Episode #285 - Writers' Room: Wipeout #1-#4
W-w-w-w-w-w-wipeout!! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:50 That's right, we broke the two hour mark. Again. Sorry! If it makes you feel better, it's because we did an entire limited run of a comic book title! I'll bet you'll never guess which title, though... If you're on the Letters Page Patreon (and if you're not, why not?) join us this coming Friday at 11 AM Central for a live recording of Editor's Note #80! Which will be next week's episode! But, I highly recommend being there live, if possible. We might just have some secret plans...
Episode #284 - Writers' Room: Rook City Renegades #22
I'll bet you'll never guess which villains are the dueling stars of this episode. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:34 The day of recording was Adam's Birthday! And then, this most recent Saturday was Intergalactic Same Age Day! Did you all enjoy being suddenly and inexplicably 40? Pretty great, right? Heck yeah. Anyway, now everyone is back to their just and proper ages, and it's time to talk about two villains who are mad at each other. Rest assured, this is an ongoing feud! They continue to dislike each other right up to the end of the Multiverse... and beyond! Join us next week for Episode #285, a story all about Wipeout!
Episode #283 - Writers' Room: Bunker in space: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #391-#396
SIX issues in the title?! Yup. Show Notes: Run Time: 2:05:11 Another episode that cracks 2 hours... we didn't set out to tell this much of a tale, but we were on a roll! Plus, we quite like this villainous foil for our beloved Tyler Vance. We also get to questions. A friendly reminder! Please, try to keep your letters UNDER 5ish paragraphs. If you've gotta go over, make it for a good reason. We believe in you! You write great letters! You can do this! We just want to hear from as many people as possible, not just giant letters from a few folks. Sorry to be a bummer about this! Join us next week for the first episode of June, 2024! Episode #284 will be a Writers' Room all about two villains who are nemeses with each other! Get your questions in now!
Editor's Note #79
Howdy, folks! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:31 You know the drill! Goofs galore! But first, a schedule! Tuesday, June 4th: Episode #284 - Writers' Room: Two villains who are nemeses Tuesday, June 11th: Episode #285 - Writers' Room: A Wipeout story Tuesday, June 18th: Editor's Note #80 Tuesday, June 25th: Episode #286 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Kismet as High Queen of Planet Earth After that, we get to letters, as well as live questions from the live viewers! Wish you could be a live viewer? You can! Just join the Letters Page Patreon! Join us next week for Episode #283 - Writers' Room: Bunker in SPAAAAAAAAAACE!
Episode #282 - Writers' Room: A Day In The Life: Fanatic
She's winging in for some stories! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:57:33 We delve into just who in Fanatic's supporting cast is around in the mid-80s, and find some small hopes, at least! Then, we tell some tales. Fanatic's a complicated character, especially in the 80s. Then, we answer questions from the recent Greazer and Fashion episode! Yes, we talk about Cardshark and Kaargra Warfang. Join us next week for an Editor's Note... or better yet, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us THIS FRIDAY for the live recording!
Episode #281 - Writer's Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 3 #170
We gotta save the planet! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:35 We tell a story... but first, we tell you all the Professor Pollution backstory connecting bits that we'd never bothered to go into before! So, you're welcome! And/or apologies! Depending on how you feel about all that. Anyway, right, then on to the story! You know what ultimately happens in it, but the beat-by-beat is still pretty dang good! At least, in our opinion. Join us next week for yet another "A Day In The Life" episode, this one all about Fanatic!
Episode #280 - Writer's Room: Disparation Vol. 2 #122
The end of the Oracle! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:50 Look how short this episode is! It's not because anything was ommitted — no, we just knew this whole tale, and told it post-haste! Is it a good tale? That's for YOU to decide! We answer some questions from recent and NOT AT ALL RECENT history. Do the questions ripen with age? Or do they rot? Or neither? So many questions in today's show notes. Too many? Who can say?! Join us next week for a Writers' Room about that one time when Akash'Bhuta became Akash'Thriya! Woo!
