George does a Pokémon. Luke does a skittish. Justin does a gay signal. Sam does a pockets. Grace does a nothing. Some Guy wins it all! We also talk about Ellen (re?)discovering tabletop roleplaying

Ep. 26 – Grace' Trauma (w/ fractal)

Jun 16 2022 67 mins  
El Goonish Shive is intrinsically hopeful, and that makes its representation of trauma and healing particularly compelling. Grace was a well-written victim of abuse right from the very start, and watching her grow and develop as the webcomic evolved has been extremely meaningful for us. Listen to fractal and I talk in-detail about Grace' trauma and the way she is recovering from it

Ep. 25 – Catnipping (w/ Fox)

May 01 2022 36 mins  
"Catnip" is one of my favorite little El Goonish Shive arcs. Released all the way back in 2002, it sets up the relationship between Grace and Tedd in the only way it could: with gratuitous furry transformation sequences! Fox and I decided to discuss this little storyline in depth, and the results are a lot of fun. Of course, we also talk about recent updates as Elliot almost killed

Ep. 24 – Death Sentence part 2 (w/ Penny)

Mar 27 2022 51 mins

Ep. 22 – Star Trek–Friends Crossover (w/ Trekie140)

Jan 31 2022 82 mins  
Two Star Trek-obsessed peeps get an opportunity to ramble about our favorite sci-fi franchise for an hour and a half. It took us 22 minutes before we even mentioned El Goonish Shive. Do prepare for a lot of gushing about random Voyager episodes, but we do actually get to talk about how El Goonish Shive's story structure and character arcs were inspired by Star Trek. As well as Frie

Ep. 21 – Nanase's Triple Threat Holiday Special (w/ Viatrix & trekie140)

Dec 29 2021 79 mins  
For the first time ever, trekie140, Viatrix, and Maplestrip team up to do the impossible: try to to say everything there is to say about Nanase! Romance! Faith! Linguistics! Bad parenting! this episode truly has everything! Join us for this beautifully chaotic Christmas special! Exclamation!

Ep. 20 – Uryuom Dimension: The Final Frontier (w/ Princes of foxes)

Nov 28 2021 67 mins  
Foxes and I talk about our experiences with Star Trek (mainly The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager), and contrast and compare it with El Goonish Shive. We also got the chance to talk about half a year worth of updates!  And somehow we also end up talking about the Chikasaw Nation and about how the Spanish burned all Aztec and Maya books.
