The tavern. It's the start of 23 different campaigns that DM Tony has been in over the last three decades. It's a fantasy adventure trope and gets a lot of hate out there for being basic and unimaginative, but is that necessarily a bad thing? In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave return to our RPG Mythbusters series and test the myth, “Is a tavern the best place to start an adventure?” Will it be confirmed, plausible, or busted?0:49 The return of RPG Mythbusters, all the way back to Episodes 39 and 42.1:56 Everyone knows what a tavern is as opposed to, let's say, a Paladin's Chapel.3:50 Taverns are a historically accurate meeting place; the true “town square.”6:45 DM Dave returns to the Lord of the Rings novel and reminds us that Gandalf drops lore in Bilbo's house for 25 pages. Taverns can be much more organic to reveal the plot.9:50 The tavern affords an easy, stress-free environment to introduce the players and their characters to the story and the world – which can be especially helpful with new players.14:15 Session Zero could be a “tavern” by providing an intro to introduce the adventure.15:40 The type of game can change whether a tavern is a good or a bad idea; in can be a phenomenal time sink.17:20 Our tangent into 7-11 and Denny's being modern-day taverns when we were teenagers.18:10 Implied consent: the unsaid agreement between DM and players that you're ready to go on an adventure for the session.24:55 What type of adventure/campaign are you running? That should guide how and where you're starting.33:08 Lore Tolerance: how Taverns and “In Media Res” starts allow you to control the flow of lore dumps.36:45 DM Chris' idea that combat is the best way to bring characters together: A Band of Brothers. And how DM Dave leaned into this for our Dragonlance campaign.43:15 Final Thoughts: Myth Confirmed, Plausible, or Busted?

No matter what your take on the events that surround the whole covid situation, the one thing that everyone can agree on is that the landscape has drastically changed. For months we were forced into isolation with nothing more than a digital outreach to everyone around us. To say that it has altered a major component of our psyche would be a gross understatement. This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes back a fan favorite and show regular to discuss the new wave of upcoming “sociopaths.” This week features the one and only Rebecca Housel. “Rebecca Housel, Ph.D., known as The Pop Culture Professor, is an international best-selling author and editor in nine languages and 100 countries. Rebecca, listed in the Directory of American Poets & Writers for her work in nonfiction, was nominated by Prevention magazine essayist and best-selling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot, to the National Association of Science Writers for her work on cancer. Rebecca has published with best-selling author of The Accidental Buddhist, Dinty Moore's literary nonfiction journal, Brevity, and with commercial publications like Redbook magazine and online journals like In Media Res. Her recent interviews appear in publications such as the LA Times, Esquire, USA TODAY, The Huffington Post, Inside Higher Ed, Woman's World magazine, and Marie Claire as well as on FOX news, and NBC Dr. Housel currently works on the Editorial Advisory Boards for the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture; she has also worked as a reviewer for Syracuse University Press and Thomson Wadsworth. A writer of all genres, Housel has written and published both fiction and nonfiction in over ten books and 398 articles, essays, book chapters, book reviews, and encyclopedia entries.” Dr. Housel stresses the importance of mental health and that we all should be aware for ourselves and those around us. We cannot express enough that you should never feel embarrassed or that you can't reach out for help. There are always resources available and many people willing to provide them. You can keep up with all of Dr. Housel's work at rebeccahousel.com or through most social media platforms.

