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.

Whitescarves Team-Up! #8, Jesse Ferguson, Part 1
Friday Aug 27, 2021
Friday Aug 27, 2021
This is Whitescarves Team-Up, Fireside Alliance edition.
Alex deserves full credit for this one. As mentioned recently, Through The Wind Door is part of a super community of creators, and there had already been discussion on how to do crossover episodes among the different podcasts. But given that Back in Time + Space had just come out, Alex suggested that the time was ripe to interview him for that, so everything just fits neatly together!
So if you like time travel and New Century, get you an interview that can do both. Not to mention that unlike our News of the Century on the book, both parts of this interview are spoiler free. Enjoy as we get into the history of Jesse's love of time travel, his growing relationship with Alex and his various creative works, and the birth of Recorded Tomorrow.

Today's Episode is titled Dr. Sean Riley, or How We Learned To Stop Overthinking And Love Bob Chipman's Performance. (Also, Smoke Weed Responsibly)
But seriously, today we talk about:
- The reasons why we love the character and speech of Sean Riley
- Toby's specific reflections on what his speech means to him as an academic
- The feelings evoked by Eli Roach, and discussion of the etymology of his name
- Outtakes!
And most importantly,, time taken out to specifically shout out our fellow creators at the Fireside Alliance, which we had not really mentioned before now since our fanbase is already a subset of Alex's, and those folks are already in the know. But among the stuff we called out:

The Search Begins - Part 2 (Arlington)
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
Once more, a shorter episode than usual, but that's because an incredibly intriguing discussion had to be sequestered to it's own spot in order to avoid potentially spoiling new readers. I don't know how many of those we have, but bear ye in mind: if you have not read/listened through Uncivil Outlaw, stop listening at or before the outro music! This warn you!
In the meantime:
- Our myriad discussion on the magic of Carl and Old Ned
- Horror Stories on the Frontier: Here There Be Dragons
- The return to the political thriller in chapter 15, as we start exploring the challenges of the DC team
- Discussing the characterization of MacPherson and Fisher, and who we fear more
- And as always, more ruminations on the essential nature of Thomas

Holy shit, we got to act 2 of Arlington! Celebration time!
Seriously, as always seems to happen, we focus mostly on Chapter 13 in this episode, so chapters 14-16 will happen later. But there is content! Including:
- Discussion of how genre mixing, and how music is used to separate out two different moods/stories inside Arlington
- The White House Meeting
- How all the leadup and character introduction in Act 1 prepared us for this moment
- And our brand new segment: Musings on Manticores
