Podcasts about The Last Story

Join Braden, Chris, and Adam as they discuss Hironobu Sakaguchi's The Last Story, including a brief recollection of Project Rainfall and what it was like to talk about JRPGs on the internet approximately 14 years ago. It's not all horror stories though, as they also cover the game's unique approach to combat, its non-unique approach to storytelling, and why basically no one talked about it after release (hint: it's Xenoblade's fault.) Our hosts found a game they actually enjoyed for once, which is good since the next game they're playing is going to be an absolute nightmare.  Please consider donating to the National Network of Abortion Funds: abortionfunds.org/donate If you've been enjoying the podcast, please consider supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/DeepListens If you like our new art and want to commission some of your own, reach out to Tyler at tylerorbin.net

If Joe Rogan can become the most powerful podcaster in the world just by talking to his friends about random bullshit then we're legally allowed to do a podcast episode that's just Braden, Harley, Jatzu, and ZP vaguely talking about Netflix shows during an internet stream of The Last Story.

Send us a textAlong the towpath, the battle between winter and spring has begun with days of warmth and days of sleet. Although even the young ducks teach us a lesson in conflict avoidance. Join us tonight as we celebrate the lives of two people who were central to the creation of Nighttime on Still Waters.      Journal entry:12th March, Wednesday.“The day winds down.A last walk along the canal side.Pebbled rings form in the open water.A kick of sleetDrives against my face.Captivated by the golden sunShining through rain mist.Such unimagined golds.Behind meA pale rainbowBows and fades to such majesty.” Episode Information:This episode is dedicated to the memory to two people without whom this podcast would not have been created: Michael Goode and Clifford DeHaven. Among many things, Clifford was a great musician. One of his musical incarnations was as 'Mournful Hornet' which seemed to capture his offbeat character and heart. You can hear him on SoundCloud. I also read the words of Meg Kara (Poetic Meg). With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Gabriela Maria Rodriguez-VeinotteKevin B.Fleur and David McloughlinLois RaphaelTania YorgeyAndrea HansenChris HindsDavid DiromChris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

For more than four decades, he wrote stories relentlessly confronting the mob, corrupt politicians, and greedy bureaucrats. As a result, he was often threatened—enough that he and his friend and fellow investigative reporter, Arthur Kane, sometimes joked about reporting on these threats if they were ever acted upon.Then, in the spring of 2022, German received a tip about abuses at a little-known county office. His subsequent investigation unearthed a scandalous, sexually incriminating video of a rising politician. The resulting stories in the Review-Journal ended the man's political aspirations.BookYou can meet Arthur Kane tomorrow, at 7pm, hereBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

True Crime Tuesday presents:  The Last Story: The Murder of an Investigative Journalist in Las Vegas with Journalist/Author, Arthur Kane!   Jeff German, a veteran Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter, was no stranger to controversy or the danger of his work. For more than four decades, he wrote stories relentlessly confronting the mob, corrupt politicians, and greedy bureaucrats. As a result, he was often threatened—enough that he and his friend and fellow investigative reporter, Arthur Kane, sometimes joked about reporting on these threats if they were ever acted upon. Then, in the spring of 2022, German received a tip about abuses at a little-known county office. His subsequent investigation unearthed a scandalous, sexually incriminating video of a rising politician. The resulting stories in the Review-Journal ended the man's political aspirations. Less than six months later, on September 3, German's lifeless body was discovered outside his home with multiple stab wounds. His dedicated newsroom colleagues, including Kane, vowed to find the killer. In doing so, they exposed the true depths of corruption and malice in Sin City. On today's  TCT, Arthur Kane, the author of "The Last Story..." joins the show to talk about his unique relationship with Jeff, who Jeff German really was, the circumstances that got an extremely tough mob beat reporter killed, and how this reporter even transcended the print game to make his bones in another medium posthumously, winning national awards!  Get your copy of "The Last Story..." here:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/1960332473 Check out Arthur Kane at this website:  https://wildbluepress.com/the-last-story-arthur-kane-true-crime/ Check out Art on social media: x:  https://x.com/ArthurMKane PLUS DUMB CRIMES AND STUPID CRIMINALS!

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

What goes up must come down, and nowhere is that more true than with our latest topic as the gang looks back at the series' first major multiplatform release, Sonic Heroes! This follow-up to the Adventure duology had a lot of interesting ideas that stumbled in execution thanks to an infamously troubled development cycle, and is seen by many as the start of the series' downfall. Can our hosts sort through their mixed feelings and find this game's redeeming qualities, or is even the real super power of teamwork not enough to salvage this one?

Wait! Don't! The sharks! They– Eeeehh! The PikeCast finishes out a trilogy that we began way back in episode 16 by digging into Christopher Pike's 1995 book Remember Me 3: The Last Story. As it had been prophesized, Grady Hendrix, author of The Final Girl Support Group, My Best Friend's Exorcism, and Paperbacks from Hell, has returned, fulfilling his destiny to complete this trilogy, with a book that bears almost no resemblance to either of the books that came before it, and seems obsessed with the idea that a best-selling author could literally save humanity with their stories.

In this episode, I review the five books that I read for the month of January - SPOILERS! The Last Story of Mina Lee by Nancy Joyoun Kim, Why Fish Don't Exist by Lulu Miller, An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good and An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed by Helene Tursten, translated by Marlaine Delargy, and The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki Special thank you to AD for recommending Why Fish Don't Exist! 2022 Book count so far: 5 books, 1612 pages *Link mentioned: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: suicidepreventionlifeline.org
