The Letters Page

A simple episode... about machines? Sort of? Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:55 We dig into the past of the Order of the Simple Machine, both in comics and in our creative process. We reveal things we've never before said publicly! And then we make up new stuff, too! Join us next week for a live show! We love it when people ask questions live! Genuinely!

Let's Bust some Bunks! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:08:17 Oh no, another long one! Well, at least you get a number of villains out of it! And a couple issues! And a bunch of letters answered! So, pretty usual fare.  This story certainly didn't land at the time as the writer hoped it would, and would be remembered largely for the big robot suit fights. But hopefully you enjoyed the story! That's certainly one of our main goals. Join us next week for an episode about your favorite Wraith fighting your favorite Order of the Simple Machines! (We're pretty sure you don't have any other favorite Orders of the Simple Machines. Pretty sure.)

But just who are the April Fools, anyway? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:28 We (and just who is we are in unclear) do some goofs, tell some stories, and read your letters! It's just a totally normal episode!  Join us next week for more normal episode times, in which we record an episode about the Bunker Busters!  

We don't want to bug you, so please bear with us... Show Notes: 1:48:49 Adam and I kick it off with talking about how we haven't done a good job with Bugbear... and the ultimate result by the end of the episode is this cover, so, take that as you will.  Regardless, we definitely do a bunch of Bugbear work, and answer a bunch of Bugbear letters! Hopefully everyone has a better feel for the character now! We're about to head into April! Hold on tight!

Another live show! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:06:07 Over two hours?! Yes, but just barely! Look, we had a lot to go through, and that makes us all smartthinkers, don't you think? Here's the upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, April 1st: Episode #314 - Writers' Room: A digital foe in a digital realm Tuesday, April 8th: Episode #315 - Writers' Room: Bunker Busters Tuesday, April 15th: Episode #316 - Writers' Room: Wraith vs the Order of the Simple Machines Tuesday, April 22nd: Editor's Note #90 SCIENCE Tuesday, April 29th: Episode #317 - Writers' Room: A Day in the Life: Benchmark We finally get through a backlog of questions from a very smart thinking listener, and we also take a pile of live questions from the chat! Join us next week for a Bugbear story!

We're number 1! Or, at least, the issue this episode is about is #1! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:29:29 Hey! It's time to introduce a character who has been around for a long time but we've barely talked about! No, not Ra. We've said so much about him. Instead, we finally talk about Calypso! (And just in time for the upcoming Bugbear episode...) But before that, join us next week for a live show! Are you on The Patreon? You should be! Join us!

Vampires! In March? I guess so! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:25 We get to do a bunch of storytelling things in this story that we've wanted to attempt for some time and haven't really had the opportunity to do so. Does this episode mark the beginning of a new era of The Letters Page? Well, I wouldn't go THAT far. But we did have a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy the story! Join us next week for a Writers' Room episode about Calpyso and Ra!  

More Scions?! Sounds like a bad idea... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:57:01 We have a few ideas, but we're also creating mostly blind, which is often how we like it! We make up some Scions (and hint at others) and then answer a bunch of questions! That's how these things go! Join us next week when we kick off March with a Prime Wardens story... with vampires!

We're back and we're live and we're gonna say a bunch of things! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:05:00 We haven't talked much this month about love and/or romance, but that ends now! We're making this happen! Or, at least, we're gonna take a swing at it! Here's what we'll be talking about next month! Tuesday, March 4th: Episode #311 - Writers' Room: Prime Wardens vs the Court of Blood Tuesday, March 11th: Episode #312 - Writers' Room: Calypso vs. Ra Tuesday, March 18th: Editor's Note #89 Tuesday, March 25th: Episode #313 - Writers' Room: A Bugbear Story Love, meta things, meta-meta things, and more! In just over two hours! What more could you ask for? Join us next week for a Scionic Creative Process!

What bizarre vision have we crafted this time?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:08 Man, the story on this one came together QUICK! Especially for something that we knew so little about at the start. Pretty cool! And good thing, too, as there were a BUNCH of follow-up questions from a recent episode about a particular future... Join us this coming Friday for a live show! Want to watch live and even join in the live chat? Consider joining our Patreon!

