Minisode 12: Greatest Gabsisodes

/

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, you can’t spell GABS without ABS! Vera, Katie, and Livy are going through our favorite Gabrielle episodes in Minisode 12: Greatest Gabsisodes. We not only discuss all the famous, beloved Gabs stories, we also talk about some deep-cut eps that people don’t often list even though they’re key (anyone hungry for some fishsticks?) Plus: we talk about the Xena fandom’s many charitable initiatives and how the fans model the show’s central ethos by coming together courageously to change the world!

Minisode 11: Farscape

/

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, we’ll have pizza, and margarita shooters! Vera, Katie, and Livy are having a frelling good time with Minisode 11: Farscape, the crazy-balls puppet-heavy sci-fi show with even more tonal shifts than Xena! We discuss the creative freedom of this Australian co-production, its use of fanfic tropes, and the ways in which its sweeping love story challenged the very 90’s idea of the UST slow burn. Plus: the time Vera tricked Cate Blanchett into discussing Farscape and other early fandom adventures. For those of you who’ve already seen Farscape, at the end of the podcast we have a Spoiler Corner where we go into more detail on our favorite plots. Look upward and share the wonders we’ve seen!

The answer to that question is ours, of course! Join us as we pitch you on our proposed reboot concept, Xena: Warrior Podcast’s Xena: Warrior Princess! Baby gay Gabs, slow burn romance, Xena falls off the wagon, Twilight of the Gods but better, and more!

Minisode 08: The Amazon Wiggle

/

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, when did they do the deed? In Minisode 08: The Amazon Wiggle, Vera, Katie, and Livy are speculating wildy about exactly when Xena and Gabrielle began a romantic relationship. First we offer up our hypothesis (which involves Vera’s favorite episode, “The Quest”) before digging into a deeper question -- weren’t Xena and Gabs romantic from the start? Plus: in honor of Winter Solstice, we talk about some of the things making us happy right now, including Hallmark Christmas movies, SF/F novels starring queer ladies, and Baby Yoda!
