No Cause For Alarm
Consortium 499 has released a “best of” collection, including the composer’s ten favorite tracks from their 25 albums. Of course, we are fans of the Consortium’s work, since C499 composed the track we use for our theme music. You can download the album from Bandcamp here.

State of the City
It’s a bit of a wreck. Not just in the podcast, but we didn’t achieve the 2017 episode output we’d planned. We missed both Witchnight and Sunbottom this year, which was a shame because we had ideas for both! (Fear not, you’ll still hear them soon enough.) 2017 was a…
