Podcasts about when daria

When two writerly folks gather together to talk about an episode of Daria focused on the intensely personal craft of writing, you can bet we're gonna be pulled in all sorts of tangents. It's time for "The Story of D," this week on Morgendorks! When Daria submits a short story for publication to a literary journal and gets rejected, she's struck with a crisis of confidence. Also: The Fashion Club goes humanitarian! And Helen's making snacks! This one was a lot of fun, folks. Hope you enjoy!

Grab your oversized Camp Grizzly t-shirt and dig into your flavorless potato chips, it's time to cover "Camp Fear" on Morgendorks! When Daria goes to a summer camp reunion, it brings back a bunch of memories she was plenty happy leaving behind. Meanwhile, Jane and Trent go on a quest to get Trent's passion for music back, and Helen and Jake clean the garage. With sexy results! Oy. No cultural context this week because the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine knocked Rob on his ass. It's worth it, though! Get your Fauci Ouchie!

Time to crush the relationship roles of the heteronormative patriarchy! Or maybe just poke away at it a bit? It's time for "Sappy Anniversary," this week on Morgendorks! When Daria and Tom's six-month anniversary approaches and he doesn't seem interested in celebrating, Daria's torn: Is this something she cares about? Does she care that he doesn't care? What does it mean? Relationships are hard, y'all. This one's a very interesting look at Daria's vulnerability, and we had a lot of fun talking about it. We also dig into the dot-com bubble era of the late 90s and early 00s, thanks to some Jake-related hijinks. Enjoy!

Pull out your magnifying glass and dig deep into that reservoir of televised crime dramas, it's time for "Murder, She Snored," this week on Morgendorks! When Daria falls asleep to a knockoff "Charlie's Angels" episode, the dream sequence that unfurls runs the gamut of crime drama references from the past forty years—all in the service of solving the mystery of THE MURDER OF KEVIN THOMPSON. It's a weird one, folks, and one of us loved it a whole hell of a lot. Won't say which one, but, hint: It's the one who's maybe now a big damn hypocrite for having slammed "The Daria Hunter." This episode of Morgendorks is a bit different, too, because the cultural context is weaved throughout instead of dropped in at the end. Please enjoy!

And just like that the curtain falls on Daria season three with "Jane's Addition," here on Morgendorks! When Daria, Jane, and Trent come together (kinda) to work (kinda) on a multimedia project (kinda)—and it coincides with a cute new guy monopolizing Jane's time—it begins to pull on the threads of Daria and Jane's friendship. Crushes will end! New crushes will begin! Rob will stun us with his complete inability to work with a German accent! All of this, and more! And in our cultural context, we dive briefly into the ways in which the technological revolution of the late 90s impacted high school life. Plus: fan mail!

Some folks want to be forever young, some folks want to please those who want to be forever young, and some just want to be left alone. It's time for Morgendorks! This week, we're looking at "The Lost Girls." When Daria's unknowingly entered into and wins (naturally) an essay contest, she "gets" to spend a few days alongside Val, a prominent teen magazine magnate and pop culture ... eugh, I guess the word would be influencer? Holy cow. For our cultural context, we take a bit of a dive into Jane Pratt—for whom Val is a thinly veiled stand-in—and the potentially insidious sway magazines had over teenage girls of the 90s and early 2000s. Note: We're working on clearing up some of this remaining audio issues. Apologies for the random dips in quality.

It's time to explore the recesses of Daria's writerly mind, with "Write Where it Hurts," this week on Morgendorks! When Daria receives a special assignment from Mr. O'Neill to write a short story about people she knows, she runs headlong into a gnarly case of writer's block. Meanwhile, Helen's doing everything she can to help her daughter out—and running into blocks of her own. We also take a look at moral fiction—a partial focus of this episode. Tune in to see how cantankerous we can get when talking about John Gardner's take on what art actually is. One of us may or may not have implied he's burning in hell. So there's that. Also: Fan mail! And Patreon news! Also also: Nissa has compiled a season two playlist over on Google Play! You can check it out here. Get those good good 90s vibes.

Time to hit the local piercing parlor and adorn our bare midriffs with a nice little chunk of 90s nostalgia with “Pierce Me,” here on Morgendorks! When Daria goes and does something silly (read: gets her belly button pierced) for a boy (read: Trent), it makes her re-examine a few things. Also: Quinn and Helen in a mother-daughter fashion show! It’s an episode packed with wonderful character interactions, and we enjoyed the hell out of it. And for our cultural context, we dive a bit into the navel piercing phenomenon of the mid-90s! Where did it originate? What made it blow up? Find out, here on Morgendorks!

