Dr_Fumbles_McStupid's PodficMarvel 616 - Bizarre Love TrianglePodfic of Bizarre Love Triangle by panickyintheuk.
Rating: Teen and up
Warnings: None Apply
Pairing: Steve/Tony
Summary: Once the idea was in his head, he’d started picking up on all kinds of things, like the way Stark talked about Iron Man with such affection, and seemed to share so many of his mannerisms, and was constantly working on ways of improving the suit. It was obvious.

Panicky Pictures"I'll die before I turn senile": celebrating Bob Dylan at 80Happy birthday to the great Bob Dylan! This took forever to upload so it's going out a bit later than planned, but I still managed to get it out on the 24th. Title quote is from 'Cry a While', off '"Love and Theft"'. In this episode I give you a few quick recommendations of Dylan and Dylan-adjacent movies, plus some stuff that's been on the radio here in the UK. I forgot to mention it in the ep, but the Big Issue also made an 80-song playlist which is on Spotify, and that's worth checking out too.
