@juvenalia
Juvenalia is a pop culture podcast where a guest joins Alan Maguire, Sarah Maria Griffin, and Andrea Cleary to talk about a piece of pop culture that they were obsessed with when they were young. It’s good, you’ll like it. Artwork: @deevseverything
Juvenalia was the convergence of all the sound Irish Twitter heads. End of an era. Will there ever be a palace where you could go from an episode about Bosco to Buffy to Hellraiser and back again? Only time will tell.
We have An Announcement: we’ve decided to end Juvenalia. There’s a larger statement over on insta but we just want to say thanks to everybody that’s supported the podcast over the last (almost) ten years www.instagram.com/p/DOGOz4eDDl...

friends. i have heard word that the @kennysbookshop.bsky.social edition of eat the ones you love is very close to sold out. if you would like this beautiful edition of a horrible book, now would be a gorge time to do us a solid and pick it up (for less than the price of an espresso martini)
If you’ve been missing @griffski.bsky.social on Juvenalia, she’s at her very best on the new episode of @itysrpod.bsky.social !!
boston i am on the back of the great steel horse that is the amtrak and i am like so many irish before me coming to your town. please come listen to me & @paultremblay.bsky.social talk about scary business!!
I read Northern Lights for the first time and I loved it! Can’t believe this book didn’t make its way to me until now even though I was the exact right age for it when it came out
The first episode of the Juvenalia Book Club is out now! Sprinkled amongst our regular episodes this year, we’ll be introducing each other to books we think the other will like. First up, Philip Pullman’s Northern Lights, the first book of the His Dark Materials series. Join us!
Juvenalia never fails to make me light up like I'm having a really interesting conversation with a pal! I absolutely wrote a presentation about the Alien franchise as trans allegory in college (mostly focusing on body horror and dysphoria).
This episode was recorded before the passing of Pope Francis. We don’t mention the pope or any religion at all actually in the episode, it’s just a fun fact!
Sarah’s book is out in America! If you’re American or live in America or are on holidays there or whatever, you should get it!
