Xena Warrior Business

If ever there was a time to google Ambrosia Salad, now, dear listeners, is that time. Here's a question: if New Zealand is an Island, and that Island has treature on it, and Thirst Trap, Log Lady, and Tummy Palace go on a treasure hunt on New Zealand, is this episode based on Treasure Island?? Cathy Leamy (@metrokitty) joins us, bringing her expertise of Ye Olde 90's-and-early-oughts Internet, as well as a prior knowledge of having VISITED WHOOSH DOT ORG!!! Uber fic, Forever Knight and Due South are discussed, many beaded curtains are parted and walked through, and Allison finally gets sick of a joke!

Saddle up, listeners! It's time for our very first Gabbysode, where we tackle the world of Xenaphemera that exists outside the actual show. This time, by popular request, Chris and Allison are doing a deep dive into a popular piece of Xena erotic fan-fiction, but also talking about the importance of fanfic to XWP fandom and fandom at large, as well as the impact it's had on their own lives. Tune in for all that, plus a discussion of what might be the worst possible lube we've ever even heard of!

Chrisicus Allisonyus, the expert critic, discusses the nature of television in those wild, syndicated, pre-streaming, pre-binging years. While network shows got regular runs and regular timeslots, syndicated television was like the wild west: unpredictable, and needing a clip show to catch viewers up to what they might have missed. We ask deep questions, like: What could Xena have done to improve the storyline if she'd been allowed to actually participate in this episode? Was Homer rushing, or was he dragging? But more importantly, is Gabrielle actually good at storytelling? The answers may surprise you! We are joined by actual bard Matt D. Wilson (@TheMattDWilson) of War Rocket Ajax and Movie Fighters podcasts. Also, this episode broke Dan Cassino! He just couldn't even.

This week on Captive Princeness (that's Prince Business, not Princess), Chris Sims, the Prince of Podcasting, is stripped of his title, left for dead, and sent to cohost a Xena podcast with Allison Stock, the small, angry, blonde one. Actually, it's another lackluster season 1 episode of Xena. This episode has everything! Facts about comic book writers writing for 90s TV! The return of sounds courtesy of Tom's Xena Page! And let's face it, the moment you've all been waiting for: THE RETURN OF PERDICAS A.K.A. GREG!!!!!! We are also joined by self proclaimed Season 1 apologist Steve Gaulin (@ehsteve88)!!

Hello, my friends! We've got a very special episode in store for you tonight! Join us as we discuss a rare, never-before seen episode of Xena, Warrior Princess, entitled Chris [Sims] Gets Married.

In their discussion of this very forgettable but actually pretty good episode, Chris mistakes Allison (a library of Alexandria truther) for a flat earther! Anyway... you've grown legendary! Join us to analyze this very roomy dungeon filled with very thirsty bisexuals, where justice is dealt unto those who make rape jokes swiftly and by sword-wielding ninjas. We get to meet some characters from Xena's dark past--actually, no, wait, Xena's rather nice past, actually. Also... what’s up with Gabrielle’s shitty, shitty hat? We're joined by by New Zealand accent aficionado James D’Amato (@OneShotRPG) of Campaign and the One Shot Podcast.

Hey Amazon, wanna go for a ride? We're finally in double digits all around, friends, so you know what that means. Time for Chris and Allison to behold a TRIUMPH of special effects artistry, a horse... that's also a dude. We've got a rectangle wrapped in hair (a centaur), the word of the day (tatty), and maybe the worst facial hair in the history of television. Anyway, they're women, they're horses, they're centaurs, they're men: YOU GET IT! We're joined by special guest Emma Lawson (@emmalawson), a librarian and fellow ComicAlliance friend!  Follow us on twitter: @XenaWarriorBiz This podcast is the spinoff/sister podcast of SAILOR BUSINESS.

If ever you needed a reminder that Chris and Ally are still slogging through season one, Gabrielle throws herself at yet another shitty Greg in the second episode in a row featuring a deity chained up somewhere. Only this time, instead of resulting in everyone's untimely death, now NOBODY can die. Their levels of pain and suffering may vary, but one fact remains: that this episode should probably have been called Death in CHAIR. So, come. Sit. Enjoy a sumptuous feast of earthly delights. We are joined by Elle Collins (@AnotherElle)!!! An expert in podcasting, they raise interesting points (queer people love Xena!) and ask tough questions (does Xena actually have super powers??). Elle, you remain the best.

It's the crossover you demanded--or at least, somebody demanded it and we know it wasn't us--as Hercules and Iolaus join up with Xena and Gabrielle for an adventure of... TITANIC proportions. Get it? GET IT?  That's right, everyone, Xena and Hercules have to rescue Prometheus, and along the way, Kel McDonald (@kellhound) joins us to talk about Gabby's role as a consolation prize in the show's least believable romance, sexy oracles that look like Artemis from IASIP, and Xena's greatest challenge: Twitter Eggs! Plus, you'll find out what ABDL means, because if we have to know it, so do you. Follow us on twitter: @XenaWarriorBiz This podcast is the spinoff/sister podcast of SAILOR BUSINESS.

