This week, in Part 2 of the "Grace is on Holiday and its dangerous to go alone", Nick and James continue trying to understand complicated fandoms, this time taking a look at the Metal Gear Solid Universe.

Both Grace and James watched the new anime, and you'll be shocked to hear they have opinions... Join us as we look for a fanfic better than the recent anime, and answer hard hitting questions like, What IS Hysteria? What is Dark Crack? Who is Miles Stallion? Why does Nick hate Star Wars?

This week (admittedly late, blame James), we revisit the Team Fortress 2 fandom, which was a delightful exploration last time. Now that TF2 has received its first (comic) update in seven years, will we see any changes in the fandom? We also ask other hard hitting questions, like; Is the Marilyn Manson rumour from high schools across the world still alive? Is it even possible to do that? We ask Wikipedia.

This week, Grace is away so Nick & James are left to be unhinged about Disco Elysium. Now that Nick has beaten the game, we'll be talking spoilers pretty heavily so do bear that in mind before joining us on our journey.

We've been hyped enough for Sonic 3 all the way through last year, Grace and James saw it on the opening weekend and it lived up to the expectations.

We're back, our haitus was slightly longer than usual because everyone got ill one week after another. This extra long episode was mostly a thinly veiled excuse to gush about Wallace & Gromit, but we do talk about other things we enjoyed last year we didn't get a chance to last year, including: The Thing Wallace & Gromit The Battle of Britain(?) Wallace & Gromit The Beekepper Nosferatu but that will probably get its own episode down the line, lets let the fandom cook for a bit more And of course Wallace & Gromit. Enjoying the show?

A brief discussion between Grace and James about what men really get up to in the bathroom. This one is pretty crude so feel free to skip if that isn't your jam. Real episode is tomorrow.

Hey guys, No episode today, but we're posting a bunch of stuff over December so I put this out to point people elsewhere: Today, another dramatic reading goes live on our sister podcast feed (Fanfics & Chill), which can be found on every app and website this podcast is. Part 2 will go up next week. I know The Shipping Forecast has more listeners than Fanfics and Chill, but we have a lot of fun doing the dramatic readings so I hope you have a listen.

Hope to see you there too But most importantly, thank you for sticking with us, its been a rocky year but its been great hearing from listeners and even seeing that we have an audience who enjoys these three British Idiots. We'll be back to recording properly next year...
This week, the Forecasters discuss the ever relevant topic of which robots we would sleep with. We also take a stab at several ethical questions (but this time for real), including: Can Yes Man from Fallout New Vegas consent? At what point does it stop being a sex toy and start being a robot? And at what point would it be cheating? How has Nick not seen Blade Runner yet?? Will Black and Decker sponsor us for these shameless plugs?

This week, James gets to talk about his time with Resident Evil 4, which may not be super relevant right now but its new to him and dammit thats enough!

What started as our Deadpool episode rapidly went off the rails into talking about other Hugh Jackman related projects, so join us this week as James finds a flimsy excuse to talk about the greatest film ever made: the 2004 action adventure Van Helsing. Other tangents include: Was the silver surfer good? Whats the best Les Mis song (and why is Nick wrong about it not being Master of the House) What IS a Wolverine? Who do we ship Ian Mckellen with?

This week, the chaos isn't even our fault! Last opportunity we had to sit down to record things were kicking off in the UK and honestly we wern't in the right mindset for it. So here is something we recorded a month ago, where we do some quotev quizzes to find out: What kind of Faerie we are? What is your Fursona? 10 Signs you might be a furry? And as always, we dick around as we go Normal episodes back soon!
Hey everyone, This is bonus content that didn't make it into the episode, we made Nick take a buzzfeed quiz to find out which Dead Boy Detective he is and we decided to all take part. The answers will not shock you. On the way we shill for the worlds best aquarium, this isn't even sponsored but they are very good all the same, go visit if you're ever in Yorkshire. The discussion after the 15 minute mark was in the original Dead Boy Detective episode, it just adds context so it felt right to reinclude it. https://www.buzzfeed.com/emopenguin30/dead-boy-detectives-character-quiz Quiz is here if you want to play along, thanks to Buzzfeed for answering lifes great mysteries.
This week, all three of the Forecasters unite once again to talk about a topic close to our hearts; British Twinks that Solve Supernatural Mysteries. Join us in our Dead Boy Detectives episode, as Grace gets so invested in a ship that she forgets we're recording. James comes to terms with the fact he is 'The Charles' (but only in that he is posh and bossy), and Nick embarks on a quest to find a Dead Boys/Columbo fic, and learns how to serve cunt along the way.

This week Grace and James, in a very late Father's Day special, take some time to answer the age old question: Who has the most daddy issues? Join us as we take unexpected tangents into real world history, James mixes up something Graces really likes with something Grace really hates, and figure out if the CEO of Red Bull writes Yaoi (probably not).

