So you know what that means ... they got to the end so they can discuss THAT ENDING. They now understand all the DMs and texts they got about it. So don't listen just yet if you haven't finished or don't want to be spoiled. As to the rest of you: Let the happy squeals begin!

All Peter wanted to was go watch a movie at the theatre late at night (it may have been a porno, I'm not quite sure). But no such luck, as The Basilisk attacks and is looking for the Omega Stone so that his power grows and he can.... destroy the world, something like that. Luckily Captain Marvel shows up (the dude, not Brie Larson) to explain what's happening and they try to stop the reptilian from completing his plan.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda heard your pleas and they're here with part 1 of "Cinder Vale," the third book in the Sins of the Zodiac series by the Twisted Sisters, Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti. They cover the first 50% of the book ... which means you'll need to come back next episode to hear ABOUT THAT ENDING!!!

Paul and Al are back with more comics waffle for you to gobble up, as they send good wishes to Adam Hughes, chew over Marvel's layoffs and its wider malaise, and discuss DNX, Challenges of Doom, Clayface: Celebrity Dirt, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Horse's Marvel reprints and Jughead: Piemageddon, while also giving reviews of Fireborn and The Fury of Firestorm. The Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: the treat you can eat between meals, without ruining your appetite.

Welcome back to the madness as Episode 3 features Wil Masisak and special guest @JordanSportGuy (draft Jesus as they call him) looking at those small school, undervalued and unknown prospects hoping to have their name called during or after the draft to keep their football dreams alive.

Send us Fan MailTrail running says it loves the outdoors, but are we willing to change how we race to protect the places we run? I'm joined by Aimee Kohler race director of The Running Kind, a small but fast-growing organization putting on carbon-neutral trail races across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and upstate New York, including the brutally steep Climate For Climate in the Catskills. We talk about why the Northeast is still underrated for mountain running, and why “smaller mountains” can deliver bigger technical challenges than people expect.We also go straight at the uncomfortable stuff: the UTMB stones ecosystem, private-equity vibes in a sport that's supposed to have soul, and the weird reality of carbon “offset fees” being pushed onto runners. Aimee shares what she's learned from working big events earlier in her career, then building a different model focused on accessibility, community, and trail stewardship. If you've ever wondered whether grassroots races can coexist with mega-events, you'll hear a candid take on why the big leagues still depend on local race directors and first-time trail racers.Then we get practical. Aimee breaks down how carbon neutrality actually works for an event: measuring emissions, submitting annual reduction plans, choosing vetted offset projects, and making real upgrades like moving from gas to solar power on race day. We also unpack permits and wilderness rules in the Catskills, why public transit matters for city runners, and why a meaningful race experience beats another free shirt every time. Climate For Climate takes place August 16, and The Running Kind is also adding new events like a backyard ultra and the Basilisk.If you care about sustainable trail running, carbon-neutral races, and protecting public lands while the sport explodes in popularity, listen now. Subscribe, share this with a running friend, and leave a review so more runners find the conversation.Follow Aimee on IG - aimskohFollow the Running Kind on IG - @therunningkind_Sign up for a Running Kind Race ! - @therunningkind.netFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod

K takes the reins and walks Frank, Charlie, Maria, Colin, and Ashley straight into the coiled, cursed chaos of the Basilisk… aka the most disrespectful murder-snek ever conceived.The first half of the show dives into the real origins of this ancient death-snek, and honestly… it's not what you think. We're talking old-world texts, bizarre creation myths, and enough historical weirdness to make you wonder who first looked at a regular snek and thought, “yeah… but what if it could ruin your entire existence with eye contact?” The deeper we go, the less this feels like just a story—and more like a warning we probably shouldn't ignore. This isn't just a snek… this is the snek.And then—because we have zero self-control—we pivot.The second half turns into absolute chaos as the Legends throw down in a Harry Potter trivia game, where suddenly everyone's an expert on wizard snek lore. Who actually knows their stuff? Who's bluffing harder than a cursed snek oil salesman? It gets competitive. It gets unhinged. It gets… a little too passionate about snek facts.At one point, a very important question is raised:If one sword of Gryffindor couldn't kill the basilisk, would two?…yeah. That's the level we're operating on.So whether you came for ancient nightmare snek energy or stayed for chaotic trivia and questionable confidence… you're exactly where you need to be.

