Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode, this whole book, and the previous book, because I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! Let's all cross our fingers that we get another installment of the series soon, and that I'm commissioned to read it, because ohmigod I need it immediately. Thank you all so so much for listening, and I hope to see you very soon.
Thank you to Lauren for commissioning this episode! This is the one where Jane is asked to write the episode where her own father is killed off of HIS OWN SHOW. Literally what are they doing?! Are they going to change the whole name of Passions Of Santos? This is also a really fun one because we're getting an inadvertent live-react of me finding out something very important that I SOMEHOW MISSED THE FIRST TIME?????? Thank you so much to you all for listening, and thank you to Lauren for asking m...
Thank you so much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones in which our whole crew gets to celebrate winning the battle to get Robin back, and there's a bunch of other stuff going on as well! Of course, we've still got Garp, Luffy's grandpa, hanging around with Coby and Helmeppo, which is a funny thing because Coby is still in awe of Luffy but also lowkey declaring war against him? Idk tho I kind of like it. Thanks so much to all of you for listening, and I will se...
Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning and guesting on this episode! These episodes are the ones in which we find out just what Franky spent all the money he stole on, and it turns out that it's this legendary tree that is super strong, and he's going to use that to make a ship for the Strawhats! Also, SURPRISE! We meet Luffy's grandfather, and he's just as much of a weirdo as Luffy himself! Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...
Thank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode! This is the section of chapters in which Alex & Co. return to hell again, and she finally shares the thing that she feels is the most horrible and selfish thing she's ever done: adopting Babbit Rabbit. This is a rough one, guys. Prepare for some tears on my part. Thank you for listening!
Thank you very much to Lauren for commissioning this episode! This is the episode where Jane has to decide what career path she wants to pursue; is she talented enough to become a writer? Or is that just a pipe dream, and should she become a teacher instead? There's also a bunch of intrigue with Sin Rostro, and Xiomara is struggling a lot with her commitment to remain chaste after her mother's recovery. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...
Thank you so much to Bernadette for commissioning AND guesting on this episode! These are some major transitional episodes as the Strawhats escape Enies Lobby and almost make it back to Water Seven, only to have the Going Merry begin to seriously founder. This is when the crew has to say goodbye to their beloved ship and friend, and it's really emotional (even for someone like me who didn't love the Merry like some of you did). Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with an...
Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, I get caught up in talking about some really moving scenes with our characters but I lose track of time and wind up having to talk about chapter 10 next episode. Please forgive me! Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you in a few weeks with a new episode!
Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Darlington is...back? Kind of? I'm not sure whether this is a fully human Darlington or what is going on, but I'm glad he's back and I'm very frustrated that I didn't see what was going on sooner. Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you very much to Claire for commissioning this episode! This is the one where Alba is in the hospital and there's a hurricane on the way, and meanwhile Michael is exploring the weird secret tunnel under the hotel that leads to an illegal off-the-books plastic surgery suite. Jane is struggling a lot with her abuela being hurt and the stress of things with the storm and Michael being on Rafael's case, and Petra's hostage escapes. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a n...
Thank you to Lauren for commissioning this episode! There are so many wild things happening this episode that I don't even know where to start! We've got the revelation of what happened to Petra's mother, we get the revelation that Petra's mother can actually walk after all, we get a whole fucking secret trap door! I have no idea where this is all going, and I can't wait to see. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! I'm excited to start this new installment of the series, but I feel bad for our crew for having to deal with YET ANOTHER unprovoked attack. It happens so soon, can't our friends get a break? Have a little time? I just want them to have a nice few days of rest and tourism! Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode! These chapters are absolutely wild and I should have seen them coming but I didn't. There are demons that feed on hopelessness and despair following around our gang of murderers, wearing the faces of their victims...or in Alex's case, the face of someone she sees as one of her victims. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In these, we get a very satisfying takedown of a certain Pekyu who I thought was going to be a more ongoing threat. I absolutely cannot wait until we get to see what happens after the explosion because shit's going to be in absolute shambles. Meanwhile, we bid farewell to Takval, and I'm genuinely bummed about it. Thank you for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode! These chapters were totally gripping, and not just because these are the ones where The Gang Goes To Hell. Nope, these are also the chapters where we find out about who Tripp and Turner murdered, and I'm firmly on their sides in both cases. Their murders made the world a better place, and they did the right thing, but that's none of my business. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which our friends find out what the big plan was, but really the only person who seems to truly understand the significance of it all is Sabae. Bakori is now dead (MAYBE) after being eaten by her grandmother, which takes all goddamn day, and it turns out there's a whole other thing happening with Ithos that we now have to worry about. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...
