Adam Blackwell and Amy Stirling met as graduate students in anthropology, both obsessed with studying the same dead language and long-lost culture. Their relationship was always... complicated. They were bitter rivals, ideological opposites, and even went out on a date once - though they’d really prefer if everyone forgot about that last thing, thank you very much.

Then, they became the first two ... more

  • Anxiety Avengers Acquire Infinity Gems.

    Acting! Quips! Zingers! Academia! Banter! Shouting over each other! Questions during a spell!

    It's an odd study of how power is percieved by those without power, and how it affects others.

    I can't say they aren't realisticly drawn, but these aren't pleasant people to spend time with. I've never yelled STFU at a podcast before.

    Ep 11 has adults acting like adults, finally.

  • Interesting story and the acting is good, but there is a fair bit of repetition and one plot hole that keeps bothering me.

  • Anthropological artifacts give academics superpowers. That's it in a nutshell. Has elements of Modes of Thought in Antierran Literature, but it's more focused on narrative than world building, though there's plenty of that too. A quality show, a lot of effort clearly went into crafting an engaging world.