Editor's Note #78
It's another LIVE SHOW! Or, rather, it was. This is the recording of that live show. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:48 We do some goofs, tell some tales, answer letters and questions from chat — everything you've come to expect from an Editor's Note episode! But first! A schedule! Tuesday, May 7th: Episode #281 - Writers' Room: Akash'Bhuta becomes Akash'Thriya Tuesday, May 14th: Episode #282 - Writers' Room: A Day in the Life: Fanatic Tuesday, May 21st: Editor's Note #79 Tuesday, May 28th: Episode #283 - Writers' Room: Bunker in space Join us next week on Tuesday, April 30th for Episode #280 - Disparation Vol. 2 #122 AKA "Farewell to the Oracle of Discord!"
Episode #279 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #533
Looks like it's time for Space Stuff! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:09:45 What's with all these long episodes (for the most part) lately?! We must be catching up for lost time in the first few months of the year. Yeah, that's it — gotta make sure our average episode length smooths itself out. This episode is just a straight-up continuation of a previous episode: Episode #225, in fact! Haven't listened to it before? We recommend going back and checking it out before diving into this one. We clarify some things from the issue we Writers' Roomed in that one, cover the issue after that, and then dive deep into today's title/cover issue! Woo! Then, in the letters section, we talk about love. What's not to love? See you next week (or this Friday, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon) for an Editor's Note!
Episode #278 - Writers' Room: A Day In The Life: The Argent Adept
Another Day in another Life! The musical episode? (No.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:39:59 It's been awhile since we've done one of these, and we're excited to return to the format. Did we make it work? You decide! Also, check out this kick-ass cover that Adam slaved over! Mighty impressive! We also field a bunch of letters on a few topics, and we attempt to answer them all! I realize that's pretty much every episode, but it's also this one! Join us next week for an episode about space anti-hero big dummy, earth-to-space-to-earth fashion model turned vigilante vs cosmic Jaws (TM, don't sue us).
Episode #277 - Writers' Room: Mind Over Matter #53
We're going to a darker time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:29 We're right at it, and telling a story that gets pretty Dark... Dark Visionary, that is! I'd say "spoilers", but you could have already seen the cover by this point, so there you go. And it happened at the same time as the Vengeance limited series, as promised! Want to know more? You'll just have to listen to the episode! Next week, we get to do another Day in the Life episode, this one about The Argent Adept! Join us!
Episode #276 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #431
Christopher and Adam are back, and they're not even a little sorry for this episode! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:07:07 We genuinely didn't know where we were headed at the start of this recording, but we sure got there! Did you enjoy it? We sure did! Join us next week for Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story!
Surgery-Sode!!!
It's finally here! The long-awaited surgery-sode! That's right, not much of an episode today, because Christopher just had spine surgery and is recovering. How's recovery going? I'm sure we'll find out soon! Bear with us until then! (AAAAH!! The bear is back!!!)
Editor's Note #77
An early Editor's Note! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:04:03 The Letters Boys have some complaints, but all solvable problems, one way or another! We look forward to having fewer complaints and make more content! Stories! Art! More! There's an upcoming schedule! There's also a current schedule! Here they are! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, March 12th: definitely Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 19th: for sure Surgery-Sode Tuesday, March 26th: hopefully Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character If all that works, then: Tuesday, April 2nd: Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story Tuesday, April 9th: Episode #278 - A Day in the Life: Argent Adept Tuesday, April 16th: Episode #279 - Greazer & Fashion vs Card Shark Tuesday, April 23rd: Editor's Note #78 Tuesday, April 30th: Episode #280 - Disparation Vol. 2 #122 "Farewell to the Oracle" Here's hoping! Next week, it's the likely-not-very-interesting-surgery-sode, but then! After that! A return to form (probably) with maybe Christopher having a funny voice (hopefully)! Something(s) to look forward to.
Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #391
Telling a story about a minor villain who never really catches on... until she is reborn! (But that's in the future. Not in this episode.) Show Notes: Run Time: 2:04:47 Over two hours! Huh, I don't remember feeling that long when we recorded it. Welp! We must have been in the zone, or something. ANYWAY! We tell a Choke story. The first one, actually! But we talk about a bunch of other stuff as well, including Night Snake and Stuntman stuff in the letters section. There's a lot! It's all pretty fun! At least, we sure think so. Thanks for being a part of it! We're recording a LIVE Editor's Note, this Friday, March 8th, at 11 AM, Central! If you're on The Letters Page Patreon, you can watch it, and even join in if you're a Contributor! Otherwise, it'll come out next week in audio format! After that: surgery. Weee!
Episode #274 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #107-#108
NOW we're REALLY back! For a few weeks, at least. But still! TWO COVERS! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:43:48 Right off the bat, a new upcoming schedule! Wednesday, February 28th: Record Episode #275: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, March 5th: Release Episode #275: Choke in Megalopolis Friday, March 8th: Record Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 12th: Release Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 19th: Release Surgery-sode! After that, things depend on how recovery goes, and whether or not I go to PAX East. We'll keep you updated as we know more! Sorry for things still being so up in the air, but it's for very good reasons, at least! And then, to the episode! Do we tell a tale? YES! Emphatically yes. We cover a lot, and we do the whole thing live! Remember: we're recording the next episode TOMORROW! So, if you have any questions, now is the time to submit them! SUBMIT!
Editor's Note #76
The most normal episode in weeks! And we did it live! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:25 Medical updates, schedule updates, plans, hopes, dreams, and whiteboard drawings. What more could you ask for? What's that you say? Questions, answered live? Yeah, we've got those, too! First off, here are a couple of hopefully illustrative whiteboard drawings, as discussed near the start of this episode. The problem: The solution: Makes sense? Certainly something Christopher is looking forward to! Next, the proposed schedule, though with the knowledge that it could change at any time, due to surgery! Upcoming schedule: ??? Tuesday, March 5th: probably Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, March 12th: maybe Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character Tuesday, March 19th: possibly Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 26th: hopefully Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story And then, we read some letters, give some answers, and also answer questions in the chat! Starting off with two lovely postcards: Thanks, everyone! Join us next week for Episode #274: Baron Blade vs non-Freedom Five heroes! Get your questions in now!
Answer-Sode!
We're back with a bigger episode than we've had in weeks! (Which isn't saying that much, but still!) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:05:11 First, we go in-depth on Christopher's health and answer as many questions of that sort as possible. (More to come on that when we do a live show this coming Friday!) Then, now that we've answered the latest questions (such as, "Is Christopher OK?") we figured we'd take a swing at some of the oldest questions in the hopper! It's almost like a normal Letters section! Huzzah! There's some question at the end (and before that, too) as to whether the schedule will allow for a live show this coming Friday. If you've been following the parentheticals, you know that it's true! There will be a live Editor's Note this coming Friday, February 16th! 11 AM, Central Time! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us! If not, join us! (But, you know, a different kind of join us. First, the second. Second, the first.) See you then!
Spine-a-sode!
Another fake episode? You bet! But this one has way more information than last fake episode, hippo violations be damned! Plus, hope for an eventual return to normalcy! What more could you ask for? Thanks for sticking with us, folks. We hate not putting out real episodes and look forward to getting back to it as soon as possible. Until then, go out there and save the Multiverse!
Not-a-Sode
Not the regularly scheduled episode you were expecting, for which we apologize. Christopher's medical condition has taken several turns for the worse, so we talk a bit about that on the air about what that means for the future, and what they can do to make up for it when he's better. Bear with us!
Editor's Note #75
The first Editor's Note of 2024! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:14 This one ended up being longer than usual — it has both a real life letter (spoilers) and a cover section (more spoilers)! But first, the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, February 6th: Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, February 13th: Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character Tuesday, February 20th: Editor's Note #76 Tuesday, February 27th: Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story Other than that, what all do we talk about? Listen to learn more!
Episode #273 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #613
A tale, told swiftly, but told well! (At least, so we hope.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:41 We tear right into this one, building out Waykeep notably and inventing a new villain to keep things interesting! It's another great day here at The Letters Page, where we keep our letters on our page! Trying out a new tagline. It's not great. That happens. All part of the process. We've got a live show coming up this Friday for you fantastic patreon folks! For everyone else, it'll be next week's episode! Either way: tune in! Please! We like it when you listen to us.
