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.

As I'm still working on the next Retrospective episode, here's a bonus bit of filler. Just Toby and I being nutso, something that would usually go into outtakes. But we also have a discussion on the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once that gets into spoiler territory.
If you're interested in hearing us talk about stuff that isn't New Century, you may well get your wish. In the mean time, enjoy this bit of random joy. Goodness knows we need it.
