Housebound

Housebound is the world's only House MD podcast made by sickos, for sickos. We talk about the intricate rituals, which cast members look particularly sexy this week, and occasionally, the medicine.

Ep 32: The Talented Ms. Nixon 04/12/2025

Ep 32: The Talented Ms. Nixon S2e9 "Deception" Alanna just watched "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and so is having complicated personal feelings about this episode. Also, we google The Terror in Minecraft. The podcast Alanna talks about ~58m is "The Retrievals." /episode/index/show/housebound/id/36108320

Ep 31: Anne Boleyn Reid 02/08/2025

Ep 31: Anne Boleyn Reid S2e8 "The Mistake" In this one, we rented a podcast studio (location edited out for privacy) and attempted to sound professional for once! We also meander quite a lot through the Protestant Reformation. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/35200395

Ep 30: He Doesn't Know It's For the Funny Rat 01/07/2025

Ep 30: He Doesn't Know It's For the Funny Rat S2e7 "Hunting" Yeah, we were both extremely sleep-deprived while recording this one. We keep it together long enough to get through some entirely unrelated discussions on Luigi, guns, vaccines, and politics. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/34756095

Ep 29: As One Loser, To Another 11/30/2024

Ep 29: As One Loser, To Another S2e6 "Spin" BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER! We discuss what life agonies kept us from our beloved House MD for so long, transphobia in sports, and House of the Dragon, which at this point is just how we roll. And there's a special guest appearance from our kitty friend Vinnie. Note: the podcast Alanna references ~40:00 is "Bed of Lies." /episode/index/show/housebound/id/34206195

Ep 28: I Dare You To Make This One Funny 01/15/2024

Ep 28: I Dare You To Make This One Funny S2e5 "Daddy's Boy" We're back, baby! As the title suggests, this is kind of a downer, unfortunately. We do our best to lighten the mood. Digressions: Ancient Roman military wives, Howard has died. Badly, Ford owners be like, my parents sold me to House MD. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/29494563

Ep 27: Not TB But Vin-E 07/04/2023

Ep 27: Not TB But Vin-E S2ep4 "TB or Not TB" Fellas, is it gay to die of yellow fever? These questions and more answered only on Housebound. We mostly stay on topic, because the topic is "greedy pharma execs exploiting the third world" and it turns out there's a lot to say about that. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/27366753

Ep 26: He Got Jaime'd 05/14/2023

Ep 26: He Got Jaime'd S2ep3 "Humpty Dumpty" We do spend the first ten minutes of this episode talking about HotD again, so once that starts feel free to fast forward if you don't want to Sea his Snake. Otherwise we mostly stay on topic! Except for malaria cropping up a few times. But honestly, that should be expected from us by now. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/26831433

Ep 25: Nobody Is Doing It Like Them 04/30/2023

Ep 25: Nobody Is Doing It Like Them S2ep2 "Autopsy" And we are BACK, baby! Neither school nor work nor illness of the mind can keep us down forever. This episode features a special appearance from our newest friend of the show, Vinnie. Digressions: Daemon-Aemond-House beef, the Hatman, working a double at the hater factory, free my glans, and Jaehaerys your kids. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/26695371

Ep 24: The White Maester Mellos 12/24/2022

Ep 24: The White Maester Mellos S2ep1 "Acceptance" Welcome one and all! We actually made it to season 2, edited many weeks late. Mostly we talk about prison abolition and legal justice in this episode, which isn't even off topic. Digressions: shambling corpses, there was a chicken man, problems disease, and Beesbury sweep. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/25422945

Ep 23: The Househead's Gamble 10/06/2022

Ep 23: The Househead's Gamble Season 1 wrap-up! We lived, we laughed, we loved, we learned, we lusted. Long story short, we liked to see it. We answer your questions and discuss the season as a whole, where it left us with the characters and where we look forward to going in the future. Join us next time for season 2! /episode/index/show/housebound/id/24613878

