Episode 15: Rodents of Unusual Size

 

Hello, fellow nerds! It’s read-a-long day and time for episode 15 of the Our Nerdiest Thing podcast!  This week, we read chapters 31-32 of “From Blood & Ash” by @jennifer_l_armentrout .

In this episode we discuss the chapters, as well as real life rodents of unusual size, the Capybara, which are way more tame than the terrifying barrats in the FBAA universe.  We also talk about Reiki healing, and ponder if Poppy and Hawke are suffering from a hero complex.  

Drink up "Our Nerdiest Cocktail" named "Your Ego Never Fails to Amaze Me". It can be found here!

Fave episode quote: “I’d rather drown than have sex with you” - Whitney as the Capybara
