It's been harder to get Fontaines DC tickets than Olivia Rodrigo. What in the world.

I think this might be our best issue yet. Really proud of how it came out. Please give it a listen, subscribe to the podcasts, subscribe to the newsletter, don't subscribe to Depressed Horse, and let us know what you think!

LFC-004 is God Under Siege! From Skadi's Symphony, creators of Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop, Kane and Feels, and Tales of the Cog, comes a brand new sci-fi comedy that's a bit like Hitchhiker's Guide mixed with Waiting for Godot and thrown into a blender to make little existential meatballs.

The second plane has hit the Three Stooges 9/11 remembrance post on Instagram and it no longer stands. We remember. Never forget.

Do me a favor - listen to a song or an episode of audio fiction in this issue. Just one. Share. Engage. Let me know what you think. You can even tell me it's awful. Some of them are! Don't listen to Depressed Horse. Listen to Miss Shipton. Listen to Teilz. Listen to Portraits of Tracy. Trust!

It's true. Yesterday I said "just take a day and do it tomorrow." All day today I've said, "today is the day to do the things you didn't do yesterday." But then today sucked worse than yesterday. I'm trying to do the things. But I can't. And while I'm worried it will domino? Tomorrow it is.

Enes Kanter is such a fucking clown and is so desperate for relevancy he needs to crash an WNBA game with his idiotic NAZI ass talking points to try and center himself in a conversation that has fuckall to do with losers like him.

Not to toot my own horn but I just listened to the rough cut of EAR•WAX Issue 2 and it's very good and I'm very excited to share it with you all. It's really fun to make something unique and special and that feels kinda...needed? In a way? And everyone we're working with rules. Anywho. Toot toot.

Moments after talking to @vandreasonable.bsky.social at @tafcon.bsky.social about writing got Ear Wax, I knew I had to talk about The Hyacinth Disaster. It doesn't end as happily as Project Hail Mary, but it trades on the same level of hope and sheer love for other people that Grace and Rocky have.
