Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast.

Today, I’m talking with Johan Nohr! He’s the artistic vision behind Mork Borg, a doommetal TTRPG that has spawned an enormous community. He’s done quite a lot of art and design for other games as well, but today we’re talking about his short story The Goblin, which is available for free on his itch page, with a physical version available here.

We spend a lot of time discussing creativity and the strengths of a community, process as art, and what can be learned and achieved by stretching yourself creatively and artistically.

Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast.

Today, we’re doing something entirely different. Rather than discuss stories or books, my good friend Bart Larsen and I are beginning our journey through the albums of the Beatles.

We’ll be taking an album by album approach to highlight how the most influential band of the 20th Century developed and became what they became. We start here with their first album.

Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast.

Today, I’m speaking with J. Holt, an illustrator, comicbook writer and artist, gamemaker, and professor. I stumbled across his work on twitter and fell in love with the fact that he was sharing his process for developing and drawing a graphic novel set in Anglo-Saxon era England. You can follow him on his substack and twitter or check out Carthage Workshop, where you can order copies of his card game Panomachea or the first two volumes of his graphic novel Theseus. You can also read Theseus for free. His youtube channel is also well worth checking out.

In this episode, we talk about a great many things, including Anglo-Saxon England, language, translation, Greek myths, the beauty and joy of process, the importance of process, creativity as both a gift and a habit, and how to do all these things while being a parent.
