Editor-in-chief Maryam Piracha and Senior Articles Editor Mahnoor Yawar -- resident TV snobs of The Missing Slate -- discuss all the exciting (and disappointing) new changes in the TV lineup of the new season. We bid adieu to shows we loved last year, celebrate the seasons that kicked ass, and look towards the best of the Summer, Fall and mid-season debuts of the 2014/2015. If you were looking for guidance on what to keep an eye out for and what to pass on, look no further. (Mild spoiler warnings, naturally)

TVcast #1 - Summer/Fall 2014 Lineup

Welcome to the first episode of The Pod of Small Things, The Missing Slate's literature and poetry podcast. We're kicking things off with a quick primer to our first ever Poetry World Cup!

Hear Senior Literature Editor Jacob Silkstone talk to Mahnoor Yawar about the intricate thought process behind setting up the tournament, the incredible 32 poems we're featuring, and predictions for big winners. Plus, our official explanations for why the process is vastly superior to FIFA's.