Good Morning! Good Night! Athens! Make sure you're pronouncing that correctly so that you can wake up the newest episode of Xena Warrior Business! Christa Rodriguez (@PaleAngelLex) joins Allison and Chris for Xena Season 1, Episode 7: "The Titans," featuring a plot in which Gabrielle's virginity is literally more important than the person the show is named for.  Listen in as we discuss the slow evolution of the characters into what they're meant to be and introduce our readers to the Sensational Character Find of 2017: Crystal Rose of Athens! Also, please be sure to let us know if our new segment - Xena's ASMR Corner - ticks all your boxes with regards to that special tingly ASMR feeling!

Get ready for a landmark episode, as we watch the first appearance of Ares! Well, not the FIRST first appearance, but... Listen, it's complicated, and not just because we're trying to figure out why the God of War has such a terrible goatee. Xena is framed for a crime she didn't commit, and might just end up being punished for crimes she DID commit instead? Special guest Ally Brinken (@AllyBrinken) joins us as Gabrielle goes full Phoenix Wright for "The Reckoning!"  Follow us on twitter: @XenaWarriorBiz This podcast is the spinoff/sister podcast of SAILOR BUSINESS.

We took the road less traveled by...but we just couldn't cut it!! This week, special guest Lucas Brown (@lokified) joins us to talk about The Path Not Taken, aka: 'Gyna on the Roof, aka The Princess Bride But Boring, an episode of Xena Warrior Princess that must have been a spec script that they just... felt like shooting, for some reason.  There's a sex joke in the first minute, though. Also, Allison had to cut about an hour of her ranting about a certain figure skating anime from this episode so as not to give you three hours of content to listen to, oh boy. Be sure to keep listening after our sign-off for a special segment, courtesy of Lucas Brown. On his podcast, The Math of You, he creates cocktails inspired by his guests. He blessed us with not one but TWO cocktails inspired by the episode of Xena we all discussed together. Recipes are as follows: The Red-Headed Bard Sweet, bubbly and always ready for adventure, and befits the Battling Bard of Potidaea. 1/2oz vodka 1/2oz ouzo 1oz creme de cassis 2oz le

This week, special guest Elisabeth Dubois (@elisedubois) joins us to talk about Cradle of Hope, an episode that is shockingly not about the baby Gabrielle's going to have with a Lovecraftian Elder God in season 3. Uh, spoiler warning, I guess? Instead, we get a half-assed take on the Secret Origin of Moses, with Pandora and her box thrown in for good measure. Plus, we debut a new segment: "The Dan Scrolls," in which former guest Dan Cassino (@dancassino) tells us all about the actual history and mythology that Xena brushes up against, none of which actually appears in the episode.

Were you ever confused about the definition of a breast dagger and/or the appropriate time to use one? Have you ever been wracked with guilt over the lasting damage caused by throwing a rock into a river? Have you ever wondered if facing off against your evil past-self would mean actually fighting yourself or just your own stunt double? Have you ever needed to report a dead highwayman, but just didn't know how? Did you ever want to know just how historically accurate Xena Warrior Princess was? Well, Chris and Allison are joined by special guest Dan Cassino (@dancassino) to answer these questions and many more on this latest episode of Xena Warrior Business, which focuses on Xena Warrior princess episode 3: Dreamworker.

Chris and Allison are back on track with Xena Warrior Princess episode 2: Chariots of War, an episode that contains no war and barely any chariots. Also, it's really....... straight. Straight as an arrow. Heterosexual to the max. It's weird. Listen in as we’re joined by special guest Erin Hunter (@peachkinn) to talk about this very, very hetero episode.

Chris and Allison have traveled to Xena's FUTURE!!! That is, to Season 2, episode 9: A Solstice Carol. Listen, if Xena: Warrior Princess the SHOW can travel through time (spoiler alert: it does. a lot.) then so can Xena Warrior Business the PODCAST. Continuity will have to wait, because Solstice night is almost here!! The show runners didn't know how long they had left, so they decided to cram not one not two but FOUR CHRISTMAS STORIES into one episode!! Put a chakram on your tree because it's snowing in New Zealand! Listen in as we’re joined by special guest Tana Ford (@tanaford) to talk about what it was like to watch Xena while growing into your adolescence.

After getting through her appearances on Hercules, Chris and Allison have finally arrived at the very first episode of Xena: Warrior Princess! Listen in as we’re joined by special guest Jordan D. White to talk about the barely-subtextual text of Gabrielle, the controversy surrounding Argo’s first appearance, and why the show should actually be called Xena: Warrior Tavern Heiress.  Follow us on twitter: @XenaWarriorBiz This podcast is the spinoff/sister podcast of SAILOR BUSINESS.

Chris and Allison begin their odyssey back to a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings, when a land in turmoil cried out for a hero – but before we get to all that, we’ve got to get through the three episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys that introduced us to our favorite Warrior Princess. Listen in as we go through Netflix histories, crush on Callisto, and start in on a mighty podcast forged in the heat of battle!  Follow us on twitter: @XenaWarriorBiz This podcast is the spinoff/sister podcast of SAILOR BUSINESS.
