This Is Our Design #19- “Entree” with Steve Prokopy

In this episode, co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick are joined by Steve Prokopy of Ain't It Cool News as they delve into a bigger, sadder Jack Crawford who could use a helping hand (or arm). Stick around for all the hidden treasures of "Kate's Classical Corner," "The Devil in the Details," and "Spoiled Meat," which isn't as disgusting as it sounds. Or maybe it is. You can let us know by leaving a comment!

This Is Our Design #18- “Coquilles” with Zack Handlen and Dennis Perkins

Nostalgia is only one feeling we draw on in This Is Our Design, however. The others are much less benign. They are, in fact, troubling, just like Hannibal. We'd like to say "Luckily, you have co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick to guide you," but there's nothing lucky about that, at least regarding Sean, who curses at his inanity at some point in this podcast (listener discretion is advised). However, special guests Zack Handlen and Dennis Perkins from The A.V. Club swoop in to alleviate the whole situation. Tune in for some lengthy discussions of friendship, inevitability, and the wonder that is Gina Torres. Also, stick around for the following recurring segments: "Kate's Classical Corner," "The Devil in the Details," and "Spoiled Meat," and sit in awe at how cleverly titled they remain, even after the novelty has worn off. Have a listen and feel free to join the discussion by leaving some comments.

The Televerse #158- Make-You-Watch-athon 3: Samurai Jack, Frisky Dingo, The Amazing Screw-On Head

It’s The Televerse’s third birthday, and once again, we’re celebrating with our annual Make-You-Watchathon, where the hosts each choose a series to make the other(s) watch. This year, it’s an animation party, with all three Televerse cohosts participating and choosing animated series. First, however, it’s another more relaxed week in TV, as the summer series continue to wind down. We kick things off with the finale of SYTYCD and some comedy talk, including the premiere of The League and the return of Gravity Falls, and then take a brief look at some genre (Doctor Who and Outlander) before diving in with the dramas, including the premiere of Boardwalk Empire and the finale of the uneven first season of The Leftovers. Afterward, we kick off the Make-You-Watchathon with Sean’s pick, Samurai Jack, before moving on to Simon’s, Frisky Dingo, and rounding out the segment with Kate’s pick, The Amazing Screw-On Head.
