“I lived in San Francisco for 14 years and I'm now on the East Coast. It's great to hear that. The vibes and thoughts are alive and well in the bay area! This podcast is so good. It's actually got me in the mood to start riding again. Great show… keep it correct! 🥳”Read full review »

“Annalee and Charlie are plugged in and well connected—their execution is excellent. The content they work with is fairly diverse, and they approach things from a well-informed vantage point. This podcast is one of several inspiring me to develop my own. Thank you both for an excellent...”Read full review »

“This podcast is giving me life every day. Just started listening (hosts were guests on another podcast) and started from the beginning. The hosts touch every kind of media I’m into and that I like. If I personally knew them we’d be best friends. I learn something amazing in every episode and am...”Read full review »

“This is a great show. I loved the episodes on Anne Rice, GoT, HP and the corruption of JKR, and story endings. The dynamic between the hosts is solid and compelling.
The slap talk about how BSG ending and how disappointing it was is chef’s KISS. Thank you.”

“I only just discovered this podcast show a few weeks ago and have been binge listening the first ~ 90 episodes already.
Charlie Jane and Annalee are the trans and queer adults I wish I had to look up to IRL. I love their fun, norm critical and deeply nerdy discussions about all sorts futuristic...”Read full review »

One of my favorite episodes is where they spoke with Fonda Lee about how fight scenes should be used to change a character...”Read full review »

The hosts are thoughtful and widely read, and they have a genuine love for the topic that...”Read full review »

“After 15 episodes, I’m quite tired of the interruptions and clumsy takes on trans issues from the cis host. Also, this show handles spoilers just terribly.
Anyway, Charlie is great and the show is generally smart but it’s not quite good enough as a whole for me to keep listening.”

“I don’t know about you, but I’ve always dreamed of being a hangers-on at the Algonquin Round Table or the Bloomsbury Group or one of the early Sci Fi cons.