K.N.Y.F.E.! No Punch! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:49:09 We may have bit off more than we can chew with this one... but we'll do our best!  Actually, it turned out really well, in our opinion, making us stretch as creators and also making Paige Huntly stretch as a character. Success! We're into February now, so 2025 is well under way, and we've got a lot we want to do this year! Bear with us! (pls help) Join us next week for a Disparation Writers' Room about a modern hero reimagined to fit the Golden Age! Who? How? WHY?! ... Who can say? Time will tell. Catch you next time!

Come and hear tell of our PROPHES1ES! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:44:12 This one ran pretty long AND I tried to skip the banter at the beginning (entirely unsuccessfully) AND we didn't even cover every little bit of what we wanted (which we get into in the episode) AND we tried to speed up in the second half (with only marginal successful) but it's a big topic, and we've been percolating on parts of this one for a long time. I'm very happy with the stuff we came up with, and it's fertile creative soil for more, certainly! We're recording next week's episode — Episode #308 - Writers' Room: K.N.Y.F.E. can't just punch her way out of a situation — TOMORROW, on January 29th, as I'll be out of town on Friday, our normal recording time. So get your K.N.Y.F.E. questions in now NOW NOW!

We were live for the first time this year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:51 Lots of goofs, silliness, mistakes, apologies, answers, justifications, and ridiculous listener interactions (encompassing interactions that are ridiculous AND listeners who are ridiculous — you know who you are), all of which means: it's another Editor's Note! Thank you all for being a part of this. We also announced the upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, February 4th: Episode #308 - Writers' Room: K.N.Y.F.E. can't just punch her way out of a situation Tuesday, February 11th: Episode #309 - Writers' Room: Disparation: a modern hero in the Golden Age Tuesday, February 18th: Editor's Note #88 Tuesday, February 25th: Episode #310 - Creative Process: Other Scions of OblivAeon Also, we had another installment of the Yarniverse from our industrious listener Kyrie Wynne! Featuring... Vis-yarn-ary! Craft-ain Cosmic! The Darn-gent Adept! and Weave! We love them. Join us next week for yet another Creative Process episode! About a distant future limited series? What could that possibly mean?! You'll just have to listen to find out!

These two need to calm down. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:04 We come out the gates swinging with this one, telling a tale we didn't necessarily expect, including characters we hadn't planned for! And then we also read your letters! Woo! Join us this coming Friday for a live show, that is, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon!

It's snowy and cold, but it wasn't when we recorded this! The passage of time is astounding! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:44:00 We make up a few villains, as is our way, each of a different sphere of Tempest's interest and influence. The first is one we've apparently talked about before, though folks forgot, including us as well! Anyway, we talked more about her than ever before, so I'm happy with that. The other two? Entirely new stuff out of various fields which you may or may not expect. Hopefully it's a good listen! We certainly enjoyed it. Join us next week for another episode, this one a more typical Writers' Room sort of thing! What about? Why, Bloodless Wraith and Haunted Fanatic, of course! Just normal cheerful January stuff! See you then!

Welcome to 2025, everyone! Did you think you would get a mini-sode on Tuesday, even after we expressly told you we would NOT be posting such a thing?  Well, so did we! Unfortunately, The Fates had other plans, and Trevor was laid low by the throat of strep! Thus, you get this lil snippet a couple days later. But it still counts! Instead of a very end of 2024 mini-sode, enjoy this very beginning of 2025 mini-sode! And even while sick, Trevor managed to outdo himself on the audio on this one. Wild. That guy. He's gotta take a break at some point! That's what we want! Anyway, we shall get back to normal episodes next week. Until then, keep running. We'll catch you... WE'LL CATCH YOU! 

Is The Scholar simply having a wonderful Christmastime? It doesn't look like it... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:27 A Christmas tale on this Christmas Eve, but unlike the standard fare! We did a lot of prework on this episode so we could just get right into the telling, given the challenge of a holiday tale of a... less cheery sort. So, far from the longest episode this year, but also far from the shortest! Happy holidays, everyone! See you all next year!

The last live show of the year! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:26:04 Here at the end of the year, we cover so many different topics! Certainly a wide variety of things, and not a singular focus... Anyway, here's what we're talking about at the start of next year! Tuesday, January 7th: Episode #305 - Creative Process: Tempest Foes Tuesday, January 14th: Episode #306 - Writers' Room: Bloodless Wraith and Haunted Fanatic Tuesday, January 21st: Editor's Note #87 Tuesday, January 28th: Episode #307 - Creative Process: Distant Future Limited Series Join us next week for an episode about Santa Scholar! What could that even be?! Who can say? With time, you will know.

