You should give Wolf 359 (a sci-fi podcast about the small crew of a space station orbiting a distant star that starts off funny and harmless before descending into plot and pain terratory) and The Bright Sessions (a character driven SF drama framed within the therapy sessions of a-typicals: people with super powers). Both are really good and have a lot of listening material. I've also heard great things about Wooden Overcoats, Uncanny County, and King Falls AM

Oh my God remember when

What about Shelia though? An amazing bike, or a human who's ever seen off her giant, decked-out bike. DOes she ever get off it? No.

Caboose’s bike is also called Sheila. Tucker is naturally the first to point out the implications of this. Caboose doesn’t get it. He just thinks Shelia is a really great lady and wants to name his bike after her. Nobody has the heart to explain to him.

Wash is constantly getting into crashes and scraps with cars; it's a miracle he's not dead yet, just like Canon. Also please consider terrifying monster biker Maine with pfl era wash squashed into a sidecar

Wash’s bones are more healed fracture than anything else. This gives him a punch and a shin-kick like an iron bar. His own bike is constantly in bits or under repair half the time which means he rides in the sidecar. Maine’s bike is plenty big enough for Wash to ride on the saddle behind him. Everyone just likes the effect of Wash grumbling at knee level.

Additional things: 

the AIs were some souped-up performance mods, some of which seemed to work OK but others tended to malfunction and get people killed. Lots of arguments over who was to blame for who dying.

Felix, Locus, and Cyrus were an attempt to form their own little vigilante independent chapter. Things went Wrong. Now it’s just the two of them doing what they do in canon, aka dubious shit for money. 

Everybody wears their helmets all the time just like in canon, only they are biker helmets with tinted visors.

ahahahahah joke’s on you I tagged them with their new name that you did not know

Thank you for the excuse

1. Red team or Blue Team?

Better dead than red

2. Who is your favorite Red?

How do I even pick one? They come as a big dumb bickering group. How can you pick out one individually?

3. Who is your favorite Blue?

Caboose. Church is too much of an asshole, Tucker is Tucker and idk if Wash counts.

4. Who is your favorite Freelancer?

I’m gonna say Maine bc Wash and Tex have enough love from everyone else already. 

5. Best season?

Season 8 has those two kickass fight scenes, but season 11 has Felix, and season 13 has that thing with the rotating platforms and the frikking ENDING and just. Yeah I can’t pick.

6. Best arc?

the Chorus arc for sure. Lookit at all this character development

7. Favorite Caboose line?

“I am an emotional timebomb!”

8. Favorite line not spoken by Caboose?

“Apparently they found Santa” (purely for the accompanying double take. Something Felix said would also qualify but he talks so damn much)

9. Best villain?

oh I wonder

10. Favorite ship (romantic ship not an actual ship)?

MaineWash, or as I like to call it, Mash

(I distract myself from the pain with dumb jokes)

11. Favorite running gag?

“Shotgun!”

“Fuck!”

the asshole character and the eldritch monster combined your friends know you so well

It's also worth noting that chorus Wash probably doesn't have the enhancement on him. They changed his armour at the end of s8, but while a) he'd used the healing unit multiple times in front of them before and b) he quite clearly needed it leaving the EMP in his old armour would explain why he hasn't used it since and idk how likely it is for it to have been transferred in the first place.
