Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, hosted by Brigid & Clint. Episode 5 covers the fifth part of The Mercy of Gods, FISSURES.
In this episode:
- we meet all the new people that our group has discovered, including Jellit, Merrol, Dennia, and good old Llaren Morse.
- Dafyd and Else interview the weird and diverse alien menagerie, and discover that none of them want to talk to them at all.
- The Night Drinkers are lightly genocided.
- Brigid wants to stage an intervention for Synnia.
- Clint highlights all the ways in which the Swarm's confessions support his (maybe) extremely correct TWA theory.
- Rickar gets laid! Good for Rickar.
- Jon Bernthal talks survivorship bias, and references this meme.
- Tonner figures out how to feed the turtles.
- Your hosts debate which camp they would find themselves in, the fighters or the livers.
