Why have I been hearing so much about forklifts this week?

Whatever, ignore me. Pay attention to this week's episode instead- covering Feeling Pinkie Keen and Sonic Rainboom. I'm... gonna level with you here, folks. If you were ever wondering what it would be like if God's Not Dead was about ponies, you're about to find out. Our hosts also cover a good episode, I guess.

Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!

What's up, everypony. As we do every two weeks, definitely on Monday and never late, I offer you a new episode of The Friendship Factory's podcast initiative. Is managerial skill the true element of magic? Where...do cutie marks actually come from? Did our hosts have the entire rest of their lives figured out when they were, like, twelve? (No.) Our three heroes pose and mostly do not answer these questions in our coverage of "Winter Wrap-Up" and "Call of the Cutie."

Listen to the episode here or on your podcatcher of choice.

my honest response to any stimuli or information

Also, it's come to my attention that some people at the factory have been calling me "Shadowban, The Evil Tumblr Pony," and can I just say, A. You DON'T have to do all that, and B. Why am I the evil TUMBLR pony? Can't my evil stand on its own merits? Must I be defined entirely by the mark on my flank? What happens to my evil if tumblr bites the dust, huh? I don't want my evil to be platform-dependant. I post evil things on the Bluesky account sometimes!

I know I've called attention to this before, but I would like to reiterate that we live in a society that allows for the circumstance of a filly discovering her cutie mark is the FUCKING TUMBLR LOGO.

This is relevant to nothing upcoming.

Hello, everypony.

Have you ever just really wanted to listen to three podcasters exhaust themselves talking about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's ill-concieved attempt to discuss racism and xenophobia in a kid-friendly manner? No? Me neither. And yet here we are.

This week's episode of The Friendship Factory covers "Bridle Gossip," and I guess "Swarm of the Century," but by the time our hosts actually get to that, they're pretty much over it.

Listen to the episode here, or wherever podcasts are sold.

Can I have a raise yet?

-SB

[thefriendshipfactory]

We forgor. But you know what you shouldn't forger? The next episode of The Friendship Factory, where our hosts cover "Dragonshy" and "Look Before You Sleep." Is it legal to evict a roosting dragon with no prior notice? Should anyone want to hang out with Rarity or Applejack after this? Is Spike's situation, like, okay? Our hosts may or may not answer these riviting questions.

Listen to the episode here or on your podcatcher of choice. Peace out.

Episode three is live and definitely has not been live for a full calendar DAY.

In this episode, listen to the Friendship Factory's three most dubious soldiers cover "Griffon The Brush-Off" and "Boast Busters," unpacking the psychology of Rainbow Dash's evil ex girlfriend, the continued horror of the Everfree Forest, and pointedly not unpacking Theo's shrine to the Great and Powerful Trixie.

Check it out here or on your podcatcher of choice if you want to help your favorite evil tumblr pony rehabilitate her image.

Oh shit did an episode drop yesterday? I've been in this HOLE

Update: after a lengthy meeting with Canter, I am being forced to state for the record that "Pinkie Pie is annoying" is the personal opinion of Shadowban the Evil Tumblr Pony, and not the official stance of The Friendship Factory podcast. I am listening and learning, and Canter assures me that after a long, character-building session digging an Omelas hole, I'll feel much more in line with the Official Stances.

Bite me.

[thefriendshipfactory]

This April Fool's Aftermath, practice gratitude and humble yourself by remembering life could be worse. Pinkie Pie could be your coworker.

-SB

[thefriendshipfactory]

Episode two is now live! This is a great episode that raises fun new questions like "How old are the mane six?" "Should Pinkie Pie's baking license be revoked?" and "What's the deal with cows, actually?"

Questions that definitely need to be asked, I'm sure.

Find the episode live on pinecast, or your podcatcher of choice.

The podcast initiative is live, DESPITE my Boss's neigh-saying. It's almost like I know what I'm doing!

Anyway, The Friendship Factory is now available on Pinecast, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts- click the link here if you don't want me to get fed to the rainbow machine.

THE PODCAST IS READY TO GO. IT LOOKS GREAT. DON'T BELIEVE ANY INFORMATION OTHERWISE.

-SB

[thefriendshipfactory]

Anyway, listen to the damn podcast when it premieres on Monday. I don't care. Whatever.

-SB

Oh, framed photo of Nightmare Moon in my work cubby, we're really in it now.

So I guess Canter is back in action over on our Bluesky account. She's posting some sort of interview with our CEO today, but I'm not doing that because when I asked, Bottom Line said, direct quote:

"Tumblr? I have no interest in rocks or minerals of any kind, and I think polishing anything is morally bankrupt."

Then he refused to elaborate and walked away. So, uh. There you go, kids.

Anyway, remember that the podcast launches on Monday or whatever.
