Why "Lumbering Forward" Is Worth the Wait

Ten years of wandering, condensed into a sprint.

This time around, we are bringing you a very-special retelling of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. It's high on energy but also delightfully low on patience. Because let’s be honest: ten years is a long time to spend lost at sea, and we have a podcast to run.

Behind the Scenes of "A Condensed-Space Odyssey"

Our actors are ready, the sound effects are mostly accurate, and everything is set to go. Well, except for some last-minute edits made strictly for time-management purposes. Clinton is sure the cast won't mind. After all, who wouldn't be thrilled about having their grand theatrical moments reduced to brief cameos?

Our story centers on a hero of the Trojan War, Odysseus. Right now, he's just trying to get home to Ithaca. But a petty Poseidon and a very love-struck nymph have other plans. You'll feel the ocean spray during his turbulent raft ride through monstrous whirlpools, hear the beckoning call of rock-loving sirens, and almost taste the tragic consequences of munching on flowers and farm animals. And in a faction of the time Christopher Nolan took to tell the story!

Can a hero survive when his script is cut?

The sails are set, the wind is in the bag, and the clock is ticking. Grab your favorite goblet of wine and join us for the ride of a lifetime! Listen now or face the wrath of a cut-for-time god!

The truth is out there, and now it's organized.

Logic is a fickle thing, especially when everyone seems to have their own version of it. Put on your tinfoil hat and adjust your antenna, because things are about to get uncomfortably organized.

Finding Logic within The Arcana Unity

In this episode, Jess Krazier takes a stab at nighttime radio with "Is That Right?". His first guest is a man who is both secretive and terrible at hiding his identity. It seems this shadowy figure has developed a digital solution to the world's most baffling contradictions. The Conspiracy Reconciliation Algorithmic Processor is a revolutionary program designed to smooth over all those stubborn wrinkles. Just feed in the problem and it turns a mountain of clashing theories into one smooth, dramatic narrative. But can it handle the problems Jess's callers give it?  "The Arcana Unity" is waiting for those brave enough to stop asking "why" and start asking "how does this all fit together?"

The phone lines are open and the truth is waiting. Listen to the latest episode now and decide for yourself what’s real.