Episode #272 - Writers' Room: Mystery Comics Vol. 2 #485
It's the first of our monthly episodes! A January story in January! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:53:41 We talk about stunts and snakes, make up fake celebrities, and even answer your questions?! Wow! Off to a great start for 2024! Join us next week for Episode #273: Lifeline encounters Waykeep! What does that mean? Time will tell!
Holid-AI Mini-Sode
Happy Holidays to all of you fantastic letter writers, game players, Patreon supporters, shippers, and listeners of all types! From all of us here at the Letters Page: Christopher, Adam, Trevor, and the computers that simulate our existence. Let's make 2024 the best year ending in "24" yet!
Episode #271 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #16
Happy Boxing Day, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:31 Today's topic is "Captain Cosmic and/or Naturalist Story Where Neither Are Responsible For The Relevant Problem And Both Contribute Positively To Its Satisfying Resolution And Neither Are Tricked By Anyone In The Process"... and we feel called out. However! We do our best to present at least one of those two daring do-gooders in a purely positive light! In the process of storytelling, Christopher draws some things on his whiteboard to illustrate a point to Adam. Here are photos of those drawings! First: Veneer's plan: The ultimate outcome (SPOILERS!): Those pictures are likely worth far less than the going rate of 1000 words. Next Tuesday is the first Tuesday of 2024, and is thus our traditional "break", but we'll be back the week after that with episode #272, all about Stuntman AND Night Snake! Get your questions in now!
Editor's Note #74
Happy Holidays, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:11 It's the end of the year as we know it, and we feel fine! What's coming up for next year? We don't know! Well, we know some things. Like the upcoming recording schedule! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, January 2nd: Annual break! Tuesday, January 9th: Episode #272: Stuntman vs Nightsnake Tuesday, January 16th: Episode #273: Lifeline encounters Waykeep Tuesday, January 23rd: Editor's Note #75 Tuesday, January 30th: Episode #274: Baron Blade vs non-F5 team Also, as promised, Adam's delightful Hydro Force arts! Thanks for being part of the Multiverse this year, everyone! You make what we do possible, and also way better!
Episode #270 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #513
All new, all different, all... what?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:11 An alternate Freedom Five line-up, in the 90s? Gotta be a blatant but misguided marketing stunt, right? Correct. We get into it! And tell some strange stories! And cover a number of issues! And even answer questions! If you're a Letters Page Patreon Person, join us this Friday for a LIVE Editor's Note! Otherwise, it'll be out in audio for next week! See you then!
Episode #269 - Writers' Room: America's Newest Legacy #514 & #515
A dynamic duo of issues about a dynamic duo of heroes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:46:50 We actually talk about even more issues than just the two! But those are the focus of the story, certainly. We also have a thrilling letters section, with some never before asked questions! A landmark episode, to be sure. Join us next week for an episode about an alternate Freedom Five line-up... which we've already recorded!
Episode #268 - Writers' Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 4 #60-#61
Two issues today? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:25 No, actually more than two issues! We have a LOT of issues, and we talk about many of them. That could be the tagline of The Letters Page, actually. Get your questions for "Young Legacy and Expatriette team-up" and "Alternate Freedom Five line-up" in ASAP! And Christopher will be at PAX Unplugged this weekend, so come find him!
Editor's Note #73
The saltiest Editor's Note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:18 Christopher is sitting! Adam did art! We eat candy! And talk about a schedule! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, December 5th: Episode #269: Writers' Room: Young Legacy and Expatriette team-up Tuesday, December 12th: Episode #270: Writers' Room: Alternate Freedom Five Line-Up (not Disparation) Tuesday, December 19th: Editor's Note #74 Tuesday, December 26th: Episode #271: Writers' Room: Captain Cosmic and/or Naturalist Story Where Neither Are Responsible For The Relevant Problem And Both Contribute Positively To Its Satisfying Resolution And Neither Are Tricked By Anyone In The Process There are questions, answers, goofs, and gaffes. Essentially, everything you've come to expect from The Letters Page! We're recording the next three episodes in the next weekish, so get your questions in ASAP, especially for the episodes annouced here!
