Binary System Podcast #303: WTNV #202 “The Day After The Day” and Raised By Wolves

You can listen to this episode on our Binary System Podcast channel at Anchor.fm!

In addition to being a very poetic episode about how human beings process trauma and time, this week’s episode of Welcome To Night Vale is also topical. I mean really topical, touching on current events that everyone in the world is following right now.

And by that, I of course mean Wordle. If you’re looking for a hint, today’s answer has a silent “y” and no umlauts. You’re welcome.

Meanwhile Elizabeth has watched four Season Two episodes of Raised By Wolves, but Kathryn’s only watched one. So, you know, spoilers for just that one episode as we talk about the fact that Mother and Father don’t have pockets, and wonder who the heck scouted Kepler 22-b and decided that a planet with acid seas, gigantic holes to the core, and radioactive vegetables was somehow a good spot to revive the human race.

This week’s outro is a clip from Wave of the Synth by Uncan.

The We Were All Raised By Wolves podcast has some very insightful comments on season one. The intro to the episode 10 recap really seems to imply that the host, Peter, has passed away, but there’s recent activity on his reddit account? So we have no idea, but we hope for the best.

Correction: After review by an expert on history (ie: someone with more knowledge than us)(ie: Nathan), it turns out that there wasn’t a vaccine for the Spanish Flu, since at the time scientists were still looking for a bacterial cause instead of a virus. There WAS a vaccine for smallpox, and that’s what inspired some of the political cartoons about the dangers of anti-vax sentiment, like the one scanned from the 1930’s booklet Health In Pictures.
