Black and white strip does not match the colour strip. Seems to be for May 25th instead of June 25th.

Depends on the podcast.

If it’s a “review” podcast for a single work (e.g. Parks and Recollection or Harry Potter and the Sacred Texts), I’ll start from the beginning and listen in order. Same with “two dudes talking” podcasts (e.g. Hello Internet or Dear Hank and John).

If it’s a “review” podcast for multiple different works (e.g. The Soundtrack Show), I’ll listen in order but sometimes skip episodes for films and shows I haven’t seen yet but intend to.

If it’s a “news” podcast (e.g. Main Engine Cut Off), I’ll listen to new episodes as they come out, and only rarely dip into the back catalogue.

Beatrice “Beezus” Quimby is Ramona’s elder sister. IIRC, she got her nickname because Ramona had difficulty pronouncing “Beatrice” when she was little.

Not OP, but isn’t Lyra Jyn Erso’s mom?
