jahnna and josh are back to give you a year-end wrap-up. sort of. we sort of ramble, as always, as the words escaping our mouths struggle to keep up with our brains. in episode 5, we find some things that didn’t suck about 2021, as well as desires for 2022 (but not goals, because we don’t do new year’s resolutions). and this episode has been optimized for podcast listening, in terms of loudness, according to Apple. sorry if the previous episodes have been too loud.

as ever, our theme music is Bark-a-Tron 5000 by Bad Ronald.

some media referenced in this episode:

• Subnautica
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons

in episode 4 our protagonists talk smack on a rather obscure text called The Return of the King, and also The Hobbit. and except for josh struggling to form cohesive sentences, you’ll also hear about:

• The Heroine with 1001 Faces
• puppets discussing the monomyth
• The Norse myth that inspired “The Lord of the Rings”
• O Brother, Where Art Thou?
• The Hero with a Thousand Faces
• The Last Cuentista
• The Thirteenth Tale
• Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
• Go Set a Watchman
• The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

hey! this episode is somewhat belated. it’s the holiday season, and josh was out of town for a week in december, so things got weird. the editing may be a little slapdash, sorry and/or get over it. here’s some of the things we reference this week:

• Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension
