There’s big news for Cecil to report in Night Vale this week. After extensive renovations, Big Rico’s is having their grand reopening as “Big Rico’s Pizza and Entertainment Zone”! They’ve got two ball pits (with and without snakes), lots of games, and an animatronic band, The Table Scraps. Hang on, we’re getting reports from the...

Since we’ve still got a few days till the return of Lore Olympus (and you better believe we’re going into withdrawal aaaaaaa) this week Kathryn finished up season 2 of Umbrella Academy and boy howdy do we have some things to discuss.

Woo hoo, episode 350! We have absolutely no plans for this milestone, and when you get right down to it there’s really not much special about the number except that it ends in “0”. But still, woo! What IS special about this episode is that it’s our first foray into using Discord for the podcast....

Bonus episode! This is the second of our two-part crossover with the Mid-Life Crisis Task Force podcast. (You can find the first part on the MLC Podcast website or wherever fine podcasts are sold.)

“I just wrote ‘Toilets. What’s that all about?'” If you’ve been listening Welcome to Night Vale lately you’ll know why this episode title made us go “that sounds like it’ll be OH NO WAIT AAAAAA!” And if you don’t know, you can listen to us explain why we’re emotionally invested in a FREAKING CLOUD. After... The post Binary System Podcast #348: WTNV #221 “The Glow Cloud, Explained” and Umbrella Academy first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Episodes 229 and 230 of Lore Olympus are available this week (if you Fast-Pass episode 230) and WE ARE SO ANGRY. I mean, yes, episode 229 was kind of sweet and surprisingly instructional as Persephone gets much-needed information about fertility goddesses from Metis, who’s about as down-to-earth and helpful a Fertility Goddess as you’d want...

Last week Kathryn said she was going to watch Glass Onion this week and finally start the second season of Umbrella Academy. And wonder of all wonders, she did! It’s unheard of! It’s amazing! It’s unbelievable!! (It’s laying it on a bit thick is what it is. – Kathryn) (Hee. – Elizabeth) (AIRHORN NOISE) Massive...

We’re back home after all of our holiday and birthday travels, and on the latest episodes of Lore Olympus we…do NOT get the long-awaited reveal of what Apollo is up to and how his sister Artemis is handling it. But we do get a little bit of the origin story for Psyche. As a treat.... The post Binary System Podcast #345 – Lore Olympus #227 and #228 first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

It’s a Binary System Birthday Edition as we’re joined by sister and frequent guest Hannah in the wilds of Kentucky! (“Wilds” meaning “a very nice Vrbo with wiFi and a fireplace.” Except we only get Netflix in the upstairs bedroom. Like SAVAGES.) Listen in as we discuss our first trip back to Mammoth Cave in...

Happy New Year from the BSP team! We hope you all had a fantastic celebration (or a safe and relatively chill evening at home if that’s your jam.) It’s a quick Travel-Edition recording this week (we may not have been at home when we recorded this, but we’re definitely back home now, or if we’re...

Happy Holidays from the Binary System Podcast team! This year one of our Christmas presents is some very welcome Lore Olympus backstory on Aphrodite (Ares is his own worst enemy, and for Aphrodite’s sake we hope the breakup takes).

We did something different with the Night Vale recap this week, because it’s really two stories in one: first we’ve got to talk about how much we haaaaaate Dr. Janet Lubelle and her stupid smug face, and she better not lay a finger on Carlos because we WILL riot. Then go over the weird tarot... The post Binary System Podcast #341: WTNV #219 “The Traveling Tarot Reader” and “My Dad Wrote A Porno” finale first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Okay we’re gonna rocket through the recap of episodes 221 and 222 of Lore Olympus in record time, just over ten minutes, because there’s STILL NOTHING HAPPENING. I kid, I kid. EXCEPT NOT REALLY. We love this webcomic to bits, the artwork is top notch, and the relationship between Hades and Persephone is the most...

This week’s Night Vale recap has a lot of fan art requests and T-shirt moments, but it’s also us just being flat out amazed that Cecil can get interrupted by his kid every five minutes and it’s always stress free. It’s not saccharine, it’s not annoying, it’s not even a little frustrating; Cecil Baldwin just...

Happy Thanksgiving! (Or, if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, Happy Thursday!) Somehow after last week’s recording we got on the subject of cookbooks, specifically the “Little House on the Prairie” cookbook that we checked out from the library a dozen times before we got smart and bought our own copies. And that led to a discussion... The post Binary System Podcast #338 – Thanksgiving Food Special and Lore Olympus first appeared on Pixelated Geek.
