Things are changing fast in Night Vale. Dr. Lubelle and the University of What It Is took out The Weather last week (shock!), and this week they’ve wiped out Invisible Corn (sacrilege!) The doctor’s now set her sights on the local shape-shifter (Josh, run!) and unfortunately Tamika Flynn’s proposed solution might be just as damaging...

Okay, here’s the Lore Olympus recap: Hades spends two episodes moping because Persephone is avoiding him. Done! That’ll wrap us up for the week, make sure to check out pixelatedgeek.com… KIDDING. There’s more to it than that. (But seriously, two whole episodes of moping.) In addition to all the sulking we meet Hades’ new assistant...

Let’s see, in previous episodes Dr. Lubelle from the University of What It Is has managed to “explain” (ie: murder) Sarah Sultan (Fist-Sized River-Rock), The Glow Cloud (all hail), and Station Management (has anyone checked on City Council to see if they’re okay?) In this week’s episode she’s added to the body count by taking... The post Binary System Podcast #360: WTNV #227 “A Word With Dr. Jones” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

On this week’s Lore Olympus recap, we had two episodes of Persephone in the dream realm that gave us more questions than answers: WHAT will Erebus take from Persephone? WHY isn’t she telling Hades what she saw? And WHEN will we see more of the whole Apollo situation come ooooooonn we just want to see...

It’s no fun being the new Station Management for Night Vale Radio, as Cecil’s finding out in this week’s episode. Apparently Station Management was relying on being an eldritch horror to avoid paying bills, and now the chickens have come home to roost. And by “chickens” we mean “creditors”, and by “roost” we mean “repossess... The post Binary System Podcast #358: WTNV #226 “Creditors” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

On our last Lore Olympus recap Elizabeth said she didn’t care if the Apollo story got put on the back burner, so long as we get to see Demeter hit rock bottom. So of course in the latest episode we didn’t see Demeter at all but we FINALLY saw someone call out Apollo on his...

Aaaa! Did you hear the news? No, not that Cecil is scheduled to renegotiate his contract with the Night Vale Radio. He’s hoping the process this year will involve more raises and less spectral kidnappings, but that’s not important. You guys, Station Management and City Council are still dating. And here I’d thought they’d broken... The post Binary System Podcast #356: WTNV #225 “Renegotiations” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Massive spoiler warnings as usual this week because we take a long lingering look at Hades and Persephone’s wedding night and…okay maybe not that long and lingering because Rachel decided against being too graphic (…darnit..) but while we didn’t get to see the actual sex there was a lot of implied nookie for sure. And... The post Binary System Podcast #355 – Lore Olympus #235 and #236 first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

The magic word for this week’s episode is “creepy”. I don’t know if you’ve seen any of those “Liminal Spaces” pictures, but all those abandoned malls and eerily empty high schools can be super unsettling. Cecil’s niece Janice really likes them, so in this week’s episode they’re going to watch a four hour video compilation....

Remember how we said Lore Olympus episode 232 was the moment we’ve been waiting for? Scratch that: episode 234 is what we were waiting for and it was SO WORTH THE WAIT. (No, it’s not Asspollo getting his just desserts. It’s better.) Massive great big spoiler warnings of course, because episode 234 is currently only...

There’s big news for Cecil to report in Night Vale this week. After extensive renovations, Big Rico’s is having their grand reopening as “Big Rico’s Pizza and Entertainment Zone”! They’ve got two ball pits (with and without snakes), lots of games, and an animatronic band, The Table Scraps. Hang on, we’re getting reports from the...

Since we’ve still got a few days till the return of Lore Olympus (and you better believe we’re going into withdrawal aaaaaaa) this week Kathryn finished up season 2 of Umbrella Academy and boy howdy do we have some things to discuss. This is less of a recap than a deep dive into everything we... The post Binary System Podcast #351: Umbrella Academy Season 2 finale and Oscar opinions first appeared on Pixelated Geek.

Woo hoo, episode 350! We have absolutely no plans for this milestone, and when you get right down to it there’s really not much special about the number except that it ends in “0”. But still, woo! What IS special about this episode is that it’s our first foray into using Discord for the podcast....

Bonus episode! This is the second of our two-part crossover with the Mid-Life Crisis Task Force podcast. (You can find the first part on the MLC Podcast website or wherever fine podcasts are sold.)

“I just wrote ‘Toilets. What’s that all about?'” If you’ve been listening Welcome to Night Vale lately you’ll know why this episode title made us go “that sounds like it’ll be OH NO WAIT AAAAAA!” And if you don’t know, you can listen to us explain why we’re emotionally invested in a FREAKING CLOUD.

Episodes 229 and 230 of Lore Olympus are available this week (if you Fast-Pass episode 230) and WE ARE SO ANGRY. I mean, yes, episode 229 was kind of sweet and surprisingly instructional as Persephone gets much-needed information about fertility goddesses from Metis, who’s about as down-to-earth and helpful a Fertility Goddess as you’d want...

Last week Kathryn said she was going to watch Glass Onion this week and finally start the second season of Umbrella Academy. And wonder of all wonders, she did! It’s unheard of! It’s amazing!

We’re back home after all of our holiday and birthday travels, and on the latest episodes of Lore Olympus we…do NOT get the long-awaited reveal of what Apollo is up to and how his sister Artemis is handling it.

It’s a Binary System Birthday Edition as we’re joined by sister and frequent guest Hannah in the wilds of Kentucky!
