<p>Hi robots! Another year, another wrap-up of the media we enjoyed most while experiencing that particular unit of time. The fact that we&#8217;ve made it to a second-annual anything is, frankly, astonishing, and we thank you for hanging in there with us. No matter how big or small, we love knowing you&#8217;re there.</p>

<p>Talking points: spooky houses and the nature of ghosts; Japanese workplace anime ft. heavy metal; genre flexibility in science fiction audio drama; novels of family devotion and dementia; monster girls and readers who love them; science as philosophical and cultural touchstone; why we needed to go to Wakanda; post-apocalyptic fantasy for the geologically active; a break-down on the toxic culture behind stand-up; one chapter in the battle of robots vs fairies; and, hey, happy holidays!</p>

Episode 30: Deborah Harkness's "A Discovery of Witches"

Remedial Studies is a podcast by two nerdy ladies who just want to make the world listen to our academic opinions on the most nonacademic subjects. No media form is off limits! Books people call trash? Absolutely! Albums from artists you never heard of (or heard too much of)? You betcha! Movies that never got their box office due for being "too niche?" Where would we be without them! Television that you stayed up way too late to watch? We're right they're with you! Games that would have gotten you made fun of as a kid that are kind of cool now? We're your one stop shop! Join us, Hannah and Rachel, as we work through all the pop culture we can get our hands on and do our best to stay on topic along the way. New episodes every other Tuesday.
