Silly "Sticky String" causes a breakdown in the Gooery in this week's season 1 episode 10. Join us as we shine an actor spotlight on the prolific Mark Sheppard, and share brand NEW audio insight from our interview with Jack Kenny -- who describes his vision of the Regents and the battle he fought with the network to represent them as everyday people. Our artifact expert is Ana Quiring, a literary scholar from Washington University in St Louis, who helps us understand the life and legacy of Sylvia Plath.

This week, Pete and Claudia head to high school English class for a very literary episode, "Nevermore." In addition to the Goth Man himself, we discuss Hemingway, Byron, Blake, Plath, the Peanuts cartoons, and more. Our artifact expert for the week is C.C. Rae, a literature lover, educator, and author of young adult fiction who studied at the University of Arizona. We have some great deleted scenes from this episode available online for our Patreon supporters, and more info available to everyone in our show notes.

It's the first half of the season one finale, and wow! there's a lot to discuss. In episode 101A, we talk everything from "tool and die" to Vestal Virgins as MacPherson leads Pete, Myka, and Artie on a dangerous chase. Plus, special shout-out to friend of the show and writer of WH13 Benjamin Raab, for offering a few corrections and behind-the-scenes info.

In the second half of the season 1 finale, our team finally confronts MacPherson -- and everyone is not who they seem. Our artifact expert for the week, Dr. Kaye Whitehead, helps us learn more about Harriet Tubman's thimble, and her legacy in American history.

We're back! (If you're listening in the future, our ClexaCon announcement ends at minute 00:06:15.) This was a very cathartic episode for us, since Jill and I have both been dealing with some health issues over the past month. But finally, we got this episode out and are thrilled to share the love and positivity with all of you! Grab a bowl of popcorn, and join us for a discussion of WOC representation, the crossover between Jewish-American history and the 1960 film classic Spartacus, and a spotlight on the marvelous Colombian-American actress Paula Garcés (Dr. Kelly Hernandez). We've also dropped a ton of deleted scenes from our podcast recording on our Patreon page.

As you may remember, we said on our Patreon page that once we got enough funding to pay for our website hosting fees, we would start posting complete uncut Artifact Expert Interviews on our website. We've officially hit our first goal -- THANK YOU so much! :) :) We're not going to put every interview on our actual podcast feed, but you should start to see downloadable mp3s from all of our previous episodes' historians start showing up on a new tab on our website over the next several months. To kick this off, I wanted to begin with this uncut recording of Jillian's description of the Hollywood Blacklist, and the way that Spartacus as a film ties to the history of the Jewish-American community. Enjoy!

In our discussion of "13.1," we consult 19th-century media historian Dr. Amanda Shubert (University of Chicago) for insight into Max Wertheimer's zoetrope. We are also very excited to discuss the crossover between Warehouse 13 and Syfy's Eureka, featuring Douglas Fargo! Our actor's spotlight is bittersweet, as we celebrate the life and work of the late René Auberjonois, who plays Hugo. Huge thank you to our Patrons for covering our hosting fees even during our hiatus; we've also recently revamped our website and are in the process of bringing you lots of bonus content to show our appreciation :)
