Around the Long Fire 115: The Iliad, introduction
Description
We begin our largest book yet as we read the overly long introduction to The Iliad and talk a little bit about our time with this book before the podcast. Then, the usual yapping. Em has gotten increasingly horse-pilled. Niamh’s seen the heart of the cards.
Things Discussed: bookmark habits, day off activities, Gundam Build Fighters, movie recommendations, Pokemon cards, mental health, book update, new gaming horizons, Persona 5 The Phantom X, Umamusume (game and Beginning of a New Era), Arknights, Infinity Nikki (if you point out Em mixed this up with Yume Nikki she’s going to time you out for an entire day in the discord)
See the show schedule here! This’ll tell you which versions of books and which sections of those books we’re reading each week.
Niamh podcasts on Export Audio with Ghost Divers and Ornate Stairwells. Fae posts on bluesky at foxmomnia.exportaud.io and on twitter @foxmomnia
