Thank you for this promo email #Disney.

Isn't this like saying, "because you watched The Godfather 2, you might also like The Godfather"?

Also, I still have three episodes left.

“What’s the point of doing something unless you can tell the whole world?”

Unfollow Vol. 2: God Is Watching by @robwilliams71.bsky.social & Mike Dowling. Fewer threads, sharper focus—but are all characters pulling their weight? Hear the breakdown before next week’s finale.

“What if all we are is swept away by something that wants nothing?”

This week, Mike & Alex dive into Unfollow Vol. 1 by @robwilliams71.bsky.social & Michael Dowling—140 strangers, 1 tontine, and a dying tech mogul. The setup’s strong… but do we know where it's going yet?

@alyssamilano.bsky.social, @foundinthewild.bsky.social,
@collinkelly.bsky.social (AKA
@hivemindactual.bsky.social), @marcusto.bsky.social & Ian Herring.

Far less idealistic than vol. 1, social media begins its decline

This was pretty fun for an intro episode. No spoilers for the series, but we openly lament the rise and fall of Twitter, Facebook, and others.
Today is our introduction to our summer theme, focusing on the slow decline of social media into it's modern dystopian form.

This book continues to surprise me. It's a teen coming of age story in space, but it's so much more. Any time you encounter a trope or gets subverted.

Words cannot express my excitement for this discussion...although hopefully words will suffice since it is, in fact, a podcast.
Today is our intro to Deep Cuts from @imagecomics.com
The variety of stories, storytelling, & art may introduce you to jazz or even a sub-genre of jazz that you've never explored. You'll see some of the great up-and-coming artists. Discover new music & art in the same book!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains positive mentions of the state of Ohio... Ohio is often embarrassing on the national stage so it is refreshing to talk to a fellow Ohioan about a shared love of indie comics. And to see that our state is capable of producing great writers!
We are very excited to share our interview with writer Matthew Erman (@matthewerman.bsky.social )

We discuss the creation of #GolgothaMotorMountain and the messiness of the comic industry. You don't wanna miss this!
