Then, they turn to discuss some of their favorite post-apocalypses to live (vicariously) in. Finally, they talk about a longing for justice, supporting your children, and the difference between cilia and a cat-bus in their discussion of The Stone Sky by N.K Jemisin.

Picking up from where The Fifth Season left off, Nate and Ryan discuss carnivorous insects, fraught mother-daughter relationships, and long distance murder in N. K. Jemisin’s The Obelisk Gate.

    This week, Nate and Ryan talk about their summer plans and how they gracefully fall face first into their school’s summer break. Ryan then talks about games and storytelling in the 2018 God of War. Afterwards they both talk about a few stories and media with good female lead characters. Finally after eating whole grain KitKats and drinking a fruit cream soda, they talk about the space between worlds, how to find out a son is a daughter and silly gender norms in the book Equal Rites by Sir Terry Pratchett.
