EP5 - Impromptu Afternoon Discussion (ft. Davis Lawrence & Christian Madera)

The Arthurian Canon is sacred to some people—so you know we’ve got a lot of jokes about it. We dive into the nitty gritty with special guest Christian Madera as we talk about why self-insert fanfiction is questionable, even in the Middle Ages; how OT3s can solve all problems; how freaky historians can get; and why “whiskey” is a word that transcends language. You can find Christian online at Once and Future Nerd, and on Twitter and Tumblr! The fabulous Professor E.R. Udite is on tumblr for your enjoyment, and you can learn more about Marion Zimmer Bradley here. To learn more about resources available to survivors of sexual assault, head over to Rainn.org We’re sponsored this week by Audible. Get your free audiobook at audible.com/spirits, and let us know if you listen to  Vacationland or  From A Certain Point of View! If you like Spirits, help us grow by spreading the word! Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,  YouTube, &amp;  Goodreads, and review us on  Apple Podcasts to help new listeners find the show.

Episode 56: King Arthur (with Christian Madera)

Go big or go home, boys. So we went with one of the biggest albums, both sonically and in legacy, that has ever existed. Writer and director of The Once and Future Nerd (onceandfuturenerd.com) Christian Madera skypes in to help Bill and Brian tell you what makes Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run (1975, Columbia) so great. But seriously, do we really need to tell you? Just listen to that darn thing! A masterpiece. Unfortuantely, our recording didn't come out quite as flawless. There was a skype call drop that we couldn't quite cleanly edit out, so please forgive our minor production snafu. Now let's go murder some lions!
