Returning guest John Strohm (Blake Babies, Lemonheads, Antenna) has a strong personal connection to the record he chose to discuss, the stunning 1995 debut of Minneapolis band Polara. As a close friend of the bands founder, beloved musician/producer Ed Ackerson who sadly succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 2019 at the age of 54, John was right there during the recording sessions lending a musical hand where needed.

These following episode cover chapters 23-25, but this one is mainly focused on Chapter 23. be cause we dive deep on what this story has been building to for a long time: The Confrontation of Seth and Thomas. We explore what we think of the confrontation, why it happens at all, why Seth is interested in Thomas, speculations about Seth's intentions for the wendigo, and more. The ending may surprise you!

The last of our commentary on chapters 20-22, including: Fascinating details and references that observant new and long term readers will pick up on Frankly, Frank and Li Harry Arlington, coming into her own Changes between the original story and the most recent version of Chapter 22 as released in the Arlington Audiodrama, Remastered.   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is 'Carry On' by fun.

Discussion on the fact that our podcast is not only informed on by School of Movies, but that our work is improved by learning from it. Thomas and Sarah's backstory: what it means in terms of plot and larger narrative And finally, our dissection of all the reasons Thomas was reticent to reveal these truths. We got a little off track discussion things that aren't directly Arlington episodes, but hopefully it all feeds into a greater whole.   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Take Control" by The Old Gods of Asgard (Poets of the Fall)

Our topics include: More delving into the psyche of Seth; what his actions say about him The Book of Raven The Book of Douglass The clash between Thomas and his would be mentor/inspiration The politics of the era and how some things seem cyclical The Politics of White Supremacy Also, we get a heck of an unofficial visit from Sarah Skeels-Jungius, the after-podcast filled with conversation about their recent wedding, and her potential future insight into the world of New Century!

This is it. The beginning of the end. Technically we start with Chapter 17, which is still in Part 2 in the novel. But as we get into, we do have our own relevant theme for the final nine chapters of Arlington, which for the purpose of our show will be divided into three sets of three. Today we start with Chapters 17-19, Decent. The Book of Carl The Book of Seth The Book of... Dracula? (The answer may surprise you!)   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Black and White" by Sarah McLachlan

Today's Episode is titled Dr. Sean Riley, or How We Learned To Stop Overthinking And Love Bob Chipman's Performance. But seriously, today we talk about: The reasons why we love the character and speech of Sean Riley Toby's specific reflections on what his speech means to him as an academic The feelings evoked by Eli Roach, and discussion of the etymology of his name Outtakes! And most importantly,, time taken out to specifically shout out our fellow creators at the Fireside Alliance, which we had not really mentioned before now since our fanbase is already a subset of Alex's, and those folks are already in the know. But among the stuff we called out: Leftover Army Monsters - Tremors: https://soundcloud.com/user-752223467/lom-tremors Loki Sucks D*ck (Montressor Media): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWqO1_jJAtxlqB3Gd8PofstBBRVzZY-m7 The Chippa Made This: https://chipmanbros.libsyn.com/ Cinemaspection: https://www.cinemaspection.com/   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Take a Bow" by Muse

Once more, a shorter episode than usual, but that's because an incredibly intriguing discussion had to be sequestered to it's own spot in order to avoid potentially spoiling new readers. I don't know how many of those we have, but bear ye in mind: if you have not read/listened through Uncivil Outlaw, stop listening at or before the outro music! This warn you! In the meantime: Our myriad discussion on the magic of Carl and Old Ned Horror Stories on the Frontier: Here There Be Dragons The return to the political thriller in chapter 15, as we start exploring the challenges of the DC team Discussing the characterization of MacPherson and Fisher, and who we fear more And as always, more ruminations on the essential nature of Thomas The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Lorde Post Outro music is "Shout (Instrumental)" by Tears for Fears

Holy shit, we got to act 2 of Arlington! Celebration time! Seriously, as always seems to happen, we focus mostly on Chapter 13 in this episode, so chapters 14-16 will happen later. But there is content! Including: Discussion of how genre mixing, and how music is used to separate out two different moods/stories inside Arlington The White House Meeting How all the leadup and character introduction in Act 1 prepared us for this moment And our brand new segment: Musings on Manticores   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Manticore" by Ninja Sex Party

An unexpectedly short episode. Due to the way we weren't able to finish the topic list in one session, we had a second one to finish off. The session was long, but much of it was content that wasn't New Century related. I didn't remember this, so I assumed I had enough for a 45 minute episode plus outtakes, and ended up significantly shorter. To make up for it, a long involved Outro, plus some stuff that would have normally ended up on the cutting room floor. Future info redacted, so you can enjoy it  even if you haven't read this far. But of the topics we do cover: Family gestures beyond words Our thoughts on the close of Act 1, and what comes next And as for the rest? You'll see.   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Colours" by Phil Collins

