This is a preview of a bonus episode! You can find the rest on our Patreon, alongside hundreds of hours of interviews, TV, Movie, and Book reviews, as well as general musings. ------ This week, our pal November returns to the show to talk about going on her first Live Action Roleplay (LARP). She tells us about the hobby, what the LARP community looks like, and how it accommodates newbies and veterans. She tells us about the virtue of meeting your online friends in real life, and how these kinds of communities can provide a comforting, protective space, in part because of how it is deliberately removed from the social relations that mediate our online lives. But first, Phoebe has a wonderful new Goo to tell us about. You can read about November's experience on the LARP, here: https://novemberkel.ly/2025/07/06/wing-and-a-prayer/ ------ PALESTINE  AID LINKS You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below.

Jackie and MJ are back for this week's Second Helpings! MJ talks about how they learned early that children's show lessons aren't based in reality, and Jackie FINALLY finishes explaining the finger claps! Buzzballz is starting to sell inflatable novelty pools, Jackie talks some "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" talk, MJ says the scene in "Enchanted" with the rats and pigeons rushing into an apartment hit too close to home, and Jackie gives her feedback on the OG "How to Train Your Dragon." Then it's onto breaking down the difference between cosplay and LARP while also apologizing to the campus LARPers she roasted back in her college days. The death of Hulk Hogan brings up memories of the of the wretched leaked Hulk Hogan sex tape, and the death of Ozzy has MJ and Jackie reflecting on "The Osbournes" being their first introduction to The Prince of Darkness, which then leads into a deeper discussion on the relationships the different generations hold to music. "Vanderpump Rules" is servin' up some classic early 2010's fits! MJ and Jackie discuss how the internet reacted to Jennifer Love Hewitt having the AUDACITY to get older, and the weird obsession with people wanting her to feud with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Winona Ryder is also back on the circuit and doesn't get why actresses be slicin' and dicin' their faces, ol' Gooper is above memoirs so she's goopin' out a biography, and Justin Timberlake is ruining the tour....the world tour... Bobby Flay says he's pissed no one brings food to his BBQs, that is except Jon "set a man on fire during a 1990 college hazing" Hamm's wife, and "Amy Bradley Is Missing" is another cruise doc but it's not about poop, but a 1980's missing person case, all that and even more on this week's Second Helpings!! Want even more Page 7?

Alex und Tom haben Lena zu Gast zum Thema Konfliktspiel

What if your school week involved colonizing planets, fleeing Nazis, or negotiating with fantasy kingdoms—all while studying history and science?In this episode, we meet Mathias Granum, the founder of EPOS, a groundbreaking Danish boarding school where students learn through live-action role-play (LARP).Granum explains how EPOS transforms traditional subjects into immersive experiences that teach not just academic knowledge, but critical life skills like empathy, public speaking, and conflict resolution.He also shares the school's journey from idealism to realism, the importance of structure in creative education, and the surprising things he learned from Britain's strictest school.It's a story of costumes, creativity, and the courage to reimagine what learning can be.Visit epos.dk for more information.

This week, we're once again on location at the grand opening of Chance Encounter Games!

"Der Herr der Ringe" gilt als das bedeutendste Werk der Fantasy-Literatur. Logisch, dass daher Rollenspiel-Fans gern in diesem Setting spielen wollen, um mal selbst den einen Ring quer durch Mittelerde zu tragen. Aber welches Regelwerk ist für welchen Spielstil geeignet? Ist der legendäre Klassiker "MERS/MERP" noch genauso gut wie das moderne "Der Eine Ring"? Und kann man das auch alles mit D&D-Regeln spielen oder gibt es sogar eine bessere, lizenzfreie Alternative?

In this episode, Savannah shares with Julie the fact that her friends, when in town for the weekend, asked if all the male-to-female crossdressers in the room could be considered LARPers. Live Action Role Players embody fantasy and sci/fi characters of their own creation, coming together as a community to "live" out their fantasy realm in real life ... whether that be as a convention center, a city park, or at someone's residence. There are many contrasts and comparisons to the lives of cosplayers, crossplayers, LARPers, and gender expansion. At the end of the day, each allows the wearer of the identity to live more "out loud"!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey. Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States. At the moment, Savannah is working on more books, blogs, and projects focused on letting every crossdresser–young and mature–find their own confidence, expression, identity and voice.IG @savannahhauk | FB @savannahhauk | FB @livingwithcrossdressing | web @livingwithcrossdressing.com------JULIE RUBENSTEIN is a dedicated ally to transgender community and the certified image consultant and co-owner of Fox and Hanger.

