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.

Chapters 20-22 of Arlington: Rally
- Further reflection on where we have been and what comes next, closing on the final episodes of Arlington.
- Discussion on the fact that our podcast is not only informed on by School of Movies, but that our work is improved by learning from it.
- Thomas and Sarah's backstory: what it means in terms of plot and larger narrative
- And finally, our dissection of all the reasons Thomas was reticent to reveal these truths.
We got a little off track discussion things that aren't directly Arlington episodes, but hopefully it all feeds into a greater whole.

This is it. The beginning of the end.
Technically we start with Chapter 17, which is still in Part 2 in the novel. But as we get into, we do have our own relevant theme for the final nine chapters of Arlington, which for the purpose of our show will be divided into three sets of three. Today we start with Chapters 17-19, Decent.
- The Book of Carl
- The Book of Seth
- The Book of... Dracula? (The answer may surprise you!)

Not only is this even more conversation with Recorded Tomorrow host Jesse Ferguson, we even do some time travelling!
...okay, not really. I do share outtakes at the end at different points in our conversation, so that's kind of like time travelling.
...No? Okay then.
But we do talk about how Jesse likes to explain time travel in BITAS and other creative works, what's next for him on the creative front... and most importantly, we ask about Bishop Miller from Arlington. Come join us.
