1 hr 6 min - Beyond the Wind Door - Music with Maureen pt. 1
Look, its not a great title. But it's what I came up with.
Lacking other side content to share, I decided to try something new: discussing favorite music with my wife. Songs from the long ago 70's and 80's, to far more current media. You'll probably note some through lines running throughout as we talk about what these songs mean to us (links to relevant music videos). For this week:
Paul Simon - Boy In The Bubble:

Simon and Garfunkel - I Am A Rock
Sara Barellies - Armor

Intro is "Light Me Up" by Audiorezout of Free Music Archive
1 hr 23 min - Beyond The Wind Door - The Answer
An essay I wrote in 2019, after interviewing Alex and Sharon for Steamheart. The first creative writing I'd done in a while. And needed practice for the podcast I would eventually do with Toby.
The essay now includes Music and an epilogue to my personal little story. Spoilers for certain story elements of The Good Place, but specifically for Season 4, episode 9 of that show.
Midroll is "Clean Soul" by Kevin McLeod
Outro is "Answer" by Sarah McLachlan
19 min - Behind The Whitescarves - The First Interview, Part 2
Here's the rest of it and it's extra long. But only slightly because of what I added.
As before, spoilers not just for Steamheart, but for all New Century books released by 2019, including and especially The Princess Thieves.
It's amazing to think so much started here. Enjoy.

2 hr 25 min - Beyond the Wind Door - The 14th Doctor Specials, Part 1
This Wind Door once more opens next to a TARDIS! Lacking his Real Life Doctor companion, Greg invites Kevin Veighey back to Dish on the Doctor, plus time travel expert Jesse Fergusson to be our foil!
Today we cover The Star Beast and Wild Blue Yonder, though there will be discussion of overarching themes of all three 14th Doctor Specials, so expect potential spoilers for all! Allon-sy!

1 hr 31 min - Behind The Whitescarves - The First Interview, Part 1
Late 2019, Alex was making the post Steamheart materials after the release of the final episode of the audiodrama. Then he had a banger of an idea: why not ask two fans to interview them instead of just doing content with the cast?
Little did he know what he started.
4 years later, I rerelease these interviews that began with me and Toby and our crappy mics. Complete with added editorials from me, reflecting on how those old interviews sound now, and reflections on what we did and what's to come.
Spoiler warning: We discuss several aspects of all of Phase 1, including elements from The Princess Thieves, which we have not yet covered in the Retrospective. This Warn You.
Enjoy!

About Through The Wind Door
From the publisher's feed
In 2013, Alex Shaw published a small novel called The Cartographer’s Handbook, the first in a series called The New Century Multiverse.
The premise is alt history, where post-Civil War America is suddenly overcome with a plague of dangerous monsters that overwhelm the Reconstruction, and bring the nation to its knees. The series is not about its fall, however, but about the heroes that help bring it back from the brink, and step into a wider world that is not the one they knew. New mysteries to unlock, magics to discover, and worlds to explore.
Ten years later, the New Century Multiverse is now thirteen books strong, with more on the way. It has had 2 major story arcs, an Avengers style coming together of the heroes of its various books, and multiple worlds and genres to explore. This is its first fan podcast.
Through The Wind Door is a deep dive exploration of the novels and their corresponding audiodramas, along with interviews of the cast and creators. Accessible to new readers and long time fans, join Greg and Toby as they share thoughts about this engaging series.
