I have never adequately expressed the depth and intensity of my regard for you. And I can’t here, not in writing, not in a letter that will pass through who knows how many hands before it reaches you. But I promise you that when I come home, I will tell you. I’ll tell you everything. If you’ll let me, I’ll do much more than that.

We adore this review of TWO THOUSAND AND LATE from Mentally, A Magpie. If you’ve been looking for a cathartic listen as the world burns, the entire first season of TWO THOUSAND AND LATE is out now wherever you get podcasts! www.mentallyamagpie.com/fiction-podc...

It was a near-immediate hook line and sinker. There is something about this podcast that digs deeper than the wit of the working class. There is a truth humming through the soul of this podcast, from the writing to the casting it's a window reflecting a reality we are all living. This isn't
escapism, this is a clap on the back and a well knowing nod.

oh gosh, this is SUCH a lovely write-up about New Year’s Day from Lauren Passell's newsletter! sign up for her newsletter and then go listen to New Year’s Day! podcastthenewsletter.substack.com/p/1-trainwre...

Every year since January 1, 2022 on New Year's Day, Lauren Shippen (The Bright Sessions, TWO THOUSAND AND LATE) releases an episode of New Year's Day, a fiction story about two extremely different magicians named Charles Chambers and John Fogg who meet in 1890 and via a magic trick disaster become immortal. They meet up every 13 years to catch up, and each episode is one of these catch ups, so we've seen them in New York, LA, and Chicago in 1890, 1903, 1916, 1929, and we're up to 1942.
They started out despising each other but their relationship is developing into what I can only hope is love, and I feel tortured that I have to wait an entire year to get even a hint of a clue as to where this is all going. I guess that is the point. This is Lauren Shippen, the story is funny and philosophical and the quality is superb and will ruin all fiction for you because nothing is better than it. Nothing period. I listen from the very beginning every year—episodes are short so this is not overwhelming, it's only a complete joy. Listen to "Chapter
V - 1942, Los Angeles" here.