Send us a text“Live Action Roleplaying, you've love it. We get together the first Saturday of the month and everybody is really cool.”“I don't know, I mean it's one thing to play around a table, but I'm not sure about getting all dressed up and acting it out.”“It's not like that. Dress however you want; nobody judges you and everybody is chill.”“Fine, I'll give it a try”That was the recruiting pitch I got for my first ever LARP. Live Action Roleplaying. The guy who was helping run the events was really enthusiastic and he convinced me to give it a try. I grabbed a rulebook, put together a character, got it approved, and then showed up for my first ever LARP.Now I am sure most LARPs out there could easily be described the way that guy pitched his LARP to me. Today, having the experience I have in a wide variety of games and conventions I know that most people will be welcoming, you will fit right in and I don't doubt you will have a great time.Not so much for my first one.You see it was a Vampire the Masquerade game and it was a crappy experience.The costume you wore did matter, everyone was clickier then a spoken word club on meth. And nobody was chill.That experience put me off LARPing for a long time, but over the years I have learned that I just had a bad first experience. LARPing has a lot going for it and a lot of permutations out there that might not seem like LARPing, but are.On this episode Mike, Christina and our special guest, Jen will be talking LARPing. What it means to LARP, what types of LARPs are out there and how to take advantage of this version of our great hobby.Mike, have you done a lot of LARPing?[Kick to Mike]How about you Christina, are you a LARP enthusiast?[Kick to Christina]Jen, You are the subject matter expert.

An episode that took a fantasy and made it reality.In Episode 139 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr Angela Kingdon continues our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture with Dr. Scott Frasard, as we move onto Pillar 4 — World building. Dr. Scott Frasard is an autistic autism advocate who is a published author and an outspoken critic of operant conditioning approaches to change natural autistic behaviors to meet neuro-normative social expectations.Dr Scott Frasard decided he wasn't going to critique the status quo, he was going to build something new. His essay, ‘The World We Built: A Future Where Autistic People Are Respected, Not Repaired,' set in 2075, imagines a world where autism is no longer pathologized. Where the DSM is behind museum glass, and identity is co-created, not diagnosed.You can read it in full here.Here's what defines this core Autistic trait:*

Perfectionism can feel like a badge of honor, but it often hides a deeper fear of being seen as not enough. You pour time and energy into every detail, hoping it'll protect you from judgment or failure, but all it really does is keep you stuck. There's always one more thing to fix, one more reason not to hit “go.” Eventually, progress slows to a crawl, and what started as high standards turns into quiet self-sabotage. It's exhausting chasing an idea of success that never lets you rest. Claus Raasted doesn't just talk about change—he's lived it. After leading the world's biggest LARP design studio, a major career reset pushed him to rebuild from the ground up. Now a consultant and educator, he helps people cut through perfectionism and self-sabotage to unlock what actually works. He emphasizes using your strengths, not fixing every flaw, and speaks honestly about the traps of overthinking and burnout. His message is clear: success isn't about doing everything—it's about doing you better. Stay tuned! Resources: Are you looking for an overpaid rockstar consultant to help you with GETTING SHIT DONE?

In 2021, Witcher fan Ja'Nya Hashi found themself flying overseas to spend four days at The Witcher School, the long-running, now sadly defunct Witcher Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) experience set at a remote castle in Poland. Was dressing up and pretending to be a Witcher-in-training something that was thrilling, confusing...or just a whole lot of cringe? In our newest side quest, we welcome Nya to our studio to find out! Over a couple of Old Fashioneds, Nya discusses their Witcher School experience, from sneaking around the castle's secret passages late at night, to the surprisingly terrifying Nekker hunt, to surviving the oddly relaxing Trial of the Grasses. It's a fascinating, fun glimpse at a Witcher experience unlike any other—where survival (at least for your character) isn't always guaranteed.

Are Baptists just LARP-ing when they talk about tradition and retrieval? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ian Clary—historian, theologian, and co-host of Into Theology—to explore how Baptists fit within both the Protestant and broader catholic tradition. We dive into questions of church history, patristic theology, and the resurgence of retrieval among younger evangelicals. Can Baptists draw from the deep wells of Nicaea, Augustine, and Aquinas without losing their distinctives? Are we heirs or imposters in the great tradition? Find out in this episode.

This week on The Omega Particle, we tackle Deep Space Nine's most aggressively fog-based episode: “The Storyteller.” What happens when Miles O'Brien is forced to LARP his way into being a spiritual icon? Absolute confusion, a lot of yelling, and possibly a new career in motivational speaking. Jon breaks it all down: The cloud monster with bad vibes and worse lighting, Bashir being clingier than a Ferengi credit collector, And a village that defeats evil by listening to bedtime stories with life-or-death stakes. Meanwhile, Jake and Nog try their hands at government diplomacy… and accidentally teach a Bajoran teen how to negotiate peace using casino games. Classic. There's trivia, deep dives, bad fog puns, and a full analysis of why Miles O'Brien should never be put in charge of anything spiritual, ever.
