I am joined by Jane from the venerable Batting Around Podcast in order to discuss nightmarish 2014 animated straight-to-DVD feature Henry & Me in which a cancer-stricken child is visited by the ghost of Lou Gehrig who whisks him to the nether-region between life and death which just so happens to be Yankee Stadium.

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★On this episode, we have musician blackwinterwells aka Rodney to discuss the recent retraction of false allegations surrounding him. We're discussing this not to assign blame, but rather to investigate the possible reasons and motivations behind this thankfully uncommon, yet oddly reoccurring phenomenon wherein a person's character is wholly assassinated based not on specific actions, but rather a self-perpetuating nebulous assignment of guilt.

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★It's been a year since I start HRT and I thought I would offer some of my various neuroses to you. I talk about my anxiety in dealing with promoting oneself as an 'identity-brand,' and how this provided unique colour in the more general experience of changing how I am perceived in the eyes of others. Cursed with the mark of the media, I try to reconcile my discomfort in the act of mass promotion with my desire to create a document of my experiences and for others to maybe take solace in being familiar with these experiences.

I am joined by Champion Sloth Casey Explosion to discuss finding joy in a medium with vast potentials for wondrous creativity in spite of a countervailing force that uses this medium as a seemingly crass, but continually relevant wedge issue to stoke reactionary sentiment. Is all nostalgia Fascist? We answer this definitively. The answer is yes.

I am joined by author and artist Bitter Karella to discuss our mutual obsession with the bizarre political trajectory of the webcomic Sinfest, whose creator Tatsuya Ishida went from centrist liberal to second wave feminist to SWERF to TERF to outright Fascist in the span of a few years.

I am coming out as Trans. Tired of being secretive about it. Didn't really want to make a comic or post about it, but long audio format actually is optimal for saying what I want to say in the way I want to say it, so here you go... a freakin' podcast.

I talk to writer and filmmaker StolenDans about the legacy of Bob Dylan and how he's poised for a revival in the popular consciousness due to continuing political and social relevance of his music. It gets a little 'freewheeling,' but our 'desire' to show you 'another side' of the man will have you 'empire burlesque.'

I am by nature, a luddite and some vast cultural networks, like Twitch streaming have utterly passed me by in terms of my awareness of its impact. Lucky I have on streamer extraordinaire Amber Carr to initiate an old chunk of coal like me into this wily world. We also discuss her new DnD podcast Skulltenders and how streaming and TTRPGs can both allow you have to have meaningful social interaction in structured spaces.

I am joined by writer Michelle Perez to discuss her and Remy Boydell's incredible 2018 graphic novel, The Pervert. I reacted VERY strongly to this book as do most people who read it, so it is a great thrill for me to have Michelle on to answer some of the questions that were lingering in my mind after I finished reading it.

I am joined by Rob DenBleyker of Cyanide & Happiness to discuss our current, bizarre age of webcomic distribution and monetization. We also discuss the incongruous nature of having been given a platform through crude jokes but then feeling compelled to use it to comment on serious matters like the genocide in Gaza.
