We're back! Cam's got a new career, but two careers, but... well you'll understand. Some chance meetings and hard work have put us in position to do things we never dreamed of. Here's the story of a San Antonio kid fulfilling a lifelong dream!
Cam's a year older and does some reflection on carrying trauma, trying to find happiness, and getting out of your own damn way.
Join the wave! twitch.tv/ceehawk It's been too long! Here's a quick recap of what's been happening the last few months, where this whole thing is headed, and really how we went from reading magazines in stores to writing for the damn things! AND THIS FRIDAY AT NEW YORK COMIC CON https://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en-us/explore/panels/panel-information.html?gtID=746937&panel-name=WIFN-The-Beauty-of-Blackness-in-Professional-Wrestling
On this review episode, Kendria and Travis dig into another section of chapters of book three of The Land. Our steadfast MC goes from having a cathartic night full of joy, acceptance and honoring the dead, to being assassinated and sent to respawn in one of the worst, most painful ways imaginable for a man. The village leaders supported Richter in his revenge plot and even provided him the means to pull it off. Richter asked for more and now owes a favor to a forest, spirit wolf! We find out what the rewards are for defeating opponents nearly double your level. The loot is certainly exceptional. Running from a 15 foot Rock Giant with a healthy stamina pool is so unfair! @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)

Picking right up where book two left off, what is our MC going to doing about the two new prisoners captured while he was away? Randolphus is playing a diligent chamberlain role, but is there more to him and if so, what? Why is Richter so determined to explore the catacombs beneath his place of power alone? Krom gets his magical forge and it is heavenly! After dozens died in the bug bear attack, Richter extends an emotional olive branch and the entire Mist Village is better off for it. @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)
After a few weeks off, the guys talk about more fallout from the Capitol Insurrection, Biden's goals to unite the country, the joke that is the stock market, who's going to win the Super Bowl, and two of the most fascinating people adjacent to pro wrestling.

In this pilot episode, Nina and Kim lay the groundwork for their still in progress show. They talk about what made them want to do a podcast, the topics they plan on discussing, and much more. Any feedback is appreciated, so please email southkongress@gmail.com with any questions, comments or opinions you may have!
The guys get together on the first show of the new year to talk festivities, white folks committing treason, Trump getting banned from like... everything, and losing a mutual friend.
The guys get together for the final show of the year to talk about the highs and(mostly) lows of 2020, what they've learned about themselves and others, resolutions and goals, dealing with wrestling twitter, and of course, the wrestling Otaku.
On this week's review, Rich and Trav discuss the battle for "æsahættr" in the Torre degli Angeli! This lightweight fight was between one of our plucky main characters, Will and weirdo knife wielder, Tullio. Will lost two fingers in the fight signaling he is the new bearer of the knife. Giacomo Paradisi guides Will through a crash course in being the bearer. Giacomo also doesn't give the spectres the satisfaction. Boreal creeps on Mrs. Coulter. Will assures Lyra they will get the Alethiometer back together. @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)
*note - a portion of the interview was cut due to the inclusion of people who have recently dealt with threats and harrassment* In this interview, Cam talks with Andy Nemmity, one of the owners of the wrestling blog/brand WrestleJoy. They discuss the start of the blog, and whether the perception of the brand is fair or earned, and if it's something that can continue. They also discuss Andy's infamous retweet and accompanying comments, whether or not he understood the weight of his words, how he responds claims of racism, understanding how Twitter digests errors, and of course, "literal dinosaurs".
On this episode of the pod, Travis complains about the writers making "his" Lyra look dumb and once again not using the roadmap the books provide. Mrs. Coulter forever wins best actor of the episode recognition! Her and Lee Scoresby's scenes though not book canon, worked tremendously well. Serafina Pekkala vows her witches will make the Magisterium pay for their crimes. Lyra's odd reaction to eating movie popcorn! @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)
The Ddust Pod is back in action for episode two of the second season, recapping The Cave. Lyra and Will travel to Will's world where Lyra is promptly side swiped by a car. Not learning her lesson, she runs around a strange city in a new world like a bit of an idiot. Will checks on his mother, visits her lawyer, and learns he has grandparents right up the block. Lyra visits a museum, runs into Carlo Boreal, and meets scientist, Mary Malone! Mary Malone is the best and Travis gushes and praises her casting relentlessly. Why are the TV writers making things harder on themselves when the book gives them the guide they need? Pantalaimon being jostled in a backpack comes to mind! Your emails answered. @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)
This week, the guys talk about their Thanksgiving experiences, Tyson vs. Jones and Nate Robinson's fall from the rim, Trump financing his Ls, and Cam's early impressions of the Clubhouse app.
After 10 long, daemon-free months, Richard and Travis are back reviewing His Dark Materials for season two! This season finds our mains in a whole new multiverse in a city called Cittagazze. Lyra meets Will and immediately puts him in an armbar! They become allies and explore the adult free city and learn about something called, "Spectres" that may explain where all the grown-ups are. Meanwhile, Mrs. Coulter tortures a captured witch to get answers and angles herself to stay in power with the Magisterium. We meet another queen witch, Ruta Skadi and learn that she may be the baddest, most skilled witch of them all. @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)
In this final section of book two, Kendria and Travis complete the dungeon quest along with our MC to unlock his second power. In the process Sion was forced to relive his worst memory over and over again to find answers and help the party move on. We get a very compelling backstory with it that fills in Sion's personality for the readers. Richter plays the part of dutiful best friend while also tricking an angel and a succubus into helping him. We also find out which power Richter decides to unlock! A voicemail is answered and speculation of Yoshi's parentage runs rampant. Ken recommends books to read during the hiatus and Trav recommends a cool podcast to tune into. @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)
On this episode, Travis and Kendria fall head first into a time worn dungeon to follow our main characters. A dungeon dive that has an entire party involved as Richter, Sion, Yoshi, Alma and Daniella make their way through. This section contains 13 days of an in-story dungeon crawl that saw battle after awesome battle! Undead was the name of this game, Fades, Draughs, and a level 29 Crypt Mistress! Less emotional than the last section, but just as violent, our heroes fight the undead and score some fantastic loot! Listener emails answered and speculations are speculated on! @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)

(57:57).
Travis and Kendria are back again discussing Aleron Kong's, "The Land: Chaos Seeds" book series. This time we are talking about book two in the series, "Forging". Travis unsurprisingly has a time travel theory he thinks the prologue gave away. The story picks up right where book one left off. Richter gives a gift and receives an even better gift in return. Sword training with a sadistic trainer is no fun, but learning Life Magic from a life mage is. Richter plants a heavenly tree, revitalizes an entire race of beings, conjures his soul familiar and parties hard all in a day's work! @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)

Dealing with racism and bigotry against non-humans and how that affects Richter and especially Sion. So many quality friends and alliances made in this section as well as the groundwork for Richter's magical arsenal. Richter finally thinks about home and why that was so important. @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)