It’s time for splotchy redness and the questionable misplacement of enema bags, as we cover “Ill” this week on Morgendorks! When Daria’s stricken with a bizarre rash, she ends up in the hospital—while Jane tries (and kinda fails) to cover for her. What’s behind the rash? How were that many women in one bathroom stall? What happened to poor Mrs. Sullivan? We don’t have all the answers, or even many, but we’ll give it a go anyway. Also, for our cultural context we take a dive into the epidemic of teenage anxiety. It’s way, way more prevalent than you might think, and it’s almost certainly an older problem than you might realize. Also also! We answer a question from one of our fantastic Patrons! And talk about some really fantastic Daria-related news that you’ve probably seen this past week!

You can take the girl out of Lawndale, but you can’t make her think her present company is any less idiotic. It’s time for “Gifted,” here on Morgendorks! When Daria and Jodie get selected to tour a prestigious prep school, the duo learn all too quickly that while the greener grass on the other side may be smarter and destined to one day run the world, it’s also much more likely to be a smarmy ass about it. Also: Quinn and Jane! Together! We also take a deep and disheartening dive into the elephant in the room with regard to private school demographics (specifically: they are very, very rich and white). It’s a fascinating subject we’ll likely cover more over on the Patreon in the near future!

The 90s are alive and well in Lawndale! Take a dive with us into The Episode that Launched a Thousand Fanfics, “The Road Worrier”! When Daria and Jane decide to tag along with Trent and his bandmate Jesse to Alternapalooza, get get an in-depth look at just how our favorite teenage misanthrope’s psyche holds up to indignity after indignity in front of the Mystik Spiral frontman she’s crushing on hardcore. Courtesy of Nissa, we also get a thorough schooling on just what the hell the alternative movement even was—and where it came from in the first place.

It's time for a rather slapdash look at operant conditioning, as we dive headlong into the (deeply problematic) episode, The Lab Brat! When Daria gets saddled with Kevin (and Brittany with Upchuck) as her lab partner in a psychiatry experiment, we're treated to a milieu of horrendous misogyny and bizarrely unfamiliar takes on characters we thought we knew. Also! Join us as we leap into a tangent and explore the somewhat tumultuous history of high school psychology courses! It's fun! We promise! CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains some brief discussion of sexual assault in the media. If you'd like to skip over this part of our discussion, it starts around 15:13 and ends around 17:17.

Few things are quite as inevitable as The High School Sitcom Party Episode, and Daria knocked hers out nice and early. When Daria helps Britney complete an art assignment, she earns herself an invitation to a huge party at Britney's parents' house. Jane (and Helen's insistence that Daria watch over her sister) convince her to go, despite her reservations—and much to our delight, because otherwise we never would have been introduced to THE AMBUSH OF CERAMIC TIGERS. That'll make sense, I promise. We'll also be taking an in-depth look at just why every high school show has at least one of these party episodes, as well as the research into just how much these young folks of today are actually partying. iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy—and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood, on Amazon "Adolescents misperceive and are influenced by high-status peers’ health risk, deviant, and adaptive behavior."

In our pilot episode of Morgendorks, we look at the unaired pilot of Daria, "Sealed with a Kick"! When Daria borrows a pencil from Kevin and he takes it as a symbol of her unrequited devotion, she's forced to retaliate by breaking his brain (y'know, more) and ruining his relationship with Brittany. It's a lightning-quick five-minute pilot, but we thought there'd be no better place to start. Speaking of "no better place to start," you'll get to meet your hosts! Us! Rob and Nissa! We're affable! Sometimes. We'll explain why we're doing a Daria podcast, why now, and what we're hoping to accomplish. Note: Yeah, we know the date on the RSS feed places this as having been released on 8/4—but our official launch was 8/16 (we're new at this), so we're rolling with that. Next episode will be out on 8/30! Website: morgendorks.podbean.comEmail: morgendorks@gmail.comTwitter: @morgendorks

When Daria didn't show an interest in boys, or girls, or in coupling up like all her other friends, everyone assumed she was just a late bloomer. She wasn't. She was asexual.
