And now for something completely different (which I know will be subsumed in TOW2 announcement excitement): a podcast about Foreigner, by C. J. Cherryh.

DO NOT — I repeat— DO NOT listen to this if you have not read the book and love “oh, shit” revelations, because the podcast contains spoilers, including the biggest one. (Also, there are a lot of f-bombs.)

In trying to categorize the series, host Rachel said “If Bond were an alien. And also in Downton Abbey.”

The podcast also introduced me to a genre concept I’ve never heard of before: “competence porn”. And the moment I heard it I was like YES, this is my THING!

I’m literally a child, but I’ll do what I can

Who’s that?

If she wants to stay alive, she’ll ming her own goddamn business!

I got all night, motherfucker!

That’s not quite what I was asking for

Sorry to interrupt your ______ just now

“Who are you?” “The Female Body Inspector”

I've got some vital information for you

I’m gonna assume that I know what we’re talking about

But there’s zombies everywhere!

I fucking heard that, idiot!

You grossly misunderstood how this whole thing works

Dance with me!

I knew this would come back to haunt me

She must’ve gone back up the stairs...

Where’d she go?

Oh, there you are

*phone rings* I hope it’s not my dad

I’m so fucking bored, I wish i had some crayons

Die, bitch!

Lock the door!

You think you’re getting out?!

This is the worst thing to ever happen to me

This is so anxiety inducing
