Ghibli Minute

The ohmu gives us a chance to review molting. The Tolmekian air ships give us a chance to talk about codes and character input.

We talk about curfew,  more geography, and insect wings as the ushiabu flies home. Cheryl doubts whether the ohmu is alive.

We talk about insect ears and lobes, but not earlobes.

Entomologist Cheryl Heinz joins us this week for an in-depth discussion of Ushiabu anatomy.

The fire is so intense. Nausicaa meets a new friend. Reactions can be powerful.

Nausicaa's warnings can't stop the Tolmekian ship, swarming with ground bugs, from crashing.

A Tolmekian ship appears out of the darkness.

We catalog the contents of Nausicaa's bedroom, and join the old men standing watch.

Prophecy week kicks off with discussion of facial hair requirements, levels of fate, and other adult stuff. Guest Jack Stovold from Reopening the Wormhole solves the mystery of the windmills.

The germ theory of disease, wedding plans, relative titles, and prophecies.
