Hello! We've got another special treat for y'all. On today's episode we're talking to the one and only Nic Chatree Sridej! In addition to working on shows like American Gods and Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender, he wrote episode 1x08 "Hang On to Your Life" of The Winchesters. Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts to hear the full interview!
Hi, everybody. Much like the writers of this show we love so much, we are human and despite our good intentions, we sometimes mess up. This is to say that we realized we messed up while recording the 'Plot or Not' episode and are re-releasing it with a couple of edits and an intro apologizing for 1.) the use of the name of episode 1x02 of Supernatural, and 2.) not calling it out when we heard it.
For those who aren’t aware, the name of 1x02 is an evil spirit that originated with the Algonquin tribe and spread to different tribes of Anishinaabe culture. Traditionally, the name isn’t spoken by members of these indigenous groups or otherwise. Because it’s an evil spirit, members of these indigenous tribes don’t want to call its attention or incur its wrath. As white hosts, it’s our responsibility to be respectful of other cultures’ and races’ traditions, especially when it comes to the ways this franchise has disrespected them in the past, and we failed at that while recording. We will strive to do better going forward, and will also be linking some helpful resources in this episode description if you would like to learn more.
Thank you so much for listening to this podcast. We hope that you continue to follow along with us and this show, and we also hope that if you ever hear us say or do something that rubs you the wrong way or that is disrespectful, please feel free to call us in by messaging us on any of our social media platforms. The last thing we want is to alienate any listeners; our goal will always be to make this an inclusive space for everyone, which means acknowledging when we make mistakes and pledging to do better going forward.
