Cw: suicide reference, racism mention, anti-LGBT policits reference,  Straight out the gate with derailed impure thoughts about Valjean, then it's onto the wedding of a century.

Cw: suicide mention, referenced homophobia Burying gold in forests, shipper's goggles make us sad, and we get obsessed with numbers yet again (p0ur 1 6ut 4 2avert).

Cw: implications of suicide, death,  Hugo starts us off with some equal opportunity foot fetish, the return of a knob, and Javert and Valjean meet again in filthy circumstances. Javert and Valjean have a tense cab ride around town, Marius narrowly escapes becoming the protagonist of a different musical and if an old man can change, then so can other people.

Cw: discussions of sewage, getting lost in the dark, references to suicide, death,  Hugo takes us into the horrors of the sewers, where our smart boy is led by the hand of God.

Cw: sinophobia, discussion of sewage,  We dive into the sewers and for the first time ever, Hugo might be right about science, and also teaches us some new words?? We say the word cloaca about seventy thousand times, the English are respectable, and we find Javert's Inspection Chamber ;) Also, did you know the origin of the word OOZE?

Cw: discussions of death, blood, battle wounds Open your death notes because it's time to catalogue some boy death! Someone is lost in translation, Marius is bloodied and Hugo is epic.

Cw: death mention, discussion of racism/colonialist mentality,  Valjean and Javert explore some bondage together in the alleyway behind the tavern. We delight in this. And then Hugo reminds us that he was indeed a white man from the nineteenth century as he teaches us about protest and colonial power.  This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin.

Cw: descriptions of warfare, gun violence, death, child death, race riots,  Nemo and Stevie boil in their own sweat as the barricade comes under cannon fire.

Cw: description of death, war mention, misogyny This week Hugo predicts the 2024 UK election, the barricade is filled with autistic men who appreciate the engineering of a canon, and Gavroche makes all the boys tremble.

Cw: mention of plane crash, war mention Nemo and Stevie record the first cross-continental episode, we talk about Hugo's hatred of Taylor Swift's lifestyle, lions and phoenixes, and Hugo/Enjolras' hope for a united states of Europe. There's some thinking about politics and then Javert and Enjolras have some kinky times on a table with some rope.   'The worse side, [Enjolras] cannot imagine. He’s part of it already. The blond hair, fair skin and fine profile that Hugo gives him’ adds to ‘his exclusive devotion to a political cause, the charisma he exercises over others more sensible than he is, his gifts for public speaking and for military action and his unshakeable faith in the purifying virtue of violence speak to us now of the kind of men who turned the twentieth century not into utopia but into sheer hell’  David Bellos, The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Misérables.

Cw: death, execution, children dying of starvation, sex work discrimination,   Welcome to season 5, in which there are some new barricade men to ship, which Providence means Nemo has links to them. These barricades are inspired by our main boy barricade, which has some leadership issues. Mods are asleep, alcohol is banned, and some student boys do some pontification before choosing who should leave wearing a uniform. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin and Julian Yap.

Cw: threats to a child, descriptions of gun warfare This episode is mostly about a Sumo!Grantaire AU. If you want to cut straight back to the actual story, it begins at 14:15. Valjean reads a letter and struggles with the overwhelming desire to murder Marius (mood) before getting dressed and heading out. The little King of the Barricades shows us how it’s done and takes us to the end of the fourth of five parts. We talk about the remastered 2012 film, have a retrospective about what we’ve come across in this Part so far, and come up with about 76 AUs.  Bob the Builder Mambo no. 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjERnmcjbAE  Who’s Your Favourite Character poll: https://www.tumblr.com/oldbooksandnewmusic/742924029768400896    This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin and Julian Yap.

Cw: death, references to incest and implied pedophilia,  Eponine becomes a mermaid, cursed Marriage AUs, and the most heroic child (and secret leader of the barricade) goes on a mission.

Cw: police brutality, description of injury, death, suicidal ideation, disassociation, warfare, emotional manipulation in a relationship,  We build the WORLD’S STRONGEST AU to start this (unfortunate rerecord episode). The barricades are up and (surprise!) we’re already facing death. Enjolras shows us what leadership means to him, Hugo has a lot of hope for the future (yikes), and Marius tests our patience as he goes to find his death. WHO-HOO! EEEE!!
