About this listen

Welcome to "We're Not Helpful," the podcast where unconventional meets literature! Join hosts Brayton, Eloise and Julian as they take a hilariously unhelpful dive into the world of books and writing.


In each episode, our hosts explore a variety of literary topics with their signature blend of wit, humor, and irreverence. From dissecting classic novels to debating the merits of various writing styles, "We're Not Helpful" offers a refreshing take on the literary world that's anything but conventional.


Whether you're a seasoned bibliophile or just dipping your toes into the literary pool, this podcast promises entertaining discussions that will leave you both enlightened and entertained. So, grab your favorite book and a cup of tea (or something stronger), and join us as we navigate through the pages of literature with our uniquely unhelpful perspective.

    We're taking a break from regular episodes over the month over December. But never fear because we are here with the very first episode of our 2 part Dungeons and Dragons special. We really hope you enjoy how bad we all are at this game.

    Episode 48: Staring at Cthulhu Like an Idiot
    Nov 18 2025

    We dive into millennial chaos, QR-code culture, and the bold internet heroes who think they could stare at Cthulhu without going insane. Plus, book talk, horror tangents, and a chaotic game where we guess classic opening lines horribly mangled by Google Translate.

  • Episode 47: In Defense of Skipping the Poems in Tolkien

    Episode 47: In Defense of Skipping the Poems in Tolkien
    Nov 4 2025

    This week, we prove once again that we are—indeed—not helpful.


    Join Eloise, Brayton, and Julian as we spiral from Queensland hailstorms and zombie movies into a full-scale literary meltdown. What starts as a casual chat about Supanova and Jean-Claude Van Damme somehow becomes an unhinged debate about Lord of the Rings, Gone Girl, and why Hamlet should probably just get on with it already.
