TWOAPW #260: CHILDREN OF THE CONNIE (feat. @nocartridge.bsky.social) In 2001, Odyssey was writing stories about cults and espionage as James Dobson was urging his followers not to donate to 9/11 victims. In 2026, odyssey leaves the airwaves with an episode about burning down your local book shop

WEDNESDAY: we're smiling our way back to Odyssey with @nocartridge.bsky.social as we talk about cults, US-backed dictators in Latin America, and the reasons why you're not to blame if someone burns down a liberal bookstore while directly quoting you.

TWOAPW #259 CHARLIE KIRK: AFTERLIFE Charlie Kirk's legacy is a cruel one. Those closest to him tried to sanitize and canonize it, and in doing so, helped create an astounding movement of dadaist mockery.

THIS WEDNESDAY: It's been a year and change since Charlie Kirk was publicly assassinated. We're going to dive into what happened between then and now, and how he, along with generative AI, has left a permanent mark on our culture that could have never been predicted.

TWOAPW 258: THE LATE GREAT PLANET EARTH. You've probably never heard of Hal Lindsey, but you have heard of the rapture. That's because Lindsey's book was a blockbuster bestseller in the 1970s, even spawning a film with Orson Welles. Julian Feeld of QAA and @superstructurepod.bsky.social joins us

TWOAPW #255: our 53rd installment of Whit's Endless Summer brings us to the impoverished Connelsville neighborhood of Oswald Heights. We learn that mini golf stardom isn't all it's cracked up to be, some people can't be trusted, and it's ok to tear down someone's home if you're Christian enough.

THIS WEEK: We're unlocking a classic from the archives. As AI-generated images of an arthropod Christ flooded the Facebook algorithm in 2024, we looked back on the platform, our experiences with it, and its eventual downfall..

TWOAPW #253: BEE MOVIE According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.

WHAT'S CHANGING?
For the time being, you can expect the same show as always, with new case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire releasing every Wednesday. In the longer term, we've got plans for original scripted audio drama that will showcase the top-tier voiceover and sound talent that is now available to us as a union shop.

WHAT DO WE GET?

Joining SAG-AFTRA as talent gives us full membership benefits, including health insurance and pension credits. Because our company pays into these funds, we will be able to pay our performers as union talent, helping meet their annual health and pension minimums while granting an on-ramp to membership for those who have not yet joined but are interested in doing so.

WHY JOIN NOW?

New media is at an inflection point. As the largest media corporations continue to consolidate, squeezing creative workers out of more and more jobs, independent media outlets are fast becoming one of the only ways that working talent can find true stability. We believe that organizing this space is crucial to ensure a livelihood for talent working in new media, both now and into the future.

WHO ARE WE?

The Worst of All Possible Worlds is a podcast about pop culture and media narratives. In July 2026, we became signatory to a SAG-AFTRA Independent Podcast Agreement. We have joined the union as performers, designated our show as a union production, and are thrilled to take this step forward in growing the podcast and further professionalizing its operations.