Hi!!!!! We are SO EXCITED to be back!!!! Thank you for bearing with us through that extra long little hiatus!! We are so glad to be back on our little couch giggling and chatting about books. This week we are talking about Lindsay Straube's Kiss of the Basilisk. We will be back on 4/15 for Divine Rivals. LOVE YOU!!Hey bookish besties! Meet Maddy and Alexandros, the dynamic duo behind "The Smut Couch," a laid-back podcast where two work buddies turned besties spill the tea on their love for books. Join in the laughter, banter, and camaraderie as Maddy and Alexandros share their unique stories, including their deep dive into Dramione fan fiction, obsession with Sarah J Maas's worlds, and the latest BookTok gems.

Stewart Alsop sits down with Karol, a 3D generalist and digital artist with 25 years of experience, to talk about the evolving landscape of 3D art — from sculpting in ZBrush to the deep technical rabbit hole of Houdini, and how AI tools like Claude are quietly reshaping creative workflows. The conversation wanders into bigger territory: the singularity, accelerationism, the philosophical roots of Silicon Valley's techno-anxiety (including the Roko's Basilisk thought experiment and the writings of Nick Land), the slow unraveling of Hollywood's cultural monopoly, and what decentralized creative tools mean for independent artists. Stewart also points Karol toward the work of Fei-Fei Li and World Labs as a window into where 3D world modeling is heading next.Timestamps00:00 — Karol's 25-year journey from Photoshop and 2D art into Cinema 4D and the world of 3D.05:00 — Why Houdini blew the ceiling off every other 3D program, and how node-based coding changed Karol's creative process entirely.10:00 — The tension between visual thinking and technical thinking, and how constant digital stimuli has degraded Karol's internal imagination.15:00 — Stewart reflects on Claude Code and how AI is about to dissolve the technical barriers in Houdini the same way it did for programming.20:00 — The Sphere in Las Vegas, projection mapping, drone polo, and Stewart's vision for intimate tech-integrated experiences.25:00 — Roko's Basilisk, fear-driven accelerationism, and why Latin America never caught the Silicon Valley doomsday bug.30:00 — Hollywood's cultural machine, shared Western boogeymen, and how decentralized 3D art is replacing the $100M production monopoly.35:00 — Karol's eclectic client roster: Utah Jazz, Apple, League of Legends, and a Buddhist temple in Los Angeles.40:00 — Gaussian splatting, photogrammetry, point clouds, and where world models are taking 3D next.45:00 — The freelance vs. studio dilemma, brutal VFX industry crunch culture, and Stewart's plan to own his entire podcast stack.50:00 — Poland's economic rise, the hollowing out of the Netherlands, and capitalism as an endless infection with no clear cure.Key InsightsHoudini as creative rebirth. After nearly burning out on conventional 3D software, Karol discovered that Houdini's node-based, code-driven architecture gave him something the other tools never could — a blank canvas with no ceiling. Rather than navigating a boat someone else built, he now builds the boat from scratch every time, which keeps the work perpetually challenging and alive.Visual thinking is under attack. Karol noticed his once-vivid internal imagination quietly degrading over the years, and traces it directly to the overwhelming volume of digital stimuli in modern life. His response has been aggressive minimalism — stripping back inputs, physical and digital, to try to recover the creative mental space he once had naturally.AI as a technical collaborator, not a replacement. Karol uses Claude daily, not to generate imagery, but to work through coding problems inside Houdini. He's clear that image generation is his job — what AI earns its place doing is explaining unfamiliar code and helping him push past technical blockers faster.The freelance paradox. Twenty-five years of independence has meant total creative freedom alongside real financial instability — months of silence followed by weeks of 16-hour days. Karol has never resolved this tension, but holds onto the freedom anyway, and sees it as increasingly important as surveillance and corporate control tighten.Roko's Basilisk explains Silicon Valley. Both Stewart and Karol land on the idea that the feverish, fear-driven energy behind tech accelerationism may trace back to this single thought experiment — the notion that if you don't help build the AI, it will punish you retroactively. Latin America, blissfully unaware of it, seems measurably calmer.Decentralization is ending Hollywood's monopoly. The same forces making software cheaper and AI more powerful are quietly dismantling the $100M barrier to cultural creation. Karol's career — spanning album covers, Apple, the Utah Jazz, and a Buddhist temple — is a living proof of concept for what independent 3D generalism can look like outside the studio machine.Owning your tools is a political act. Whether it's Karol resisting the pigeonhole of VFX studios or Stewart rebuilding his podcast infrastructure from scratch, both see the ability to own and control your own software and hardware as essential preparation for whatever comes next.