There is no eating in the archive. This is not only a practical admonition to any would-be researcher but also a methodological challenge, in that there is no eating—or, at least, no food—preserved among the printed records of the early United States. Synthesizing a range of textual artifacts with accounts (both real and imagined) of foods harvested, dishes prepared, and meals consumed, An Archive of Taste: Race and Eating in the Early United States (University of Minnesota Press, 2020) reveals how a focus on eating allows us to rethink the nature and significance of aesthetics in early America, as well as of its archive. Klein considers eating and early American aesthetics together, reframing the philosophical work of food and its meaning for the people who prepare, serve, and consume it. She tells the story of how eating emerged as an aesthetic activity over the course of the eighteenth century and how it subsequently transformed into a means of expressing both allegiance and resistance to the dominant Enlightenment worldview. Klein offers richly layered accounts of the enslaved men and women who cooked the meals of the nation's founders and, in doing so, directly affected the development of our national culture—from Thomas Jefferson's emancipation agreement with his enslaved chef to Malinda Russell's Domestic Cookbook, the first African American–authored culinary text. The first book to examine the gustatory origins of aesthetic taste in early American literature, An Archive of Taste shows how thinking about eating can help to tell new stories about the range of people who worked to establish a cultural foundation for the United States.

Colin Woodard's new book Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood (Viking, 2020) tells the story of the struggle to create a national myth for the United States, one that could hold its rival regional cultures together and forge, for the first time, an American nationhood. It tells the dramatic tale of how the story of our national origins, identity, and purpose was intentionally created and fought over in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. On one hand, a small group of individuals--historians, political leaders, and novelists--fashioned and promoted a history that attempted to transcend and erase the fundamental differences and profound tensions between the nation's regional cultures. America had a God-given mission to lead humanity toward freedom, equality, and self-government and was held together by fealty to these ideals. This emerging nationalist story was immediately and powerfully contested by another set of intellectuals and firebrands who argued that the United States was instead an ethno-state, the homeland of the allegedly superior "Anglo-Saxon" race, upon whom Divine and Darwinian favor shined. Their vision helped create a new federation--the Confederacy--prompting the bloody Civil War. While defeated on the battlefield, their vision later managed to win the war of ideas, capturing the White House in the early twentieth century, and achieving the first consensus, pan-regional vision of U.S. nationhood in the years before the outbreak of the first World War. This narrower, more exclusive vision of America would be overthrown in mid-century, but it was never fully vanquished. Woodard tells the story of the genesis and epic confrontations between these visions of our nation's path and purpose through the lives of the key figures who created them, a cast of characters whose personal quirks and virtues, gifts and demons shaped the destiny of millions. Colin Woodard is a New York Times bestseller writer-historian, and journalist who has reported from more than fifty foreign countries and six continents. A longtime foreign correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor and The San Francisco Chronicle, he is a reporter at the Portland Press Herald, where he received a 2012 George Polk Award and was a finalist a 2016 Pulitzer Prize. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, Smithsonian and Politico. He is the author of American Nations, American Character, The Lobster Coast, The Republic of Pirates, and Ocean’s End.

This emerging nationalist story was immediately and powerfully contested by another set of intellectuals and firebrands who argued that the United States was instead an ethno-state, the homeland of the allegedly superior "Anglo-Saxon" race, upon whom Divine and Darwinian favor shined. Their vision helped create a new federation--the Confederacy--prompting the bloody Civil War. While defeated on the battlefield, their vision later managed to win the war of ideas, capturing the White House in the early twentieth century, and achieving the first consensus, pan-regional vision of U.S. nationhood in the years before the outbreak of the first World War. This narrower, more exclusive vision of America would be overthrown in mid-century, but it was never fully vanquished. Woodard tells the story of the genesis and epic confrontations between these visions of our nation's path and purpose through the lives of the key figures who created them, a cast of characters whose personal quirks and virtues, gifts and demons shaped the destiny of millions. Colin Woodard is a New York Times bestseller writer-historian, and journalist who has reported from more than fifty foreign countries and six continents. A longtime foreign correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor and The San Francisco Chronicle, he is a reporter at the Portland Press Herald, where he received a 2012 George Polk Award and was a finalist a 2016 Pulitzer Prize. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, Smithsonian and Politico.

