July's getting kinda bleak so we're offering an alternate take on the world's problems with Frostpunk by 11 Bit Studios and Early Riser by Jasper Fforde. Both pieces dig into worlds ravaged by cataclysmic winter and offer takes on the adaptability and social breakdown of human society in times of crisis. Believe us, it's more fun than it sounds. We are joined on this episode by our good friend Luke, an aspiring writer and all around nice dude.