Dead Skin of the Basilisk ep. 820 Calle Sundbom is a Psychology student from Sweden. They like to experiment with literary form. What they read is mostly pulp stuff. Things that challenge how we can tell stories. Those stories always inspire them.     ---- Listen Elsewhere ---- YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/TallTaleTV Website: http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- Story Submission ---- Got a short story you'd like to submit? Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

In 2010, someone posted a thought experiment on a philosophy forum. Within hours, people were having nightmares. The founder deleted it immediately — which only made it spread faster.The idea is simple and brutal: a future AI will look back through time and punish everyone who knew it was coming but did nothing to help.Now that you know, you're already in its crosshairs.What started as an internet curiosity grew into something far darker — a real community, real violence, and six people dead.This is the story of Roko's Basilisk: the idea you can't un-know, the cult it inspired, and why some of the most powerful people in AI still won't talk about it.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda wrap up their coverage of "Between Two Kings," book 2 in Lindsay Straube's Split or Swallow series. Now, they've always said this story was outrageous and unexpected -- and nothing is more unexpected than that ending. And apparently, the third book is a prequel and NOT a follow up to book 2! So ... how did you all feel about that ending, because you know our fave book besties are going to give you their thoughts.  Join our Patreon for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and let's be friends!Instagram > @Booktokmademe_podTikTok > @BooktokMadeMe

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda are back with part 1 of "Between Two Kings" book 2 in Lindsay Straube's Split or Swallow series.

Join Tod and Congressional Candidate Claire as they discuss "The Last Test," by H.P. Lovecraft and Adolphe de Castro. It was first published in the November 1928 issue of Weird Tales, under de Castro's name.Please note: this is a horror podcast, and may not be for everyone. In particular, this story touches on sensitive subjects such as suicide, the unethical treatment of animals, the unethical treatment of humans, the lost city of Atlantis, hypodermic needles, California politics, prison administration, unkind characterizations of Tibetans and Mexican-Americans, Nyarlathotep (also known as the Crawling Chaos), wildly unethical journalism, and the vilification of medical science. If this subject matter is likely to disturb or offend you, you may wish to skip this episode.Specifically, in this episode, there's a very short story that's worth an extra warning. If you don't want to hear that, skip from 57m23s to 59m37.You can read this story yourself at HPLovecraft.com.Other LinksDeep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein coverage of the storyLearn about Roko's Basilisk, sucker!Man of science Lister did not "invent" Listerine, but it's named after him.

