007: In the very first listener write-in show, Nicolette and Mike tackle "switching teams," morality, and the future of television. Of course, this leads them to tangents about the late-night shenanigans at NBC, adult toys, and other sundry things.

006: To mark their return, Nicolette and Mike tackle the cinematic juggernaut that is Avatar. It surely is stunning, but what about the things that matter most, such as characterization, storytelling, and originality? Before and after that, though, there's also talk of writing, parenting, the flirtations of old women, and an impromptu reading. And all of this is coupled with copious amounts of gin.

005: This week the hosts are joined by a special guest as they discuss the importance of reading, especially for youngsters. Throughout the show they suggest ways to get children to enjoy reading, lament rewards-based reading programs, and list books you should read — one of the recommended books even causes a bit of an argument.

003: In the first of what they hope will be many commentary tracks, Mike and Niki watch Back to the Future, make remarks about Marty McFly's ass, drink gin and tonics, and remind you that, "Where we're going, we don't need roads." Please, join them.

002: The power of music is that it can so very easily remind us of days long gone by. It also moves and shapes us, especially in our teen years. With that in mind, Mike and Niki take a look at the songs, albums and musicians that were an important factor during their time in high school. Along the way they tell stories of love, loss and family. And several times throughout Mike's reminded that he's nearly a decade older than Niki.

001: If anyone bridges the gap between geek and pop culture, it's Kevin Smith. So it only made sense for Niki and Mike to discuss the auteur in the premier episode of Earth-2.net's pop culture podcast. And by "discuss the auteur," we really mean "discuss comics, storytelling, Catholicism, excommunication, smoking where you're not supposed to, GEDs, anal leakage, Scientology, My Name is Earl, and the auteur."
