We’re Everything in Poderation, a show that explores the intersection between the internet and weird, nerd culture, including video games, anime, and other oddities. Internet culture has changed the human experience, making discourse more complex than ever before. Join us as we parse the digital era into digestible bytes, one whimsical topic at a time. After all, everything in moderation, including moderation. New episodes on Thursdays, wherever you get your podcasts.
Supernatural, the homoerotic television phenomenon that captivated Tumblr, recently closed with a controversial confession that rivaled the US election results. Is Destiel finally canon? Can we lay our weary heads to rest? Probably not.

CW: This episode contains mention of sexual assault and suicide. It's another week of being disappointed in leadership at a major video game publisher. The state of California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing is suing Activision Blizzard, alleging that it fostered a workplace environment rife with gender discrimination and sexual harassment. This isn't the first major publisher to face such allegations, either. Can we still enjoy World of Warcraft or Call of Duty? Should gamers care about these allegations? What does this mean for the future of the games industry? https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/activision-blizzard-sued-by-california-over-frat-boy-culture Twitter: twitter.com/everythinginpod Email: everythinginpod@gmail.com Original music by Native (aka Jack McGinnis) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/everything-in-pod/message

Six Days in Fallujah was recently revitalized for 2021. This first-person shooter based on the Second Battle of Fallujah will be totally apolitical, according to the head of the publisher.