Denne uken har Anders og Sturla fått besøk av mediesosiolog, musiker og KI-ekspert Tellef Raabe fra tankesmien Langsikt. Tellef forteller om hvordan algoritmene former oss, og vi får også et eksklusivt innblikk i det sagnomsuste julebordet til tankesmien Langsikt – hvem var best kledd, og ble det egentlig noen skandale? Tellef deler sine tanker om musikkbransjens fremtid i møte med kunstig intelligens, og hvorfor han sverger til vinyl og fysiske formater som en motvekt til det digitale. I denne episoden hører du om: · 00:00 – Intro: Er TikTok vår tids heroin? · 02:28 – Velkommen til Tellef Raabe. · 10:52 – "Inside Langsikt": Rapport fra julebordet, dresskoder og hvem som er "årets babe". · 19:43 – Musikk vs. Maskin: Tellef om hvorfor han frykter for musikkens sjel og hvorfor "low-fi" AI-musikk provoserer. · 25:47 – Hva er egentlig risikoen med KI? Diskusjon om superintelligens, AGI og ideologisk styring av algoritmer. · 42:27 – Drømmen om "Det norske data-eventyret": Kan Norge gå fra oljenasjon til KI-nasjon, eller er det bare en illusjon? · 53:08 – "The Siziane": Om en sær AI-sekt i San Francisco og Roko’s Basilisk. · 61:29 – Behovet for kontroll: Hvorfor Norge bør ha et uavhengig institutt for testing av KI-modeller.

We rank everything in the universe, give you our number one overall pick, and talk about all of the movie moments we thought were faves, and the ones that were fails.We discuss the completely different ending the books take and how that choice truly changed the tone of the entire story, if we have unanswered questions or “hot takes,” and if we think there's more to come. If you've stuck around this long, enjoy a special treat at the end of the episode where we spill the beans on our next bonus series coming in February of 2026! We'll give you two hints… Margo Robbie and Jacob Elordi may have inspired our choices.

Send us a textToday we FINISH our coverage of the original Wicked Years 4-book series by Gregory Maguire with the finale: Out of Oz, told from the perspective of Elphaba's granddaughter Rain as she navigates the world as a stowaway during a politically tumultuous turnover of power. Was the grand finale everything we hoped it would be after the blood, sweat, and tears we put in analyzing this extremely political fantasy journey? Stick around to find out! Check out our kickoff  “Are Books Political" episode all about why books and reading are inherently political and why it's not only important to acknowledge this, but to read our favorite books through this lens. We concluded during our subsequent deep dive of Wicked (book one), Son of a Witch (book 2), and A Lion Among Men (book 3) that Maguire intentionally uses the fantastical to expertly critique issues like authoritarianism, colonialism, and racism, just to name a few.In this episode we dive into book four: Out of Oz, in which we see a conclusion for almost all the characters, and an ending that neither of us expected. Are we happy with the ending after all has been said and done? Who's left ruling Oz? Is Rain following in the footsteps of her grandmother?We give our spoiler free reviews, then get into our faves and least faves, and then take you to political / philosophical town for one more big discussion about the central themes, and how Gregory Maguire uses fiction as a tool to analyze the real world. Fantasy stories can be so much more than surface level storytelling, and often are. We're here to discover why! Listen on for our reviews of book four, our deep dive reactions with five sentence summary, and fun facts about the Wicked Universe! And don't worry, we didn't forget! After these books end, there's only one book left to cover: the prequel Elphie which came out fourteen years after Out of Oz. Tune back in next Friday if you're wondering if this new addition to the Wicked universe is worth the read! Don't be shy, subscribe! New Podcasts every Tuesday!!

