The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2021/02/binary-system-podcast-256-wandavision-and-lore-olympus-again/</p> <p>That's right, we actually got completely caught up with <em>WandaVision! </em>And now we have to wait an entire week before the next episode. Seven days to get new content <em>what is this the stone ages?</em> #firstworldproblems</p> <p>ANYWAY, we're recapping episodes five, six, and seven of WandaVision SPOILERS AHOY. But first we've got the weekly SitRep and our thoughts on people who think wind turbines are responsible for people freezing to death. And after the WandaVision recap we jump into Lore Olympus so we can talk about fertility goddesses and whether or not Apollo is still Zeus' son if Hera isn't Zeus' sister. It's<em> complicated.</em></p> <p>This week's outro is a clip from <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/crowander/electronic-fragments/traveller" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" title="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/crowander/electronic-fragments/traveller">Traveller</a> by Crowander.</p> <p>Correction 1: Okay, we said one of the WandaVision intros was like Family House.
