I don't know what to do with the existence of Titivillus the Typo Demon, but this 20-minute podcast about him was fantastic.

(I'm not going to tag this with #good omens fanfiction because it isn't Good Omens fanfiction, but it also isn't not potentially related to Good Omens fanfiction...)

He has recorded four episodes of a podcast about a post-apocalyptic public radio pledge drive besieged by pestilence and death that he can’t quite figure out what to do with.

Two Great Podcasts About Inanimate Objects

I love things, material objects in all their haecceity, or irreducible thingness. I also love how inanimate things can unspool whole histories of entire worlds.

There are two podcasts I've been enjoying that each take things as their focus, but come at them in strikingly different ways. They're each (so far) just six episodes long.

The first, Articles of Interest, is an offshoot of 99 Percent Invisible, the design podcast, hosted/created by Avery Trufelman. Articles of Interest (or AOI) is all about clothing, with episodes on plaid, pockets, denim, Hawaiian shirts, kids' clothes, and punk rock. Each episode digs into the history and social fabric (sorry) of the item(s) in question. From the description to the "Pockets" episode:

Womenswear is littered with fake pockets that don't open, or shallow pockets that can hardly hold more than a paperclip. If women's clothes have pockets at all, they are often and smaller and just fit less than men's pockets do. And when we talk about pockets, we are talking about who has access to the tools they need. Who can walk through the world comfortably and securely.

The other podcast, Everything Is Alive, hosted/created by Ian Chillag, takes the form of fictional interviews with each show's object of choice: a can of cola, a lamppost, a pillow, an elevator, a bar of soap, or a loosened tooth.

INTERVIEWER: What do you imagine an elevator who's working in the tallest building, what do you imagine they feel? ANA (an elevator): Probably tired. I mean, I'm tired after a day of work, and I'm just going to 17. But I see all the other buildings they're making are getting higher and higher.... You know, Frank Lloyd Wright wanted to make a building that was a mile high. INTERVIEWER: A mile?! ANA: Yeah, and it was going to have 76 elevators. And they were going to be nuclear powered. But it never got built. INTERVIEWER: That's... it's terrifying in like, every way. ANA: Yeah. INTERVIEWER: It's too tall. It is powered by the most destructive force man has ever known. ANA: One elevator mishap and that building is gone.... That kind of danger is, like... to be honest, I'm glad it didn't get built. Also, I think a lot of people would be scared to use me. So... everything happens for a reason, and some things don't happen for a reason.

So, if you're looking for a charming podcast that explores history by way of everyday things, you've got multiple good options. To each their own taste.

Everything is Alive, Loveville High, Mixed Mental Arts

Get ready for recommendations and reviews coming at you! Zane brings inanimate objects to live with Everything Is Alive, Liz takes you back to school, musical-style with Loveville High and Patrick gets back to his comedy roots with Mixed Mental Arts. Then the trio reviews their selections from last week.

Liz Recommends - Loveville High

https://www.lovevillehigh.com/

Imagine that your fave 90s teen movies ramped up the camp factor and added a musical score. That's pretty much Loveville High. "LOVEVILLE HIGH is a 9-part musical podcast series! Each ten-minute episode is a self-contained love story in the fictional town of Loveville, Ohio on prom night. New love, old love, romantic love, friend love, gay and straight, cis and genderqueer."

This musical podcast has a book and lyrics by David Zellnick (Yank!) and music by Eric Svejcar (Peter Pan Jr)

For both: This is a serial podcast so start at the start and listen to as many as you wish.

Pat Recommends - Mixed Mental Arts

https://www.mixedmentalarts.online/

Is hosted by comedian, actor, and writer Bryan Callen and Hunter Maats (the other guy). No I kid. Hunter is largely the reason I listened to this podcast. He's a plethora of interesting takes and titbits. This show is on hiatus, and with something new brewing behind the scenes so who knows what format it'll take next. The format it largely stuck to for 300 something episodes was conversations with a range of guests such as authors, comedians, actors, doctors, entrepreneurs, Mixed Martial Arts fighters, journalists, nutritionists, musicians, porn stars and video game developers.

For Zane & Liz: Pick your poison

Zane Recommends - Everything is Alive

https://www.everythingisalive.com/

Zane is finally showing his true colours and bring another improvised comedy podcast to the table! Everything is Alive is an unscripted interview show in which all the subjects are inanimate objects. In each episode, a different thing tells us its life story - and everything it says is true. Produced by NPR veteran Ian Chillag, Everything Is alive has a very serious tone, with very silly subject matter.

For Pat: Pick one that amuses you!

For Liz: Pick one that amuses you!

GUYS.

Guysguysguys.

There is a demon responsible for copying errors, typos, and gossip! Like, historically.

His name is Titivillus.

I cannot stop thinking about if this was one of Crowley's guises, or a minion, or a colleague/competitor ...

He was blamed for the Wicked Bible ("Thou shalt commit adultery") which is real and not made up by Sir Terry! There are little rhymey prayers to ward him off!

Worst yet he collects all your errors as you make them and then they are all waiting for you in Hell!

Fan Art pleeeeeeeez! And maybe Fics too!

This weekend, college basketball rivals will clash in the Final Four. If you want to hear about the actual games, maybe ask Frank Deford. We're more concerned with the eternal battle between the guy shooting the free throw, and the insane fan standing behind the basket trying to distract him. Does it actually work?

Jason Smith of the New York Knicks says yes. Thousands of screaming fans are one thing, he says, but what really gets you is when it's quiet and one voice stands out. In particular, Smith says, he remembers the taunts of Clipper Darrell, who's at every Los Angeles Clippers game, menacing every player taking on his beloved team. We talk to both of them in this episode of How To Do Everything.

At The Free-Throw Line, One Taunt May Be Worth A Thousand Hecklers