Colin Woodard's new book Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood (Viking, 2020) tells the story of the struggle to create a national myth for the United States, one that could hold its rival regional cultures together and forge, for the first time, an American nationhood. It tells the dramatic tale of how the story of our national origins, identity, and purpose was intentionally created and fought over in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

MKE x CHI’s SleeperSound latest release, In Media Res, finds the band crawling into crates of experimental rock, noir indie folk, ambient obscurities, and eclectic imports to create a unique statement on American guitar-rock. Sleepersound started as a solo project by David D’Antonio (guitars, vocals, synths), and was chosen by him to “invoke the desire to awaken ourselves gradually and ajar from existential slumbers that make us aloof to each other and our world.” Sleepersound developed from a previous project when David was rooted in St. Louis and Chicago — the latter where David was born and raised, coming to Milwaukee by way of Chicago, then Naples, Italy, and St. Louis. Guitarist Kenny Buesing is from Sheboygan, currently in Riverwest, Milwaukee. Drummer Dan Niedziejko grew up on the south side of Milwaukee and lives just outside it, in Cudahy. Bassist Mike Campise grew up in Chicago and now resides in Milwaukee as well. In Media Res is a Latin phrase meaning, “In the middle of things.” The sequence of songs – “Give to Time,” “Passengers,” “Gravity Well,” b/w “Terminals,” “Slow Moon,” and “Error Tape” – “all focus on the journey from life into death,” Mike says. “An exploration behind the veil of existence and into the realm of our place in the larger mechanism.” “Convergence, too,” Dan adds. “Things starting while in the middle of other things but coming together to form something new and putting other things to bed.” In Media Res was made of compositions documented, produced, and performed in drummer Dan Niedziejko’s studio, Indian Not the Arrow. The icy winds from Lake Michigan seem to blow through the six chapters, the songs are augmented by the esoteric talents of producer Kramer at Noise Miami, a true collaborator with such avant-garage bands as Galaxy 500, Low, Bongwater, Daniel Johnston, Ween, and Saeta, among others. You can hear both the original Krautrock but also the basement show-equivalent from the more elegant instrumental math-rock bands inspired by them in the 90s. Tune into WMSE’s Local/Live on Tuesday, November 20th for new music from Milwaukee’s Sleepersound. WMSE.org to stream live or in the archives or simply tune your radio to 91.7 FM in the Milwaukee area at the 6 o’clock hour.

This week Zach is joined by Mike Krause to discuss the thirty second episode of Smallville, "Visage." This marks the return of two characters from the first season, Whitney Fordman and (spoiler) Tina Greer! This was one of our favorite episodes back in the day and one of Smallville's most quotable, but does it hold up?

This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster to discuss the thirty first episode of Smallville, "Skinwalker." This is an extremely important episode in the mythology Smallville as it introduces the Kawatche caves which go on to play a HUGE role in the series moving forward. We talk Ancient Aliens, the implications of Kryptonians and Kryptonite being on Earth before Clark, favorite movie quotes we like to use as often as possible in real life, and much more. We also take a few minutes to discuss the Dakota Access Pipeline, a social injustice close to my heart and a controversy which has parallels to this episode that are too strong to ignore.

This week for the first time in an episode discussion, Zach is joined by multiple guests! Craig Byrne (webmaster of Kryptonsite and K-SiteTV) and Matt Truex (from Lois & Clark'd: The New Podcasts of Superman) to discuss the twenty eighth episode of Smallville, "Lineage." We amaze at Clark using heat vision to make toast, Lucas Luthor being arguably the series biggest dropped ball, all things Patrick Cassidy, Lexcorp, and of course...Sheriff Ethan's sideburns. We're jumping all around the Smallville timeline in this episode of Always Hold On To Smallville!

This week Zach is joined by Matt Latham from The Bottle Episode to discuss the twenty seventh episode of Smallville, "Redux." This episode has a unique production history as it was filmed during the first season, after "Tempest," and aired sixth in the second season. This lead to MANY continuity errors that we of course have fun pointing out. But the fun doesn't end there! Despite compelling guest stars, interesting themes, and plot set-ups for future episodes, "Redux" fails to live up to its potential and is generally considered one of Smallville's worst outings. An overcrowded story (at least FOUR simultaneous plot-lines) and one of the most ridiculous freaks of the week of the entire series will do that. We grew a lot older during this episode of Always Hold On To Smallville! Matt has been reviewing Smallville season-by-season on his website www.bottleepisode.co.uk, covering the first 7 seasons so far.