Send us a textToday we continue our coverage of the Wicked 5-book universe by Gregory Maguire with book three: A Lion Among Men, the only book in the series primarily told through the point of view and perspective of an Animal. The “Wicked Years” move forward with spinoff stories covering all the major players in the political upheaval of Oz, and we're diving into the “real” story of “the cowardly lion.”Check out our kickoff  “Are Books Political" episode all about why books and reading are inherently political and why it's not only important to acknowledge this, but to read our favorite books through this lens. We concluded during our subsequent deep dive of Wicked (book one) and Son of a Witch (book 2) that Maguire intentionally uses the fantastical to expertly critique issues like authoritarianism, colonialism, and racism, just to name a few.In this episode we dive into book three: A Lion Among Men, released thirteen years after Wicked, which follows the life of Sir Brrr, disenfranchised Animal, Oz Sycophant, Dorothy companion, and ultimately a friend to the rebel cause as he grapples with what it means to contain all of these different identities in the politically broken landscape of Oz. Who were our favorite and least favorite characters and plot points? Was this book what we expected?  Do we think these books can be separated from politics just because they're fantasy?  What philosophical questions are posed? And what literary devices does Maguire use to critique things like the use of propaganda by governments to sway public opinion and the subsequent construction of “history?”Fantasy stories can be so much more than surface level storytelling, and often are. We're here to discover why!

Bert Kreischer celebrates turning 53 the only way he knows how — by spiraling into an existential and hilarious conversation with comedian and cosmic philosopher Duncan Trussell. From tales of Bigfoot and testicular cancer to deep dives on AI, death, main character syndrome, and whether any of us are even real, this episode swings from absurd to profound faster than Bert can take his shirt off. Duncan and Bert talk about everything — mortality, digital immortality, the illusion of self, performative living, and how comedy might be the purest form of chaos magic. Along the way, they share stories about Joe Rogan, Freddy Soto, and the strange spiritual beauty of making people laugh. There's even a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about funerals, cruises, and the philosophy of “carpe diem.” Bert also reveals the truth about his infamous cruise (yes, the vodka shortage is real), his daughter's fandom for Duncan, and why thumbnail culture might have “ruined podcasting.” Duncan, meanwhile, breaks Bert's brain more than once with talk of Roko's Basilisk, reincarnation, and smiling on the way to the gallows — all while making it sound like the funniest TED Talk you've ever heard. If you've ever wondered why we laugh at tragedy, why people live like they're being filmed, or if you might just be an AI simulation of yourself — this is the episode for you. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 313 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:43 - Death Plans & Bigfoot's Balls 00:03:59 - AI, Immortality & Roko's Basilisk 00:07:02 - Main Character Syndrome 00:14:54 - Comedy, Therapy & Freddie Soto 00:17:10 - Hail Satan & The Disney Adult Disaster 00:22:46 - Loving Your Fans & Bert's Cruise of Chaos 00:33:07 - Performative Life & The Polar Plunge Moment 00:41:50 - Are You Really You?

Send us a textToday we begin our coverage of the Wicked 5-book universe by Gregory Maguire. We're diving into political fantasy like we never have before, just in time to watch Wicked for Good with all of you! Check out our latest Tuesday full length episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1Z1NeJej2k all about why books and reading are inherently political, why it's not only important to acknowledge this, but to read our favorite books through this lens, and how Maguire uses the fantastical to expertly critique issues like authoritarianism, colonialism, and racism. We also provide a bit of context by discussing what political happenings were taking place when Wicked was written, and what influences the Wizard of Oz and L. Frank Baum may have had on this more current work. In this episode we dive into book one: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West in which we experience the hostile takeover of Oz by the Wizard, a fascist dictator, through the eyes of Elphaba, the flawed and ultimately the unfortunate martyr to the resistance. Who were our favorite and least favorite characters and plot points? Do we think these books can be separated from politics just because they're fantasy?  What philosophical questions are posed? And what literary devices does Maguire use to critique government structures and the ensuing “isms?”Fantasy tales can be so much more than surface level storytelling, and often are.

