Episode 54 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released! Merry Christmas!
Tonight, Dethryl and Ryan sit down with Marcus Cole’s biggest fangirl to discuss the absolute awesomeness that is season four, in its entirety. PS hated the show and has stopped watching, but that doesn’t stop her from wanting to know how it ends. We make her stick around and get the gradual revelation in a very Poufwanian fashion. Who knows what she thinks happened? Could be anything. The whole point is to tempt her into watching season five, which Dethryl predicts will make her start squeezing. Who’da’thunk?
We haven’t recorded in awhile and don’t remember how to start the call. Not having chatted for several months, we take a few minutes to discuss Where Are They Now? Ryan named his cat after Chuck. Dethryl is planning Castle and yet more Firefly. We discuss the Hunger Games movie trailer and that long-rumoured Poufwa Exchange episode on the series.
Startling revelations:
* Season 5 of B5 is awful, and we will tell you why and how it affected season 4.
* Dethryl stands up for Harmonians everywhere. Those who think he’s delusional can get stuffed. His words, not mine!

Episode 53 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Tonight, Dethryl and Jen2 sit down for a follow-up to ASOIAF book five, A Dance With Dragons. We spoil absolutely everything, so consider yourself notified. Jen2 cackles with glee when she discovers that tonight is all for her, and she does her best Ryan impersonation for the next two hours. Deth is on Vitamin B overdose, and we get a Moment In Science. Valid points and cheap laughs are in equal proportions.
Startling revelations:
* Ryan and Danielle are now responsible for another life. Mazel tov!
* Daario’s magic penis and electric horse will save the day.
* The secret identity of Coldhands!
* Jen2 is a mysogynistic bastard.
Coming Soon in Season Three (This Does Not Constitute A Promise Or Obligation):

Episode 52 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Tonight, our hosts reconvene their coverage of ASOIAF and are jumping directly to the newly-released fifth book, A Dance With Dragons. We spoil absolutely everything, so consider yourself notified. Our hosts are of divided opinion and the expelitives are flying fast and furious. We are an explicit podcast, but tonight we really earn it. We’ve got our dander up, so we’re very on-topic.
Startling revelations:
* All of the hosts have at one point been the Lord of Harrenhal.
* Bran is Voldemort. Harry is Hodor.
* Here a warg, there a warg, everywhere a warg-warg!
* If Dany is infertile, and if Jon is Rhaegar’s legitimate son, then to have further Targaeryns must involve mpreg with Aegon.
* Dethryl, Aaron, and PS will be the three dragonriders.
We are planning episodes devoted to Doctor Who, Castle, The 4400, The Hunger Games, Monty Python, Cowboy Bebop, The Walking Dead and more, featuring different groups led by the regular hosts with guest appearances from interested Poufwanians. Go to Potterficforum.com to sign up!

Episode 51 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Please forgive the lateness of this episode. I have a Poufwanian cat.
In tonight’s extreme and barely edited edition of our podcast, we return to the Ryan and Other Jen show! Jen2 and I offer our thoughts on the first two episodes of The Walking Dead‘s second season, A New Day and Family Matters.
While AMC offers The Talking Dead and well-researched and considered analysis, we opt for the Poufwanian approach: We may not know all their names, but we do have opinions!

Episode 50 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Tonight, Dethryl is again in the driver’s seat with PS as the navigator. PFW hosts Scott and Kat are backseat driving. Bob is alone in the trunk, Rosie having managed to escape- er, get away- er, Rosie can’t make it tonight. We have a thorough discussion of shipping. Too thorough, some might say, but typical on-topic Poufwanian discussion. We do talk about Firefly a little bit in between Stargate, Dr. Who, Castle, and Harry Potter. We start plotting a crossover fic. Scarily enough, it actually has a somewhat plausible plot. Magic in Firefly! Evil Hogwarts Academy! River is a witch, might we burn her? Flan. Firefly flan. You’ll just have to listen.
Startling revelations:
* Portkeys need to marinate for an hour before use.
* Centrefolds in Hogwarts: A History
Coming Soon in Season Three (This Does Not Constitute A Promise Or Obligation):
* Dr. Who
* Castle
* Monty Python
* Cowboy Bebop
* The Walking Dead
Happy listening!

Episode 49 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Before we return to Firefly in Episode 50, Jen, Danielle and I offer our thoughts on Doctor Who’s The God Complex!
The TARDIS arrives at a hotel of ever-changing rooms where each guest must face their greatest fear.
Efforts to make each episode of Doctor Who a bit stranger than the one before continue this week, merging the bizarre nature of the forgettable Night Terrors with the memorable character moments of last week’s The Girl Who Waited. The French stop by, but without Dethryl, nobody gets it, and I offer my conclusive thoughts on the character of Amelia Pond.
Happy listening! Next up, Firefly…for real!

Episode 48 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Tonight, Poufwa Exchange offers you a middle-of-the-night recording of the Ryan and Jen show! We cap off (or crap off, if my autocorrect gets a vote) coverage of Torchwood: Miracle Day, discussing the episodes Immortal Sins, End of the Road, The Gathering, and The Blood Line, right after we offer our thoughts on Doctor Who 6.5 episodes Let’s Kill Hitler, Night Terrors and The Girl Who Waited.
In place of the sex quiz we normally take to spice up our recording, moments before the recording of this episode, I adopted two cats. These are the only pets I have ever owned besides Alex the Turtle, who died when I was eight of mysterious circumstances three days after I got him, and those hungry office fish I bought before remembering about three day weekends and inclement weather work cancelation days. And since I’m anal, I decided to stick them in the room with me during the podcast.
You’re welcome.
Happy listening! Next up, Firefly!

