In 2013, Alex Shaw published a small novel called The Cartographer's Handbook, the first in a series called The New Century Multiverse.
The premise is alt history, where post-Civil War America is suddenly overcome with a plague of dangerous monsters that overwhelm the Reconstruction, and bring the nation to its knees. The series is not about its fall, however, but about the heroes that help bring it back from the brink, and step into a wider world that is not the one they knew. New mysteries to unlock, magics to discover, and worlds to explore.
7 years later, the New Century Multiverse is now nine books strong, with more on the way. It has had its first major arc, its first Avengers style coming together of the heroes of its various books...
... and now, its first fan podcast.
Through The Wind Door is a deep dive exploration of those first 9 novels and beyond. Accessible to new readers and long time fans, join Greg and Toby as they share thoughts about this engaging series.

Beyond the Wind Door Minisode - Pokemon
Originally meant to be an outtake, here's a brief snippet of me and Toby discussing my first foray into watching Pokemon media, spurred by a challenge from Nama Chibitty of the School of Movies discord. While a full episode is not forthcoming as I didn't really gel with what I was given, I clearly had Something to say. So here's the entirity of that. Enjoy.
Outro is "Carry On" by Kygo ft. Rita Ora. -

Beyond the Wind Door - Music with Maureen pt. 1
Look, its not a great title. But it's what I came up with.
Lacking other side content to share, I decided to try something new: discussing favorite music with my wife. Songs from the long ago 70's and 80's, to far more current media. You'll probably note some through lines running throughout as we talk about what these songs mean to us (links to relevant music videos). For this week:
