no idea why this is labeled 'graphic media' - it's just old timey baseball stuff.
A really fun episode of #conversationswithghosts this week! A super Brooklyn vibe for this one, @marcsollinger.bsky.social had a blast researching all the old timey baseball facts.

one of the coolest things about writing Conversations with Ghosts was diving into NYC history. And today, when the city is vibrating with energy and a (different, fake) Dodgers team just won the world series, I'm super excited to share this episode.
We absolutely didn't plan to release this right after the world series ended... but the new episode of Conversations with Ghosts is all about baseball! And the Brooklyn Dodgers! And loss and regret and all that jazz. Take a listen wherever you get your podcasts!

And if you have listened... please leave a nice review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen! (Also, even if we made a trailer just to have something in the feed before we released the first episode... Dan did a great job on the trailer)
If you haven't checked out #conversationswithghosts, the new podcast from the creators of #archive81 - you absolutely should. It's available wherever you get your podcasts, and there's three episodes already in the feed, with a fourth one coming tomorrow.

listen to Pal! And also check out The Harbingers!
Want to recommend two new podcasts here. The first is @dead-signals.bsky.social (Conversations With Ghosts). This is made by the brilliant people behind Archive 81 (still one of my favorite things) and the album Generation Crossing. It is, predictably, beautifully written and acted and produced.

this is a really fun ep!
And with that… we’re off! New episodes of Conversations with Ghosts Every Single Week! This one has a bunch of fun gilded age history, and a wonderful performance by Penny O'Brien.

Thanks so much for the kind words about Generation Crossing, @gejwatts.bsky.social! (And yes, follow Ella's advice, definitely listen to both Generation Crossing and Conversations with Ghosts!)
Ok, so due to Circumstances it took me a whole year to listen to Generation Crossing by @marcsollinger.bsky.social despite pre-ordering the album. In that time Marc and Dan have made a whole new show (Conversations with Ghosts, go listen!) - but since audio drama is perennial, listen...

hell yeah, straddling categories so we get put in our own bucket.
I KNOW I've divided both movies and podcasts into categories that allow me to add more but all those categories ARE different. to that end, generation crossing - a concept album meets audio drama - is going in its own bucket

This #AudioDramaSunday, gonna recommend something a bit different. @mikeduncan.bsky.social’s new season of Revolutions, which is, in a break from every other season… fictional! It’s about a revolution on Mars! And it’s fantastic to explore historical parallels in a sci-fi setting.