This week Zach is joined by KSiteTV's Ian Gildersleeve to discuss the twenty sixth episode of Smallville, "Nocturne." Ian is the author of KSiteTV's Beauty & The Beast episode reviews, a series which has several Smallville connections including star Kristin Kreuk and executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders. It also has some striking similarities to this episode (the first Peterson and Souders wrote for Smallville). We talk Ian's Superman and Smallville fandom, his love for Beauty & The Beast, an interesting theory on how this episode could tie into the Veritas mythology from season seven, and much, much more!

This week Zach is joined by Mike Krause to discuss the twenty fifth episode of Smallville, "Red." This marks the first (and best) use of Red Kryptonite on the series and welcomes writer Jeph Loeb into the Smallville family. Loeb is a prolific comic book writer, and was a huge get for the series. Our conversation touches on Loeb's work in comic books, class rings and when you're actually supposed to get them in your high school career, and if it was implied Clark and Jessie...well, you know.

This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster to discuss the twenty fourth episode of Smallville, "Duplicity." The series went deep into the thesaurus for the title of this episode where Pete learns Clark's secret! Our discussion hits on the role of Pete in the series, Lana's second season self taking root, tying up old plot threads from season one while launching into new ones, and would you REALLY think Clark's ship from Smallville was a spaceship if you found it in a cornfield? A cornfield that no one visited and had no maintenance for over three months apparently. We're not keeping any secrets in this completely honest episode of Always Hold On To Smallville!

This week Zach is joined by Daniel Proulx to discuss the twenty third episode of Smallville, "Heat." Episodes where Clark gains a new ability are always fun, and this one especially so. We talk the look of Smallville's heat vision, the prevalent awkwardness throughout the episode, the time Zach was set on fire, and how breaking up with your long distance boyfriend at the end of a video letter from all this friends kind of ruins the entire thing.

We're back! Much like Smallville itself, we've returned from hiatus to discuss the twenty second episode of Smallville, "Vortex." To kick off our second season coverage, Zach is joined by very special guest Craig Byrne, webmaster of Kryptonsite and K-SiteTV and author of several companion books on the series. Craig tells us his long history covering television dating back to the Lois & Clark days, and we go on SEVERAL tangents throughout our conversation but they're well worth it as Craig is a venerable fountain of knowledge when it comes to the series, and we had a lot of fun talking not only "Vortex" but really all things Smallville. What planned cliffhangers were dropped in "Tempest"? What second season episode was filmed BEFORE "Vortex"? DID Clark fly in the tornado? What alternate castings would we have liked to see on the series? All this and much, much more!

This week Zach is joined by Matt Truex from Lois & Clark'd: The New Podcasts of Superman to discuss the twenty first episode of Smallville and the first season finale, "Tempest." As with all first time guests we open up discussing Matt's Superman fandom, his thoughts on Lois & Clark and Smallville overall, then jump into talking "Tempest"; from annoying Superman references, the ages of the main characters (they're HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN) and Matt's Green Arrow costume, we have a lot of fun discussing what is in my opinion Smallville's best episode yet! We cap it all off reading listener email and bidding you adieu for a month or so. Just like Smallville did after this episode...I'm going on hiatus!

  This week Zach is joined by Daniel Proulx from Trek.fm to discuss the twentieth episode of Smallville, "Obscura." We talk Daniel's Smallville fandom and his love for the series' Lois Lane, then dive into our episode discussion where our topics of conversation include the stubbornness of Jonathan Kent, Whitney as the prototype for the current CWverse "first season boyfriend" and of course the first appearance of the infamous octagonal disc!

