Goals, clubs, and the undead! This week Nate and Ryan talk about their new year, new goals (and themes) including the difficulty of normal bedtimes. Then, they discuss informal groups and clubs while having Matcha KitKats and yet another Lemon drink. Finally, as they talk about Terry Pratchett’s “Reaper Man” they discuss how the death of civilization is a shopping center, the differences between a man-wolf and a wolf-man, and Death’s abhorrence of drama.

Time and tide wait for no one. And so, another year has passed. As is their tradition, Nate and Ryan look back on everything that has happened in the past year and remember their favorite things about it. Then, turning their eyes from their favorite things of the past year, the two discuss a fantastic book with a slightly more troubled world. Picking up from where The Fifth Season left off, Nate and Ryan discuss carnivorous insects, fraught mother-daughter relationships, and long distance murder in N. K. Jemisin’s The Obelisk Gate.

This week Nate and Ryan talk about summer, events, and robots. Nate went on a trip to Okinawa and got a new Synology. Meanwhile, Ryan went to Tokyo Game Show and got sick on a mountain. Then, they talked all about their favorite robots (and robot adjacent beings). After trying a Fanta roulette and a chunky peanut butter KitKat, they turned to their main media where they discussed post-capitalism, what constitutes a human failure, and the importance of a good satchel in their discussion of A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers.
