The Innervator

PEOPLE ARE STILL TERRIBLE: The last few weeks have been heavy with news of important people in the various nerd industries––video games, tabletop, comics, etc.––getting called out as sexual predators who, for years, were protected by the companies they worked for. Andrew and D. Bethel don't dive into specific cases as much as why these people's predatory behavior had been "open secrets" for years and hadn't suffered for it.

Schrodinger's Coulson: To end on more fun news, Andrew and D. Bethel discuss the first few episodes of the new, final season of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, which has the crew hopping through different time periods.
