| 4/12/26 |  Doo Doo Du-Doo, Max Verstappen | Episode Notes His coming has been foreshadowed for some time. This week, we talk about F1, doing our best to wrangle Nick away from talking about the car side of it to focus on the surprisingly popular shipping of the drivers. Join us, as we look at some of the best F1 fics and answer hard hitting questions like: Just how DO you become an alpha? Why does everyone want men to cry? What exactly does bricked up mean?

| 3/29/26 |  Shows that vanished: Game of Thrones | Episode Notes Grace has a need, a need for more of the himbo Dunk from Knights of the Seven Kingdoms. Join us as we look into one of many fandoms that seemed to blink out of existence after its finale aired, and ponder hard hitting questions like; Are One Direction still buying people? Do we need to split the Crack tag into Dark Crack and Light Crack? Can we work Big Ladies into this somehow? Enjoying the show? Got a fic you'd like us to read?

| 3/15/26 |  What started as a Zootopia episode but eventually branched out into multiple furry films | Episode Notes Grace and James saw Zootopia at the end of last year and have been meaning to discuss it ever since, join us as we barely do that, and instead tangent to other furry adjacent topics; including the objectively better film The Bad Guys 2, Reg the fox mascot of a local railway station, and what we think Keir Starmer's fursona would be. Ao3 went down half way through our recording session, watch us work out what else to do! Enjoying the show? Got a fic you'd like us to read? Hate the show and you want to tell us anyway?

What are we going to call the other guy? Will Nick forgive James for re-doing the monologue that he usually gets to do? Enjoying the show? Got a fic you'd like us to read?

| 10/26/25 |  Its Wednesday My Dudes | Episode Notes This week, we return to check in on the Wednesday fandom. We had a good time with the first season but time has passed and only 3 characters really stuck with us. Join us as Grace explains the second season and its new British men, Nick remains disappointed as an original Addams fan, and James disregards the whole thing in favour of searching for more 'grumpy one in love with the sunshine one' content. Join us as we answer hard hitting questions like: Can the British Claim Timothee Chalamet as our own? What was the same of any of the love interests that aren't Enid? Whats better than one big lady?

| 9/14/25 |  Les prévisions maritimes parlent du yaoi de l'Expédition 33 | Episode Notes This week, James talks at Grace and Nick about Expedition 33, which has been rapidly re-writing his brain chemistry and he desperately needs an outlet to talk about it.

| 8/3/25 |  Witness the Extent of Our K-Pop Knowledge | This week, the Forecasters take their very limited knowledge of K-pop and try and find more content for K-Pop Demon Hunters.

| 7/20/25 |  Objects in the fics are sexier than they appear | This week, the crew get together to talk about inanimate objects, and fics involving them.

| 7/6/25 |  Fix it Fics, and Greggs AU | This week, Grace and James set out to undoom their yaoi. Today we're looking for couples that were doomed by their media but the fandom chose to ignore that.

| 6/8/25 |  More Muppet Intercourse than Expected (Pride Special?) | This week, we really tried to record a Pride special talking about ships that had been either queer baited or were heavily queer coded but not canon. However, we got side-tracked pretty hard. In hindsight, it was a mistake to open with Bert and Ernie because that really sent us off on some wild tangents. Enjoying the show?
