Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, hosted by Brigid & Clint. This is the fourth part of our coverage of The Faith of Beasts, the second novel in the series! This episode is spoilers for the entirety of The Captive's War Universe.

In this episode:

• We get our very first Carryx POV and it is from a trans man. Christopher Nolan has gone too far.
• We check in on Campar and Rickar as they experience the lesbian film Blue is the Hurtiest Color. 
• We get a whole POV from <3 Garral <3 and he is just an incredibly sexy and flirtatious hot scientist and ancient history hobbyist doing his best to give a f*ck me vibe to literally every human in existence.
• Dafyd reluctantly gives Ver Cannadan and Jellit a job. Much to the Swarm's dismay, it's not THAT kind of job.
• Brigid likens the Carryx biology to honeybees and other invertebrates, and makes righteous fun of our new friend Omco.
• Clint breaks down how the Carryx's truly insane communications apparatus is likely the answer to every question we have about them. 
• We relay an incredible series of emails from The Linguist. Trap World Anjiin is TRUE you guys. 

Join us next time when we FINALLY get a POV from our good friend and ally Ekur-Tklal. Follow the Mercy of Pods on social media at themercyofpods, or email us at [email protected]. Logo by Matt Howse. Music is Push The Button by Sid Luscious and the Pants. Read Brigid's stuff here.
