There’s a bit of news in the world of The Eye of Argon, which, as I have previously discussed, is enjoying an expanding universe. The story has always been that Jim Theis, author of Argon, only wrote that, before the blowback to it destroyed in him forever the wish to create. That’s sort of true,… Read More Grignr Emerges From The Grave in ‘The Sacred Crest’
If you’re one of our Patreon subscribers, you’ve had access to this episode of the Shallow & Pedantic Podcast for a little while. But if you’re not, why then… here it is. The habit now is to bust these episodes into smaller increments, less-than-an-hour: We are expecting to record a new episode this weekend, so… Read More New Old Podcasts: Shallow & Pedantic does the Second Dune Movie
It was bound to. For this tenth episode, I focused in on a single topic, rather than doing a series of ten-minute segments. That’s what most podcasts tend to do. It might be more sustainable going forward. The internet is a research tool and all of that. The shift over from anchor to Spotify for… Read More The Podcast Returns!
This begins Volume 8. It can be accessed in the following ways: Sure, but what’s in the thing? Glad you asked! We talked about it in the most reason episode of the Shallow & Pedantic Podcast: Happy reading, y’all.
The most recent Shallow & Pedantic Podcast was a two-parter on The Eye of Argon, famously the Worst Fantasy Story of All Time. We read the story, and we talked about it. In the first part, we laughed long and loudly at the madness of the story, its logorrheac prose combined with its dearth of… Read More Poking the Eye of Argon
There is nothing that I enjoyed so much in my youth and abandoned so thoroughly in my adulthood as Transformers. I still have a box of toys that I collected well into early adolescence. And then, quite suddenly, I just decided that they no longer mattered. I’ve never seen a single Michael Bay Transformers film.… Read More Transform and Roll Out
Here’s a Podcast: We had this recorded last month, and of the 2 hours+ we recorded, this is the stuff that was actually about the ostensible topic, Neil Gaiman. I think we went over the edge on this one. The rest of the merry nonsense is going up on a “Bonus Episode” for Patrons, which… Read More Neil Gaiman Goes Over The Edge, Caligula Goes into Rewrites, and The Journal Still Has No Name: An End of July Update
Recorded the new Shallow & Pedantic podcast last night, and put it up today. What a masterpiece of efficiency! It’s mostly us gibbering about which of Cannon Film’s vast vault is actually worth watching, and several times blaming them for Chuck Norris’ film and TV career. But we had fun. In other news, I’ve uploaded… Read More Let’s Have Another Cup of Podcast, Let’s Have Another Slice of ‘Zine
Anchor does this thing where you can record and build podcast episodes on the Anchor web site, and intercut Spotify-licensed music. I’ve done two episodes this way: This one has precisely 1 listen.Here’s the one I did last night: It has no listens. This is because it can only be listened to on Spotify, so… Read More Stupid Podcast Tricks and New Old Magazines
My goal for this site is to be less of a blog (although it will remain that) and more of a publisher. By which I mean, there will be works published here, for people to read. Right now it’s a free-with-donations-accepted model. I’ve got the first volume of Unnamed Journal up in that way, I’ll… Read More New Content, Old Blues
