1 hr 11 min - Beyond The Wind Door - Marvel’s Spiderman 2, Part 1
Well, here's another first. Dr. Skeels-Jungius and I are covering a videogame! But it's a video game we feel strongly about, both in the original experience, as part of a series of games, but also as lovers of Spider-Man and his extended mythology. (Because the name is confusing, we also refer to this game officially as Spider-Men: Proving Grounds)
This is a spoiler free episode, and today we discuss:
- Our own pasts with Spider-Man media
- Our experience and love of the first two Insomniac games
- Our feelings on gameplay, traversal, and certain side activities
- Spidey-Wardrobe
- And all over spoiler free conclusions!
TL;DL We liked the game a lot. But the Mephisto is in the details! Come join us.

1 hr 1 min - New’s of the Century: Castle of the Moon, Part 2
Part 2 of our initial conversations on the hot new thing, Castle of the Moon.
As before, this episode will spoil the book in question, will potentially spoil Any Other Part of New Century because we get into a bunch of the implications for how this book reveals previously unknown context about previously released books. Part and parcel of being a prequel!
On top of that, this will get into spoilers for the movie Memento. Yes, revealing that is a bit of a spoiler in and of itself, can't be helped. I still don't think it would prepare you for how it comes into play, and Memento is a 23 year old movie, but still! We cant talk about how mind blowing this book is without the proper context! (Timestamp is 34:20 to 38:30)
Get ready for sex, grief, bargaining, and killer music.

1 hr 8 min - New’s of the Century: Castle of the Moon, Part 1
What's the buzz, tell me what's happening... hey neighbor, have you heard the good New's?
That's right, a new book is here, and a new round of hot takes. This is only Part 1 of Toby and Greg dishing on the new book Castle of the Moon.
Big ol spoiler warning: if you have not read All the books up till this point, there may be spoilers for those books. Obviously, we get into full details on Castle, but because by Word of God this is a trilogy with Nightfall of the Wendigo, elements of this book may get referenced in relation to Nightfall. THIS WARN YOU.
And with that... here we go.

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.
