Back in 2021, the Hosts met when @cleric20.bsky.social guested on @jonrichter.bsky.social's other podcast, Dark Natter, to discuss 1990 sci-fi horror extravaganza, Hardware 🤖💀

As a bonus episode, we've exhumed the recording so you can hear the birth of a cyberpunk partnership!!

We've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain - but we’ll always have our 10,000 downloads badge:

I missed publication day here for The Escher Man (September 17). Ten years in the writing (and abandoning), and re-writing. It is both surreal and enormously satisfying to finally have it out in the world. Available here: shorturl.at/kCtMx, bookstores, & everywhere.
