Simple and Clean: A Kingdom Hearts Podcast: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Multitude
Join hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) to talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings. We attempt to unravel how this deceptively expansive game series has touched an entire generation of deeply earnest weirdos - and along the way, we may realize that what we’re talking about might not be just a video game, but a whole lot more. Never heard of Kingdom Hearts? That’s okay! We’re here to break it down for you, explain why we love it, and hopefully to convince you that this weird little story deserves a place in your heart. Join us as we discuss the plot, characters, world building, music, fashion, fanbase, and societal impact of a thing that by all means, probably shouldn’t even exist.

What are Items & Synthesis?
Consider items: They are things! Useful tools & upgrades are a video game staple, and in our quest to 100%-completely explain the Kingdom Hearts series, we’ll go through them all. Where do potions come from? What are our most memorable Key Items in games? Why does Kingdom Hearts 3 get TWO crafting systems? And how can a keyblade design be sexy? We’ll throw the answers to all of these questions and more into a recipe, and hopefully synthesize some kind of coherent episode.Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

Who is King Mickey?
Who’s the Monarch of the Realm who wields Kingdom Key D? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! As is only befitting his station, King Mickey is a central player in the KH mythos. From humble beginnings, only being allowed to appear in a single moment in the first Kingdom Hearts game, we find Mickey at the center of every major conflict in the series, along the way passing on hard-won knowledge and wisdom to a new generation of Keyblade wielders. But with an air of such gravity and consequence, we may have to ask ourselves: is King Mickey the same character as the fun-loving & plucky Mickey Mouse we’ve known all along? Or is it true what they say: heavy hangs the head that wears the crown?Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

Where is 100 Acre Wood?
Come frolic with us through the 100 Acre Wood, Kingdom Hearts’ safe haven world! It’s the only world where the Heartless never appear, and it’s a delight to Sora whenever he can find the time to return here for some chill minigames (provided you find the Torn Pages, and don't accidentally skip over them). But as the series matures more and more, the bright pastels and simple nature of Winnie the Pooh’s adventures seem more and more out of place. Is there still room along Sora’s increasingly-bitter journey for a little smackerel of sweetness?Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

What Happens in Kingdom Hearts Coded (2008-2010)?
Is there really a lore-critical Kingdom Hearts game that was only available on mobile phones exclusively in Japan? Sort of! Today we’re covering the plot of Kingdom Hearts Coded, the often-neglected entry to the franchise that follows Mickey and a data copy of Sora as they attempt to debug Jiminy’s Journal, recover what was lost there when Naminé messed with it, and uncover the meaning of the mysterious messages left inside. It asks important questions like: Are the friendships we make in simulated space real? How do we handle the burden of pain that may not be ours, but is ours to carry? And do we really need to re-hash the KH1 worlds again - not just once, but twice?Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

Where is Halloween Town? with Bex Taylor-Klaus
Our good friend, collaborator & divine enigma Bex Taylor-Klaus drops by, despite never having played a Kingdom Hearts game before, to talk all about their favorite Disney movie: The Nightmare Before Christmas! The inclusion of this cult-classic holiday fairy tale, a favorite of alternative 90s kids everywhere, brings nuance and depth to its handful of appearances in Kingdom Hearts. And that’s not to mention some of the best looks in the series, from Sora’s goth Santa outfit to that time Oogie-Boogie turned into, like, a weird tree thing. But can we make any of this appealing to a newcomer to the series in real time? If we can get Bex into Kingdom Hearts, Halloween Town is the way in - so tune in to find out!Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Guest: Bex Taylor-Klaus- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

So, How 'Bout That Kingdom Hearts 4 Trailer? (News & Rumors #2)
There’s a brand new trailer out for Kingdom Hearts 4! Four years since our last look at any new footage, there’s finally something new for all of us to obsess over. And wow, what a trailer it was - with plenty of juicy story details, our first solid look at the combat systems, and reveals of characters new & old (and some that are somehow both?). Who are all of these people? We’ll pore over every frame and bring you as much context as we can. Get hype, everybody: there’s life in this franchise yet!Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

What is Data?
Take a drive with us along the Information Super-Highway - today we’re talking all about Data! In addition to everything else it’s doing, Kingdom Hearts also has full-on Matrix-style simulations. Those simulations are pretty useful for hiding secrets - like people you don’t want to be found, or secret malevolent forces you’d throw away the rest of the universe to contain. Could one of those secrets be the true tie between the realms of Reality and Fiction? Could Data hold the key to tying the Kingdom Hearts world to our real actual world? If Data is real and also not real, what does it even mean to have played a video game at all? Strap in folks, this one’s gonna get a little heady.Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.
