BS-Free Witchcraft

Bullshit-Free Witchcraft is a monthly podcast on the Modern Witchcraft movement, minus any extraneous, well, bullshit. Look, aesthetics are great, and none of us would be here if we didn’t love the mystery — but there’s a lot of misinformation floating around, and this podcast aims to dispell it.

It’s a show designed to cater to all ranges of experience — from those who have been witches for decades to those just starting out. We hope there’s something here for everyone.

New episodes come out the last Saturday of the month.

All Nerd & Tie Network Podcasts

We make a bunch of podcasts at Nerd & Tie, we know it’s hard to keep up with all of them. So, with that in mind, we’ve decided to make a feed of all of them (well minus two)!

Grab your tastiest sandwich and try not to spoil Twin Peaks as we return to Deep Space 9 with an all-DS9 extravaganza. We’re talking about the opening three-parter of season two of Deep Space Nine which, unlike the Augment three-parter of Enterprise we covered (in We Have Wrath of Khan at Home), we’re discussing and placing on the Big List as one single entry and not three seperate ones. Watch as in ‘The Homecoming,’ Kira goes off to rescue Bajor’s greatest resistance fighter and gets no end of grief for it, then we see that Odo has an actual friend while Kira has one of those awkward naked dreams while uncovering Bajoran nationalists in ‘The Circle’ and then the simmering Bajoran nonsence ends up in some Die Hard antics on the Station as our heroes must endure ‘The Siege’ where this should hopefully wrap up. No Vedek Winn’s were harmed during the making of these episodes for which we are deeply sorry.

Timecodes:
00:11:25 DS9: The Homecoming
00:35:11 DS9: The Circle
00:56:11 DS9: The Siege

Talking points include: This used to be a TNG episode, Bajoran nonsense, Twin Peaks references (some spoilers removed) the DS9 novel mentioned last episode, Odo pranking Quark, Miles prefers Sisko with no beard, the Return of Grappler Zorn and a digression into G.I.Joe, Frank Langella aka Skeletor, Sisko’s better at the ‘We’re with Starfleet, we don’t lie’ than Wesley, Odo has a friend-an actual friend (cue references to ‘The Inbetweeners’, Vedek Winn would unapologetically tweet ‘Thoughts and Prayers’, The Prime Directive is poorly written legislation, we do a Die-Hard, Bashir would have a pith helmet, Deep Space Nine still working out what it can do and it feels that the Bajor stuff falls by the wayside with much larger threats, Krim wants to be Sisko’s big rival, this is all too neat in resolution.
