Sorry for the late release, but it was a blast talking about scary movies with @glitterburrito.bsky.social of @bloodybroads.bsky.social for this Halloween Week.

The most important thing is understanding that I am a very big coward and therefore had to nod and smile a lot

Hey folks - so no new episode this week. With work travel and Halloween I just didn't get it organized and I didn't really have a topic for a minisode

I think the schedule is going to get intermittent through the New Year as a heads up and that will give me a chance to think on the format some more

as a newer listener still catching up (too many emergency coaching podcasts this year), @jacketdan.bsky.social i really like where you are going with this, and could relate a lot, and honestly would love to hear you. flesh this out more with a guest!
This is much therapy as me making a point. Not sure how often I'll do stuff like this, but funny enough indepedent of knowing this was a discourse today I decided to engage in the discourse today

Hey folks - solo episode this week as travel didn't allow for finding a time to record with a guest. Hopefully this jumps some of you off to talk about RPG's, CCG's, mini-games, etc. with me

DM's @jacketdan.bsky.social are open!

Ever wondered what it is like to sit in my class when one of my lectures goes way off the rails?

Good news, @jacketdan.bsky.social captured some of that spirit with me on the episode of @wthupod.bsky.social that dropped this morning.

Also we don't get into it, but lord if this was made today would the wrong types of folks be so pissed about Roadblock and Scarlett

Programming notes because I have both work and personal travel coming up for the next week and a half

Out today - The Goonies with @the-core.lol

Next Monday (10/13) - G.I. Joe "Arise, Serpentor, Arise" with @hooverstreetrag.org

Monday 10/20 - Solo episode about tabletop gaming
This one FLEW by. Will be out next week!
Very excited to have wrapped up a conversation this morning with @jacketdan.bsky.social for "What's the Hold Up".

In true Michigan man fashion, I came with two pages of notes. When you discover what we talked about, this becomes even more "We have never told a joke" and much much funnier.

Was a blast talking about class warfare, children swearing, and the slow ravages of time with @jacketdan.bsky.social
New week and a new episode! This one really fits the theme of the show as @the-core.lol had never seen Goonies and now they will let her stay in Oregon for the foreseeable future.

Loved this conversation. Got into some things about Battfleck (and I think @diedrichbader.bsky.social’s performance on Harley Quinn, as well) that makes Batman more interesting and worth exploring. I’m a BatFamily fan and the idea of a world where they’ve ALL stopped talking to him intrigues me.

You know how I know that I'm not a good marketer? It didn't even occur to me until this very moment to point out that I have a podcast about this topic

A fact that is in my username

Did I select the episode image based on Kevin Conroy being front and center?

no, second grade teacher, I never did shut up.
and now it’s part of my career.

(Thanks for having me on, Dan!)
This was the episode where it felt like it was somewhat official this format could work. @glitterburrito.bsky.social came on and we talked about seminal zombie film Dawn of the Dead for at least a solid hour.

Recording this is a bit like speaking tongues. I don't always remember what I said even once it's over.

So I just listened again and there's stuff I could flesh out more, but I like my start on this
