Thrill to the last episode of the first ‘season’ of Radio Free Riverdale! Co-host / heart of the show / new mother Lucy Cappiello is busy rearing her brand-new child, so the Radio Free Riverdale is going on a brief hiatus following this, our fourteenth episode. But don’t worry – we’ll be back soon! Until then, we’re talking all about the Archie / Josie and the Pussycats crossover (and plenty of Mr. Lodge stories) in Archie Comics Digest #269. Listen up as Lucy and Evan yammer about:

• single tears, visual kissing, and the brief fame of the long-haired lead singers of Extreme
• their vain attempts to fill dead air as they ponder their dream cross-band romances
• Hiram Lodge and his turn to the sinister
• a journey to the centre of Archie Andrews’s mind
• the terror of revolving doors
• Josée and the Pussycat Dolls
• and the ever-present Archie trivia

Thanks for listening through our first season. We’ll be back on the information super-highway airwaves soon!

It's back to your core crew of Archie enthusiasts Lucy and Evan delve into an issue full of Bollywood homages, post-Melissa-Joan-Hart teenage witches, and (for the second time) double-booked dates in Betty and Veronica Double Digest #243. Tune in as your favourite Radio Free Riverdale duo discuss:

• the unsolicited advice and affection pregnant women receive from strangers
• the #thirsty hashtag and whether it exists
• flea markets and magic mirrors
• the modern makeover of Sabrina the Teenage Witch's aunts
• whether Veronica is in any way remarkable
• the mysterious intrigue of the teriyaki potato chip
• and, as ever, Archie trivia (which even Evan is warming up to)

Listen in, and tell them historian Max Hastings sent you!

Lucy and Evan welcome sidesplitting comedian Heather MacDonald on the podcast to rap about the Riverdale gang in the latest episode. Heather hadn’t read an Archie comic since she was about twelve, so it was a real homecoming for her. She helps your stalwart podcast hosts interrogate and elucidate The World of Archie Double Digest #57. Listen in as the Radio Free Riverdale gang chew the fat on:

• Heather’s mom’s suitcase full of Archie digests
• a dystopian future Riverdale where all musicians have been replaced by robots
• Mr. Weatherbee’s studmuffin status
• more rumours and leaks from the upcoming Riverdale television series
• Archie comics’ all-time best cease-and-desists
• mummies, mummies, mummies
• and way more Archie trivia than ever before! (Lucy got really into the trivia this episode.)

The latest episode of Radio Free Riverdale is one of our longer ones, but special guest Heather MacDonald makes it a very funny and insightful one. After listening to the latest episode of Radio Free Riverdale, make sure you run out to the comedy showcase Heather organizes every Tuesday night at Pour Boy Pub, Comedy on College.

Jughead interested in girls? Veronica meaner than a junkyard dog? Non-consensual sewing? A blue Archie movie? Things are all topsy-turvy in the latest episode of Radio Free Riverdale, in which your co-hosts Lucy and Evan separate the comic wheat from the comic chaff of Archie's Funhouse #19. When you listen in, you'll hear us ramble on about:

• Archie Comics 75th anniversary, celebrated with cake
• the social and sexual implications of a Sadie Hawkins dance
• whether Jughead is confident or the most confident
• the hopes and dreams of Mr. Hiram Lodge's staff

• in-depth discussion of the sudden new character of Adam
• Sabrina, the Teenage Witch – finally!
