The Tower of Nero, ch. 11 to 15

This week on Unwise Girls, huh. Is that right? Cows? Weird... This one's mostly a lot of cows, I guess. And poop. But we don't really talk about cow poop at all, which is, frankly, a surprise. We also talk about prophecies and other stuff but to clarify, really, this is mostly a poop one.

The Tower of Nero, ch. 6 to 10

This week on Unwise Girls, we continue to tube down the river of good fortune as The Trials of Apollo continues to find its footing right at the end. We discuss Dionysus's antics (as well as the surprising pathos mined from his familiar relationship with Apollo), Smite That City, the return of the Gray Sisters, meme manufacturing, Just Two Guys, eyeball play, effective fake-outs, and perhaps ...

The Tower of Nero, ch. 1 to 5

She's back, she's back, and most importantly, HE'S back!!! That's right, folks, the Rick Riordan content you've been gagging for is BACK and better than ever. So get right up close and cozy this week as we discuss the beginning of The Tower of Nero, how Rick is using this book's plot as a course-correction to the rest of the series, sexual self-inserts, Apollo's character growth (less racist),...

The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories About Mythic Heroes

This week on Unwise Girls, we are... back to Rick Riordan? Wait, isn't it a week early? Ah, wait, no, I see - it's Rick Riordan Presents! We decided to try out a little sampler platter of what the Riordan-led book imprint featuring various authors telling stories of the mythologies of their own culture has to offer, and we found out that it's a lot.....

Professional Wrestling

One! Two! ... One! Two! ... One! ... One! Two! Three!!! Wahoo, yippee, Unwise Girls got the pin! And now that we've won podcasting gold, we're ready to talk about a little bit of professional wrestling. In this sort of rambly and off-kilter episode of Unwise Girls, we discuss our experiences going to indie wrestling shows, as well as talking about the recent Grand Slam Mexico event produced by All El...

Misericorde: Volume One

Lord, forgive us, for we are podcasters. This week, Jane and Jacqueline don their tunics, veils, wimples, scapulars and habits in order to properly talk about the first chapter of Xeecee's instant-classic visual novel Misericorde. We try and cover at least some of the breadth of what this massively impressive game gives us in its first part, and in doing we discuss historical bishops, ahistorical ca...

Nightwing (2016) #78-118 + a few others

Wham! Bam! Kapow! This week on Unwise Girls, we've donned our masks, capes, and skintight bodysuits in order to discuss Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo et al.'s acclaimed run on Nightwing. What does a boy with the most perfect and pure heart on all of Prime Earth do when all of the money in the world lands in his hands? We'll have to see! Listen to us discuss our preferred configuration...

A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine

Another journey of unwise girls Planned, sketched, set out into the forest Of platformed pines that drop pods as spring continues. What, then? What path do we clear for empire? How lives interpretation in the legacy of footfall? And for how long will the winter ice's final vestige remain? Eventually, it ceases to matter - Our audio quality too will shatter.

Come back next week for...

Us! Jane and Jacqueline!

It feels just like yesterday that we were talking about a Rick Riordan book and celebrating our 100th episode. Now, we're not talking about a Rick Riordan book and not celebrating our 100th episode! Things change so quickly! This week, we decided to bravely not discuss an interesting media property and instead share a little - and I do mean a little - about ourselves. Ever curious what inspired us ...

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990 film)

This week on Unwise Girls, we begin our Spring Tolerance Break with a story that's completely different than anything we've done before! This time, we check out a hit work by an author who's taking mythical stories of the past and reinterpreting them through a more modern lens in order to speak to the questions of the day and - ah, fuck, we fucked it up immediately didn't...

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 38 to 43

This week on Unwise Girls, we say welcome back to one good heckin' praetorino ... and say goodbye to The Tyrant's Tomb! There's no getting past it: this book was a bit rough for us. But how did we really come out the other end feeling? Well, listen to the episode and find out - plus, listen to the end for a very important announcement about the (very near) future of the show!

Come back next ...

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 32 to 37

This week on Unwise Girls, we say goodbye to a beloved character and give their death all of its due seriousness. One good heckin praetorino, am I right? We also discuss inappropriate chapter titles, debate over Lavinia, grumble about the mist, roll our ankles and snip our fingers, despise the MCU, compliment fight scenes, tread into that cloaca, and consider alternatives.

Come back next we...

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 26 to 31

This week on Unwise Girls, we ask the question: how can you go from A to Z when you're already starting at X? That's right, folks, it's yet another week where we're starting to question the basic execution of this series' premise! But we also talk about funny adult babies, the best things to do on your phone, our weirdly high amount of remaining feelings about the Kane siblings, oestradiol j...

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 20 to 25

This week on Unwise Girls, we're touching plenty of grass and breathing in the seeds of our discontent and whatever else Shakespeare said. We discuss a delicious amount of Riordan Content:tm:, including our conflicting opinions on where Lavinia is headed as a character, Reyna doing the world's most obvious pining, an itemized list of ways that Camp Jupiter could make for an interesting setti...

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 14 to 19

This week on Angry Girls, we get real grumpy and pissed off. We talk all about STUFF WE NOTICED that we think SUCKS!!! Like, you ever think about how a lot of these books in the same children's franchise have a lot of similarities? Or how a lot of these characters are kinda surface level?? And there's not like, blood and guts and stuff all the time??? Ugh!!!!!!!! Whatever... >8\

Come back...

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 8 to 13

This week on Unwise Girls... eh? Who are you? Sorry, but I don't remember petty things like names or faces... it's all about vibes for me. This week, the vibe is pretty frickin' positive on the book - partially because we've been reading even better books at the same time. We discuss cyclops flesh, lesbian stereotypes, shitty kids who you just gotta love, predatory god maneuvers, LARPing, and...

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 1 to 7

Crack open a cold one, girlies, it's time for the penultimate book in Apollo's The Trials of! This week we're starting off our discussion of the novel with one long, continuous corpse party, several pushbacks on pushbacks, some reevaluating of Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang, the world's most disastrous romance to look forward to, Titus Andronicus foreshadowing, Meg's trauma (this time a differ...

The Burning Maze, ch. 42 to 47

This week on Unwise Girls, The Burning Maze dies and we're finally allowed to grieve. We discuss what Rick is doing with mortality and how Jason's death - and the more we hope to come - are actually making it mean something, what this convoluted acrostic is telling us about future books, wildfires continuing to stretch the timeline, darksided Piper, science-fiction and takeout for some reason...
