Episode #280 - Writer's Room: Disparation Vol. 2 #122 04/30/2024

Episode #280 - Writer's Room: Disparation Vol. 2 #122 The end of the Oracle! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:50 Look how short this episode is! It's not because anything was ommitted — no, we just knew this whole tale, and told it post-haste! Is it a good tale? That's for YOU to decide! We answer some questions from recent and NOT AT ALL RECENT history. Do the questions ripen with age? Or do they rot? Or neither? So many questions in today's show notes. Too many? Who can say?! Join us next week for a Writers' Room about that one time when Akash’Bhuta became Akash’Thriya! Woo! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/31043468

Editor’s Note #78 04/23/2024

Editor’s Note #78 It's another LIVE SHOW! Or, rather, it was. This is the recording of that live show.

Episode #279 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #533 04/16/2024

Episode #279 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #533 Looks like it's time for Space Stuff! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:09:45 What's with all these long episodes (for the most part) lately?! We must be catching up for lost time in the first few months of the year. Yeah, that's it — gotta make sure our average episode length smooths itself out. This episode is just a straight-up continuation of a previous episode: , in fact! Haven't listened to it before? We recommend going back and checking it out before diving into this one. We clarify some things from the issue we Writers' Roomed in that one, cover the issue after that, and then dive deep into today's title/cover issue! Woo! Then, in the letters section, we talk about love. What's not to love? See you next week (or this Friday, if you're on ) for an Editor's Note! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30839233

Episode #278 - Writers' Room: A Day In The Life: The Argent Adept 04/09/2024

Episode #278 - Writers' Room: A Day In The Life: The Argent Adept Another Day in another Life! The musical episode? (No.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:39:59 It's been awhile since we've done one of these, and we're excited to return to the format. Did we make it work? You decide! Also, check out this kick-ass cover that Adam slaved over! Mighty impressive! We also field a bunch of letters on a few topics, and we attempt to answer them all! I realize that's pretty much every episode, but it's also this one! Join us next week for an episode about space anti-hero big dummy, earth-to-space-to-earth fashion model turned vigilante vs cosmic Jaws (TM, don't sue us). /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30742493

Episode #277 - Writers' Room: Mind Over Matter #53 04/02/2024

Episode #277 - Writers' Room: Mind Over Matter #53 We're going to a darker time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:29 We're right at it, and telling a story that gets pretty Dark... Dark Visionary, that is! I'd say "spoilers", but you could have already seen the cover by this point, so there you go. And it happened at the same time as the Vengeance limited series, as promised! Want to know more? You'll just have to listen to the episode! Next week, we get to do another Day in the Life episode, this one about The Argent Adept! Join us! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30634828

Episode #276 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #431 03/26/2024

Episode #276 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #431 Christopher and Adam are back, and they're not even a little sorry for this episode! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:07:07 We genuinely didn't know where we were headed at the start of this recording, but we sure got there! Did you enjoy it? We sure did! Join us next week for Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30541258

Surgery-Sode!!! 03/19/2024

Surgery-Sode!!! It's finally here! The long-awaited surgery-sode! That's right, not much of an episode today, because Christopher just had spine surgery and is recovering. How's recovery going? I'm sure we'll find out soon! Bear with us until then! (AAAAH!! The bear is back!!!) /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30321378

Editor's Note #77 03/12/2024

Editor's Note #77 An early Editor's Note! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:04:03 The Letters Boys have some complaints, but all solvable problems, one way or another! We look forward to having fewer complaints and make more content! Stories! Art! More! There's an upcoming schedule! There's also a current schedule! Here they are! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, March 12th: definitely Editor’s Note #77 Tuesday, March 19th: for sure Surgery-Sode Tuesday, March 26th: hopefully Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character If all that works, then: Tuesday, April 2nd: Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story Tuesday, April 9th: Episode #278 - A Day in the Life: Argent Adept Tuesday, April 16th: Episode #279 - Greazer & Fashion vs Card Shark Tuesday, April 23rd: Editor’s Note #78 Tuesday, April 30th: Episode #280 - Disparation Vol. 2 #122 “Farewell to the Oracle” Here's hoping! Next week, it's the likely-not-very-interesting-surgery-sode, but then! After that! A return to form (probably) with maybe Christopher having a funny voice (hopefully)! Something(s) to look forward to. /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30335063

Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #391 03/05/2024

Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #391 Telling a story about a minor villain who never really catches on... until she is reborn! (But that's in the future. Not in this episode.) Show Notes: Run Time: 2:04:47 Over two hours! Huh, I don't remember feeling that long when we recorded it. Welp! We must have been in the zone, or something. ANYWAY! We tell a Choke story. The first one, actually! But we talk about a bunch of other stuff as well, including Night Snake and Stuntman stuff in the letters section. There's a lot! It's all pretty fun! At least, we sure think so. Thanks for being a part of it! We're recording a LIVE Editor's Note, this Friday, March 8th, at 11 AM, Central! If you're on , you can watch it, and even join in if you're a Contributor! Otherwise, it'll come out next week in audio format! After that: surgery. Weee! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30222373

Episode #274 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #107-#108 NOW we're REALLY back! For a few weeks, at least. But still! TWO COVERS! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:43:48 Right off the bat, a new upcoming schedule! Wednesday, February 28th: Record Episode #275: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, March 5th: Release Episode #275: Choke in Megalopolis Friday, March 8th: Record Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 12th: Release Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 19th: Release Surgery-sode! After that, things depend on how recovery goes, and whether or not I go to PAX East. We'll keep you updated as we know more! Sorry for things still being so up in the air, but it's for very good reasons, at least! And then, to the episode! Do we tell a tale? YES! Emphatically yes. We cover a lot, and we do the whole thing live! Remember: we're recording the next episode TOMORROW! So, if you have any questions, now is the time to submit them! ! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30133078

