It’s another Travel Edition this week as we brave the wilds of Southeast North America (otherwise known as our parents’ place in Bradenton.) First up is a lightning quick recap of Night Vale as Cecil revisits a very strange kids show and correctly answers the daily puzzle. (It’s entropy. The answer is always entropy.) After

The first half of Lore Olympus episode 270 is light on dialog. Baby Dionysus starts the most adorable Hero’s Journey ever as he sets off to rescue Hades and Persephone.

On the latest episode of Welcome to Night Vale, Kevin the Younger is determined to kill Kevin the Older, so he’s used Carlos’ lab to open a portal to the Desert Otherworld.

There’s a great big ceremony that happens every year, you may have heard of it? The Oscars? Anyway, the Binary System Podcast didn’t watch it, but they do have lots of opinions about the winners. (And some of the ones that didn’t win. You guys, have you seen Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse?) And of course