This week Zach is joined by Nancy Petru to discuss the nineteenth episode of Smallville, "Crush." We lead off the show reading more iTunes reviews and listener emails then jump into our main conversation in which we discuss one of the series' most recognizable guest stars in Adam Brody, ponder the mechanics of a hit and run car accident resulting in such specific hand injuries, and rant a bit about Heroes. And if you're cover band in need of a name, we think we found one for you: The Wrong Kwan.

  This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster to discuss the seventeenth episode of Smallville, "Reaper." Off the top of the show we respond to some listener feedback, reading iTunes reviews and emails, then jump into discussing what is one of the series' most frustrating episodes. There's no denying the freak of the week plot here is one of Smallville's worst. Still, "Reaper" contains life lessons that are truly worth holding on to and in fact the one scene of the entire series that most resonated with Zach.

This week Zach is joined by Tyler Patrick from Krypton Report: The Supergirl Podcast to discuss the sixteenth episode of Smallville, "Stray." As fellow Superman aficionados, we nerd out for the first 25 minutes or so discussing Tyler's Superman and Smallville fandom as well as a random tangent here and there. Truth be told there's more than a half hour of conversation I left on the cutting room floor, so maybe I'll release an "Ultimate Cut" someday.

This week Zach is joined by Matt Latham from The Bottle Episode to discuss the fourteenth episode of Smallville, "Zero." Matt is our first guest from across the pond, so we spend the first few minutes discussing the logistics of watching an American show in a foreign country, as well as his history with Smallville and the comic book genre in general. Points of discussion include Tom Welling's finest moment yet, Lex Luthor's never-quite-altruistic motivations, and Matt walking us through TvTropes' breakdown of the episode. Matt has been reviewing Smallville season-by-season on his website www.bottleepisode.co.uk, covering season 1 and 2 so far.

What do Shakespeare, Steinbeck, and Spielberg have in common? Well, aside from the obvious alliteration of their names, these men are all considered to be great storytellers. Regardless of the platform – on stage, print, or screen – they, like so many other writers, have captured the attention of audiences around the world through engaging stories. In his book The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories, Christopher Booker asserts that nearly every story ever written can be broken down into one of seven fundamental narratives. It may seem depressing at first but that story you’ve worked so hard on has been told before and will be told again. Fret not!

Anna: And, I’m Anna. Alex: And, today, we’re going to be talking about elements of storytelling you should be using when making a company video. But, before we jump into the tips, we first need to make sure that you know your story. Anna: Everybody has a story including businesses and it’s more important today than ever to convey your story because I don’t know about you but I feel like my generation has grown up mistrusting a lot of corporations, a lot of businesses so it’s important to know who you are and convey that to your audience. Stories come in many forms for businesses whether you have a story behind the product you’re selling, the services you’re providing, the information you’re offering, it can span a whole variety of things; so, it’s important to know who you are and who your demographic is. So, Alex, why is video the best way to tell your story? Alex: Great question. You may be thinking there’s a million ways to tell a story. You can do an article, a blog, photographs; but, why is video best? Video appeals to the senses. You know, it’s a way of mixing the images, the sound and everything altogether to engage people. You want to grab people’s attention and you want to hold it and videos do that better than anything else. It’s also a way of drumming up emotions. You know, videos make us feel things. It’s either happy, sad, excited, scared, who knows; but, it’s a great way of, you know, making those emotions come out in people that you get better than, you know, say an article or a picture and the real key is to make sure that those emotions that people are feeling are the emotions you want them to feel in the video. Without further adieu, let’s jump into Tip #1. Anna: There are many techniques used in film and we’re going to take some inspiration from one of our recent favorites and old favorites, Star Wars! So, stories don’t have to be in chronological order. Often, starting in the middle of your story is the most engaging and then you can go into the intro and then conclusion. Event videos are one of the best ways to use this technique and it’s actually called In Media Res. Instead of showing like setting up and, you know, the whole crew putting the plates and all that stuff down to your film footage of the event itself, you’re seeing the people, the music, the energy that the event brings. It’s more engaging to actually see the event itself. [Listen to the entire episode for more and subscribe, today!]
