Brought To The Table

Let's talk about that good leaf water! Carter has been drinking a lot of tea recently because he stopped drinking coffee (idiot) so we talked about that hot leaf juice. How do you make it? Who decided that dirty leaves were a good idea to drink? What in the world is Kombucha? In what way do we blast Carter's mom? Find out this week on BTTT.

We're all a little slaphappy today, friends. We have fun facts and controversial opinions about ice cream for our listening audience's delight and horror, respectively, as well as a few solid goofs. Please enjoy our first ever episode with a cliffhanger. Will we remember to follow through with it next week? Stay tuned to find out. Kaitlyn's audio is weirdly quiet in the second half, we do apologize for this. She was still freshly out of the moving van and perhaps should have waited another week until she had a real-ass audio set up.

It's here. The very first episode that the BTTT crew ever recorded. Dug out from the Disney Vault. Don't know how it got in there but uhhh it's out now. We love Aang so much. So should you.

In this heated episode of Brought to the Table, Diana and Scott debate two modern retellings of the Sherlock Holmes stories: BBC's Sherlock and CBS's Elementary. Ian dings the bell between rounds before people get hurt.

This week we get another small group of people to bring you 2016's hit Zelda game: Breath of the Wild. Carter, Diana, and Scott complain about lack of plot, minimal dungeons, but overall praise the games open world and fun mechanics. Take a listen to see if you'd like to finally buy this game that came out two years ago.

This week we take a dive into the world of Lovecraft, his creatures, and beyond. Names are mispronounced and stories of worlds beyond our imagining as humans are told all while Scott tries not to go crazy. This would be a great Halloween episode but we celebrate early.

This week's episode features a smaller cast! Carter and Scott ramble on about glitches in classic video games: what happened and what caused them. Kaitlyn tags along for the wild ride.

This week we decided to mix it up and each do our own topic! (Well all of us except Ian, who is MIA). Diana breaks down a horror game for us & it's innovative narrative mechanics, Carter talks about his favorite summer time treat, Kaitlyn talks about a wild song by the man, the myth, the legend Trent Reznor, and Scott talks about some game I guess.

This episode of BTTT, Kaityn and Ian talk about medicinal and historic uses of honey. Should you put honey on your skin? I mean, probably. Then, Diana and Scott talk about the extremely good TV show Brooklyn 99. We also have our very first listener mail! Hear about what the lovely Amy keeps in her backpack.

This episode of BTTT, Kaitlyn and Carter team up (for the last time) to discuss the groundbreaking, emotional masterpiece of an album that is Carly Rae Jepsen's third album, E·MO·TION. Then, Ian and special guest Wendy team up to discuss Polyamory in the modern day. There's some good lessons to be learned about communication, regardless of your status! In both segments, I mean. Carly Rae taught me to be a better communicator with the absolute bop that is "Boy Problems." Scott hosts, Diana is the peanut gallery. That's right, Diana has just many peanuts in human form this whole time.

Ian and Scott team back up again for another segment on robotics. Those two boys give us a good book learnin about how robots and other technologies are influenced by nature. Carter and Diana get really excited about Nintendo and discuss what about their hardware and software development sets them apart from the rest of the console manufacturers. Buckle up, cowboys. This is a long one.

We hit part 2 of our backpacks series! It is the final part of it! Kaitlyn takes us through her backpack in a really thoughtful way and then Scott just dumps his backpack on the table live on air. What a wild dude.

On this very special episode of BTTT, we dig into people's backpacks to see what they've got floating around in their backpacks! Carter asks the entire crew what they keep in their backpack, and more importantly, why.

Ian and Kaitlyn lay this double whammy of cool topics on us when Ian talks about how labels affect us as humans. Kaitlyn talks about how censorship impacts gay media & connects that to the iconic Anne Hatheway flick, The Princess Diaries.

This week, Kaitlyn and Scott talk about speech software and popular voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. Ian and Carter bring us back to reality with an old time favorite: cast iron cookware and how to maintain it.