The nitty gritty of Chapter 12, where we meet The Swordmaster (but really, in mighty duel fashion, we range all over.) The topics of the day: Frank putting his foot in it The Calm before suddenly, A Manticore The Majesty of Weapon's Lab A and its artisans Further reflection on our master Spy And how really, the title Arlington doesn't refer to Thomas, but the entire family The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac

Trigger Warning for discussion of both fictional and real world police violence. Today we finish off thoughts on Chapter 9 and move well into 10 and 11. Our cast of topics: Speculation on the fact that Truth and Harry are twins Our thoughts on Agent Li as she is portrayed from Chapter 10 and 12 Wondering about how certain choices were made to include historical characters like Annie even though the Wendigo outbreak would dramatically change her story Our thoughts on Raven, both his influences and his role in the story And a brief discussion on the police-led murder introduced in these chapters, and it's basis from the real world history taking place during writing This means that technically, the episode(s?) to come will be primarily focused only on Chapter 12... or will they? The scope of our conversation when picking a range of chapters is often related, after all...

Today we begin to cover chapters 9-12 of Arlington. I say begin, because as always, our first entry always manages to focus mostly on the first chapter (though we do briefly discuss some elements of Chapter 10 as well, so, progress!) Today's topics include: The exploration of Frederick's absence Further discussion on hamartia Thomas being 'the angriest man [Sarah] has ever known' Discussion of the Arlington family, with specific focus on Truth and Thomas At the end, instead of outtakes, we have a sober, unexpected conversation about Toby's relationship with his father, and how it culminated with his unexpectes passing nine years ago. Trigger Warning for frank discussions of familial loss and grief. But if you can hold a space for it, it's a touching stort that we even manage to relate back to New Century, and ponder its relevance for coming up at the time it did.   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro 1 is "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon Outro 2 is "Father to Son" by Phil Collins

And here, the final episode on chapters 5-8. Thus far, most of our conversations seem to run long enough that there is enough material for three episodes. That does mean that it might take longer to get through a book if we keep doing three 45-55 min episodes instead of two episodes of around an hour and a half. But given the erratic nature of our recording, it works to have the content stretch. Today we cover: A brief exploration on British vs. American humor How Chapter 8 is divided - for us - between an entertaining portion and a heavier portion Analysis of Thomas's behavior under stress, and an unexpected conflict with his wife Our analysis and feelings about Colonel Tremaine And finally, a discussion on the naming conventions of Arlington's chapters. This episode also contains outtakes and further conversation after the outro.   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke

As so often happens, the B episode is where we cover the most ground on our assigned chapters! (As a reminder, those include chapters 5-8) Today's topics include: A discussion on the real world Ulysses Grant as well as his incarnation in New Century Further analysis on Sarah Arlington as she interacts with Frank, General Curtis, and why she's the official Deputy Director of the NIA The differences in Frank's relationships with the Arlingtons The frustrating aspects of real world white supremacy and their role in New Century Discussion on the comedic and non-comedic aspects of Calvin Wilson, Jeremy Pines, and Donald McTavish The quote history about Grant: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/02/18/barrel-of-whiskey/ More on Victoria Woodhull: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Woodhull   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/ Through The Wind Door is a member of the Fireside Alliance media network: https://firesidealliance.squarespace.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver

Today, we begin our look into chapters 5-8, though focusing mostly on chapter 5 because of the deep dive it takes into Thomas and The Handbook once more. Our discussion includes: Our first introduction to Truth, and the many roles she holds in terms of connections, metaphors, and her position of authority The beginnings of our analysis of the novel from the perspective of literary tragedy, and a discussion on the nature of hamartia. Thomas's goals as regards the RSA and how the Handbook is a tool to enact them, as well as potential consequences of same And a discussion on the significance of positive and negative elements of Nostalgia.

This episode wraps up our discussion on Chapters 1-4 (though focusing mostly on chapters 3 and 4) and includes our thoughts on: The developing relationship between Frank and Thomas The new dynamic coming from Frank, Thomas, and Sarah all interacting together Learning more about Thomas as a father, rather than simply a leader or orator/writer What 'The Deputy Director' starts to reveal about Sarah as a character More discussions on communication, and musing on how what is revealed explicitly and implicitly about Thomas reflect on his interactions and the Handbook Which isn't to say these topics won't get more play in future episodes. But every story has a beginning, and more conversations will be had as more is revealed.

