Episode 31 – How Dare You Defy God’s Rain! (Publishing Sci-fi and Fantasy ft. Jarod K. Anderson)

Leave a comment

What even is literature? We just don’t know. It’s probably made up. Author and podcaster Jarod K. Anderson visits the show to tell us about publishing your work, the nature of literature, and writing for yourself.

Clio thinks the University of Michigan is a scam. Jarod thinks Literature just steals what it likes. Science can publish that anywhere. Rissa can be mean…Once.

Listen, podcasting is not an exact science, and this is not exactly Science’s episode. Editing is good, fam, just remember that.

Rissa hates moist innards. Science promises no death this time. Clio nearly poisons herself with tea.

Episode 28 – Why Is It Always Mustafa? (History of Turkey VII)

You know that old Johnny Cash standard? It goes like, “Times’re rough for a King named Sue/ When you die on crusade and there’s nothin’ to do/ When your kid’s a nerd and your empire falls and–” No? Is that just me? That’s just me.

Science is proud to be an American. Clio thought you said puppies. Rissa doesn’t know…how to color. She just can’t do it.

Episode 27 – The IKEA of Insects (Bees and Beekeeping ft. Adam Brandt)

1 Comment

Adam Brandt wants to change the way you think about bees. Sure, they’re insects, but they’re also mathematicians, bureaucrats, clones, fans of Game of Thrones, and fiercely loyal to their moms. Unless their moms aren’t fulfilling their roles as Queens, of course. Fair’s fair.

Rissa watches Magic School Bus. Clio brings on the folklore. Science is your mom now. Adam’s bees are…strong!

Today The Liberal Aren’ts tackles all the controversies. What’s the best cereal? With milk or without? Cheese on grits?? Has Rissa really never eaten oatmeal in her life???

Rissa talks manners for vikings, straight from Odin’s mouth. Science is not mispronouncing granola. Clio has a noise complaint.
