceniest scenes of all? Other topics discussed include the ethics of gambling, meta-analysis of reality tv editing, and the right way to depict genitalia on a bingo card. Warning: listening may cause vocal exclamations and/or celebratory shouts of victory.
