Gobbledygeek episode 172, “S: Part 3 – The Ship Remains the Same (feat. Kenn Edwards),” is available for listening or download right here, and on iTunes here.

The penultimate installment of the Gobbledy-Book Club is here, as Kenn Edwards of So Let’s Get to the Point and Project Batman joins Paul and AJ to discuss chapters 7-8 of J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst’s S. The book–both books!–is heading toward its conclusion, so of course, things only get more complicated. S. becomes the assassin he was destined to be, Jen and Eric draw closer and closer, and major headway is made in the pair’s investigation. Oh, and there’s a napkin. We talk a lot about the napkin. Plus, the gang talks about Funko’s incredibly expansive 2014 toy line.

Next: discussion of S. draws to a close with an all-star jam band reunion of our co-readers.

Listen to Episode 106, “The Olympics of Gay Chicken, Superheroes, and Furbys”

Gobbledygeek episode 106, “The Olympics of Gay Chicken, Superheroes, and Furbys,” is available for listening or download right here.

The dog days of summer have arrived, and with them even less of a sense of purpose and direction than our hosts usually display. So they babble on about a variety of topics: Chick-fil-A’s rampant homophobia (which accounts for the annual violation of their “No Politics” rule!), Olympics spoilerphobia, the forthcoming Marvel NOW! relaunch, and the return of the Furby, among other things.

Next: again, who knows, Paul and AJ’s brains are fried.
