As the Burnheart's Day Saga continues, Luke confronts Lady Photon about her origins and plans for the future while Pate stands guard, both keenly aware that they have stepped into a carefully-constructed trap... meanwhile, Pipa and Juno have some tasty street food!
Content warning for state surveillance, discussion of transphobia

Look, stuff like corporate partnerships, faerie curses, revolutionary praxis, and shadowy deals are important, I guess, but that's nothing compared to trying to have a nice date in your city's weird regional Valentine's Day variant! Which is what this episode is about. I'd blabber more but I wouldn't want to spoil all the romantic surprises, or the fact that Pate is goth now. Wait forget that last part.

As we jump from one out-of-date holiday season to another, it's time for some more Love Letters to see how everyone fares with their personal goals! Juno wins hearts and minds at the cost of her sanity, Pate does some research for one, Luke learns some more about Luka's role model, and Pipa makes a deal of the most devilish kind!
Content warning for arranged marriage proposal.

Hey look, our episodes have titles now! And that's not the only thing that's new: it's time to introduce your new favorite Masks character! He sucks really bad.

If you wanted an easy way to pitch Big Gay Nerds to friends and/or family, we've got just the thing for you! Our founder/editor gives you an overview of what BGN is all about, and backs it up with two prime examples of the kind of stuff we get up to.
Clips are taken from Big Gay Nerds Episodes 255 and 260.
Content warning for brief drugging mention and alcohol.
Three big fights come to a head! Luke is doing his damnedest to foil his father-figure's assassination, but is Le Chat just too much robot catboy to handle? Meanwhile, Juno's on the scene with Pipa and Luca, but the situation's only going to get messier, especially for Pipa. And of course, what will happen when Pate finds herself locked in combat with someone who's just plain stronger than her? In this episode, things are going to change...
Content warning for prisons, bullet wounds, urban collateral damage, bodily transformation, and execution imagery.

Things are poppin' off in many places at once as a solid 75% of the New Wave find themselves facing off against deadly adversaries! Pate has a close-quarters tangle with Bodach, for once unsure if she should stand her ground or try to get away; Pipa has to deal with Lady Photon's surprise attack, with Agent Tan as either an unexpected ally or a serious liability; and Luke must defend his jerk-ass adoptive dad from Le Chat, despite the fact that he's got an anti-speedster payload. Surely Juno will be able to help tip the scales... assuming she doesn't butt heads with another hero on the way over. But why would I even say that?
Content warnings for brief suicidal ideation, gunfire and gun injury, and prisons.
Music by Perennial Sounds LLC
Our plucky young heroes are about to enter some very high-stakes situations with some very suboptimal positioning. Juno cuts some boardroom deals, Luke argues with the man whose life he's trying to save, Pate gets some answers she didn't want, and Pipa finds herself in quite the pickle.
Content warning for prisons, arrests, breaking glass, and sniper fire.

Everyone in New Wave has their own issues to deal with, whether it's evil parallel selves, constant threats to their autonomy, or a mysterious past that overlaps unexpectedly with an uncertain present. Now, they're going to have opportunities to resolve those issues... and to really screw themselves over with some of the worst rolls we've ever witnessed on this podcast!
Content warning for mild transphobia
Music by Perennial Sounds LLC
Our young heroes have a lot to struggle with, whether it's their future selves, less-than-cooperative superheroes, concerned parental figures, or evil boys made out of cloud-stuff. Plenty happens in this episode but that's all I can think to say about it, so you've just gotta listen to learn more.
Content warning for suffocation by gas

Just because we're over halfway through January IRL doesn't mean we can't keep the Christmas content rolling! The New Wave should be preparing to spend the big day together, but unfortunately, they're superheroes. That means they have to deal with annoying hassles like foiling cloudy criminals, inventing sci-fi doodads, tracking down their evil future self, and dealing with unwanted fame.

As the dust settles, sparks fly! Pipa may have put an end to Scratch's rampage, but her... question means have landed her soundly on Juno's bad side! How far will she go to try and make things right? Meanwhile, Luke is dedicated to giving his team some Christmas spirit no matter what violations of trust they may have endured/caused, and Pate tries to bring her Big Sis energy to bear. Will any of it be enough? Listen to find out!
Content warning for urban destruction, discussion of bodily control, and memory alteration.
Music by Perennial Sounds LLC
Folks, it's another episode where I really can't say much without spoiling everything, which in my book always means it's a real humdinger of an episode. As Mark Four continues to rampage, Pipa gets in place to enact her master plan, but she's not letting anyone else in on what that actually is...
Content warning for urban destruction, industrial machinery, explosions, bodily control, and character death (kinda).

Holiday preparations are disrupted when Ninelives Mark Four, also known as Scratch, makes landfall at Halcyon City! Pipa, naturally, has plans to take down her kaiju-sized older sibling, but it will be up to everyone else to make sure it doesn't flatten everything before that plan can be executed! How will our heroes fare against their biggest foe yet? Stay tuned!
Content warning for urban destruction, civilian endangerment, and falling rubble.

Guess who's back for... a HOLIDAY SPECIAL? The rookie superheroes of Halcyon city still have loads on their plates--supervillains at large that may or may not be parallel versions of you, government agencies just waiting for you to slip up, rocky relationships and "will they won't they" dance numbers--but the stresses of the holiday season aren't going to hold back on that account! Also, do you hear something menacing in the distance?
Music by Perennial Sounds LLC
It all comes down to this! A three-way battle becomes a two-way battle, and that's when things get Interesting. Who's walking away with the prize... and who's walking away at all?
Content warning for bodily control, hallucinations, toxic gas, hospitalization, decapitation, and the undead.

The final battle begins! After one of the NPCs--I won't spoil which--manages to secure both halves of the prize, the only thing to do is come together for one big ninja throwdown! Will Seiko and Jiro be able to work together long enough to take out the competition, even when said competition is a samurai biker and a witch who can summon giant skeletons?

Our tale of supernatural intrigue continues as characters start uncovering each others' secrets and finally making moves to secure the prize of esoteric ninja lore for themselves. Motorcycles, garrote-whips, shadow crows, and stink bombs will fly as the cold war heats up! Also, unrelated to that, the podcast founder transed her dang gender.

It's time to backflip back into the shadowy, mystical world of Shinobigami! Jiro and Seiko are unwittingly put back onto converging paths as they both investigate a black-market auction of ancient texts. But they aren't the only ones; two other ninja clans are represented by their own mysterious eccentrics, and as different parties start taking stock of their competition, it becomes apparent how quickly things might escalate...
