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.

"We've all got things in our past in one way shape or form where we go 'I wish I wouldna done that'. So, there's no reason to not change some of those behaviors going forward... that's just my pie in the sky idealism that I have now and then. So take that for what you will." - Matt
Round 2 of Matt Wardle. If you thought we went off topic when interviewing Laureta or Maya, be prepared, because we wander all over the place above and beyond New Century. We discuss furry fandom, cosplay, what it means to be a roleplayer, Massachusetts, all accents devolving into Russian, and how humbling it can be to be a performer that has touched others. We also discuss living with separated parents, and the affect parents have on our kids whether they intend to or not. (No special content warning, but it can get personal and heavy at times.)
But in terms of New Century itself, we cover the familiar ground of discussing which of his characters would have interesting interactions with other New Century personalities that have not yet met, as well as who Matt himself would most be interested in having a heart to heart conversation with. The answer may surprise you!
Also, let Alex know if you want to see a Tesla/Edison spinoff show!
(Extra long outtakes reel at the end - there was a lot of good content pre and post podcast!)