Episode #267 - Writers' Room: Prime Wardens Vol. 2 #29
To the land of the dead! But with mummies and lots of sand! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:28 Christopher starts off with another tale of injury, but this was far lower stakes and more medically attended to than last year's cave story, so that's good, at least! Then, our heroes fall! But will they rise again? Gosh, let's hope so! If you're a Letters Page Patreon supporter, join us this Friday for a live Editor's Note! If not, you'll hear it next Tuesday! Either way: it'll be a fun time!
Episode #266 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #506
Spooky season continues with a Very Spooky November! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:31 This one gets pretty extreme! We're gonna tell a few issues worth of story, and we're going to try to not make this the longest episode, as a result. We think we did a pretty OK job at both — what do you think? Join us next week for Episode #267: Prime Wardens in the Egyptian Underworld! Get your questions in about it now!
Episode #265 - Writers' Room: The Guise Book #22
Happy Halloween! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:50:31 This Halloween, Guise has got his hands full... full of stakes with which to stab vampires! Draculas, specifically. We tell the whole tale, revealing much, but also sneaking some non-reveals in there, as well! We also answer many questions on a few topics, including the surprisingly well-received Sk8Blayd episode! Join us next week for an episode about GloomWeaver and Æternus... which we've already recorded! But if you've got questions about the Prime Wardens in the Egyptian Underworld, send them in!
Editor's Note #72
We're back! It's been too long! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:07 We talk about songs, do some goofs, and reveal an already revealed schedule! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, November 7th: Episode #266: GloomWeaver vs. Æternus Tuesday, November 14th: Episode #267: Prime Wardens in the Egyptian Underworld Tuesday, November 21st: Editor's Note #73 Tuesday, November 28th: Episode #268: Grimm: Lord of the Harvest Amazing. Then we read real life letters, answer questions, meta questions, and meta meta questions. Including a surprise guest near the end of the episode! Stay tuned and find out! Join us next week for Episode #265 about Guise fighting the Draculas!
Episode #264 - Writers' Room: Savage Haka #100
We came here to talk about wolves and travel the world, and we're all out of travel time! Awwwooooo! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:29 Our THIRD episode recorded in 2 days, and yet, we pull it off majestically! At least, WE think we're majestic. Don't burst our bubble. This is a very 90s story, and as such, it has a very 90s cover, complete with ridiculous hologram! Look at the great work Adam did crafting a hologram to make this cover look terrible! I mean awesome! Now that schedule things are back to normal, we've got an Editor's Note coming up VERY SOON! In fact, that's next week's episode! And, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can watch it live this coming Friday! Heck, if you're a Contributor to said Patreon, you can join in the chat and be part of the episode! Exciting! Check out the Letters Page Patreon, and keep on saving the Multiverse! (You can save the Multiverse whether you're a part of the Patreon or not, though, to be clear.)
Episode #263 - Writers' Room: America's Finest Legacy #171 / NightMist #10
Good morning, Sentinels fans! Rise and shine... FROM THE GRAVE! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:30 We're back with another thrilling tale to delight and horrify! You thought you'd seen the last of General Geist?! Well, who can say. This is one of our favorite episodes in a while. We hope you like it too! Join us next week for a HOWLING good time!
Episode #262 - Writers' Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 2 #310
Kicking off the spooky months with a bang! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:45 This is the FIRST of the three episodes recorded in a row... and yet! It could be the third, based on the amount of goofy unhinged nonsense we're up to, right off the bat! Why? Who can say? But then, we get into a story, and we try to play it cool, but we let some things slip. You'll figure it out! And if not, don't worry, we reveal all... or, at least, a lot. Time will tell, and all that! Join us next week for an (already recorded) episode all about an old Nazi foe, back from the dead!
Episode #261 - Rook City Renegades #100
The most extreme non-extremeverse story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15{6 According to Trevor, this may be our most gruesome episode since the Spite episode! Fitting. Also: sorry!

Do you wish you were there? You could be next time! Join us on The Letters Page Patreon! See you next week for The Death of Sk8blayd!
