306 Hockey RPF

Strap on your skates, assholes. This week we're doing it Kate Beaton style and getting all fucked up on Hockey. Whether you're not sure why Hockey RPF suddenly exploded as a major fandom and want to experience the joy and agony of #sports or you're already with us, this episode is like the steroids we're sure no professional athlete would ever take. Pru abandons MK with Merelyn, Twentysomething, and the Hoyden to talk lockout, why some pairings are bigger than others, and just how seriously Canada takes their national winter sport.

305 The Fourth Wall

You thought surveillance by The Machine was bad, this week, we talk about fandom and our best friend slash worst enemy, the fourth wall. We discuss its origins, the ways it's changed with the advent of technology and the proliferation of fan culture, and the topics that plague us today: what constitutes a fourth wall break, and just what the hell we can do about it.

304 Person of Interest

You are being watched, /reporters. We have a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. We know because we feed our data into it constantly because it is called Twitter and Tumblr. It was designed to detect acts of hipsterism and asinine updating, and it sees everything, even people with FEELS like you. FEELS that other podcasts may consider "irrelevant." We don't. Hunted by our better judgment, we work not really in as much secrecy as we should considering; and if your topic is up...we'll see you at the podcast.

TL;DR: This week's episode is about Person of Interest. We made Leupagus come on and talk about it like she was lancing a boil made of AGONIZING FANNISH SUFFERING. Check it out.

303 Writing with Hapakitsune

Have you ever found writing to be a light, liberating, fully joyful experience? Yeah, we haven't either. Crank up your ennui and start questioning all of your life choices folks, because Hapakitsune joins the /report duo this week to talk how we got started writing, why we keep writing, how we keep from giving up on our writing, and everything in between.

302 The Hobbit

Pack your bags, you perverts, we're going on an adventure. This week, /report scams people who actually have strong feelings about Tolkein into talking about The Hobbit in all its dwarfish splendor, what worked, what didn't work, how nauseated we variously got at the frame rate, and — most importantly — jokes about the inevitable Bilbo/Smaug that, like winter, is coming.
