TWS139: My Other Costume Is A Delurian
PROMOS: Trolljammies.blogspot.com, Imagination Lane’s Giselle, Jim Ryan (of The Great Debate, Every World News & jimyesthatjim.com)
CQ: They say that "clothes make the man". If that’s so, can we not recreate ourselves by changing our costumes, become new people by changing the roles we play. Can we not game the universe? And if so, what does our character sheet look like?
RIP Mac Tonnies, future-thinker, reality-questioner, rising star.
On the show this week:
- We all wear costumes
- Ghosts have no substance, Yeti’s a hairy mess

TWS138: Gee Is For Germany and Gnomes
Promos:
- 7th Son: Descent, the first book in the gripping techno-thriller 7th Son trilogy by JC Hutchins is coming out in print on October 27. The podiobook version of this book was the first audiobook I really listened to, and while I started later than everyone else, I caught up fast. It was intense, edge-of-your-seat fiction based on a very interesting science-fiction premise: what if you could copy someone’s personality and put it into a clone? I’m really looking forward to the print release, and excited for Hutch.
- Imagination Lane: Backroads is a place to find the Alley of Horror podcasts for the season. It’s a dark Alley, and bad things are bound to be found there — at least, I hope so! 😉
CQ: If you could go forward in time, just once, to stay, how far forward would you go? 100 years, 1000 years, 10 000 years, a million years? If you could state it as just after some event, what would that event be?
On the show this week:
- Final Fantasy, part 2012
- Reality, as we know it, is over-rated
- Odds ‘n’ Snots

TWS137: Things That Go Harumph In The Night
Bumpers: Mainframe
Promos:
- Imagination Lane presents: Giselle — I had the opportunity to preview the script for this one — when I was asked to play a role in it. I’m not sure if I’m still in the production (I very well could have been reasonably replaced!), but I’m looking forward to hearing how it turned out. Imagination Lane will be running a number of Halloween horror stories all month, and I’m definitely looking forward to that.
- Jonathan McNeill from Trolljammies — I put out a call for TWS bumpers, and Jonathan produced a spectacular one. Just one of people that Twitter has brought into my (binding?) circle..
CQ: What is the purpose of fear, as entertainment? Is it positive or negative?
On the show this week:
- Life is “but” a Dream?
- I’m Seeing Things, Believe Me, That I’ve Never Heard Before
- Those Things What I Should (And Should Not) Have Done
- Mentioned at Warp Speed

TWS136: The All-Too-Real Scary Edition
CQ: Which is more horrifying: a world in which irrational powers like telepathy and ghosts exist, or a meat-machine world in which they don’t?
Promos played:
- Halloween Haunt — one of my perennial treats for the Halloween season, a collection of stories, history tales, and other things related to Halloween and all things scary.
- The House of Grey podiobook — The final few chapters of this wonderful YA book are coming in, so if you wanted to wait until it was done before jumping in, you might as well start right away.
- Movie Mantras — As much as admire the written word, movies have a lot to do with the way we think about the season. Let’s celebrate the wisdom with a podcast that shaves as close as a blade, yet leaves you smelling as sweet as a horse. (Or, uh, something like that..)
On the show this week:
- Electronic Animaloids
- Mind is so over Matter
- Extremely Interesting
