Nico Robin the Podcast

Wow, our first episode recapping the class fractured, complex and ijbol world of One Piece. Join us as we discuss things like the hero complex, queer-coded villains, "fridging", and should we really be recapping 1,000 episodes of this ridiculous show and bring shame and cringe upon our friends and family? This episode recaps episode 1-3 of season 1 of the Japanese anime series currently available on Netflix.

Ep 93-103: After surviving the wrath of Mother Nature after being lost in a gorge, our resolve has been fortified and we face the heavily trodden trope of queer-coded villains with renewed zeal. While these episodes are over 20 years old, we are yet able find redemption in the queer and pathologically unhinged Baroque Works collective. And come across an oasis in the middle of the Arabian desert which gives us hope that cultural appropriation can be nice, kind of? Also, Mariah Carey???

Ep125-152: Finally we have an intro song! Does it turn you into rubber and make you bounce up and down in fits of unabashed ecstasy? Wow!! We're back from our trip to Korea and Japan where we learned how little we have in common with some of the One Piece fans who lurk in the corridors of anime merch stores lecherously ogling the WRONG bodyparts of Nico Robin. And ummmmmm, there's a beautiful poem in this episode too.

To depict women in fiction with or without rizz? We attempt to find a balance of women participating in action and adventure who would like to feel confident and slay while also being practically equipped to fight pirates. Also we unpack the inner sadness of the lonely and afraid Roronoa Zoro (love that name)... and some exciting bird discussions..!

Of a child whiche somtyme kepte sheep the whiche cryed ofte withoute cause.
We discuss, tepidly, h*rny listener questions///????? And also spend as much time possible talking about Aesop's Fables instead of One Piece. And the announcement of our new favourite character name (EXCITING!).
