    Episode 1.13 Other People

    You did it! You made it to Episode 13! Your prize is... this episode? Congratulations! We're talking about The Good Place Season 1 Episode 13, "Michael's Gambit," and asking whether or not hell actually IS other people. The answer may surprise you. We're also bringing back all our favourite segments for this special season finale. Return guest James "Jim-Jams" Faulds wants you to rethink your relationship to social media, but Hannah just wants you to consume MORE media, and honestly, who are you going to listen to, someone named Jim-Jams or the person writing these episode summaries? That's what I thought.

    Episode 1.9 Casual Trauma Pals

    Warning: this episode is SPICY! We're talking about The Good Place Season 1 Episode 9, "... Someone Like Me as a Member," and we're blaming our parents for all of our problems. We are also cramming an astonishing number of segments into a single episode, so brace yourselves. Guest Cynara Geissler has a recommendation for dealing with stress, and Hannah has a seasonal eating habit to suggest. Is that eating habit spicy? No, the spice was metaphorical, and also inside you the whole time.

    We're past the halfway mark now, and you can really tell that we've figured out how to use our microphones (brag). We're talking about The Good Place Season 1 Episode 8, "Most Improved Player," all while debuting a new segment, probing the links between morality and comedy, and figuring out if there's such thing as good and bad people. Guest Zander Chila has a musician AND an attitude to recommend, and Hannah has some more homework cuz she's fun like that.

Delighted Sad Edified

Delighted to have found a rewatch pod for a show I found so chewy. Sad there isn't yet more episodes to help me recover from my good-because-heaven upbringing. But also objectively a better person for having encountered it. Thx Clairs and Hannah!

It’s perfect.

Are you kidding me? This is perhaps what all podcasting in the history of podcasting has been leading to. 11 out of 11 shrampies for such a smart-brained pod.
