They’re both very much worth your time! Hope you enjoy when you do manage to get to them.
Is there anything we might have missed from 2025 that you would recommend?

This was a fun one to record! As ever, any word of mouth / sharing is very much appreciated.
Apologies for the short hiatus towards the end of the year; we’re refreshed and ready to hit the ground running again in 2026!

This was excellent.
Also, that’s a hell of a way to make a book recommendation! I’ve had two or three Murakami books on my shelf for a good while, including that one, and haven’t got to them yet. Must try and rectify that soon.

Thank you! I was pretty astounded that he was up for it given the attention the game got. I guess it just goes to show that it’s worth asking the question sometimes.
I hope you enjoy it; thanks for taking a listen.

Unbelievably, he actually came on the podcast. He was incredibly generous with his time and gave great answers to my bumbling questions, which I’ll be forever grateful for.
It starts at just after 15 mins into Episode 9 - I’ll put the Spotify link below:

Oh man, yes. I remember hearing Green Grass of Tunnel for the first time and excitedly buying the album but thinking it couldn’t possibly live up to it. Wrong!

Hi! I actually haven’t explored a great deal outside of the two seasons so far, but I’m fairly sure @mwjimmy.bsky.social has. Any recommendations, Paul?

Ah, I see! It’s a fascinating thing really. I have been continually surprised and delighted by the different ideas devs have come up with. They’re not always classics, but almost always interesting at the very least.
