The House that Tad Ghostal Built
@ghostpod.house
An upcoming podcast retrospective on the animation history of Adult Swim, by Glitch Tatham @birdtypeglitch.bsky.social and Quinn Welsh Wilson @monkipi.bsky.social
Quinn and I are thrilled to have the first major turning point of the project visible on the near horizon, and at the approaching prospect of releasing episodes for listeners to enjoy.

Looking forward to sharing more with y'all as it becomes available!

In the meantime, we'll announce a release date in the next 1-2 months (fingers crossed). We're waiting until we feel we've got enough of a backlog edited to keep our hinders thoroughly covered in case of scheduling disruptions.

Cartoon Planet will be a short diversion that will occupy the rest of February and some of March, and then just a we're just a very short sprint away from starting our Season 1 coverage of Adult Swim!
February 14, 2026 at 10:09 PM
Next we're going taking a short break from C2C to record the start of our Patreon bonus episodes, our coverage of Cartoon Planet. With Brak's increasing presence in the show, it seems like critical content.

Covering 54 episodes of a TV show (even if they're usually only 15 minutes), researching and contextualizing about half as many guests, and summarizing nearly four years of world history is no small feat and we're really proud of our work!
February 14, 2026 at 10:09 PM
Cheese and crackers, this is an exhaustive thread! Thanks so much for the headstart here.

Quinn and I are really hitting our stride with this project and can't wait to have Season 0 edited and ready to start sharing.

Ghost Pod, signing off!

What I CAN share is that we have archival footage of the first broadcast night of Adult Swim at a whopping 5 hours and 45 minutes, commercials and bumpers and all baybee. Season 1 Episode 1 is going to be dedicated solely to the premiere night experience.
November 16, 2025 at 9:39 PM
We've got a bit of time before we're at that point so the exact structure of format from Season 1 onward is something that's still in a constructive phase, and we don't have enough of it finalized to share much about our plans going after that.
November 16, 2025 at 9:39 PM
After this we're going to shift to our coverage of Adult Swim proper with Season 1, which we'll begin working on after Season 0 is fully edited and has started releasing. We haven't yet determined if this will be weekly or bi-weekly.
November 16, 2025 at 9:39 PM
Since Season 8 of Coast to Coast is split between the pre-and post-Adult Swim era we'll only cover the two pre-Adult Swim episodes during our coverage on Season 0 Episode 7. This is currently where it's most likely we'll delve into the show's production history and profile the creatives behind it.
November 16, 2025 at 9:39 PM
At 11 episodes, Season 5 will most likely take 2 recording sessions and be covered in two parts.

Season 6 is one that Quinn and I (Glitch here) aren't sure on yet. At 8 episodes it's right on the line between trying to do all our coverage in one episode vs splitting it into two. TBD.

*This was going to be a footnote gag but I forgot to do it when writing this thread, and now I can't remember what the gag was. I'm sorry I let you all down, and I ask that you respect my and my family's privacy during this trying time.
November 14, 2025 at 4:40 PM
That's about al we have available to cover for the moment, we're both excited about the ongoing work and to have our work making it to your ears as soon as possible!
November 14, 2025 at 3:19 PM
We currently push to maintain a weekly recording schedule (to mixed success, we are both busy adults with a variety of grownup obligations), with plans to have a full season in the hopper before we release episodes. We currently plan to stick to a seasonal release format going forward.
November 14, 2025 at 3:19 PM
Quinn's side of the research game is currently focused on the guests of SGC2C as we make our way through the pre-AS era of the podcast, which we go over during the recap/review portion of each episode.
November 14, 2025 at 3:19 PM
Along the way we'll also occasionally dive into production history and examining the cast/crew of the SGC2C and later Adult Swim era productions.
November 14, 2025 at 3:19 PM
Our goal is not just to provide context for future jokes that may reference real life events, but also to provide context for the lead-up to and fallout of 9/11, which happens VERY shortly after the September 2001 launch of Adult Swim.

"Concurrent Events" is a segment where I (Glitch) recap world events that took place during the selection of episodes, with a research-based "Deep Dive" into one topic in particular.
