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.

This was normally going to wait till my new regular upload time of midnight, Saturday. But once more, I just couldn't hold back the signal.
Part 1 with Maureen was much more high energy in general, a bunch of dorks connecting over this piece of media we loved and participated in. Part 2 is more sobering, going to more difficult places. Talking about our experiences during the last year, and about the internal struggles since 2016 that led Maureen to start stepping back from being a regular cast member of New Century.
I do think we do a good job of rounding out our questions, and giving Maureen a chance to revisit her role in shaping New Century, as she ponders what is next for her. But more important is the surprise ending of this episode, and one that is resonant with the stories we have covered. The importance of finding hope in the storm, and holding fast to it.
We end as we mean to go on. Together.