Episode #260 - Creative Process: OblivAeon Refugees
Everybody's had the right to be free. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:40 We talk about travel, climbing, movies, small furry creatures/people... and finally we stop stalling and tell the stories you voted on! We bring up some folks, talk about people you've heard about, and then make up a few more you've never heard of! Well, at least, not in this incarnation. Join us next week for Editor's Note #71! And, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for the live recording thereof!
Episode #259 - Disparation Vol. 2 #108
Let's get EXTREME again! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:52 OK, we get pretty silly with this one, but it's worth it! At least, we think so. I'm just now on my way back from a very successful PAX West, which I'm sure you'll hear all about in next week's episode, which is Episode #260: Creative Process: OblivAeon Refugees! Get your questions in for that one now! Talk to you then!
Episode #258: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 4 #55
It's time to hunt! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:12 We start with some goofs about episode, dice, and more, but then we get into it! Because we gotta tell you several back stories and also, after all of this, record another episode in ONE DAY?! Is it possible? I guess you'll have to wait until next week to find out THAT outcome! For now, we're gonna talk about Alpha, and we're gonna talks about the Lords Wolfhunt! Join us next week for some XTREME Omnitron action and more! We hope you enjoy this stuff at least half as much as we do!
Editor's Note #70
Back to normal! More or less! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:44:03 We've got goofs! Surprised? I feel like you shouldn't be, by this point. Still, goofs abound! But also, a schedule: Tuesday, September 5th: Episode #259: Writers' Room: Xtremeverse Omnitron Tuesday, September 12th: Episode #260: Creative Process: OblivAeon Refugees Tuesday, September 19th: Editor's Note #71 Tuesday, September 26th: Episode #261: Writers' Room: Rook City Renegades #100 (The Death of Sk8blayd) Mostly dead shows! Just preparing for the following months, which are spooky, as is traditional. We read letters! We answer questions! We create issues for the future, and I'm not talking about comic book issues here! Join us next week for Episode #258 - Writers' Room: Tabitha Taft defeats an Alpha foe! Who could it BE now?
Gen Con Live 2023
Coming at you, both LIVE and NEON! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:30 How could I pick from all these fantastic photos? Look at them! The show starts off with some yelling as I throw shutter shades and snap bracelets into the audience — no one got hurt! Which is shocking, really. Then, we take more photos! A little after the 5 minute mark, we do some great radio that isn't explained well on the air. It culminates in me removing my tie and tying it around Adam's head as a headband. It was another fantastic live show, with both Trevor and Jean-Marc helping out a ton, and even a surprise appearance from Paul Bender to reprise a segment from last year. AND! Tons of fantastic listeners, many of whom we knew by name but had never met before. That was a cool experience for us, to be sure. Join us next week for an Editor's Note next week, and if you're on the Patreon, join us this coming Friday for a live recording of said Editor's Note! Oh, and speaking of the Letters Page Patreon, if you're a Patreon supporter, you can get all the audio files from today's episode over there! Pretty cool, right?
The Talented-Trevor-sode!
Surprise! No episode this week, and yet we still put out a little something! By now, I'm sure that's not at all surprising, since we do something like this everytime, but each one unique! This one shows off just how good Trevor is at stuff, and also gives you a little insight into Christopher's other podcast, the Play Greater Podcast! We're newly back from Gen Con, but the dust has HARDLY settled. Next week's episode will be the audio recording of this year's Gen Con live show, and then all you Letters Page Patreon folks can join us the following Friday for a live Editor's Note! And if you're not a Letters Page Patreon person, maybe consider becoming one today! See you soon!

However, before that, we go to space with our most oft-character-changing hero, Parse!

Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:13 We come in with no concrete ideas... and yet hit the ground running on a three part story sure to shock and amaze! Heroes! Cults! Thrills and spills! We've got 'em all, and more! We also read letters, answer questions, and leave frustrating crumbs about future content in unplanned ways, as per usual!

A new Citizen?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:40 It's been a while since we've talked about Citizen Dawn related stuff. Can she survive this return to her stories?! Villainy is afoot!