We interrupt our usual podcast to bring you an emergency alert, remain indoors and seek shelter from the Fallout. This week we return to the Fallout universe. Last time we did a Fallout episode we titled it "Deathclaw Underboob" because we mostly saw Deathclaw content. Now, its the Ghouls turn. This was supposed to be the Fallout TV episode, but that doesn't stop Nick from staying exclusively in the New Vegas tag. If you've got a fic you'd like us to read, send it over!

This week, we conclude our Dungeon Meshi coverage perfectly timed with their season finale (which needless to say, we haven't seen at the time of recording). Join us as we talk about where we've been over the past month and talk about the three fics from Dungeon Meshi we read in that break. Grace takes us to a modern magic AU, where monsters are real and so is the thriving monster themed sex toy industry, in 'Accurate Models'. Nick answers a question that has plagued penis-owners for generations ("at what point does it stop being 'just a shake'?") in 'Sword Fighting'. And James once again set out for yuri but found political intrigue in 'Feathers and Fur'. We don't know how this keeps happening to him, but he's very pleased Fics and Timestamps* Accurate Models by Kurikuri (23:45) Sword fighting by Randyrobot (47:10) Feathers and Fur by IzutsumiSupremacy (TerminalMiraculosis) (59:00) Chapter four came out the same day we were set to record, so apologies this isn't a full look but I love what I've seen so far! *some podcast players don't like hyperlinks, but you can find these on our tumblr too.
This week, Grace and James take some time to discuss Real Person Fics. James does know that it is RPF and not RFP, but somehow he manages to get it wrong every single time it comes up in this episode.

This week, the forecasters get into Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon. We came for the fantastic autistic representation and Marcille/Fallin, and while we found that, we also found a surprising amount of thirst for all three foot seven of Chilchuk Tims.

Join us at we talk about our favourite fics: James unlocks a secret OTP he didn't know he could want or like in 'I Love You, Colin Robinson'. Nick goes back in time to read Arthur Conan Doyle's very own WWDITS Fanfic, in 'what we do in the shadows (victorian edition)'. And Grace shows us how a Nandor/Guillermo confession would realistically go down, in 'Be Kind, Rewind'. Fics and Timestamps* I Love You, Colin Robinson by darkshrimemotions (8:30) Part Four is now up, but when we recorded there were only three parts! what we do in the shadows (victorian edition) by meltingthroughthesky (41:30) Be Kind, Rewind by SeptSapphire (59:20) *some podcast players don't like hyperlinks, but you can find these on our tumblr too.

Hey everyone, If you listened to our last episode, you'll know Grace's Internet cut out halfway through recording and Nick and I had no idea when she would be back. So we did the only thing we could: immediately derail the episode to talk about the one topic Grace won't let us cove; beloved and frankly top tier Sci-fi series Farscape. If you'd like to here us* simp for Aeryn Sun for about 15 minutes before Grace comes back enjoy this interlude. And if you haven't already, go watch Farscape its really good. By the way, we're all ill right now and behind on recording, next proper episode may well be late, but it is coming. *James

Happy Romance Day Today, after four years of making fun of Grace for her kinks, Nick and James (mostly James) spent an hour revealing they know more than is healthy about the website Pornhub.com and its prominent figures.

Captains Log, Stardate -360700.94. We have returned to AO3 to stock up on spicy non-human romance stories. Grace, having been freshly introduced to Star Trek has jumped right into the deep end of Garashir. Nick ever fond of the classics, has brought us some Spirk love, and gives us some Vulcan Rizz along the way. James got his wish from the last episode and found a fic about Gul Dukat, but also stops for a little bit of Boimler/Spock (Spoimler?), but not in a way where anyone has fun.

Its time. I don't know who let him do this, or how Grace's arm was twisted into it, but James has been allowed to talk about Star Trek. If you thought Nick wasn't normal about trains, you've clearly not asked James which is his favourite Enterprise (its the NX-01, but Sisko is my favourite captain). Join us as Grace, Nick and Mostly James talk about Star Trek, the fandom that brought us men in heat and the term 'slashfic' in general. Grace faces the Tuvix Dilemma, Nick discusses his alternative financial plans, and James simps for Best Villain Gul Dukat.

Ahead of Sundays episode, James poses an important moral quandry...
Hey there, bit of an odd one this week. We recorded the episode live, since we happened to all be in the same place for the first time in three years. And while I think it came out pretty well, it was also a bit drier than our usual content (I guess it was harder to talk over each other in one place!) So, to balance out the more serious reviews, the first third of this episode is bonus content, just us having a laugh a few days later. We didn't have a plan for this, we just noticed the episode was short and just talked for a bit. So, if you're just here for Yuri on Ice you can skip to around 31:30, but if you like us chatting shit, here we are Ok, disclaimer out of the way. This week, we Salchow our way into the arena to share our favourite fics from the Yuri on Ice fandom! On our way, we discovered not one but TWO amazing AU formats we'd love to see get off the ground and become as mainstream as certain other Greek Latter named tropes.

This week, it turns out its actually Grace that keeps us from being completely unhinged. We've had to change our schedule at short notice and as is tradition Nick and James are left to their own devices.
