First: Congratulations on 1,000 episodes, Escape Pod!
Second: I keep replaying "A 1,000 Names For God..." Matt Wallace totally nailed the frustrations Chemo expressed. Beautiful story!

I'm gratified to know we're not alone in this. People are confronting the masked storm troopers. And as we join them, you and I tell story, sometimes to help others escape for a moment, sometimes to help others process what's going on. Carry on, good sir!

Congrats! I've been listening for the past couple of years and wondered what episode 1000 would be! Good job!

Whether Juneteenth remains a federal holiday is irrelevant. Let's always remember this day!

I know I'm not the first to use the popcorn eating gif, but I swear, the President Musk/Trump breakup is like Christmas come early!

Actually, we prefer being called "Rebel scum," Mr. Emperor.

The finale to Ride The Wilderness is out and it reminds us that we are not alone in this, nor are we going anywhere.

If this country's voluntary march towards authoritarianism and white washing history infuriates you, you might enjoy "Ride The Wilderness".

Turns out that the people who said removing statues was trying to remove history were lying about caring about history.

Former Rep. George Santos sentenced to 87 months for federal fraud charges | CNN Politics Disgraced former Rep. George Santos was sentenced Friday to 87 months in prison for aggravated identity theft and wire fraud charges stemming from fraudulent activity during his 2022 midterm campaign.

Justice rarely reveals herself, but she gave us a nip slip today.

When this dismal era ends one day––and it will––historians and psychologists will study how so many eagerly joined billionaires in attacking immigrants, the poor, and democracy itself. I hope people who led this horror will be held to account.

If you're a "Halt and Catch Fire" fan like me (there's, like, hundreds of us out there!), "Speak No Evil" will kinda freak you out based on the casting alone.

Word. I believe whenever you're writing down a character's stream of thoughts em dashes are the way.

Next Saturday episode 1 of "Ride The Wilderness" will be available on the Mixtape Stories podcast. So, grab your bike and as much peanut butter you can carry because "the Shift" is about to hit the fan!

I saw this and I was like, “my God, this is the Houston exburb uniform! And I shit you not, the third comment was a mope from the outer Houston suburbs unironically explaining why he moved to the sticks because of his triggers.

I want everyone of you struggling in this disappointing timeline to know that you're doing your best (probably). And despite your self-doubts, I can say that you did not share your war plans with a journalist on a group chat. #hegseth

I'm going to take screenshots of the news headlines and send them to me 10 years in the past so I can write a story that will be considered too stupidly unrealistic.

I absolutely loved this episode, guys! Ryan, you wrote a wonderfully funny and touching story! I think I ran out of exclamation marks!!

Good news for the upcoming audio drama podcast coming out maybe in late April. "Ride The Wilderness" will be a three episode miniseries and will give voice to everything we're going through, but I promise, this story will inspire!

In latest blow to Tesla, regulators recall nearly all Cybertrucks US regulators are recalling nearly all Cybertrucks, the eighth recall of the Tesla vehicles since deliveries to customers began just over a year ago.

Is it Schadenfreude in here or is it just me? #cybertruck

Well, well, well, it looks like me being all crotchety old man and refusing to adopt the tech turned to be a good thing!

Word! I live in Houston, TX and felt like I was in the wilderness until I found KEXP back in 2012. Whether it be Early with Eva or the Morning Show, or whatever show it is, I feel part of a community and it is so important living where I'm living, you know?
