Around the Long Fire

• Around the Long Fire 99: Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) part 12 "The Serpent in the Soul of the Serpent"

  It feels in many ways like the entire season was building to this episode, though I’m sure we’ll feel the same way in two weeks. A harrowing show today, and then we enjoy talking about some manga and some books, before Em gets heated about Online and we reflect on the Autumn months (months with Autumn as co-host, not the months of fall).Things Discussed: balancing act of doing stuff, Honey and Clover, currently running and long running manga, X/1999, Wotakoi, How Do We Relationship, Dune, Gundam Seed, some thoughts on the Andor BDS boycott and criticism at large, winding down the Autumn season, picking songs for the podcastNon-Autumn Zone: Hokuto and Kamiya's Pondering Pootan: A Podcast within a Podcast, Pondering ProctorsThe opening theme this season is “Das lila Lied” sung by Ute LemperSee the show schedule here!

  Things go bad on this episode of Berlin Alexanderplatz and they probably won’t go right again until we’re done, so please hang on for the next few weeks. We still have a good episode, even if the mood on the saga is melancholy. Things Discussed: fursonas, Abnormal Mapping, Pondering Pootan, Honey and Clover, misremembering the plot of Forrest Gump, Dune, the Stairwells bracket predictions, Non-Autumn Zone: new NANA art, Chobits manga (including tons of spoilers), Hokuto and Kamiya's Pondering Pootan: A Podcast within a Podcast, Pondering ProctorsThe opening theme this season is “Das lila Lied” sung by Ute LemperSee the show schedule here!

• Around the Long Fire 97: Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) part 10 "Loneliness Tears Cracks of Madness Even in Walls"

  We get to one of our favorite sections of the book we’d been eagerly seeing adapted, and then have Vtuber talk so long that it ends up taking up two whole segments. Also Em and Autumn get on a goddamn tear about the internet and how people spend their attention. It’s a bit of a gripe session, but hopefully people enjoy it.Things Discussed: Vtubers, ADHD and scheduling, medical stuff and doctors appointments, self-destructive behavior and coping strategies, Gawr Gura, Vtuber chat 2, Jeff Gerstmann, Northernlion, the attention economy, recommending stuff, surprise Rick cameo, Eevee evolutions, Pokémon sleep, Pondering Pokémon, Non-Autumn Zone: Hokuto and Kamiyama's Pondering Pootan, Proctoring Pootan, we totally forgot to talk about Chobits it was a long episode and we were tired. We’ll try to do it next week.The opening theme this season is “Das lila Lied” sung by Ute LemperSee the show schedule here!

  Berlin Alexanderplatz discovered a whole new gear of simmering homosexuality so we’re having a good time even before Franz decided to berate some anarchists and we hoot and holler about politics in this rowdy episode. Then the rest happens, as usual. It’s a great time.