Necrosis is gross! Can Akash'Thriya do anthing about it?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:10:34 The shortest episode we've recorded in a long time! But not because we short-change the story or anything; it just turned out that way.  This coming Friday is our last show of 2024! Come join us for an end-of-year Editor's Note! Everyone on our Patreon can watch, and Contributors can join in the live chat. We hope to see you there!

Let's get STICKY! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:56 Will this be the final moment of Setback?! How can he survive such a defeat?!?! You'll just have to listen to find out! We've already recorded next week's episode about Akash'Thriya and Necrosis, but the following week will be the last Editor's Note of the year, followed by a Santa Scholar holiday episode! If you're at PAX Unplugged this weekend, come by and say hi! We've got a booth with Flat River Group, and Paul and Matt Kroll and I will be running a COMPILE tournment all day Sunday! We hope to see some of you there!

Wait, this is a Creative Process? But then why does it have this cover...? Show Notes: Run Time: 2:37:13 Yup, another 2+ hour episode, and you'll hear why once you start listening! We definitely set out to make a Writers' Room, but it ended up being a bunch of lightning round Writers' Rooms! Whoops? Sorry? (Not really sorry.) Do we answer the question of "Who is Deathfiend?" Yes! And no. But also yes? Listen and learn more! Get your questions about Setback and The Adhesivist, and also Akash'Thriya and Necrosis! Those episodes are coming up in the recording schedule SO VERY SOON!

Good morning, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:53:03 A long Editor's Note! What is happening?! And it's not just because of the frankly-not-good-radio unboxing at the end of the recording! But first, the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, December 3rd: Episode #302 - Writers' Room: Setback vs The Adhesivist Tuesday, December 10th: Episode #303 - Writers' Room: Akash'Thriya vs Necrosis Tuesday, December 17th: Editor's Note #86 Tuesday, December 24th: Episode #304 - Writers' Room: Santa Scholar Tuesday, December 31st: No Episode! End of year break! And that'll bring us right up to 2025! Thrilling! We'll be recording both Episodes #302 & #303 Wednesday of next week as a result of holiday times, so get your questions about Setback, The Adhesivist, Akash'Thriya, and Necrosis all in ASAP! Please! Join us next time as we ask the age-old question: just who IS Deathfiend?

A long episode for our three-hundredth! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:38:08 A big episode, indeed! We come in with a hint of a plan, tell a couple stories, and then go to the Letters section, where we tell even more stories! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can join us this coming Friday for a live show! And if you're not on the Patreon... consider joining? It's a great time! Check it out!

Let's get Rambly! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:? This one is a DOOZY! Rambler, Biomancer, even GloomWeaver?! And we come into it cold and do it all live?! Spooky month, indeed! We hope you enjoy it — we certainly did! Next week is a live show, so consider joining our Patreon at any level so you can join us live! Contributors can be in the chat with comments, questions, and more!  And, most importantly, don't forget to VOTE!

The Delusional Comedy! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:16 Guise is back! And he's extra ridiculous! As per usual! We find our hero in unexpected realms accompanied by a mysterious guide and dealing with Guise's worst nemeses: the consequences of his own actions. How horrible! With this episode, we wrap up the spooky month of October... and move into the even spookier month of November! Send us questions for next week's Episode #299 - Writers' Room: Rambler vs Biomancer!

So many things to talk about! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:41 We cover a bunch of topics before even getting to the schedule! Including these yarn fellas! OmKnitron-X: The Savage Hook-a: FaKnitic: Updates on Crochet-Ranger: And then, we get to the schedule! Here it is: Tuesday, November 5th: Episode #299 - Writers' Room: Rambler vs Biomancer Tuesday, November 12th: Episode #300 - Writers' Room: Villains during OblivAeon (Justice Comics #738) Tuesday, November 19th: Editor's Note #85 Tuesday, November 26th: Episode #301 - Writers' Room: Who is Deathfiend? Also! Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition is coming to the world of video games! Help Handelabra make it happen! Join us next time for Guise! In hell! It's episode #298!

