WARNING: The following podcast contains the mention and discussion of homophobic slurs.

Hamish Steele and Jade Rose open up the series with a chat about labels - our own, other peoples, their importance and use and what to call this great big, colourful, wonderful mess that is our community. As well as labels to describe our sexualities and gender, they also dissect the terms "Geek", "Nerd", "Dork" and the increasingly controversial "Gamer".

Ep. 1 - There Is No Box! *Throws Glitter*

WARNING: The following podcast contains major spoilers for Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events and minor spoilers for the book series. 

Although you may wish to continue listening to the dreary discussions of Hamish Steele and Jade Rose, I implore you to seek entertainment elsewhere. Perhaps there's a new episode of The Adventure Zone or that half-listened to How Did This Get Made you've been putting off. 

For whatever choice you make, it is guaranteed to be a wise alternative to Episode 3 of Box Not Included - where our hosts discuss A Series of Unfortunate Events - the books, the movie and the new Netflix series.

Ep. 3 - A Very Factual Discussion

WARNING: The following podcast contains spoilers for the Harry Potter franchise including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Hogwarts. The Golden Snitch. Muggles. Horcruxes. The Wizard World of JK Rowling's Harry Potter series has shaped geekdom well beyond the pages of her books. We've all tried sorting ourselves (and our favourite characters) into the houses but for some of us, finding our place in this magical world can be a little tricky. 

In this episode we take our first delve into the huge (and growing) Harry Potter franchise and begin to wonder where we fit in. As ever, we do our fair share of geeking out and appreciation but move on to discuss - Queer People and Where to Find Them?

Ep. 5 - Dumbledore Doesn't Count

WARNING: The following podcast contains discussion about Harry Potter & the Cursed Child that while free from plot spoilers does contain small details about the show.

The geeking out never truly stops here at Box Not Included so we’ve put together another episode where we share with each other what’s been square in our geeky sights since we last nerded out on air.

Hamish goes into detail about his long standing relationship with Nintendo, an anthro indie game and his impending trip to Skull Island to visit a certain ape.  Jade talks about literal theatre magic, a TV show made by those good good podcast boys and a welcome return to graphic novels.  We also share some of our thoughts regarding the upcoming Beauty & Beast movie and a certain villainous sidekick who's been getting a lot of press.

Ep. 9 - CatchUpGeekOut: A Cursed Child, Animals Big and Small, Podcast Boys and Paper Girls

Warning: The following podcast contains spoilers for the following - When Marnie Was There, Sherlock, the first episode of Riverdale and the most recent season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Taking a dive into more topical waters, in this episode Hamish and Jade attempt to tackle the often mentioned and highly infamous subject of Queer Baiting.

With the discussion ranging from the Hayes Code to Sweeps Week Lesbian Kisses, two fandom juggernauts looming over our shoulders and our pockets now significantly lighter in loose change thanks to overuse of a certain word, we offer our take on this insidious media phenomena.

Ep. 10 - Will They, Won't They? (They Won't): An Episode on Queerbaiting

LGBTQ+ people have fought for decades for positive representation in movies and tv shows. And we started winning! A slew of very friendly gay characters started to emerge, but so did a suspicious trend. In today's episodes, your hosts tackle the Gay Best Friend trope.

GBF's are often walking stereotypes - but are stereotypes really a bad thing? And when the price of representation is a character only there to support the main character without any real depth themselves, is it worth it?

Ep. 11 - Gimme, Gimme, Gimme A Good Gay Best Friend Character

What's your Guilty Pleasure? As geeks, we often find ourselves categorising, no matter how consciously, what we love into things we're proud to be fans of and things we'll read the room before acknowledging. 

In this episode, your hosts bravely admit their darkest guilty pleasures while discussing the concept of them in general. Yes - we should never feel bad about enjoying something ... but we often still do. And that can be for a number of reasons, some less obvious then others.

Ep. 12 - Not So Guilty Pleasures

The three words every nerd loves to hear: who’s your Doctor? And no, we’re not looking for a medical recommendation - we’re talking about the long-running science fiction adventure series Doctor Who!

Consider this a first dip into the multi-media franchise, as your hosts Hamish Steele and Jade Rose step into the Tardis and discuss their first experiences with the show, different eras, the companions and our favourite Doctors. We aptly cover the show’s past, present and future and consider how we’d contribute to the show given the opportunity.

Ep. 24 - CatchUpGeekOut: 5th Edition

Ep. 25 - GAYS. IN. SPAAACE!

CW: This episode took an unexpected turn and we make references to rape, pedophilia, the Holocaust and the AID's crisis.

Today we decided to tackle a motto we've been spouting since episode one - "stereotypes are not inherently bad". We explain what we mean by this and if in fact we agree with it. We discuss our feelings about which stereotypes we conform to, which ones we've actively tried to avoid and how seeing stereotypical characters in media can make us feel both annoyed but also not alone. 

In the second half of the episode, we look into some of the origins of stereotypes which is when our conversation takes a more serious tone. Apologies for venting!

Ep. 33 - A Couple of Walking Stereotypes

Some are born geeks, some become geeky and some have geekiness thrust upon them.  Or maybe it's kind of just offered up as an option to take or not take.  That's what Jade is talking about this episode with special guest, their sister Amber, the two of them discussing what it was like growing up geeky and what that means to the two of them.  From Terry Pratchett to Tank Girl with a whole lot of stuff in between and the joy of shared passions across the sibling and generational divides.
