@bastardspod @IwriteOK @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why I came away from this episode feeling like we've missed out on a whole genre of vampire fiction where they feed by dipping things in blood. Elegant predators of the night, cheeks full of squishy bread.

@bastardspod @IwriteOK @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why ‘Hacked like cabbage’ might be the most metal thing I’ve heard on a podcast in a LONG bloody time

@bastardspod @IwriteOK @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why I find it so cowardly of czm to avoid Palestine in these last few weeks. The coverage has been weak, and the political analysis that finally came out was an awesome lady who spoke about centering Palestinian voices while you all failed to use your podcasts to do exactly that.

@bastardspod @IwriteOK @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why fwiw: Lord Byron wasn’t Mary Shelley’s husband Lord Byron was Mary Shelley’s *boyfriend* Lord Byron was *also* Mary Shelley’s husband’s boyfriend, and one weekend they were so busy banging each other, Mary Shelley invented Science Fiction to pass the time

@bastardspod @IwriteOK @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why Hey Sophie. Hey Vlad. Hey Alucard.

@bastardspod @IwriteOK @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why I have complaints about the end of the episode

@bastardspod @IwriteOK @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why My only question after listening to the pod was, did Vlad impale people long way or short way?

@bastardspod @IwriteOK @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why Never been so disillusioned as finding out that @IwriteOK isn't a slingshot historian (re: hunting eagles with slingshots)! Very off-brand, I expect this to be rectified immediately

@IwriteOK @bastardspod @jack_obrien @why_sophie_why Wait a minute…you telling me ‘ol Vlad here was a bastard?!
