Burdened with Glorious Podcast is a (mostly) comedic podcast hosted by real-life friends Maureen Skaggs and Megan Lerseth that is mainly dedicated to Marvel’s version of the Myth/NorseMythology trickster god {{SelfDemonstrating/Loki}}, and [[Series/Loki2021 his Disney+ series]] in particular- but, as often happens with friends, the discussion tends to go all over the place, with frequently bizarre results.

** Megan is much less skilled at this, though in the first episode she stumbles awkwardly into “Well, [[Music/RobZombie slam in the back of my Dragula]], how the hell are ya?” when trying to think of an appropriately folksy greeting for Mobius.

* UnusualEuphemism: In Episode 7, Maureen attempts to delicately refer to Natalie Holt (the composer for the Disney+ ''Loki'' series)’s suggestion about Loki and Sif’s prior relationship as “playing sword and magic fingers” and “hiding the sausage”, before Megan bluntly interjects “THEY HAD SEX.”

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Not so much for ''Loki'', but “That’s Our Secret, Cap” has a long discussion about [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean the effect that unceremoniously killing off Commodore Norrington had on the plot]].



* {{Polyamory}}: Megan’s suggestion for how to resolve the fandom’s complaints that Loki and Sylvie end up ButNotTooBi is to give Loki a boyfriend in Season 2, have him date the boyfriend and Sylvie simultaneously, have the boyfriend be gay and merely friendly with Sylvie, and for Sylvie and the boyfriend to team up to tease Loki on movie night.



** “Let Bicons Be Bicons” begins with a long and only tangentially related discussion about Bonnie Tyler. It eventually turns into Megan dissolving into helpless laughter while talking about [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FLARiLacx-s Tyler’s song “Ravishing”]] having been recycled from [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ig5phtP3Z_0 an entry theme]] Music/JimSteinman wrote for Wrestling/HulkHogan.

* AuthorAppeal: Megan in particular is a huge fan of ''Series/TheTerror'' and brings it up about as often as it can organically be fit into the discussion at hand. She has also mentioned several times that “weird old guys” like [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Barbossa]] are one of her favorite fictional archetypes, to the point of that informing her opinion of Classic Loki from the series. For her part, Maureen brings up '' ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard ''nearly OnceAnEpisode, and both hosts are ''very'' into 1980s New Wave and synthpop music (with Music/GaryNuman practically being a running joke of his own).
