Avast, my hearties. It's time to hoist the colors and set sail for an experience that Talk Like a Pirate day really didn't prepare us for. This is Hard Choices, the podcast that ranks the fuckability of fictional characters looking for the zenith, median, and nadir in a given universe, but really, it's about all the timbers we shivered along the way. This month, we're plunging our swords into Our Flag Means Death! Join me, Captain MeganBob, and me hearties Aly Grauer, Mel D'Amato, and James D'Amato as we discuss the difficulty of transplanting hydrophilic polycules to life on land. And we also talk about horses for some reason? And the way cat pee smells? Look, ye lubbers, with a crew this unarguably fuckable, we had to fill time out there on the podcast seas. Check out Hard Choices on social media and on Patreon for news from every corner of MeganBob's boner empire, including updates about the upcoming LIVE Bad Choices - Hanna-Barbera recording on Saturday, April 20th at 5pm Pacific!

Hello! This is Aly Grauer, audio editor and performer on Skyjacks: Courier's Call - an all-ages-friendly actual play and storytelling podcast set in the world of Speir created by James D'Amato. Skyjacks: Courier's Call follows the adventures of June, Kiran, and Cici - three fourteen-year-old apprentices aboard an airship that carries mail across the strange and magical world they live in. For your consideration, this is episode 27 of Skyjacks: Courier's Call, the second episode in our second season, which just started a few weeks ago as of this recording. This is a great episode to jump in on because it tells you a little bit about the three main protagonists, the new location for the second season of the show - which is a canyon city called Tesh Urt - and gives you a flavor of how we play this game. The second season of our show uses the game system of Cortex Prime, but we tend to be more story-based than dice-based. The world of Speir was created by James D'Amato for his podcast Campaign: Skyjacks. Speir is an inclusive setting supporting anti-colonialist, anti-capitalist narratives. The world of Speir was also inspired by the game Illimat by Keith Baker and Twogether Studios, as well as the music of The Decemberists. However, you don't need to know anything about those two things to enjoy the show. We appreciate your consideration, and we thank you for listening.

In this episode we discussed: Writing & Anxiety Writing as therapy Self-doubt Perfectionism Continuous education as mindset work Fluidity in writing routines Unhealthy pressure Kristen Granata is a teacher by day, and an author by night. Known for writing emotional contemporary and new adult romance, she loves creating realistic, flawed characters who struggle through the darkest parts of life and come out stronger on the other side. Kristen is a self-proclaimed “bitter cynic trapped in a hopeless romantic's body.” Her characters pack a sarcastic punch, make you laugh, make you think, make you ugly cry—and they will always live happily ever after. If you're a lover of moving, inspirational reads, Kristen's your girl. Kristen was born in New York in 1986. She lived there for almost twenty years. She attended community college and became a teacher. Despite her passion for writing, and despite her professors strongly suggesting she become a writer, she took the more sensible route (bitter cynic, remember?) After going through a difficult divorce when she was only twenty-nine, Kristen returned to writing. The raw story that poured out of her led her to publish her debut novel, Collision, in March of 2018. Kristen openly shares her mental health struggles with depression and anxiety with her Instagram following. Her message is a beacon of hope to anyone who is suffering: You are not alone. She delicately weaves this theme into her writing, and demonstrates the ability of love to heal trauma. When she's not teaching or writing, Kristen is reading, Instagramming, indulging in her messy love affair with popcorn, and annoying her wife and step-daughters by incessantly singing along to The Greatest Showman soundtrack. Kristen hangs out on Instagram, Twitter, her Facebook page, and her website. Find Kristen's latest release, What's Left of Me, along with her other books here.

Ghostbusters: Resurrection

The Central Florida Ghostbusters' Halloween has turned from the busiest night of the year to a total clusterbust! They dove into haunted springs, went on a savage safari, took the fight to the skies, and endured a lethal case of the creepy crawlies... but this graveyard shift from hell is far from over. With two Druden in tow, the team heads back to the firehouse for a much-needed pit stop at the containment unit. But once they arrive... they find a familiar face waiting for them. It’s time to find out once and for all, who is a friend and who is a foe. Featuring a special appearance by Aly Grauer. Check out her amazing podcast, Warda.