Episode 47 of the Poufwa Exchange, our third season premiere, has been released! Please share in my shock that Episode 47 has nothing to do with Star Trek!
Welcome to the new and improved Poufwa Exchange. Tonight we kick off season three by finally discussing Firefly, something we’ve promised to do since season one. We have restructured the format of the podcast, moving to a more de-centralized model, and upcoming episodes will feature different groups led by the regular hosts with guest appearances from interested Poufwanians. Go to Potterficforum.com to sign up!
Tonight, Dethryl is in the driver’s seat with PS as the navigator. PFW hosts Scarlett, Scott, and Kat are backseat driving. Rosie and Bob are in the trunk and may be snogging. Kathryn joins us late and has to ride on the roof. We wind up all over the map in true Poufwanian tradition. Dethryl is attacked on-air by an excitable puppy, and the Daleks are invading all over the place. Kat tells us about being the Captain of her Muggle ground Quidditch team, and we instantly jump to Naked Quidditch Match. Dethryl is required to monologue and instantly forgives Ryan for everything. The hosts attempt to speak Chinese and to sing — not at the same time, thankfully. Kat has a thing-thing for Mark Sheppard, PS knows all them book-book words, and Dethryl loves everything.
Startling revelations:
* Jayne Cobb is more bad-ass than Ron Weasley in a goofy hat.
* Simon is a criminal mastermind thanks to the power of hair gel.
* Vera is sensitive to romantic vibes.
* Physics is somewhat accurate.
Coming Soon in Season Three (This Does Not Constitute A Promise Or Obligation):
* Doctor Who
* Castle
* The 4400
* Monty Python
* Cowboy Bebop
* Torchwood
Happy listening!

Episode 46 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Tonight, Poufwa offers a dual-length episode nine months in the making!
Back in January, when I was watching Torchwood’s second season for the first time and eager to talk about it, we recorded a discussion that morphed from Torchwood to Firefly to Doctor Who’s recently completed fifth season and our predictions for its sixth. It’s a great lost episode where we can revisit past impressions, seeing who guessed what and discover forgotten theories that may still come true! The point of the Poufwa Exchange is to live the experience again vicariously through someone else, but this is a fun chance to revisit it ourselves!
My, how deep of me.
This first section contains spoilers for all episodes through Torchwood Season 2′s Adam and Doctor Who’s fifth season finale, The Big Bang, or at least that’s the case after heavy editing. Jen otherwise couldn’t help herself.
Around the 2 hour 30 minute mark, we offer our second podcast of the evening, a recently recorded Poufwa double-date! Jen and I bring James and Danielle along for a carefully planned, itinerary-powered, 25-part discussion of Doctor Who Season 6.0 and our predictions for Season 6.5, debuting tomorrow night! It would have made Robert from SpellCast proud if we actually pulled it off. Alas, Poufwa.
In case I haven’t grabbed you sufficiently yet, this episode also includes my remotely accessing Jen’s computer in search of her smut collection!
Poufwa will be back early next week, hurricane depending, to discuss the season premiere of Doctor Who and the next two episodes of Torchwood. Later in the week, we debut our third season, with coverage of Firefly!
Happy listening!

Episode 45 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
After much delay, we return to Babylon 5 space, capping off discussion of its third season with analysis of the episodes Walkabout through the literal cliffhanger Z’ha’dum!
It’s a great podcast. I even bring the wife!
This episode contains discussion of that Bucket woman, the shipping of PS and Aaron without a side of Robert from SpellCast, the shipping of Danielle and Marcus without a side of Ryan, new perspectives on fanny packs, the mystery something in Deth’s dog’s mouth that frightens him but thrills Mrs. Deth, my hat rack, the PS-GPS, and the giant mattress at the bottom of the hole.
Poufwa Exchange will return to Babylon 5 in a few weeks with discussion of Season 4 – all in one sitting! We will undoubtedly fail, but all of Season 4 will be up for grabs the next time we return.
For those planning ahead, we’ll return in a few days with a dual-length episode mainly covering Doctor Who and Torchwood. It will contain a historical conversion (i.e. Ryan is the slowest editor on planet Earth…) with my real-time thoughts watching Doctor Who Season 5 and Torchwood Season 2 for the first time. We’ll then jump ahead to our recent thoughts on Season 6.0 of Doctor Who and our theories of what will happen in next week’s Season 6.5 premiere.
If I haven’t coaxed enough Doctor Who fans to tune in, allow me to appeal to your inner-Poufwanian: I hack into Jen’s computer and you won’t believe what I find on her desktop!
You can also expect in the weeks ahead next-day podcast analysis of newly aired Torchwood and Doctor Who episodes along with historical discussion of older episodes of Doctor Who. We’re also ready to hit the release button on a two-part series on Firefly, a series on The Hunger Games, and our return to A Song of Ice and Fire.
Keep listening!
