Everyone, who’s YOUR favourite Tim? If you said Tim Russ, then THIS is the show for you as Casual Trek goes ‘Tim Time’ with three episodes featuring Tim Russ (including two of his Star Trek bit parts before landing the role of Tuvok in Voyager!) The first episode is ‘Starship Mine’ where Patrick Stewart (RIP) gets to go Full-JL when a Die-Hard takes place on the Enterprise while everyone else in t...

On the show I’ve talked a lot about witchcraft in fiction over the years. But as I’m also an author of urban fantasy novels, I thought it might be interesting to talk about it from the creative end — how I think about writing witchcraft in fiction as a witch in real life. And since I thought it would be weird to just talk about it on my own, I’ve decided to make it double -...

In the second part of our tour of geoglyphs, Em and Dr Jesse examine the Nazca lines in Peru. One of the best known large-scale features of the Americas, they are also one of the most mysterious, at least in the popular imagination. Join us as we discuss who built them, and some theories about why. [ Full Show Notes ] Apple Podcasts Spotify Android RSS The post 103. Was it Aliens? No. first appear...

It’s time to re-enter the Mirror Universe and see what campy nonsense they’ve been getting up to! In a Mirror Darkly shows you how a betrayal-based society managed to keep going for as long as they did… by having several mutinies and finding an alternate future spaceship to loot!

Are you ready to rock? Well we are and so is Star Trek, with three episodes that feature guest acting turns from musicians.

Well, this was going to be an incredibly timely episode, and then a lot of life happened. You might recall that some time back, JD Vance made some remarks misinterpreting St. Augustine’s doctrine of “just war.” As medievalists, we took exception to those remarks…but also, let’s take a little time to look at Augustine, who was an interesting historical figure who just wanted to write a lot and hang...

So we covered some of this back in the “Respect” episode, but I really just wanted to take some time and explore how we talk to each other in witchcraft spaces.

Bree NicGarran joins me this episode as we finally get around to talking about the 1998 film adaptation of Practical Magic.
