[With a fun little note on the future of this show….] Some podcast recs free from viruses or the mention of (mostly). Rather, M offers up a list of shows that strike at a different part of this whole pandemic situation. Specifically the human connection part, which we all need right now.

[Posting has been super erratic, and I apologize. There is a quick note this week, but next episode, (in two weeks, I promise) I’ll be able to better explain what is going on.] It was Public Domain Day, which is exciting, but especially if you know what it is and what it means. But since this is something we don’t often talk about, M is going to need to explain.

[Apologies for the delays. Struggles with perfecting the script were then swallowed up my malfunctioning fire alarms. Hard to say which is worse for a podcaster, really...] Grief is a touchy subject, but it is also an inescapable one for some of us, though there are ways we can cope with it.

Adaptations are... Well, we want them to be an art form, but they also promise to be profitable considering there's already a cultivated batch of consumes. But that doesn't mean they can't be done right. M considers the subject. After having to revamp her script because of an announcement...

[Studio Note: As Miscellany Media Studios prepares to expand, the posting schedule for Miscellany Media Reviews has been shifted a week to try and minimize audience-cannibalization. The biweekly model will continue going forward.] Things have been... Well not exactly weird but difficult. And maybe our media consumption habits have changed accordingly. Especially for M.

Is sub-podcasting a thing? Anyway, after trashing a script about something that won't be named, M is getting around to addressing that one hot take that filled Twitter for far too long (because any time was too long).

Some mail delays put off this episode, but woo boy, the book was worth the wait for M! This episode not so much... But anyway, today, M wants to talk about an important kind of book. She calls it "The Gateway Book," as an adapted term from one of her English teachers. Can a book be so good that it can convince you to get back into reading a certain type of book? The answer is obviously, yes. Topics for Today's Episode: A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A.

In this episode, M takes the opportunity to almost rant about societal conceptions about motherhood but actual complain about our fascination with fictionalized accounts of Henry VIII. Consider that a warning. More important, M takes the opportunity to tell you about two podcasts that tell amazing stories: one personal and one historical. There's a way to do both right, so let's celebrate the ones that do.

A novel about your favorite podcast character can be great until it asks you somewhat uncomfortable questions.... M's talked about the first two Night Vale novels though. Why let global circumstances stop her from talking about the third when a bookstore was able to come through and get her the copy she was really excited for.

Podcasting reviews for charity in April 2020 - podchaser.com As a (delayed... sorry!) part 1 of a surprise two parter, M talks about repeating the past as a way of getting through the present.

Podcasting reviews for charity for the first half of April 2020 - podchaser.com We're in the midst of a tragedy unfolding. There's always the desire to find some sort of silverlining, especially for those of us who are trying to soften the blows, but there's one hope that comes with its own barbs. That's the one M is capable of talking about.

It seems at best absurd and at worst insensitive to post a eulogy in times like this, even if my Dad died 13 years ago, but I think in times like this, we may try to make peace with the way people change before our eyes or the gaps that we are suddenly aware of. BoJack Horseman is one of my favorite shows ever, but for all the twists and turns and existential punches, all I got out of it was an idea for a eulogy over a decade too late.
