Nov 22 2017 33 mins  
Grace, Stevie, and Nemo introduce what is perhaps France’s greatest piece of literature with Olympus innuendos, mammoth egos and why you can read Black Lives Matter into debates happening in the 19th Century. We also just really love Javert and Gardening AUs. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin, and Julian Yap. The audio direction and intro composing was by JDWasabi. It is

Grace, Stevie and Nemo get the very wrong end of the stick, talk about sweaty greatcoats and screw orphans over for chairs. Do we ever realise our fondest dreams?

Special! We watch the 2012 film and talk: Hugh Jackman (a lot), D&D alignments (again), George Blagden, Horses, Christians (surprisingly), and reading fanfics for SCIENCE. Film/TV mentioned: The Greatest Showman, The Last Jedi, Mamma Mia!, Big Eden, Imagine Me and You, Whitechapel, Lewis, Grease. Anyway, Nemo is bitter about story cuts and thinks everything’s a lot better in the

Bread & Barricades: v, Pop and/or Lock

Feb 01 2018 66 mins  
Not going to lie, this episode's a bit... wild. Nemo, Grace and Stevie talk yaoi anime, the TERROR, horse fashion shows, intended audiences, Shakespeare, vigilantes, Government shutdowns, and Nemo hallucinates an alternate dimension. Not really sure where we went wrong, but I think we were doomed from the beginning. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin, and Julian Yap. The a

RELIGION! Is it important in Les Mis? I mean, yeah. Probably. Sorry for the hiatus, but Nemo, Stevie and Grace are back at it again with Victor Hugo conspiracy theories and self-inserts, Epic Academic Rap Battles and come across the ULTIMATE Javert-Valjean theory. Providence and Destiny y’all. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin, and Julian Yap. The audio direction and in

This week we spend a good 15 minutes google mapping France, God sets a bear on some children, and Jean Valjean (FINALLY) walks 500 miles (and would walk 500 more). Also, huge thanks to Urban-Barbarian for THIS beautiful photoset! Find Kath here. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin, and Julian Yap. The audio direction and intro composing was by JDWasabi.

TW: Suicide and Death mentions, Food and Starvation and mentions of dubious consent. Today Grace, Stevie and Nemo talk to special guest Autumngracy! We do fanfic 101, talk slowburns, punching Victor Hugo in the face, Toulon and research, problematic fics and dubcon, shirt-ripping romances and, inexplicably, London Chicken Shops. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin, and Julian

TW: extensive conversation about Depression. This week, Stevie has Dreams of a Live show, Nemo’s enamoured with the Japanese Les Mis, and Grace cannot see the wood for the trees. We also talk Depression, Philosophy, Black Panther, Positive Thinking and the fact that Valjean is SWOLE. Feat some real outstanding theories, people. Oh, and Nemo did the mix today so apologies, again
