627: Should Anna Pigeon Take A Hike?

In Anna Pigeon, the USA Network’s new Canadian import, the titular character is a cop whose beat is Glacier National Park. Did it make us want to abandon our TVs for the great outdoors? Famed National Parks Omar Gallaga returns to talk about it. Around The Dial takes us through The Last House, S02 of X-Men ’97, and Game Day Murders. Omar presents the Primal episode “Plague Of Madness” for induction into the Canon. Then, after we name the week’s Winner and Loser, we get out our credit cards for a Game Time that dares us to shop (TV) ’til we drop. Put on your sunscreen and bug spray and listen!GUESTS👤 Omar GallagaTOPICSLead Topic: 🐦 Anna Pigeon Around The Dial: 🏘️ The Last House Around The Dial: 🎆 X-Men '97 Around The Dial: 🏟️ Game Day Murders The Canon: 🦕 Primal S01.E07: Plague Of MadnessWinner & Loser: 🕳️ Stars of The PittWinner & Loser: 🦶 Ego NwodimGame Time: 💸 Shop The ShowNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our site🦋 Omar on Bluesky🫥 The Cold Vanish by John Billman on Bookshop🧗‍♂️ “No Return” (about “alpine divorce”) at The New Yorker💄 The Listen To Sassy Club🦸🏻‍♂️ “A Wunderkind Showrunner Was Put In Charge Of Marvel’s X-Men ’97.
