What’s the place of shock value in the X-books (ft @beeohbee & @thejoshingtonbear) 09.10.2023 14:39

We're back to the dips and stunts and the going in the graves. We chat about the connection between an X-gene and being GAGGED, relentlessly.

Are we ready for where the Genesis War is taking us (ft.@ororoswind) 21.09.2023 17:08

Yan is back. You're gonna want to be to.

Why don’t some mutants have codenames (ft @MichaelJFuxx) 18.09.2023 15:45

Everything this pod is good at happens in here. Do not miss.

OOX: What do we think of the Black Panther Run? (ft @ororoswind) 16.09.2023 27:01

You lot know we talk about WAY more than just X-men behind the scenes, so here's something new for the something new! Every 10th episode, I'll bring in a guest to talk about a new book! And it's refreshing!

What’s your X-Blerd origin story? (ft @authorWinifred) 13.09.2023 16:08

Launching a brand new series where I chat with all the kin about what drew us to mutants. This one feels criminally short, but is deeply charming and is exactly what XOW needed, a little bit more of a focus on what the comics mean to us.

Can a Black character be considered as such without a Black writer? (ft @GL2814_3) 26.08.2023 22:36

He told me he was gonna get leeway and he wasn't joking 🥸

Which Doppleganger mutant gets to keep their names? 23.08.2023 10:37

All the doubles vote on the doubles. Chaos descends. People died.

Where does Charles go from here? (ft @_beeohbee) 21.08.2023 16:40

Get into THIS hunny.

10-minute Takeover (ft @aslopurp) 14.08.2023 17:27

have you ever listened to the show and thought "y'know, Ash doesn't get insulted enough"... you're welcome.

What do we think of this year’s Hellfire Gala (ft @certifiedfool_) 12.08.2023 15:32

Welcome! Brand new eras need brand new guests, so welcome Darrius, and the return of sub 20min eps, as we do a sprint through the worst function of the year! It's cinema!

Why Immortal? Why now? What’s next? 09.08.2023 14:41

Welcome to a brand new podcast that takes the best of the old and merges it with what's new and what's next. Every story needs a jumping-on point, right? This is the first time I've sat down solo and talked to you frankly about the reasons things had to evolve and tease the new direction and things to look forward to as I race out the gates!

Let’s be real, what’s making a podcast like? (ft @connorgoldsmith of @cerebrocast) 02.08.2023 1:38:55

THIS IS IT. Thank you for rocking with me for 3 years and 8 seasons of this era! This making this pod has taught me so much about myself and creativity and community, that this is the perfect way to let go of this version, and step into what's next. Connor and I chat it up a little bit, but give it about twenty mins and something clicks. We lean in. Hit play for a discussion about ambitions, real...

Which super-teams would you kill first and why? (ft. @joshington_bear) 29.07.2023 23:53

SO originally these were meant to just be a "during the event" thing, but being evil is actually quite fun, turns out. so here's how we'd kill the superhero community. If you really love Alpha Flight maybe give this one a skip 😅

Has the ’caring about black voices’ era ended?(ft. @hoemo_superior) 26.07.2023 27:19

Title's pretty clear. It's timely! It's good. Get in here friend.

Ask XOW Anything (ft @JayJurden) 22.07.2023 16:34

All your questions answered. Maybe not how you expected.

Who’s the biggest mutant nepo baby (ft @blckbolex) 20.07.2023 24:20

This is NOT one to miss, one of the biggest laughs I've had this season. Grab your headphones and sit in on this peak XOW rollercoaster.

Can a mutant ethically date a mutant? (ft @christoperXCI_) 15.07.2023 12:57

This one really benefitted from me editing out most of the Marley interruptions, but it's a good ass question and the perfect guest!

Why should Krakoa fall? (ft @shemaybeawitch) 10.07.2023 28:25

Chile my entire XOW library has disappeared. I'll be back to throw an outro on this once I fix all. the file inability issues, but I left in the important bits

What should a revived x-factor be doing? (ft@GL2814_3, @unimpressedfave, @ohjeaux. 03.07.2023 16:05

It's Trae! It's time

How do we get rid of Moira (ft @joshington_bear) 26.06.2023 17:30

She's been stinking up the womb, the room and even her tomb with that back-to-back attitude. Ratings terrible yet the series stays being renewed. I'm over it. We talk about how we get her through the window AND the mf wall.
