Binary System Podcast #244: "Lore Olympus" and "The Mandalorian"

<p>Original broadcast date December 3, 2020. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2020/12/binary-system-podcast-244-lore-olympus-and-the-mandalorian/</p> <p>We managed to miscalculate once again, so this week we do <em>not </em>have a new Night Vale episode. Instead, we'll talk about our two latest obsessions, The Mandalorian and the webcomic Lore Olympus.</p> <p>Spoilers are, of course, a given, so check out this episode if you want to find out about a certain person's name and a certain fan-favorite Jedi and a certain Grand Admiral who's set to make a return to TV (jeez, vague much?), and if you're up for an in-depth look at every single thing we loved about the Lore Olympus issue 133: Wealth. Elizabeth also has some DC-related news (the comic book company, not the nation's capital. For one week only this podcast is politics-free!).</p> <p>This week's outro is a clip from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp4EeG2e4iU">Holding The Line</a> by TeknoAXE.</p> <p>Hannah shared the <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/02/07/crush-point">really fascinating New Yorker</a> article on the physics of human stampedes a few years ago, and it's definitely worth a read. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/02/07/crush-point</p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