Further insights as we delve into more parts of Chapters 1, 2 and 3. Today our topics include: The original opening lines of this novel Further discussion on the momentous pronouncement at the end of Chapter 1 The new characters that Chapter 2 and 3 introduce, both historical and fictional How Frank uses his people skills to navigate through these new personalities A careful discussion about certain religious sects and the danger of lauding faith over logic And furthermore, discussion on the dangers of this new world that come from within, rather from without, like the wendigo. Chapter 2 is a breath of fresh air after the intensity of Chapter 1, and help set the stage for things to come in this book and beyond. It's one of my favorite parts of New Century to revisit, so we get into it with gusto.   On the Amish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish On the BLM protest by the 'Amish'. https://anabaptisthistorians.org/tag/black-lives-matter/   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "You Gotta Be" by Des'ree

The second half of Season 4 begins in earnest, as we move into chapters 1-4 of the novel Arlington. These chapters will be covered by three smaller episode in total, and today we get into: A look back on where we've been The connecting thread of how these four chapters introduce our four primary narrators A discussion of Annie Oakley, and how starting with her narration puts us in familiar territory  A change of mood, and a new setting that makes the beginning of the novel line more up with what we learned of the world from the Handbook How from the very first chapter, plot twists occur that throw everything into chaos, and set not only the tone for everything going forwards... ...but also with it's final lines, the novel telling us exactly what kind of story it is.   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Hard Times" by Paramore

Finally, the end. (just of this novel.) As feels right, most of our conversation hinges around the tale of Thomas Arlington's life, what is revealed of it in the Handbook at least. It is autobiographical, so there are details yet to be learned in future books. But for now, we discuss what Thomas chooses to say about himself, as well as what that reveals about his character at this time, and whether the intent of his story is ultimately successful. From there, all our final thoughts from all our Yesterdays in regards to the Handbook. Where it belongs in the reading order, how it stands among other books in the series, and why. Reflecting finally on its place in publication history as the first New Century book, and how things have changed since 2013. With the full context only hinted at in Secret Rooms revealed - we, like the New Century itself - can move forward into Arlington.   The Insidiousness of Root Beer and the Federation: https://youtu.be/6VhSm6G7cVk Remembering Mattie: https://www.oprah.com/spirit/in-memory-of-mattie-stepanek/2   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House  

We cover a lot in this one for only a little over an hour of content! (plus over 11 minutes of outtakes) The stories of Kaufmann, Sadler, and Tudor, and their roles in discussions the technical elements of being a Cartographer. The example set by General Curtis The stories of Chorley, Considine, Blaine and Oakley, and their connection to a greater theme And finally, the stories of Santos and Wilson, and the role of both the Wider world in the Handbook narrative, and how it will play into future books. We're coming down to the end of our story, but even with only a little left, our final episode will be plenty long.   Part 1 of 8 - Bringing Back What Is Stolen - The Avenging Feminine: https://youtu.be/wmR8A1a8shk Why African American's Loathe Uncle Tom: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93059468 Assume the Position with Robert Wuhl (links encompass the story of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Franklin Pierce): https://youtu.be/KDGZ1Mltv8w https://youtu.be/rpvveJcYUeA   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers

Having taken our discussion of the Manifesto components of the Cartographer's Handbook to it's conclusion, we next start discussing the individual stories and what we take away from them. Today's discussion includes: Detailed discussion of elements of the tales of Maggie Struthers, Henry Jackson, James Gregory and Bo Travis the balance between appropriate historical worldbuilding, showing the foolishness of prejudice, and how and if we show empathy for those we don't agree with exploring the concept of justice/punishment/atonement the significance on the ethnicity of the voices of the Handbook, and whether the Cartographers meant to make contact would be diverse or not Death of the Euphemism by Innuendo Studios: https://youtu.be/0dBJIkp7qIg The Thermian Argument by Dan Olson: https://youtu.be/AxV8gAGmbtk   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Changes" by 2Pac Shakur ft. Talent

And so end our final thoughts on the structural aspects of the Handbook. Today we discuss: The issues of freedom/conformity as proposed by the Handbook, combined with Thomas's desire to have outsides voices contributing Thomas Arlington's voice as a narrator/leader vs. that of General Curtis Discussions of how the handbook deals with issues of the supernatural, and why the information of the Wind Door was included as text for the in-universe audience These are not our final thoughts on the Handbook at all, as we have more episodes on the individual vignettes to come and how they speak to the narrative of this world. But we do talk about how the Handbook makes us -the external audience - feel in the wake of everything that has come before, and hints of what will come in the following book. Following the outro is 10+ minutes of outtakes from the last three episodes.