Thank you very much to Joanna for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters where Alex has to fight back against a fucking vampire which seems super unfair tbh, and manages to get away but I think she's piqued his curiosity and hasn't seen the last of him. Meanwhile there's still this whole Gauntlet to prepare for, and Alex has finally decided that it's time to take care of Eitan and get her mother out of harm's way. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...
Thank you to Natalia for commissioning this episode! In this one, we've got Jane choosing to drop the lawsuit for reasons that I don't really fully agree with, and we have a truly despicable move coming from Rose when she feels like Luisa is forcing her hand. Meanwhile, Xoimara is struggling with having feelings for Rogelio, and Rafael is getting set up by Petra. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! These chapters have our friends managing to get out of the Labyrinth just in time to see that Bakori has already busted out and is heading up to the "room" where the Council convenes, which leads them to realizing something is probably being kept safe underneath it. Bakori is out here trying the same old tricks on Talia, who isn't having any of it, and we find out who the traitor is. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode...
Thank you to Lauren for commissioning this episode! This episode is the one where Jane thankfully pumps the breaks on things with Rafael...until she doesn't. And to be honest, I am really torn on whether or not this is a good idea because while sometimes being prudent and patient is smart when it comes to relationships, there are also times when logic has nothing to do with love and whether things work out. Thank you for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...
Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which the crew has to venture back down into the labyrinth, and they encounter a fucking bird that sounds truly horrifying. All of the adults except Artur have bailed, and while our friends are kind of freaked out, they decide to trust in the faith those same adults seem to have, and face off once again with Bakori. Well, with his henchman anyway. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...
Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! These chapters are pretty rough. There are some victories happening, but mostly there's a series of devastating losses. We've got Takval in a coma, we've got Cutanrovo absolutely transcendant with victory, we've got more descriptions of horrific torture and oppression. I'm trying to take comfort in the berries which are definitely going to be a problem for the Lyucu, but they're getting distributed among the Dara people too. UUUGHHHH Thanks for l...
Thank you to Claire for commissioning this episode! I'm so angry at Michael this episode. I hope you're ready for me to just rant for a little while at his complete unwillingness to take responsibility for the choices he repeatedly made, and the shock he feels at actually being held accountable. Meanwhile, Jane gets involved with Rafael a lot quicker than I would advise, and starts her student teaching program at a high school, where she's made to teach her evil step-sisters. Thanks for listenin...
Thank you very much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! These episodes continue the battle between the Strawhats and the Marines, but we get some bright spots! First off, the Frankie Pirates are definitely alive and well, and I'm delighted to hear that. Secondly, Luffy manages to finally beat Lucci. And lastly, we've got a resurrection and rescue from the Going Merry, which catches me totally by surprise. Thanks for listening, and I will see you in a couple weeks with the live watch an...
Thank you very much to Dan for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which...well, god so many things happen. we find out where demons come from, and how worlds touch and create weak spots. We meet Sabae's granny! And we even get a moment with Rhodes. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones where Luffy is pushing himself to the limit in his fight against Lucci, and his friends are doing the same thing against all the marines up top. The only person who isn't part of the fight is Sanji, and IDK where the hell he went. But they're all feeling mighty confident that Luffy is going to join them shortly, and then he's suddenly down. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...
Thank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode! These chapters have a lot happening in them, and there's a considerable one with Tripp playing back into the story! BUT MOSTLY I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE WEIRD DUDE THAT ALEX MEETS BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE HAVE VAMPIRES NOW
Thank you very much to Dan for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones where Hugh gets right up in the face of a VERY POWERFUL council member and basically accuses her of bigotry due to a grudge, which is pretty fucking impressive tbh. Then we have the midwinter ball, which is a hotbed for inter-personal drama and romance, and I'm delighted by Artur's reaction to his son's relationship. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...
Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we get the betrayal of Thera and Takval, followed by their clever escape and flight to the north, where they team up with the Ice People and begin a revolution. Meanwhile, Tanto is out here looking at the remains of legends, and getting elevated to an almost mythical status himself among his peers. Thanks for listening, and we will see you soon with a new episode!
Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! In these installments, we've got Luffy busting out 3rd Gear again, and we get to see just the kind of damage he could wreak with it. Meanwhile, the crew below in the tunnels is getting washed away, and we find out about Lucci's early career. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
