| Episode 8: Hachiko | 01 Nov 2023 | 03:23:44 | |
Chapters: 0:00:00 - Intro, interview w/ Hachiko 0:49:30 - Clutterbuck 1:16:40 - Baldur's Gate 3 tangent 1:26:15 - Cassandra Moth 2:24:20 - Plasticiemo 3:19:00 - Outro/Plugs Holy cannoli, this was a long one! I was in a really good headspace when I recorded this one, to a point where it made me a little emotional while I was editing. I cannot say enough how much of an impact this episode had on my thought process for future episodes. It features a lot of interesting questions revolving around character design, and discussions of how one crafts a character. As a furry artist, Ben had some really interesting insights on these topics, and even asked me some questions, which was a new experience for me! This episode features three new monsters, preceded by a lengthy interview in which me and Ben kinda shoot the shit for a while. If you'd like to skip straight to the monster-making, I don't blame you. The monster-crafting portion begins at about the 50 minute mark! Thanks again for your patience and thank you to Ben for his time!

| Talking with Salari | 04 Aug 2024 | 01:07:15 | |
CW: While it's generally pretty light, this episode breaches topics like suicide, depression, and the loss of a family member. These discussions happen between the 35 and 48 minute mark, so feel free to skip that section if you need to. In a rare change of pace, me and Salari got lost on some tangents and accidentally recorded a bonus episode! I hope you enjoy it!

Note: This episode is being released a little earlier than I was originally planning as a 'thank you' to the folks who donated to the fund to help pay for my fiancĂŠe's dental surgery. She had to have six teeth removed, and American dental costs are absolutely wild, but you all came through for us with flying colors and helped ensure that we could pay over half of the costs upfront. Thank you! If you'd like to help us pay for the other 42% of our bill, please consider checking out the Ko-Fi page I've set up! Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy the episode! https://ko-fi.com/rswarthout DescriptionWe got floaters, polyculas, and wigmakers on this month's episode featuring artist and illustrator, Tucker Wooley!