He's a man... alone... nowhere and nowhen... and he's got a metal arm... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:38 This one shot hearkens forward to the Time Trust One-Shot that we recently discussed, but that's just how life works sometimes! Just seems like it's the season of La Comodora and Chrono-Ranger and friends, I guess! We tell a tale that involves a few tales, and then we answer your letters! And then talk about a cover! As is tradition! Before all that, we talked about an item (or items, rather) that I'd gotten in German from the fan one one particular nocturnal (he's not actually nocturnal) serpent (again, probably not technically a serpent). Do you want to see them? Show up for next week's live Editor's Note recording, and I'll show them on camera! Available to all Letters Page Patreon members at any level! Something to look forward to, for certain. Until then, keep on saving the Multiverse, everyone!  

Wait, not Darkstrife AND Painstake, Darkstrife VS Painstake?! Oh no... Show Notes: Run Time: 2:04:55 AND it's another long one?! Man, that must have been a helluva recording day. (It was.) We make up some new people, some new lore, some new mythos... look, we've gotta let loose once in a while, y'know? We also read your letters and answer your questions! The normal stuff! We're excited to talk to you about La Comodora's First Appearance soon, as well as a live show soon after that! Send us your questions!

In space, no one can hear you control the weather... Show Notes: Run Time: 2:00:09 Another two hour episode? Must mean we were recording two episodes in one day again! (That's exactly what happened, in fact!)  Welcome to the first of two spooky months! I hope you're ready for so many spooky times! (And some non-spooky times, as well.) This one we really went all out for, in terms of crafting a tale wholecloth on the air. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Next week's episode (which is about Darkstrife and Painstake) is already in the bag, but definitely send in questions for La Comodora's first appearance AND the upcoming Guise in hell episodes! And if you're going to be in Essen, Germany this weekend, come by our booth in Hall 2 and say hi! I'll be there running games of Defenders of the Realms and/or Compile!

The Southwest Sentinels? From Sentinel Comics?! In this podcast?! You'd better believe it! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:19 We talk about a bunch of issues, story arcs, events, and characters! But then we do also tell a proper Writers' Room style story. And Adam drew a WILD cover! Awesome.  We're about to record two episodes this coming Friday, so send us your questions about Tempest, horror in space, Darkstrife and/or Painstake! Thanks for listening and being part of the Multiverse!

We we're owned before we even started. We're number... something embarrassingly low... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:39:32 Trevor managed to grab some audio from the streaming video from before we started recording, so you can hear a bit of just how we were not just one-upped, but several-upped. What a world. And that's not all that happens this show! There's so much more! Even the telling of our upcoming schedule for the first of the spooky months! Upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, October 1st: Episode #295 - Writers' Room: Tempest horror story in space Tuesday, October 8th: Episode #296 - Writers' Room: Darkstrife vs. Painstake Tuesday, October 15th: Episode #297 - Writers' Room: La Comodora's first appearance Tuesday, October 22nd: Editor's Note #84 Tuesday, October 29th: Episode #298 - Writers' Room: Guise goes to hell We'll be recording two of those episodes in the same week. Which two? Episodes #295 AND #296! Get your questions about Tempest, horror, space, Darkstrife, and Painstake all in ASAP! And then? Questions? In the form of letters? And also the form of messages in our Discord?! You better believe it. Next week is Episode #294 - Writers' Room: Southwest Sentinels #31, so also send in letters about those friendly fellows and their foes! Please do! See you all next time!

It's about time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:26:49 We've told parts of this tale before, but never the whole thing at once, and some of it has never come up before! Also, we talk a bit about temporal positioning, including the when/where/whom of The Chronoist! And, as is the usual thing for us, we answer many questions about a recent past episode. Which one? Benchmark foes! Naturally — he's the new standard, after all. Join us this coming Friday for a live Editor's Note! Editor's Note number 83, in fact!

Two issues? What an ideal number. Should would be a shame if someone came along who wanted THREE things instead... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:33 Finally, you get to hear the story we crafted when we recorded this episode AND the Benchmark foes creative process... and I don't feel like this episode ended up much shorter! Sure, it's shy of the two hour mark, but only by a bit, and there's still plenty of tale told in the episode! Plus, who doesn't love more Dr. Kronz?  Join us next week for a Writer's Room about the Time Trust one-shot!

It's the first Creative Process in a long time! Will this become some sort of new standard?! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:36 This is the first of two episodes we recorded in one day, and we inteded to go through it (and next week's episode) quickly to make two in one day possible... but look at that run time! Geeze! Well, we probably learned our lesson for next week. Time will tell! We talk a bunch about the sorts of foes that Benchmark faces and make up some new ones! And also answer many questions! We already recorded next week's episode, but as we mention at the end of the episode, the following week we'll be talking about Time Trust, so get your questions in for that story now!

