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 Makes A Good Sleepover Game? with Jenna Stoeber, Jasmine Bhullar & David Tilstra - LIVE @ PAX West 2026
Welcome to the sleepover! We had a fantastic time recording our live show at PAX West 2026, getting comfy in our jammies with our friends Jenna Stoeber, Jasmine Bhullar & David Tilstra, talking all about playing games at sleepovers & how we discovered games in our youths. What makes a good sleepover game? What makes sleepovers so good for games? What CAN’T you find at the Thieves’ Market?? And what games should you bring to your next sleepover?Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Guests: - Guests: Jenna Stoeber, Jasmine Bhullar & David Tilstra- 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 358/2 Days (2009)? with Kelly Nicole
Streamer & comedian Kelly Nicole joins us on top of the Twilight Town clocktower to recap the mind-bending mundanity of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days! As if Roxas’s story in Kingdom Hearts 2 wasn’t tragic enough, 358/2 Days turns back the clock to show us how Roxas came to be part of Organization XIII in the first place, and what made him decide to leave them behind. When you’re killing the same creatures day in and day out, being an evil minion can be pretty mind-numbing! Especially when your thoughts and memories might be overflowing into a spare receptacle your bosses happen to have lying around. But Roxas, Axel & Xion truly learn how to make their downtimes special, meeting up every day atop the clocktower to eat their sea-salt ice cream. And so, as Naminé pieces the missing parts of the sleeping Sora back together and their continued existences are challenged, they learn to fight, not for a grand cosmic cause, but simply for the right to be.Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Guest: Kelly Nicole- 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 the Land of Dragons?
The Land of Dragons, much like the fireworks that prominently feature in its source movie Mulan, makes a short but fiery impact on the series in its only appearance in Kingdom Hearts 2. At the time of its launch Mulan was still pretty recent, and much beloved! The art team did a great job translating Mulan’s model, her landscape, and her journey of mastery to video game form, and the world has some fantastic boss fights. But as time has stretched on and more Disney films have risen to the top of the crop, the Land of Dragons got left behind. Are there blossoms still left on the tree for this world?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 Ansem the Wise / DiZ? with Dr. Claire Aubin
We are joined today by historian & certified hater Dr. Claire Aubin! She hosts a podcast called This Guy Sucked, where she tears apart so-called “Great Men” from history. So we tried to find the Guy who Sucks the most, so she’d feel right at home! Ansem the Wise was, once upon a time, the Sage-King of Radiant Garden. But when he takes in a powerful amnesiac and teaches him how to harness darkness, he is sent tumbling down into the depths of despair and the Dark Realm, and when he emerges his heart becomes calloused and consumed by revenge. And although he does eventually learn that perhaps his methods were not the nicest, it does take the vicious manipulation of several teenagers for him to figure that out. So we turned to Dr. Claire, to ask: Does Ansem the Wise suck??Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Guest: Dr. Claire Aubin- 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 Went Down At The D23 Kingdom Hearts Panel? (News & Rumors #4)
Last week Disney held their annual D23 Expo in Anaheim, and to our shock and delight, they FINALLY treated the Kingdom Hearts series as the crown jewel we have always known it to be! We got an extended look at our first Disney world for Kingdom Hearts IV, previews of new gameplay mechanics, the reveal of several newly-playable characters (like Donald & Goofy), and confirmation of some of the details we’d gleaned from previous trailers - all while STILL leaving us with more questions about what exactly is going on with Sora in the world of Quadratum. All this, as well as the announcement of a new anime series, a beautiful performance by the voice cast, and a rare appearance by series creator Tetsuya Nomura, made this panel one any Kingdom Hearts fan absolutely needs to see. So in case you didn’t see it: don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!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 a Secret Ending?
Long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe made secret endings into required reading, Kingdom Hearts was using cryptic, intense, bad-ass cutscenes to tease their future games, and blow child minds… but only those dedicated enough to reach them. Today we’re talking about the Kingdom Hearts series’ tradition of Secret Endings - what they are, where they come from, what they’re for, and perhaps most importantly, how they made us feel when our brains were still cooking.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 Atlantica?
Today we’re going Under The Sea - darling it’s wetter, but is it actually better? Atlantica is a divisive world among the Kingdom Hearts fandom. In the first game, it’s a proper level - the only one where the Disney Princess actually joins you in combat! In Kingdom Hearts II… well, it’s a much-maligned rhythm game, with original songs that may not quite match the legacy of Howard Ashman’s original compositions. Why is it like this? Is it really as bad as we all remember? And what can we do to keep Ariel as a part of our world?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.