Where the last episode was prologue, now we start getting to the meat of what the Handbook actually does, for the internal audience and us, the external audience. Topics include: The idea of propaganda, and its effect on the displaced peoples of America, and how it might affect the reader. Discussion of the supernatural elements of New Century Transparency, the good and the bad. Do we find the Handbook's arguments compelling, and do we think their intended audience would agree? The Historical Accuracy (ugh) of the N-word's presence. And finally, the tactical purpose of the Handbook's stories, and if they provide the right incentive. And that's just this episode. These simple topics on the framework sprawled, and we'll finish up our deconstruction of the Handbook's intent... next week.   Spoilers for The Hateful Eight The Alt-Right Playbook - Always a Bigger Fish by Innuendo Studios: https://youtu.be/agzNANfNlTs Why is Jesus White, by Muhammed Ali: https://youtu.be/7eXdt1eGgCA   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Faded (Piano Instrumental)" by Alan Walker  

Welcome to Season 4. What was originally going to be four episodes delving into the two major components of the first fictional creation of Alexander Shaw has already sprawled, with Manifesto taking up three episodes total, over the course of two Skype sessions. And we'll see how long it takes us to discuss Dramatis Personae when it happens. But just as before, we find ourselves talking for a lot longer than expected about these books, even with a short book comprising a non-traditional narrative. Before we start discussing where we're going, we start with where we've been. The conversation capping off with a more thorough year in review of Through The Wind Door itself, and how we have evolved since February of 2020. From there we start talking about the influences and context that brought about the structure of the Handbook, and get into an overall synopsis of its constituent parts. And finally from there, discussing the propagandistic components of the Handbook, and why we choose to label it Manifesto. The Cartographer's Handbook is a blueprint and foundation for everything that came after, and pairs well as a prologue to the novel we will continue Season 4 with, Arlington. It's been talked about more than any other novel in the New Century oeuvre, but I hope over the course of the next month, we'll be able to come up with incisive thoughts and fresh takes on it, with the weight and context of the now twelve books that followed. And so, let us begin.   The New Century Multiverse books and audio dramas can be found on: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "How Far We've Come" by Matchbox 20

This is your insider’s guide to practical recreational engineering where I teach you the art and science of building, promoting, and directing off-road races. In this episode, I talk about what strategies you can use to improve your next events registration numbers. How to sell out your race How Pre-Registration Works: Getting an event set up on an event registration site gets your event on their front page, in their search engine, and out on the Internet for your racers to hopefully find. This allows you to generate a cash flow long before your event’s race day. The Pre-Registration Sellout Myth: Popular events have created a huge mythos around the success of online pre-registration. This has created a false impression for most new race directors that think that pre-registration is the end all and be all of getting folks to their races. Unfortunately, what registration websites do not provide you with is a guarantee that racers will actually register early. Low Pre-Registration Fallout: Additionally, professional timing companies (especially the ones with those nice radio frequency identification, or RFID, chips) don’t come to races that cannot attract more than 100 pre-registered racers. But to make matters worse, venues like State and Regional parks also have issues with low pre-registration turnouts. Pre-Registration Tactics #1 – Create a Brand Identity: Create an event name that is memorable, not boring. A customer that can remember the name of your event will most likely remember it nine months later when it comes time to sign up and race it again. #2 – Create Collateral: Develop your own trail maps, event flyers, and branded materials that you can give to racers and businesses. Having handouts — both printed and digital — is a quick way to share your event without having to explain it over and over again. #3 – Have a Real Website: A real event website not only states that you are serious about producing your event but also creates a home for building a branded product. #4 – Create Advertisements: Now it’s time to get the word out to your audience and inform everyone that one of your event dates is approaching (within three months). This is when you open your pre-registration site or page on your website, advertise how early registration can save them money, and add any new info (videos, blog posts, sponsors) to your website. #5 – Open Pre-Registration: If you’ve primed the engine of anticipation with your customer base and determined your graduated pricing levels and change dates, you can now finalize and open pre-registration at least two months before your event. Final Thoughts The Early Promoter Catches the Racer. Proper planning and early management of your event are critical to giving you enough time to effectively change tactics if things start to go wrong. Without the luxury of a time cushion, attempting any of these steps within only a few weeks of your race will most likely end in low turnout or worse, having to cancel your event. If you follow the above five tactics as part of your event management process, your pre-registration numbers should improve. And now you know.