Another live show?! In the same month?! Wild. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:41:22 A fun time was had! Plus, we told some true tales, like what we'll be talking about next month! Upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, September 3rd: Episode #292 - Writers' Room: Sky-Scraper and Fashion team-up Tuesday, September 10th: Episode #293 - Writers' Room: Time Trust Tuesday, September 17th: Editor's Note #83 Tuesday, September 24th: Episode #294 - Writers' Room: Southwest Sentinels #31 Glorious! Join us next week for Episode #291 - Creative Process: Benchmark Foes!  

Welcome to another live show, this one featuring live real trumpet playing by Trevor! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:13 A noir-style episode! We had costumes, the afore-mentioned trumpet-playing Trevor, cool(?) accents, and even a smoke machine! There were very cool cosplayers, as well! And even more silly accents. And some live surprises! I was attacked and wrapped up in bubble wrap!  It was a great time. Gen Con live shows are always a blast, and thanks to so many of you for being there and helping make it awesome! Next week is another live show, Editor's Note #82! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for that recording!

Hello, everyone! We were at Gen Con last week, and boy are our arms tired! We had a tremendous live show that went so well, mostly in thanks to Trevor's impressive skills and the audience's excellent participation. Adam and I were also there! Do you want to hear how it went? Good news! Next week's episode will be that very recording! Join us for that, followed by a live recording for our Patreon folks! JOIN US!

Gen Con is upon us! But first: another Legacy story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:28 This is a fun one (we say that a lot) because even though it's about Legacy, it's not a Legacy-as-the-main-character story. Plus, we get to do fey stuff. SPOILERS! Anyway, short notes this time because I'm writing these in between doing booth setup stuff AT GEN CON! See you soon!

The pre-Gen Con editor's note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:24 We are experiencing physical and psychic aches and pains! A variety of different damage types have been dealt to us! Thus is the way just before Gen Con. I explain "chin tucks" which makes for terrible radio, but here and here are some better explanations! Tuck your chins! (Unsurprisingly, I'm super into people having healthy spines — even more so than would be typical for your average spine-haver!) We, uh, also get into talking about Taco Bell? Look, it's the week before Gen Con, OK? Here's the upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, August 6th: No episode: we're at Gen Con Tuesday, August 13th: The Gen Con Live Show! Tuesday, August 20th: Editor's Note #82 Tuesday, August 27th: Episode #291 - Creative Process: Benchmark Foes Then, we answer questions, from far and wide! From letters and from chats!  Next week will be our last episode before our lil Gen Con break! It'll be Episode #290 - Writers' Room: "A Time of Peace". Get your questions in for it!  

Another Legacy episode, but younger! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:22 We're feeling the pressure of the looming Gen Con. Are you gonna be there? Will you be at this event? We hope so! Also, we talk about the Compile livestreams I've been doing lately with two Matts. Check them out on our Twitch channel! Next week's episode is an Editor's Note, which means we'll be doing a live recording this coming Friday, July 19th, at 11 AM Central! If you're a member of The Letters Page Patreon, you can join us! Please do!

Back from the dead?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:39 We got a [redacted] for Gen Con! Aren't you excited about our [redacted]?! We are! We dive into the history and backstory of Skeleton Key, and then tell some stories, even! What a creepy fella.  Don't worry, we've got more Legacy coming soon! Send us your Legacy questions!

Welcome to July! Let's kick off this Legacy month with the most Legacy book of all time! Front Cover: Back Cover: Entire Wrap: Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:33 Adam really outdid himself with the cover, and we craft the story that leads to such a cover over the course of this episode! That's how these work! 

We're off to another world!  Show Notes: Run Time: 1:52:48 We hit the ground running with this one, and I've got IDEAS! Do they pan out? Wait and see! Another thrilling tale from the pages of Disparation, just in time for July, which will be mostly about Legacies... and Skeleton Key, I guess? Thanks everyone for listening! If you're interested in more, check out The Letters Page Patreon here!

