Sometimes we read stuff, and analyze what we’re reading as we go, a few chapters at a time.
We Want MoR
This is a podcast in the style of We’ve Got Worm from Doof Media (formerly The Daly Planet). In this show, Steven Zuber plays the role of the seasoned scholar of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality who leads first-time reader Brian Deacon through the story. See Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality for more information on the world’s most popular Harry Potter fan fiction.

Not Everything Is A Clue
This is a podcast in the style of We’ve Got Worm from Doof Media. We analyze Alexander Wales’s novel “Worth the Candle.” In this show, Eneasz Brodski plays the role of the grizzled veteran with all his skill points in Having Read “Worth The Candle”, while Steven Zuber plays the role of newbie trying to figure out how synergy bonuses work. You can support this podcast at our Patreon. Worth the Candle can be read at AO3 or RoyalRoad. Alexander Wales can be supported at his Patreon. We have a Discord as well.

It Makes Sense If You Understand Decision Theory
We analyze the GlowFic commonly known as “Planecrash” or “Project Lawful,” written by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Lintamande. Both our hosts have woken up in a world that contains this GlowFic, but they have no knowledge of it, for maximum chaos! You can support this podcast at our Patreon. We have a Discord as well.
