Look, its not a great title. But it's what I came up with. Lacking other side content to share, I decided to try something new: discussing favorite music with my wife. Songs from the long ago 70's and 80's, to far more current media. You'll probably note some through lines running throughout as we talk about what these songs mean to us (links to relevant music videos). For this week: Paul Simon - Boy In The Bubble: https://youtu.be/Uy5T6s25XK4?si=5ctdF5WSSMEgQ3ns Simon and Garfunkel - I Am A Rock Sara Barellies - Armor https://youtu.be/a6Uj2QyBJVc?si=mFjV6xvxGRvWeY8d Sara Barellies - Cassiopeia Outro is Simon and Garfunkel - "The Boxer"
Our final thoughts on this, the longest journey. The Journey of Steamheart. __ __ The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com/ The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ The Fireside Alliance Podcast Network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/ Intro and Outro are is "My Silver Lining" by First Aid Kit Midroll music includes: "Bittersweeet" and "Thunder Dreams" by Kevin McCleod
Out of the Wind Door and into the Wide Blue Yonder... Or wait, no, we're actually covering The Giggle this time. But really, here is part 2 of a discussion on Doctor Who's 60th anniversary specials, so discussion and spoilers covering The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder, and The Giggle. And listen to the end for a hell of a plot twist! Special guest stars Kevin Veighey and Jesse Ferguson! The visuals from the Craig Ferguson Doctor Who opening skit: https://youtu.be/M9P4SxtphJ4?si=U0QGeKkcTrnI9_7F The Fireside Alliance Podcast Network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/ Intro is "Light Me Up" by Audiorezout of Free Music Archive
An essay I wrote in 2019, after interviewing Alex and Sharon for Steamheart. The first creative writing I'd done in a while. And needed practice for the podcast I would eventually do with Toby. The essay now includes Music and an epilogue to my personal little story. Spoilers for certain story elements of The Good Place, but specifically for Season 4, episode 9 of that show. Midroll is "Clean Soul" by Kevin McLeod Outro is "Answer" by Sarah McLachlan
Here's the rest of it and it's extra long. But only slightly because of what I added. As before, spoilers not just for Steamheart, but for all New Century books released by 2019, including and especially The Princess Thieves. It's amazing to think so much started here. Enjoy.

This Wind Door once more opens next to a TARDIS! Lacking his Real Life Doctor companion, Greg invites Kevin Veighey back to Dish on the Doctor, plus time travel expert Jesse Fergusson to be our foil! Today we cover The Star Beast and Wild Blue Yonder, though there will be discussion of overarching themes of all three 14th Doctor Specials, so expect potential spoilers for all! Allon-sy! Catherine Tate Comic Relief Skit! https://youtu.be/WxB1gB6K-2A?si=HJld5GftspIPM7Df The Importance of Doctor Who's Trans Character https://youtu.be/4hm5Pv0HbXY?si=nrJgWhd-SLXrJNog The Fireside Alliance Podcast Network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/ Intro is "Light Me Up" by Audiorezout of Free Music Archive
Late 2019, Alex was making the post Steamheart materials after the release of the final episode of the audiodrama. Then he had a banger of an idea: why not ask two fans to interview them instead of just doing content with the cast? Little did he know what he started. 4 years later, I rerelease these interviews that began with me and Toby and our crappy mics. Complete with added editorials from me, reflecting on how those old interviews sound now, and reflections on what we did and what's to come. Spoiler warning: We discuss several aspects of all of Phase 1, including elements from The Princess Thieves, which we have not yet covered in the Retrospective. This Warn You. Enjoy!

Well, here's another first. Dr. Skeels-Jungius and I are covering a videogame! But it's a video game we feel strongly about, both in the original experience, as part of a series of games, but also as lovers of Spider-Man and his extended mythology.

Part 2 of our initial conversations on the hot new thing, Castle of the Moon. As before, this episode will spoil the book in question, will potentially spoil Any Other Part of New Century because we get into a bunch of the implications for how this book reveals previously unknown context about previously released books. Part and parcel of being a prequel! On top of that, this will get into spoilers for the movie Memento. Yes, revealing that is a bit of a spoiler in and of itself, can't be helped. I still don't think it would prepare you for how it comes into play, and Memento is a 23 year old movie, but still! We cant talk about how mind blowing this book is without the proper context! (Timestamp is 34:20 to 38:30) Get ready for sex, grief, bargaining, and killer music.