Good morning, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:39:10 We've got new branding! Thanks to the amazing art of Adam and the terrible tenacity of Trevor, our website and icons all look better than ever! We've never looked this great before. July has FIVE Tuesdays, and we'll be releasing episodes on each of them!  Upcoming schedule:  Tuesday, July 2nd: Episode #287 - Writers' Room: 4th of July Special: Legacy meets the ghost of George Washington Tuesday, July 9th: Episode #288 - Writers' Room: The Death and Life of Skeleton Key Tuesday, July 16th: Episode #289 - Writers' Room: Young Legacy vs Baron Blade Tuesday, July 23rd: Editor's Note #81 Tuesday, July 30th: Episode #290 - Writers' Room: "A Time of Peace" Turns out, people really like Legacy? So, get ready for a Very Legacy July here in the summer of 2024. We answer so many questions from your letters and from the live chat. Want to be a part of the live chat? Interested in submitting topics, and then voting for what we talk about? Consider joining The Letters Page Patreon! It's pretty great! See you next week for the last episode in June, all about the Disparation story where Kismet ruled the world!

W-w-w-w-w-w-wipeout!! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:50 That's right, we broke the two hour mark. Again. Sorry! If it makes you feel better, it's because we did an entire limited run of a comic book title! I'll bet you'll never guess which title, though... If you're on the Letters Page Patreon (and if you're not, why not?) join us this coming Friday at 11 AM Central for a live recording of Editor's Note #80! Which will be next week's episode! But, I highly recommend being there live, if possible. We might just have some secret plans...

I'll bet you'll never guess which villains are the dueling stars of this episode. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:34 The day of recording was Adam's Birthday! And then, this most recent Saturday was Intergalactic Same Age Day! Did you all enjoy being suddenly and inexplicably 40? Pretty great, right? Heck yeah. Anyway, now everyone is back to their just and proper ages, and it's time to talk about two villains who are mad at each other. Rest assured, this is an ongoing feud! They continue to dislike each other right up to the end of the Multiverse... and beyond! Join us next week for Episode #285, a story all about Wipeout!

SIX issues in the title?! Yup. Show Notes: Run Time: 2:05:11 Another episode that cracks 2 hours... we didn't set out to tell this much of a tale, but we were on a roll! Plus, we quite like this villainous foil for our beloved Tyler Vance. We also get to questions. A friendly reminder! Please, try to keep your letters UNDER 5ish paragraphs. If you've gotta go over, make it for a good reason. We believe in you! You write great letters! You can do this! We just want to hear from as many people as possible, not just giant letters from a few folks. Sorry to be a bummer about this!  Join us next week for the first episode of June, 2024! Episode #284 will be a Writers' Room all about two villains who are nemeses with each other! Get your questions in now!

Howdy, folks! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:31 You know the drill! Goofs galore! But first, a schedule! Tuesday, June 4th: Episode #284 - Writers' Room: Two villains who are nemeses Tuesday, June 11th: Episode #285 - Writers' Room: A Wipeout story Tuesday, June 18th: Editor's Note #80 Tuesday, June 25th: Episode #286 - Writers' Room: Disparation: Kismet as High Queen of Planet Earth After that, we get to letters, as well as live questions from the live viewers! Wish you could be a live viewer? You can! Just join the Letters Page Patreon! Join us next week for Episode #283 - Writers' Room: Bunker in SPAAAAAAAAAACE!

She's winging in for some stories! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:57:33 We delve into just who in Fanatic's supporting cast is around in the mid-80s, and find some small hopes, at least! Then, we tell some tales. Fanatic's a complicated character, especially in the 80s.  Then, we answer questions from the recent Greazer and Fashion episode! Yes, we talk about Cardshark and Kaargra Warfang. Join us next week for an Editor's Note... or better yet, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us THIS FRIDAY for the live recording!

We gotta save the planet! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:35 We tell a story... but first, we tell you all the Professor Pollution backstory connecting bits that we'd never bothered to go into before! So, you're welcome! And/or apologies! Depending on how you feel about all that. Anyway, right, then on to the story! You know what ultimately happens in it, but the beat-by-beat is still pretty dang good! At least, in our opinion.  Join us next week for yet another "A Day In The Life" episode, this one all about Fanatic!

The end of the Oracle! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:50 Look how short this episode is! It's not because anything was ommitted — no, we just knew this whole tale, and told it post-haste! Is it a good tale? That's for YOU to decide! We answer some questions from recent and NOT AT ALL RECENT history. Do the questions ripen with age? Or do they rot? Or neither? So many questions in today's show notes. Too many? Who can say?! Join us next week for a Writers' Room about that one time when Akash'Bhuta became Akash'Thriya! Woo!
