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.Topics for Today's Episode:Witchever PathHarlem QueenBe sure to check out our other shows: Temporal Light, Oracle of Dusk, and Aishi Online----Music for this Episode by Sounds Like an EarfulSoundslikeanearful.com----www.miscellanymedia.onlineTwitter: @MiscellanyMediaTumblr: miscellanymediaTranscript available: www.miscellanymedia.online/transcriptsSupport the studio: www.ko-fi.com/mmstudios

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.

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.Now with a merch store!!!! - www.teespring.com/stores/miscellany-media-studios - code SEASON3YAY for $4 off your order (minimum $20 order and valid until April 7th)And consider checking out our other shows The Oracle of Dusk or Aishi Online or Temporal Light :) Espeically Temporal Light.

Luminary had a troubled launch, but I think a part of it is that no one fully knows what's going on. And no, I'm not just talking about the lack of communication between Luminary and the podcast world. Luminary unintentionally stepped on landmines of podcasting norms that need to be fleshed out. Maybe the concept can be salvaged. Maybe not, but until we understand what went wrong and what went right, I don't think we can make the judgment call.Sources:1.
