Episode 314 – Melinda Snodgrass
This week’s episode was recorded live at CONvergence 2018. We were fortunate enough to have Guest of Honor Melinda Snodgrass join us to talk about a wide range of topics including constitutional law, role playing games, and even Star Trek! She also used to be an actress. So she’s pretty much the greatest guest we’ve […]
Episode 260 – CONvergence 2017
This week, we are getting ready for our annual trip to CONvergence! Our podcast debuted there five years ago and we all have very personal connections to the convention.

Episode 211 – Amanda Marcotte
This week’s episode was recorded live at CONvergence 2016 and features political journalist Amanda Marcotte. Much as we did a couple weeks ago with C. Robert Cargill, we spend this episode discussing the current political climate.

Episode 210 – Laughing at the Darkness
This week we present the first of two episodes recorded live at CONvergence 2016!

Episode 209 – Brexit and Trump
This week we talk with our friend C. Robert Cargill. Cargill is a novelist (Dreams and Shadows) and screenwriter (Sinister, Dr. Strange) but we talked to him about politics. Cargill is a Christian and a moderate conservative so he provides a considerably different viewpoint from one normally found on our podcast. We spend some time looking at […]
Episode 207 – Safe Spaces and CONvergence

Episode 206 – Utah Boners
This week, we explore our latest geeky boners!

Molly and Nick pretend to care. Molly is playing a […]
Episode 159 – Transgender in the News
This week we are joined once again by Miranda Richards. She recorded with us in the luxurious hotel room studios at CONvergence 2015. With all the big GLBT news including Caitlyn Jenner and the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, we decided to talk about that for the majority of the podcast. However, Miranda was also […]
Episode 158 – Goodbye Buffalo
For our second episode recorded live at CONvergence, we sat down with our good friend Rebecca Watson to talk about her move from Buffalo to San Francisco. In case you’re wondering, she is pleased with the choice. We only had about 25 minutes so we barely scratched the surface of the awesomeness of San Francisco. […]
