Hex Positive

A practical witchcraft podcast hosted by Bree NicGarran, author of Grovedaughter Witchery. Every month, join Bree for a discussion of secular witchcraft, with plenty of tips for witching on a budget, finding good resources, furthering your magical education, and keeping your common sense superpowers strong. We’ll also delve into the history of witches and witchcraft, and witches in folklore and literature, and how those ideas influence what it means to be a witch in the modern day.

All Nerd & Tie Network Podcasts

We make a bunch of podcasts at Nerd & Tie, we know it’s hard to keep up with all of them. So, with that in mind, we’ve decided to make a feed of all of them (well minus two)!

Better lock up your familial issues and not talk about things with your parents as we delve into possibly one of the worst fathers in Science-Fiction (at least this one has an excuse for emotional distance) as we talk about the most Vulcan of Vulcans, Spock (and Michael Burnham’s and Sybok’s) dad, Sarek. Is he well-meaning, or, as Miles believes, has definately eaten one of his own children like a Goya painting?

Our first trip is to go Disco with ‘Lethe’ as Michael Burnham discovers that her adopted dad has been offloading his guilt complexes onto her. Then in TOS’ ‘Journey to Babel,’ Kirk, McCoy and a whole bunch of alien delegates get caught between Spock and Sarek’s personal drama and finally, in TNG’s ‘Sarek,’ Captain Picard faces a difficult choice with a man he so deeply admires and Patrick Stewart gets to indulge in ‘ACT-ING!’

Live Long and Remember that a Family can just as much be a Found One as one you were Born into…

Timecodes:
00:07:12 DIS: Lethe
00:31:39 TOS: Journey to Babel
00:58:00 TNG: Sarek

Talking Points Include: The worst father’s in Pop-Culture, Miles has been writing again HOORAY!, Charlie is playing A LOT of Super Mario Bros. Miles wants a ‘DISCO’ shirt, “CONTENT WARNING: Jokes on Baby Eatings,” That weird thing with prequel shows when they talk about stuff that was a secret in the original show, Lorca is a shit, would Vulcans appreciate slapstick comedy? Fringe, how Miles’ Britishness switches on a daily basis, we don’t get enough Space Opera shows these days, an alien called Gav, We rate the strange aliens of ‘Journey into Babel’ and how it might be one of the most Trek-like Trek episodes, does Wesley Crusher pull?, what is the slime for? Data pulling the ‘child upset his parents are fighting’ trick with Picard and Riker, we don’t get political… honest… Star Trek is apolitical, Picard wants more hijinks in his Diet, some actually good camera work in Trek.

Pedant’s Corner: Blatchington Mill is a High School in Brighton that Miles’ mother definately felt was the runner-up to her wanting him to go to Dorothy Stringer (which he did).
