The Sachairi & Peaches Show finally returns for Season 3, but not in the way neither co-host imagined it would turn out. Adrian Mata and Emma Settles discuss about the closing of the latter's alma mater, University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA; how alumni, current students, faculty & staff are affected by its sudden shutdown; and what lies ahead for the future of arts education in America. The World Telegram News' Edvardi Jackson also joins Adrian as they dive deeper into the issues that surrounded UArts prior to and after its closing.

With only so much available time to record this week's episode, Adrian and Emma try to get through the discussions as quickly as possible! The co-hosts discuss about the oversaturation of Taylor Swift—thanks to an opinion piece written by Trent Phillips for his own blog/podcast, The Foul Line—and the possibility of Coyote vs. Acme finding a second life at another distributor after Warner Bros. cancelled its release. Then, in celebration of indie animation, Adrian and Emma discuss about the pilots for the Lackadaisy and The Amazing Digital Circus web animated series, including what made these two pieces stand out amongst one another compared to recent works put out by larger studios.

This episode was originally released on November 14, 2023.

Continuing the podcast's 3 for Halloween series this month, Adrian and Emma take a virtual visit to Blithe Hollow and talk about ParaNorman—but not before divulging in a modern AU of the Laika Studios lead characters with Kubo running a coffeeshop (thanks to news of Kubo's voice actor Art Parkinson's assumption of ownership and operation of The Coffee Tree in Derry, Northern Ireland, UK). Once that discussion concludes, Adrian makes light of what's been going on at the sofa of ITV's This Morning programme, following the respective departures of its co-hosts, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, and what might come next for the embattled UK daytime show.
