Episode 109: The Muppet Episode

We are in the very middle of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians television show, a show Sydney has been waiting for practically since she picked up The Lightening Thief at the age of 10. In tandem with watching the show as it comes out, she also finished reading the new Percy Jackson book, The Chalice of the Gods. And as soon as she opened those pages, she was transported back into the world of her childhood. And today, in the midst of the new years chaos, she wants to relax, take us back to the summer and to the place that started it all... Camp Half Blood.

Episode 110: The Request Revolution

Is Overwatch maybe a red flag game? Possibly. Is that going to stop Maya's streak of playing the game and reading their fanfiction? Absolutely not. She hasn't stopped for eight years, and she isn't stopping now. And out of all of the characters that you could play (Maybe I'll be Tracer/I'm already Tracer, What about Widowmaker?/I'm already Widowmaker), there is one character that has captured the hearts of their fandom even after a name change.

Episode 111: Pencil Pushers

DISCLAIMER: Before we begin today's episode, we'd like to kindly ask everyone 17 and under to not listen. This episode is full of NSFW content not suitable for minors. We're sorry for the inconvenience, but we will be back next with another episode suitable for all. 
Do you all remember a certain chest that Sydney has stored under her bed? Do you remember what that chest was filled with? Well it's been over a year and Sydney has dragged that chest out from its hiding spot and has opened it for all (of age 18 and older). She's dug around, rummaged between items, and pulled out a camcorder. If you are do willing, you may sit down and relax as Sydney pops in the tap she has found inside. Maybe there will be happy home videos... or maybe there will be the nastiest porn you've ever seen between Castiel and Dean Winchester. As always, send us your fic recommendations, or reach out if you are a fic author who would like to be interviewed in the future, at canonicallyincorrectpod@gmail.com