Ep 22: Morbius and Eurydice 06/16/2022

Ep 22: Morbius and Eurydice S1ep22 "Honeymoon" And we did it, y'all! We finished season one. This episode begins with about 10 minutes of discussing current political tragedies (school shootings, pro-lifers, and anti-trans bills) so feel free to skip that if you'd rather not hear more about it. The following 4 minutes are about being gay in Westeros in case you want to skip that too. But otherwise we stay mostly on track, other than a quick Morbius break in the middle, naturally. Thanks for all the laughs! /episode/index/show/housebound/id/23451737

Ep 21: Mom Said It's My Turn to Relate to Hospice 04/27/2022

Ep 21: Mom Said It's My Turn to Relate to Hospice S1ep21 "Three Stories" Hospice is the third studio album by American indie rock band The Antlers, and their first concept album. It was initially self-distributed by the band in March 2009. Hospice tells the story of a relationship between a hospice worker and a female patient suffering from terminal bone cancer, their ensuing romance, and their slow downward spiral. Y'all already know what it is. Digressions: unironically cool Ben Garrison, Athena problematic, the Clodia/Lesbia debate, and COVID grifting. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/22931150

Ep 20: His Name Ain't Doctor Balls 02/06/2022

Ep 20: His Name Ain't Doctor Balls S1ep20 "Love Hurts" Woof. This is a double feature for House and Bones, and we're sorry you have to listen to that, but not as sorry as we are that we had to watch it. Digressions: MILF Guy #2, abolish football, I will kill the rat of Scranton, ancient medical schools, Edward Said rolling in his grave like a Costco hotdog, and Coriolanus Gunch insta-kill. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/22035683

Ep 19: Principal Investor in Noncecoin 12/07/2021

Ep 19: Principal Investor in Noncecoin This episode is boring enough that we started talking about Bones first. It's also uncomfortable in a not-very-funny way. But hey, could be worse, right? It could be the next episode. To clarify on something we forgot while recording: the member of Fall Out Boy that was in House s8 is not the same member we called gross. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/21407822

Ep 18: Eat Mummies Why? 12/03/2021

Ep 18: Eat Mummies Why? Our final Vogler episode, the plotline ends not with a bang but with a liberal copout. We'll find something else to be mad about, don't worry. Digressions: men who suck class solidarity, British cuisine, Q grifting, thank you eating him, magic Rasputin penis trick, and buying our silence. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/21369284

Ep 17: Some Basic Boo Boo Shit 11/07/2021

Ep 17: Some Basic Boo Boo Shit We liked it! And it's the last time we're gonna like it for a while! This one is actually very on-point politically without us reaching very much, which is somewhat of a rarity. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/21079400

Ep 16: THWC 09/21/2021

Ep 16: THWC We did not like to see this one! A classic "let's get briefly mad tonight" episode, as we remember why we started this podcast hating Chase. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/20554388

Ep 15: House Di Certo Non È Gay 08/10/2021

Ep 15: House Di Certo Non È Gay CAUTION: this episode may not be suitable for Italians. We mostly stayed on track, since "staying on track" meant multi-track drifting between the evils of billionaires in medicine, and jokes about Italians. Digressions: prison abolition except when Lisa Cuddy sends you there, the etymology of Lucario, men are banned from writing anime, poor little meow meows, and a sex gifs compilation. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/20098301

Ep 14: CEO of More Female Prison Guards, Inc. 07/02/2021

Ep 14: CEO of More Female Prison Guards, Inc. Content warning: this episode of House revolves around a patient with bulimia and we discuss both that and our own history with eating disorders. Please keep that in mind if you listen. It's basically self-contained between 1:13:08 and 1:27:15. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/19649027

Ep 13: The Dreams In Which I'm Leprous Are The Best I've Ever Had 06/22/2021

Ep 13: The Dreams In Which I'm Leprous Are The Best I've Ever Had We like it! Silly main story but finally some good character work for Chase that will be utterly abandoned until next season. Digressions: prison abolition except for Bryan Cogman, jellyfish brain, Sims adventures, the location of New England, the Captain Ahab of Dune, fucking the hexameter man for hexameters, and the inherent communism of furry artists. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/19569677

