Episode 44 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
For our favorite episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day yet, Jen and I have remarkably fewer bullet points for you as we discuss the sixth episode of the season, The Middle Men. You’ll just have to listen!
With Gwen, Rex and Esther trapped on both sides of the Atlantic, it’s a race against time as Jack goes straight to the heart of the conspiracy
I’m not sure how they got “trapped” there. Gwen seems like she has full use of her frequent flyer miles!
In this middle-of-the-night recording, Jen lays on the table her considered-in-detail theory of the plot behind the Miracle. Please, no drinking. We realize exactly how far Rex has fallen since he met up with Torchwood, and to be frank, there’s an uncomfortable amount of omni-poking!
Happy listening!

Episode 43 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
This title has been shortened to not give away a classic Jen Classic line that is likely already available via Twitter.
Tonight, in preparation for our third season in a few weeks, Jen Classic and I offer a rundown of other fandoms we’re hooked on at the moment, including shocking revelations about how Jen spends her time and money!
Getting to it, we offer our thoughts in reviewing Torchwood: Miracle Day’s much improved fourth and fifth episodes, Escape to LA and The Categories of Life.
The fight against PhiCorp takes the Torchwood team to California, where a trap is waiting. Meanwhile, Oswald, and Jilly find themselves with an enemy of their own.
After going undercover, the unit learns what is really going on with the Miracle. And as the enemy draws nearer, mortality is about to make a comeback in a most unnerving way.
In this episode, we discuss:
Falling Skies; that which shall not be named; Star Trek fan fiction that costs $12; my thoughts on naked men; Jen’s entirely different thoughts on naked men; our exactly-the-same thoughts on the beautiful woman that is Eve Myles; who the hell Mare Winningham is; Deep Impact versus Fifth Element; why everything is better in California despite its crushing debt; Jen Classic: Fashion Editor; Jack Harkness as a lead character versus an ensemble character versus quite the gay character; I insult southerners; skype security; Torchwood’s mortifying iphone apps; Jilly’s Orwell-incuded testicles; Chuck and why every Firefly fan who’s always wanted to see Jayne huck a microwave at someone’s head from 130 feet should watch it; Tangled; Major Kira’s footwear; the Ash Theory; Jen’s thoughts on government that breaks me, and the rest…
Doctor Who fans – don’t forget to check out Jen’s recommendation of The Chaosverse!
Happy listening!

Episode 42 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Tonight’s podcast concludes our second season coverage of A Game of Thrones, by George Martin! Near fear – Poufwa Exchange will swing by the universe early next season. The coverage gets so good that Dethryl issues a mustache-trimming moratorium to help deal with the enthusiasm!
This episode boasts character discussion of Sansa, Arya, and Jon.
*Old Nan is secretly one of the Others.
*Dethryl revisits Sansa-gate, circles the lot once and arrives back where he started.
*Poufwa Exchange supports the Second Amendment, as well as the third, sixth, the tenth on Sundays, the sixteenth when we want to pay for the Moon Landing, and we generally flip coins on the eighteen and twenty-first.
*Jen2 slays Dethryl. Laughter warning for 42 minutes. Avoid gas stations!
*Snape is a Homefries Nazi. Like with soup.
*Aaron shares his dinner, Saul’s on the wall, and the hosts start to hit on each other. I smell sweeps week!
If you’re confused by the Christmas talk, this episode recorded in December. We won’t tell you which year!

Episode 41 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Our runner-up title was Innocent Shoes and I Meant Sperm Just There, just in case you had to know.
Tonight, or should I say this morning – Jen Classic and I return to discuss Torchwood: Miracle Day’s third episode, Dead of Night! This episode contains spoilers for previous seasons of Torchwood and up through the Season 6.0 finale of Doctor Who: A Good Man Goes To War.
Torchwood goes on the run and finds a new enemy, but as they launch a raid on PhiCorp headquarters, Jack must confront the mysterious Oswald Danes.
Next week, Jen Classic is going on vacation to Yellowstone. I am not kidding! We’ll catch up on the next two episodes in two weeks!
Happy listening! It’s a good one!

