Hey, friends! Adam's back, and he did an AWESOME cover!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:20:44
It's good to be back recording together again. It feels like it's been a long time, even though it's only been a week away from each other.
After only a reasonable amount of goofs, we get right down to the brassiest of tacks. We start overviewing around 4 minutes in.
At the 40 minute mark, we get to your questions! We take questions on the topic at hand (or, rather, at fist), and we also some K.N.Y.F.E. questions, as well!
In the overview and question sections, we address some pretty heavy things. Unsurprisingly, writing a 70s comic about a black hero based on blaxploitation tropes would have been weighty in the 70s, and it's definitely still a rousing topic today. We want to make one thing clear here: black lives matter. If you feel like "all lives matter" is a fair statement, it's important to note that only when black lives matter will all lives matter. Nothing we say in this strange, performance art podcast where we tell real stories about fake comics should take anything away from that truth. We trust our listenership to understand that.
Finally, at about an hour and 17 minutes in, we talk a bit about the cover. But you've likely already seen it above in the show notes!
Oh, and Adam sent me a photo of his pan and spatula that he uses for making eggs. Here it is:
Don't mind the ghost hand in the lower left corner. Adam's house might be haunted, but at least those ghosts love his eggs!

We start off with some... non-technical difficulties. After that, some goofs, some introductions, and more goofs, we talk about voting for episodes in September.
Upcoming schedule:
- Tuesday, September 1st: Publishers’ Note #2
- Tuesday, September 8th: Episode #155 - Creative Process: Ra Villains
- Tuesday, September 15th: Publishers’ Note #3
- Tuesday, September 22nd: Episode #156 - Writers’ Room: An issue of Terminal Ballistics, ft. Setback & Expatriette
- Tuesday, September 29th: Publishers’ Note #4
Then, finally, around the 22 minute mark, we get to your questions. Featuring a brand new song from Trevor!!!
Our plan was to read a bunch of letters from listeners and then also take questions from the chat. Instead, we got through a few letters, and then the multitude of questions from the chat overwhelmed us and we gave up on letters for this week, just to get through all the chat questions. Which ended up being great!
Around the 55 minutes in, ThePayneTrayn asks a question in the chat about brewing beer, which is a topic Paul has a lot of experience and knowledge on. Paul describes an all-rye ale that he has brewed, which was met with demands for the recipe. Here is that recipe, from Paul himself!
- 6lb malted rye
- 1lb medium crystal malt
- Starch conversion with 2.25gal h2o at 148F for 2 hours
- Mash out at 170F. Sparge with 3 gal h2o
- Bring to a boil. Add 1oz Holdings hops. Boil 45 min. Add 0.5oz Bramling hops. Boil 15 minutes. Add 0.5oz Bramling hops.
- Ferment with Wyeast 1968 London ESB yeast
Finally, we mentioned that next Publishers' Note will be a great time to ask Paul questions about his involvement in Spirit Island lore. If you have questions for Paul (or for Christopher and Adam), use our handy question submission form!
See you next time!
Good morning, heroes! Let's talk about Legacy's friends!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:30:44
Adam and I are here to talk about the character that you, dear listeners, demanded we bring up again. You can't say we never gave you anything! We're just here to act on the will of the people. Simple public servants, that's us.
We talk about some minor characters, but also some that have more impact than expected on Legacy's story. Which Legacy? Well, we get into that, too!
A bit after the 39 minute mark, we dig into your questions, which are many and excellent.
This Friday is the first recording of the first ever "Publishers' Note" of the Letters Page podcast, starring our very own Paul Bender! You'll be able to hear that episode in audio form next Tuesday, but if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can watch it happen live! And, if you're a Contributor to the Patreon, your questions will be a part of this new, experimental episode! What will happen? Who can say! Join us!
(Oh, also, extra props to Trevor for the new outro! What do you think of it?)
We did a Gen Con live! Sort of!

Right off the bat, I engage in an entirely visual goof, which doesn't work terribly well as radio... Fortunately, you can watch the video here!
Trevor made some very special versions of the songs used in this song, including cool videos! Worth watching.
We goof around a standard amount, taking roughly 7 minutes of episode time to do so, and then we take questions of all sorts, ranging so far and wide as to be impossible to properly represent here. What sorts of things do we talk about? You'll have to listen to find out!
Friday of this week, Adam and I are recording the "Legacy Supporting Cast" episode that you all wanted so badly. Totally a thing you demanded and not a thing we made happen. *innocent whistling* ANYWAY, get your Legacy questions in, now!
