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.

What a lovely thing it was to love a podcast for so long and eventually end up co-hosting it. I've been a very lucky girl. Night night Juvenalia, sleep well 🛌🌙

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...

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!

I think bluesky hasn't heard of my bullshit before, but it's Elliott Smith, and I'm back on my bullshit again. I listened to the Elliott Smith episode of the @juvenalia.bsky.social & it made me feel like I'm part of a quiet, far-flung, unorganized superfan club. I fucking love Elliott Smith!
