Let Me Tell You About (Show)

Let Me Tell You About (abbreviated "LMTYA") is a podcast and the main focus of this wiki. The podcast is based around Tad and a guest (usually Aleks) talking about a particular topic, including but not limited to:


 * Work experience
 * Video games
 * History
 * Online oddities
 * Other ridiculous nonsense.

As of July 2021, Aleks, the long-time and de facto cohost, stepped down from the podcast to pursue his creative passions. While Joe has stepped in to fill the second mic, an official new cohost has yet to be announced.

Origins & History
The series began in early 2016 as Homestuck was on its deathbed and Tad wanted to start his own creative venture. Split choosing between developing a game and making a podcast, Tad went with the podcast option because it could lead to instant gratification and he could share it with Aleks so they could stay friends.

The original first episode has been lost to time for apparently being utter dogshit, leaving "Getting Arrested Outside of A Comic Shop" as the earliest available episode. The podcast eventually caught some heat, gaining thousands of views and fans from its episodes, "Let Me Tell You About... Shutting Down Neopets," "Let Me Tell You About... Chris Chan" and its subsequent remastered cut, and "Let Me Tell You About... Assigned Male."

Aleks' Dream Series
A 3 part series going into Aleks' narriative-driven dreams. Wacky, funny characters such as Bindaman, Frank the intelligent zombie, and Niel originate from these.

Thanar, hero of WoW roleplay
A very early on fan favorite, this episode goes into Aleks' time on a WoW roleplay server and the shenanigans he caused, witnessed, or was forcibly thrown into. This series is also to be the subject of an animation by Discord user "pissmaster."

Subseries & One-offs
LMTYA has several subseries and one-offs that change up the formula (or the intro theme). While the style and feel of these episodes range wildly, all are still under the overarching LMTYA banner.

Noyz Boyz - 2016-present; 28 episodes
Beginning as a break from the mainline LMTYA formula, Noyz Boyz is a series of recordings where Tad, Aleks, Joe, and/or another guest hop on to shoot the shit or talk about a particular topic not fleshed out enough to make its own episode of LMTYA.

Somewhat Accurate History (SAH) - 2018-2021?; 24 episodes
Somewhat Accurate History is a history-centered series in which a specific person, event, or trend from history is discussed. As the title implies, the topics are discussed with loose accuracy, choosing instead to focus on the funnier/cooler aspects of them for the audience's listening pleasure. While there is a wide range of topics discussed, Aleks general tends to focus on Russia and events from the 1500s while Tad mainly discusses odd stories from the 1800s.

Originally, Aleks wanted to commentate on the 2019 Hong Kong pro-democracy protests and how U.S. companies (in particular Blizzard-Activision) were complacent with China censoring word of the protests in their games; this resulted in the episode "Let Me Tell You About... China," which talked about the history of the Chinese Civil War and Mao Zedong's rule. A month later, "Let Me Tell You About... Cortez and the Aztecs" was released, still under the mainline LMTYA banner. Finally, with the release of "The Incas and El Dorado - Somewhat Accurate History," the series became separate, albeit in name only.

Note: While unofficially beginning with the China episode and officially beginning with the Cortez episode, 2 episodes released months/years before are counted as SAH episodes: "Pewdiepie, The Biggest Face Turn in Youtube History" and "The Human Spectacle (w/ Joe Buckley)."

No Stupid Questions - 2019-2021; 8 episodes
A series where Tad and Aleks or Joe answer hard-hitting questions from viewers. The original, 7 episode run lasted through the latter half of 2019, but was brought back for a one-time special as "Tad 'n' Joe Call in Show - Romantic Advice from the 'Kissing Cousins.'"

Swole Quest - 2017; 2 episodes
A series where Tad and Michael discuss physical fitness, mental health, and anime waifus. Was supposed to be a bi-weekly series, but only received 2 episodes released a month and a half apart and never received another episode again.

Homestuck Ruined My Life - Homestuck Month 2017 (2017-2019); 6 episodes (Main Article)
A series where Tad recounts why he read Homestuck, what it was, and the cultural impact it had. Infamously, it lasted 1 year and 9 months despite being made exclusively for "Homestuck Month" (October 2017).
