Season 3, Episode 6: Adrian Harewood + Waubgeshig Rice

No matter what Brandon says, there are skeletal deer out and about, and they ain’t going away.

With bonus text appearance...

Season 3, Episode 5: KT Bryski + Cortni Fernandez

Spirits are trying to break into the bunker! Are they friend or foe? Meanwhile, we discuss panel kaiju and pro wrestling with Tracy Townsend and John Wiswell, and how not to hold a Hugo Award like a penis. Plus Brandon gets a cookie delivery on air!

Season 3, Episode 4: Tracy Townsend + John Wiswell

There’s a kaiju attack on the city! (Again? Come on, monsters.) But we’ve got plenty to keep us busy, as we’re joined by Nebula-nominated games writer Phoebe Barton and Scotiabank Giller Prize-nominated horror author David Demchuk. Come eavesdrop as we discuss 1930s sci fi, propagandizing tech, municipal fantasy, and more!

As the animal uprising threatens to tear Ottawa apart (but who can blame them, really), we’re joined by both halves of the Shale Project, Avi Silver and Sienna Tristen, to discuss living through tough crap, fixed mindsets vs growth mindsets, sales pitches for Tides of Numenera and Hades, and being parents to reptiles. Welcome back...

Season 3, Episode Zero – Co-Host Interrogation!

Brandon has regained control of the transmitter, with just enough power to report on something NEW in the bunker.

Check...

Season 2 Finale! w/ KT Bryski and Erin Rockfort

Despite various warnings and portents, Evan is still sequestered in the deepest corner of the bunker – with even more buttons!

Brandon reports in from the primary control room, where EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY FINE. Don’t worry about the alarms.

Continuing from our first chat with them in Escape the Fall...

Season 2, Episode 5 – Amal El-Mohtar and Alan Neal

Evan has retreated into the “other” control room, and no one knows where Brandon is. But that’s okay, because Evan has a chair that swivels and the rest of our conversation with Marie Bilodeau and Mark Robinson. Join us as we discuss how many times Mark has almost died, how Marie avoided getting kidnapped, and...

Season 2, Episode 4 – Part Two w/ Marie Bilodeau & Mark Robinson!
