Binary System Podcast #394 – Lore Olympus episode 259 and 260 and The Menu

It’s an extra-long episode this week, although not because of Lore Olympus.

Binary System Podcast #393 – WTNV #240 “He Is Holding a Knife” and Doctor Who

“Fenslaw.Coliss.Brate.Gilvane.Stond.” The latest episode of Night Vale before they went on hiatus (they’re always on hiatus in January and we will never remember that) was delightfully creepy in a way we didn’t see coming at all, what a fantastic surprise. We can’t say more, because spoilers. (This episode of VagueCast is brought to you by
