Honestly it was SUCH a good choice to have buddy know about Nureyev’s debt. It’s incredibly frustrating when plots hinge on secrets like that and it also meant that the conversation at the end with buddy was INCREDIBLE and made me adore her so much

The commentary track after man of the future (I think it was that one) honestly *did* help me reflect better on the underlying messaging of them, but it’s still SO frustrating and sad that honestly Ramses was right about so much, he just needed someone to tell him to do away with the theias

Woah there cowboy, don’t you know this is THE Jedediah Jordan, a completely unknown host?!?? Well he’s funny! And a little off putting. And his temper is kind of short. And he has a tendency to torture his contestants. But it’s okay, we love him #tppthirst#thepenumbrapodcast#thirstpodcast#fanart

I can finally say that when I was listening to this ep I was just thinking oh I’d simply kill Jedediah because I would have absolutely zero bad feelings about it,,, Welp I guess I actually could not
Despite great personal... ahem... sacrifice, Jedediah Jordan is not pleased with how episode 2 of Can't Tear My Eyes From You went. What's he going to take next to keep the ratings high?
You can find out right now, because episode 9 of THIRST is available on all podcast platforms!

I’ve not finished the Ramses storyline yet but it always makes me SO sad. That like, his underlying principles were right, his only issue that he was forcing people into it. I like to think that if he just hadn’t have done that, it would have worked out exactly like he intended.

Getting to listen to the commentary for the Juno eps this time around is SO good!! I’ve always praised Penumbra for its sound design and soundscaping and getting to hear how Harley does it now makes complete sense!!!!

There’s SO many more things I’m able to appreciate about Juno now that my brain isn’t filled with all the plot reveals (because I remember them all and it’s not like a big OHHHH SHITTT moment)
