TDT #256 - Season One is Nothing to Lose Your Head Over

Fri, 21 May 2021 04:14:56 -0000

This week, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the show coming on the air, Patsy and Ashes are discussing the first season of Game of Thrones! They do their best to cover all of the characters, but there are so many, and so many storylines that revolve around them that they can't get to everyone. From the Starks to the Lannisters to the Baratheons to the Mormonts, they give you a good range of characters and how this season set the tone for everything that would follow and taught us a valuable lesson about having characters that we liked - don't. Ashes also regales us with a tale of a new wine, there's a new battle, and more on this week's episode!

TDT #255 - The Legacy of Purple Mitchie Stardust: A Tribute to Riku.

Thu, 13 May 2021 04:00:24 -0000

In a very emotional episode, Patsy and Ashes talk about one of their dearest friends and longtime supporters, Riku, who passed away last week at the age of 31. Riku was one of the first people to support the podcast, and had become a very close friend not only to Patsy and Ashes, but to many across the podcasting community. Riku was more than a listener, more than a friend, he was part of the family and will be deeply missed by many people. Patsy and Ashes barely hold themselves together as they explain this week's show, which is a replay of episode 40, the only show on which Riku was a guest. This was done because he deserves to be remembered as the fun-loving, supportive, amazing human that he was, and this is the best way we thought of to honor him. Rest in Peace, Riku. We love you, and we miss you.
