Not for the last time we’re asking why death should get in the way of love at first sight. Dive into the dreamy work of the monarch butterfly and prepare to fall in love too.

We don’t know how to describe this one besides to say, “imagine if Downton Abbey was absurdist and super aware of the owner class.” This show come to us from the fringe part of the BBC where they make things that can’t be shown within 300 miles of the Queen. It’s a weird thing to use their TV tax money on but not the weirdest by a long shot.

The Showtime Podcast Network has, at best, a tenuous relationship with reality and this month’s cavalcade of cryptids is a testament to our ability to get the best content available even from hosts and presenters who would otherwise be hesitant to release their content outside of blurry podcatchers and the overactive imaginations of people who did see something at some point.

Lesser to none brings you the viewpoints of some one the mascots of childhood delusion and this month is no different as the Easter Bunny welcomes the Tooth Fairy into the magical studio where they can finally let it all out and really say how things are in the magical realms these days.

Have you ever had one of those dreams where everything is going super well and you’re pretty sure it’s lulling you into a false sense of security. You can smell cookies, someone you like is there and they don’t have any hard questions about taxes, GME stock or the Premier League. The dream takes place in a nice place where you feel good and don’t have persistent shame-filled memories to associate with. Then someone comes out from around the corner but surprise, it’s a puppy. This is kinda’ like that.

At midnight tonight everything gets better. We all know that, of course. 2021 is when the plague magically disappears, the murder hornets are revealed to be a mistake from someone accidentally having the zoom too high on their smartphone and we can all laugh that concerns about the Roomba uprising are a thing of the past. Here are two segments from Snowstice to observe and celebrate the year we had.

It’s a contentious world out there and no doubt about it. This time of year, the capacity for nonsense to distract from hard earned shananiganry and pastimestance is high. The Sparkle Funtime Network has partnered with the Showtime Podcast Nwetwork to bring this insightful discussion based program to your banal world in hopes that the sprit of the season can be appreciated by all right thinking elves and other less magical persons.

Do you want something with no real world consequence to argue about online? We certainly did. So, the Showtime Podcast Network secured a new show to help facilitate knock down, drag out grudge matches that are inherently meaningless. Doesn’t that sound like a better use for your vitriol than screaming at Aunt Bridgette about the news of the day?

There comes a time in every day when you just need to release your stress into the void. Now there are “experts” who will tell you that the best way to do this is in a productive manner. Letting it all out into kneading dough, doing exercise or something like that is probably what they had in mind. Mary, Sue and Linda may have taken it in a less legally advisable direction.

We’ve been on a bit of a realty show kick lately and what can we say? Sometimes everyone needs a break from the real world and to immerse in something fantastical. You can lose yourself in something that would never happen. If there’s a way to add a veneer of plausibility to that escapism, more the better. So, if you’ve run out of iterations of other reality dating shows to watch, we have some good news for you!