Ep 12: True Love Can Match Your HLAs 05/13/2021

Ep 12: True Love Can Match Your HLAs This episode sucks, but we found the funny! Mostly by talking about other stuff. Digressions: the Joker's favorite episode of House, men that look like old hams, if you like penis colada, Jimmy McGill's bootycheeks, and pure brick. Ass. Okay? /episode/index/show/housebound/id/19097855

Ep 11: Smokin' a Fat Ginch 04/26/2021

Ep 11: Smokin' a Fat Ginch This one rules. We read from Sallust's Bellum Catalinae because it's finally relevant. A surprisingly nuanced take on chronic pain and addiction, so naturally it's all downhill from here. Only a few digressions: Cask of Amontillado-ing our 17 year old selves, TJLC to TERF pipeline, blatantly lying for notes/if House went to the Reylo therapist. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/18872357

Ep 10: Four House Jokers in a Car 04/08/2021

Ep 10: Four House Jokers in a Car We mostly stay on topic this episode! The second of three bangers in a row. Digressions: Dragon Age discourse, the sexy dancing tigers from Zootopia, fruity behaviors/male thot jobs, and bad augury omens. And Alanna learns how a PCR works! /episode/index/show/housebound/id/18657461

Ep 9: I Diagnose You With Ajax 03/01/2021

Ep 9: I Diagnose You With Ajax The first of three bangers in a row! Powerful, simple, sexy. Digressions: Green Day but bad, the only three types of stories, foreshadowing the joke, plugging Hugh Laurie's jazz album, free foot pics, and bludge. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/18143336

Ep 8: Mercury in Your Peepuss Weewee 02/05/2021

Ep 8: Mercury in Your Peepuss Weewee "Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, 'The one whose JNCOs I compliment is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.'" Digressions: tummy soup, the definition of comedy, frantically googling Ashton Kutcher, a new creepypasta, Stone Age gays and of course, what would happen if you bought jeans off a truck. Plus we share our own high school stories! /episode/index/show/housebound/id/17815208

Ep 7: Go Girl Give Us Nothing! 01/31/2021

Ep 7: Go Girl Give Us Nothing! Boy this sure was a hollow shell of an episode! This episode helpfully brought to you by a parasitologist and someone who interrupts a lot. A few digressions: The Room watch party, joke of big tiddy is eternal, the new definition of dramatic irony, and man door hand hook car door. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/17752643

Ep 6: Mess First, Praxis Second 01/11/2021

Ep 6: Mess First, Praxis Second Well, it's taken several months, one car accident, one case of COVID, and two separated failed recordings, but we're finally back! And better yet, this episode is good! Digressions: Thrax came correct with it, put the God-Emperor in a scarmophogoghs, the ideal human form, love da Mets, and can't help being a Gemini! /episode/index/show/housebound/id/17493149

Ep 5: What Do Nuns Do in Australia, Idiot? 08/21/2020

Ep 5: What Do Nuns Do in Australia, Idiot? We got a long one today, fellas. Digressions include: Henry Cavill Sherlock Holmes; how Martin Luther invented being normal; Curio tax fraud/an ineffective George's Trick; Bernie 2: With a Gun This Time; Bones racist moments; Equal Opportunity Merlin; new slurs for Italians; Cuneiform-Anon. The book about abortion Alanna mentions is A Case of Need by Michael Crichton, highly recommend. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/15710180

Ep 4: Baby Small, MRI Big, Okay Funny 08/13/2020

Ep 4: Baby Small, MRI Big, Okay Funny WHY IS WILSON HERE?! Digressions: Plautus aphobe moments; a terminal case of Man Wrote It; Mouse, MD; a damnatio memoriae on Taub; Omar Epps acting license revoked. /episode/index/show/housebound/id/15601232

Ep 3: "My Bepnis is Fully Engaged" 06/26/2020

Ep 3: "My Bepnis is Fully Engaged" Things we go on tangents about that are only vaguely related to this episode: A Song of Ice and Fire's Jon Connington; Geralt Witcher's fat tiddies; our cat Merlin; how our parents met; what racial slurs Australians use; and Animal Crossing: Wild World. It's a veritable pinata of an episode! /episode/index/show/housebound/id/14981393
