What are Items & Synthesis?

Consider items: They are things! Useful tools & upgrades are a video game staple, and in our quest to 100%-completely explain the Kingdom Hearts series, we’ll go through them all. Where do potions come from? What are our most memorable Key Items in games? Why does Kingdom Hearts 3 get TWO crafting systems? And how can a keyblade design be sexy? We’ll throw the answers to all of these questions and more into a recipe, and hopefully synthesize some kind of coherent episode. **Credits** \- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin \- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte \- A member of  Multitude \- Support us on Patreon **About Us** *Simple and Clean* is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about *Kingdom Hearts*, a little video game franchise about really big feelings. We attempt to unravel how this deceptively expansive game series has touched an entire generation of deeply earnest weirdos - and along the way, we may realize that what we’re talking about might not be just a video game, but a whole lot more.  Never heard of *Kingdom Hearts*? That’s okay! We’re here to break it down for you, explain why we love it, and hopefully to convince you that this weird little story deserves a place in your heart. Join us as we discuss the plot, characters, world building, music, fashion, fanbase, and societal impact of a thing that by all means, probably shouldn’t even exist. New episodes every Sunday!