Episode 40 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Tonight, Poufwa continues covering Season 3 of Babylon 5, picking up from the post-revolutionary Ceremonies of Light and Dark through the arc-heavy War Without End, Part II!
In this episode, PS shoots David Corwin in the nuts, disappointing his mother. Thing are very creepy, Dethryl becomes very upset over dresses and can’t substract, I go off on the in-laws and am amused by carrots, angry Kathryn’s mute button is perfectly useless, and post-Robert Aaron and Herbie have a very nice time.
Dig in with me. Now, Babylon 5, Season 3. Soon, Babylon 5, Season 4. Now, Poufwa, Season 2. Soon, Poufwa, Season 3. Ready? Okay.
Our next Babylon 5 episode will cap off the Babylon 5′s third season. In Poufwa Season 3, beginning in a few weeks, we will return to Babylon 5, covering its fourth season as a whole in one of our first episodes back. We’ll talk about this fantastic season until our voices cut out, but if you’re following along with us (and taking mini-vacations between podcasts), it’s soon time for a marathon.
And stay tune for Poufwa Exchange’s final batch episode on A Song of Ice and Fire and also coverage of Firefly, Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Walking Dead, Castle and The Hunger Games!
Happy listening!

Stop laughing. We mean it!
In this podcast, Jen and I have a spat over the household budget, the cable bill, how best to attire the child before going outdoors, the size of Jack Harkness, the size of Bill Pullman, an annoying habit shared by Gwen Cooper and Minerva McGonagall, and Jen shares what she thought the Poufwa podcasts have been up to all this time!

Episode 37 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Welcome back to A Game of Thrones, by George Martin!
This episode boasts character discussion of Ed and Cate…on paper.
Tonight’s podcast features the return of Sansa-Gate. Allow yourself a moment to digest. In a shocking plot twist, PS, notorious bleeding heart still reeling from the discovery of World of Warcraft, has no love for an eight year old boy who gets thrown out a window! Richard may call Deth an arsehole, and Deth may call PS a bitch, but at least we can agree that Cersei is EVIL!! Golden Props to Mike for starting most of us on this book!
GRRM needs to stop boozing and whoring and write the next book, dammit! My, that was harsh. Joffrey is a little bitch-boy. Harsher. The new Google image search sucks, Omly relates the resurgence of maggots in modern medicine. At the mention of maggots, my inner eight year old girl returns.
Lastly, a public service announcement: If Aaron tried being gay, he might like it.

Episode 36 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
With the release of this episode, the Babylon 5 universe has lost another voice. Jeff Conaway has joined Andreas Katsulas, Richard Biggs, and Tim Choate beyond the Rim, and it is only fitting that tonight’s episodes so heavily showcase the character of Zack Allen.
Tonight, Poufwa jumps into Season 3, discussing Matters of Honor through Severed Dreams! The series arc kicks into prominent gear with these episodes, concluding in an unofficial three-parter that changes the series forever.
It’s quite the podcast! We finally manage to get Aaron’s microphone sensitivity to a reasonable level. Really. Kind of. A widdle. Speaking of widdle, Delenn stops by. Londo and G’Kar get trapped in an elevator. Think B5 jumped the shark? Slap yourself. There’s hilarity! I am a scared little girl when confronted by danger, or whenever it’s time to empty the trash. Vorlons are boob….not boob men. Vorlons are boob refrigerators.
Zima has a modern website. If you find it, tell me about it. The Macintosh System apparently is a lightweight.
Happy listening!

Episode 35 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
In tonight’s podcast:
* Poufwa resumes discussion of A Song of Ice and Fire and does that thing where you’re driving an RV and excuse yourself to get a steaming cup of coffee and perhaps a donut from the back and then realize you were in charge of steering the damn thing and the cruise control is on and even though death is imminent you still find a place to carefully set down the coffee because you don’t want it to splash or anything, and all of a sudden this is a World of WarCraft podcast where PS is holding the WoW manual upside down and squinting and Jen2 looks half her age and is doing a Moaning Myrtle impression talking about killing and death while still forgetting to record the last The Walking Dead podcast with me…
* and something about a Stallion Mounting the World and hot pie.
This episode delves into the characters of Dany, Sansa, and Eddard. Because it’s fun and chapter-by-chapter got locked in the trunk.
