I can fly.

I care so deeply about possums.

I care so deeply about possums.

I'm Greta Johnson.

I'm Trisha Bobita.

And this is the Nerdette podcast.

This week, we're going to talk a little about Breaking Bad just at the top, so there may be some spoilers ahead.

And we'll also be hearing a little bit from Robin Sloan. He's going to give us some homework. Robin Sloan is the author of one of our favorite books from the last year. Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour bookstore. Thanks for saying that, Greta. I'm always nervous. I'm going to say panumbra wrong. Panumbra. Yeah. So we're going to hear from him. He's going to give us a little homework. And next week you'll hear even more from Robin. We had a great conversation about all things writing and tech. In addition to our main act, which we're really excited about, it's Victoria Schwab, who wrote Vicious. We're also going to do a little superpower voicemail recap.

Because you guys left some pretty awesome messages about the age-old debate.

And by age-old, I mean, it's been a debate since Greta said the weird thing she said on our previous episode, which is I said my superpower of choice would be flight. And she said hers would be keeping baby animals baby. So the debate raged on on our voicemail and on

Facebook. Thanks to everyone who jumped in with an answer. You guys will hear what your peers

had to say about it at the end of the show today. Even if you haven't been watching Breaking Bad,

I'm sure you've been hearing a fair amount about it because it's kind of everywhere right now. So I would just like

to extend my thanks to pretty much everyone on Earth because I have been watching Breaking Bad,

usually on Monday afternoons. Because as you know, Trisha, I like to go to bed really early,

especially on Sunday because I have to wake up at 4 a.m. for this thing called a job. Also, because of the job, I kind of have to be on the internet in the mornings. I need to be on Twitter. I need to know what people are talking about and what's going on in the news world. And I've been really, really impressed with how many people have not spoiled the show for me.

I didn't know a single thing ahead of the finale about the finale. It made me really happy.

I think on a show as good as Breaking Bad, we just didn't want to take that away from each other.

Yeah, I really appreciate it. Though I have to say, Benji Tarshish, I'm a little upset that you tweeted that Flynn died.

We can't all watch things the exact moment they come out, but we still want people to enjoy them later, too.

So it just felt like everybody towed a really nice line with Breaking Bad.

I think there's a statute of limitations on spoilers.