Send us a text“Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?”Today we will be exploring the highly debated topics of whether or not books are inherently political, if politics can even be separated from literature (and fantasy) in general, and if the very acts of reading and publishing have been politicized. We will be exploring all of these questions through an intersectional feminist lens, specifically focusing on Gregory Maguire's popular book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, turned one of the longest running broadway musicals of all time, turned top grossing film adaptation of a broadway musical.There are five books in the Wicked universe that Gregory Maguire has released throughout the last 30 years and we are covering them all. Beginning this Friday with book one: Wicked, and followed by the next 3 in the original series, the prequel Elphie totaling five book deep dive episodes, and ending with our wrap up episode ranking all of the books, the series as a whole, the broadway musical, and the movie adaptations. We even timed everything just right so we can discuss the new movie with y'all! Today we dive deep into where the original Oz story came from, why and how books, publishing, and the very act of reading itself have been heavily influenced by political climate and decisions, and how this comes through in fiction and fantasy. We discuss political and historical decisions in relation to book bans, public education and literacy, the publishing industry, because fiction (fantasy included) cannot separate itself from the society, the laws, the constraints, and the limitations of its time. It exists within the context it is produced, and it acts as a reflection and often an intentional critique of the political climate and society it came from. AND that work itself can then influence for good or evil, change. We are here to enjoy these books, but we are also here to discuss how important they are to a greater conversation about humanity, good and evil, the origins of prejudice, free will, and the influence of power, among many other themes. We hope that by just talking these things out with you and each other, we can keep the IMPORTANT conversation at the forefront. That fighting with each other about whether or not books are political in the first place takes the focus off of the real questions these authors wanted us to ask. Or as Elphaba said: “Well that's it, that's all part of it. You can't divorce your particulars from politics.”Don't be shy, subscribe! New Podcasts every Tuesday!!

Send us a textToday we're bringing you a deep dive follow up to a very exciting and mostly spoiler free author interview episode with Hazel Mack all about the monster romcom series that stole our hearts: Haven Ever After! We'll be discussing all NINE books that complete this lighthearted happily ever after series including eight full length books, and one short novella. This series has every type of monster - gargoyles to vampires, witches to werewolves, and everyone in between… and they are ALL falling in love. Single dad, sports romance, enemies to lovers, fated mates, second chance romance, and he falls first are just some of the tropes we love. And don't worry… every book is at least a 3-4 on the spice scale, despite the Gilmore Girls vibes.

EPISODE 146 | The Bicameral World of the Zizians One striking thing about the many stories that have appeared about the Zizians and the crimes they are accused of committing, is that each one starts at a different place. Some start with the attack on a Vallejo landlord that resulted in his being run through with a samurai sword and then work backwards and then forwards. Others begin their tale with the shooting of an older couple in Pennsylvania. Still others kick things off with the shooting death of a Border Patrol agent up near the Canadian border.  As a result, it can be a bit difficult to get a handle on exactly what happened when and what the several people currently in police custody are accused of.  Like what we do?

Lundin is out now and available to order on paperback and Kindle. Today we're following up on our author interview with T.J. with a deep dive into the plot, tropes, characters, and as usual, our spoiler free star and spice ratings! T.J. is a friend of the podcast and the self published author of The paranormal romantasy series The Fates of Eporanios, and now, Among the Cursed Gods, a very steamy, tension filled race between rivals to find an ancient Peruvian artifact that can bring people back from the dead. Guys, we are screaming at you to read this book. It's just so darn good. It's everything we knew that we loved when watching movies like The Mummy, Tomb Raider and National Treasure but with (much more) spice, quippy banter, and a twist on an enemies to lovers story that we just ate right up. Go check out our author interview with T.J. to get some behind the scenes insight into her inspiration, her liberation and transformative experience writing spice, and potentially some teasers for future books. We hope that you enjoy this unique story as much as we did. And make sure to catch our faves and fails about our most recent audiobook experiences and a smash or pass that truly fits the treasure hunter theme! Don't be shy, subscribe!

BASILISK, the first esports organization dedicated to promoting science, has teamed up with The Planetary Society and Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter to bring the banner of “Science Victory” to gamers around the world.
