Podcast Guys Talking ErraticErrata

Sulia isn't very good at this. And, based on our audio quality, neither are we. It's gonna be some months more of this, but we're striving for solution!

I'll be honest; it seems more and more like they don't stand a chance!

In which Catherine gets back to creation and everything is probably fine don't worry about it.

It happened.

In which are discussed both Calamities and their Counterparts.

PGTEE tackles an entire genre, so long as you define the genre by the medium!

Hm. So apparently my other podcast was posted in this space for about half a week. Mortifying.

Calamitas calamitatum et omnia calamitas

The story of a Very Has Value Person.

The audio on this one has been heavily worked, but our issues are back. With luck, this is gonna be much improved by the next one. Pray for us.

Join us as we don't discuss nominal determinism, carcinization, and the philosophical foundations of syncretic theologies.

What a nice episode description. Be a shame if someone yoi--!

Become ungovernable.

We haven't FIXED the audio issue, but we've arranged for real patching. Things should be much better now.

We've lost a lot to the audio gremlins, and the scars are still clear here. Thank you for bearing with us. We think we have at least a temporary fix for next week. HUGE thanks for your understanding.

We're having some big audio issues. If that's a dealbreaker, check back in TWO weeks and it might be better. Sorry fam

The episode opens in peace and closes with violence. Much like the year. See you in 2026!

Sorry about the rough recording. We had some real software failure. The episode is merely mangled, not dead, but we're hoping for better next time. Thanks for understanding bye

So, um, it seems like the Watch is actually a significant force. Do you think that's why no one really messes with the Duchy other than that time Grem messed with the Duchy? Ain't bad, is all I'm saying. Oh, also, Catherine has a sick duel this chapter and at one point there's a fun surprise that straight throat ruptures her, so that's fun.

This is such a well named chapter, at least at first, because they do be in tent. That's how armies tend to house themselves.

When you gotta protect your van, who ya gonna call?THE VANGUARD!

Injunction Junction, what's your function? Freeing all the slaves thanks to the priestess' unction!

I 'ardly know 'im!

In which the Fae fall like chaff and also reap like scythes. It's impressive and terrifying.

I actually have played M. Kart at this point. I was the cow and honestly the character delights me.

What's hotter? Summer, or a woman mad with power?

Ranker is a nasty little thing, but then we meet Kegan who is a nasty little thing. It's a good chapter.

Governing, it would seem based on this chapter, is the art of letting other people govern while you go meet yet other people where they are governing. Truly a delicate practice.

We have fun on this show, but for real: don't nail people to things. It's unkind.

Isn't a SKU like some kinda think when shopping? I'm gonna check it out, maybe we'll all learn something.I did research. It's a Stock Keeping Unit, so it's like a barcode. It's prolly relevant to this chapter because money has serial numbers and it's kinda about the treasury. Cool stuff!

"Thank the gods you're awake! It's been months!""Oh boy, I'm so excited to walk through Laure under a fractious combo of martial law and Praesi coup!"

It's only fair to assume that the title is a reference to John Darnielle's hit song "Sudden Oak Death" wherein the lyric When the crack sounds in the woods, you will know that I'm down for good. Because this is the chapter where Catherine's pair a' more is down for good. This is the kind of intertextuality you can only get on PGTEE.

I'll be real: it sounds very wrong to me to say "a shambles." It's "in shambles." This is another big L for the Brits, who are also wrong about The Magna Carta. "There's no 'the' in Latin!" Yeah, so? That's not how languages work. Do you not say "the" Kremlin? Grow up.

A short king, a shorter king, and the Bard's thing

Now goblins are cruel, wicked, and bad-hearted. They make no beautiful things, but they make many clever ones. They can tunnel and mine as well as any but the most skilled dwarves, when they take the trouble, though they are usually untidy and dirty.

Getchur amatuer scenia outta here!

BOW, FOOLISH MORTALS, BEFORE THE INEXORABLE MIGHT OF WINTER. ALL SHALL CRACK AS THE ICE ITSELF BEFORE THE BIG GUY WITH THE DEADWOOD CROWN. COWER. SHIVER. BE WEARY AND COOL. READ TO BUILD A FIRE BY JACK LONDON. I GUESS.

Is it horizontal or an organ? Give it a poke to see.

I 'ardly know 'er y!

This is one of those zany chapters with like a billion perspectives but all that matters is Mommy.

Ngl, this is mostly an answer to the question "Why isn't this chapter just called Catherine's Plan (Redux)?"

Swerving from one place to the next, the Princess wildly overestimates her cunning.

This chapter is an affront to the gods, so we implore you to cover your face while reading it and your ears while listening.

What do you get when you have a lie but plural? You guessed it: an episode of PGTEE! This one is especially special because it has discussions AND comments.

Imagine, if you will, the perfect woman. Her uncle is also there.

Look, ma'amAn invitation—Here, ma'amDelivered by handAnd, ma'am, I notice the stationery'sEngraved and very grand

I'm just saying, if he really wanted to beat them, why didn't Black simply ask Ranger really nicely?

Whump!

Disemboweling, disarming, and disquieting, this has all the hallmarks of a classic episode. Featuring special guest: not anyone actually!
