So I just published a new podcast, and it's very different from my usual fair. Don't worry, it's just a one-off (technically two-off). It's in early access, but it will go release publicly on October 24th. You can sign up for a membership and listen to it right now, or wait 21 days for the full public launch.

If you listen to the podcast in question, a lot of it is self explanatory, but this is podcast of... spooky stories, I guess? My mom had stories of things she saw and experienced growing up, and and they were always incredibly fascinating. So, for a lot of reasons, I wanted to preserve those stories to the best of my ability. You know me, I've always liked a good campfire story -- though as I stress, the way these were told to me, I consider this non-fiction.

I've spent so many years thinking about doing this, and looking at it, and mulling it over. It makes me nervous finally posting it. But it needs to come out. You'll see why. Is it boring? Embarrassing? We'll find out.

So. um. I'm also doing a little bit of a different cadence in this one. Softer. Quieter. I figure it sets the tone. Maybe it's too weird for my voice. Let me know if it works or not.

I'm dividing these up by topic into two episodes. Episode one now, episode two... maybe by December? In some cultures, December is a time for ghost stories, after all.

Please listen to it when it is available to you.

Oh, and: NEW VIDEOS ARE COMING SOON. I know I've been doing a lot of podcasts lately, but with my situation, that's just what's fastest to get out, but I have at least one video in the pipeline right now.

It's my birthday! So for today only I'm taking one of the membership posts and temporarily making it free. I've chosen the Mother 3 podcast.

It's only temporary, though. So listen while you can!

I published a new article on my website, bltn.net, about a game called "Voices of the Void."

If you have a channel membership with me (any tier), you can listen to me read this article, with music cues and sound effects, here:

Reading the article yourself will always be free.

Why a podcast?

The long and short of it is that I don't think everything has to be a full video. I still want to write articles, and sometimes I play a game on my own time, it's very long, and it would take prohibitively long to replay the game in order to get footage. And then there's also the simple fact that I have to be real about the wants and needs about my audience and what they are willing to watch. I've already had certain videos bomb because they were "outside of my wheelhouse." If I want to create something but keep production value manageable, this is a good way to do it.

Also, in the case of Voices of the Void, there's also the chaotic element, too. If I didn't get video of it when it happened as it was happening, I may not be able to get video of it again a second time. So, here we are.

The podcast is also on Patreon, and if you want a 4 minute sample of what the podcast sounds like, Patreon offers that: www.patreon.com/posts/133074975

Patreon also lets you buy individual posts for $3 each instead of doing a monthly sub.

I guested on the Sonic Weekly podcast! It was a lot of fun. We talk about different Sonic game ports and version differences.

I haven't guested on a podcast in like ten years, so I was a little nervous. But it was fun! Give it a listen!

If I finally posted a short road trip video from when I moved in Late October, one with minimal talking, where would you want to see it posted?