Editor's Note #76 02/20/2024

Editor's Note #76 The most normal episode in weeks! And we did it live! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:25 Medical updates, schedule updates, plans, hopes, dreams, and whiteboard drawings. What more could you ask for? What's that you say? Questions, answered live? Yeah, we've got those, too! First off, here are a couple of hopefully illustrative whiteboard drawings, as discussed near the start of this episode. The problem: The solution: Makes sense? Certainly something Christopher is looking forward to! Next, the proposed schedule, though with the knowledge that it could change at any time, due to surgery! Upcoming schedule: ??? Tuesday, March 5th: probably Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, March 12th: maybe Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character Tuesday, March 19th: possibly Editor’s Note #77 Tuesday, March 26th: hopefully Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story And then, we read some letters, give some answers, and also answer questions in the chat! Starting off with two lovely postcards: Thanks, everyone! Join us next week for Episode #274: Baron Blade vs non-Freedom Five heroes! Get your questions in now! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/30019473

Answer-Sode! 02/13/2024

Answer-Sode! We're back with a bigger episode than we've had in weeks! (Which isn't saying that much, but still!) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:05:11 First, we go in-depth on Christopher's health and answer as many questions of that sort as possible. (More to come on that when we do a live show this coming Friday!) Then, now that we've answered the latest questions (such as, "Is Christopher OK?") we figured we'd take a swing at some of the oldest questions in the hopper! It's almost like a normal Letters section! Huzzah! There's some question at the end (and before that, too) as to whether the schedule will allow for a live show this coming Friday. If you've been following the parentheticals, you know that it's true! There will be a live Editor's Note this coming Friday, February 16th! 11 AM, Central Time! If you're on , join us! If not, ! (But, you know, a different kind of join us. First, the second. Second, the first.) See you then! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/29925248

Spine-a-sode! 02/06/2024

Spine-a-sode! Another fake episode? You bet! But this one has way more information than last fake episode, hippo violations be damned! Plus, hope for an eventual return to normalcy! What more could you ask for? Thanks for sticking with us, folks. We hate not putting out real episodes and look forward to getting back to it as soon as possible. Until then, go out there and save the Multiverse! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/29823383

Not-a-Sode 01/30/2024

Not-a-Sode Not the regularly scheduled episode you were expecting, for which we apologize. Christopher's medical condition has taken several turns for the worse, so we talk a bit about that on the air about what that means for the future, and what they can do to make up for it when he's better. Bear with us! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/29710023

Editor's Note #75 01/23/2024

Editor's Note #75 The first Editor's Note of 2024!

But first, the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, February 6th: Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, February 13th: Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character Tuesday, February 20th: Editor’s Note #76 Tuesday, February 27th: Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story Other than that, what all do we talk about?

Episode #273 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #613 01/16/2024

Episode #273 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #613 A tale, told swiftly, but told well! (At least, so we hope.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:41 We tear right into this one, building out Waykeep notably and inventing a new villain to keep things interesting! It's another great day here at The Letters Page, where we keep our letters on our page! Trying out a new tagline. It's not great. That happens. All part of the process. We've got a live show coming up this Friday for you fantastic patreon folks! For everyone else, it'll be next week's episode! Either way: tune in! Please! We like it when you listen to us. /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/29504128

Episode #271 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #16 Happy Boxing Day, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:31 Today's topic is "Captain Cosmic and/or Naturalist Story Where Neither Are Responsible For The Relevant Problem And Both Contribute Positively To Its Satisfying Resolution And Neither Are Tricked By Anyone In The Process"... and we feel called out. However! We do our best to present at least one of those two daring do-gooders in a purely positive light! In the process of storytelling, Christopher draws some things on his whiteboard to illustrate a point to Adam. Here are photos of those drawings! First: Veneer's plan: The ultimate outcome (SPOILERS!): Those pictures are likely worth far less than the going rate of 1000 words. Next Tuesday is the first Tuesday of 2024, and is thus our traditional "break", but we'll be back the week after that with episode #272, all about Stuntman AND Night Snake! Get your questions in now! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/29230103

Episode #270 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #513 All new, all different, all... what?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:11 An alternate Freedom Five line-up, in the 90s?

We have a LOT of issues, and we talk about many of them. That could be the tagline of The Letters Page, actually. Get your questions for "Young Legacy and Expatriette team-up" and "Alternate Freedom Five line-up" in ASAP! And Christopher will be at PAX Unplugged this weekend, so come find him! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/28825158

Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:28 Christopher starts off with another tale of injury, but this was far lower stakes and more medically attended to than last year's cave story, so that's good, at least! Then, our heroes fall! But will they rise again? Gosh, let's hope so! If you're a , join us this Friday for a live Editor's Note! If not, you'll hear it next Tuesday! Either way: it'll be a fun time! /episode/index/show/theletterspage/id/28634683

Episode #266 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #506 11/07/2023

Episode #266 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #506 Spooky season continues with a Very Spooky November! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:31 This one gets pretty extreme! We're gonna tell a few issues worth of story, and we're going to try to not make this the longest episode, as a result. We think we did a pretty OK job at both — what do you think?
