GW Ready Legion One
13/04/2018 Duration: 01h28minHoly Shirt! It's Here! The long referenced, heavily procrastinated, thoughtfully researched Ready Player One episode! Joined by Bella and Mina of the Geekend Amazons and guest host Keith, the characters and content of the Book "Ready Player One" are dissected. This episode was recorded prior to most of the trailers being released and months prior to the film release. It's a little dated, but not too much. The intro that was added to the beginning of the episode was recorded on the road using my phone and Mina of Geekend Amazons was kind enough to add it to the beginning, even after all the work she did editing this behemoth. This is the last official send-off of "Talk Nerdy to Me" as our intro and outro. We are infinitely grateful to K-Face Rules for allowing these little no-name podcasts to use their song for the past almost 2 years.

GA Episode 29 - Docu Like a Hurricane: “Miss Representation”
05/04/2018 Duration: 01h01minThe media has a bigger influence than we think over how women and girls look at themselves and each other. In this episode, the Amazons watched the 2011 documentary “Miss Representation” and had a no holds barred discussion about the topics covered - from plastic surgery to “redomestication”, it’s all pretty awful.
