A variety podcast about anything and everything co-hosted by Melanie and Rachel. We’re only consistent in our inconsistency. Join us every second Friday as we look at things on the internet or in life that make us say what in the Charles Darwin is happening here? We’re just two Millennials who did what any Millennials do during a “panini”: start a podcast!
Happy 2026!
Join us as our guest Kan (Techpriest_Kan on twitch) walks us through a murder mystery DND one shot. Join our characters, Kya, the tiefling rogue who was born yesterday, and Lenore, the drow bard who doesn't have manners. Will they figure out the crime?

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
