Episode Overview

Season 3 kicks off with an electrifying format shift, presenting the events via a late-night conspiracy radio broadcast, "True Believer," hosted by Blake Palmer. The episode centers on a bombshell call from "Jonathan," a former Telders Corporation engineer, who claims firsthand knowledge of the secret Antarctic installation, Station 151. What starts as speculative chatter about government conspiracies quickly turns harrowing as Jonathan describes a secret mission, a deadly encounter, and a non-human entity beneath the ice—all while on the run from the shadowy corporation. The episode immerses listeners in paranoia, whistleblower anxiety, and mounting cosmic horror, culminating in an ambiguous and abrupt end that leaves both host and audience questioning the nature of truth and danger.

[01:37–03:42]

• Blake Palmer returns as the bombastic and skeptical host, teasing a night of theories about "extra dimensional beings" and government secrets.

  • Palmer references "breadcrumbs" of hidden knowledge: black sites, redacted files, and government coverups.
  • The tone is conspiratorial and self-aware, drawing listeners into the genre’s familiar terrain.

• Memorable moment: Palmer is interrupted by his producer Bill Limehouse, signaling the urgency and gravity of an incoming call that will supersede the planned topic.

  "I haven't seen Bill this agitated since that botanist brought us a warm sample of yeti dung [...] which we later discovered was a sample of his own dung in a Carl's donut box."

2. The Whistleblower Call: Jonathan’s Story

[03:42–11:07; 13:21–18:49]

Jonathan’s Introduction and Motivation

• Jonathan reveals himself as a former embedded systems engineer for Telders Corp, evading them for years.
  • He claims Station 151 is real, constructed over old British ruins on Alexander Island, Antarctica.
• He’s breaking silence now because he believes he’s out of time and wants to expose the truth.

  "Because I'm tired, Blake. I'm so fucking tired. Do you have any idea what it takes to disappear? To stay disappeared?"
  —Jonathan (08:48)

Claims About Telders' Activities

• Telders is described as having limitless reach: "high tech gizmos, drones, satellites, AI, advanced weapons platforms... psychological experiments, virus engineering, biohacking, mind control."

  "Yeah, it’s all true... and honestly, that's probably not even the worst of it."
  —Jonathan (10:37)

Direct Experience at Station 151

• Jonathan was pulled into a security crisis mission to Antarctica after his boss died under suspicious (“in the sausage now”) circumstances.

  "My boss... well, something awful happened to him and I just happened to be the only guy in the office that day. So they grabbed me, they threw me in with this squad..."
  —Jonathan (14:25)

• The sci-fi horror tone intensifies as he recounts:
  • A failed entry during a whiteout, armed security, chaos, and a firefight involving Russian mercenaries.
  • The protective squad mate is killed; Jonathan is pinned under his body.
  • He witnesses a "non-human thing" tearing through both Telders and Russian forces.
    • Description: over 7ft tall, long-limbed like a swimmer, face with big black eyes, no nose, and an unsettling mouth.

    "How the hell am I supposed to describe something to you that isn’t even meant to be seen?"
    —Jonathan (17:46)

Survival and Sudden Disconnection

• Jonathan survived by remaining still under the corpse, using it as concealment.
• As tension escalates, he suspects Telders has tracked the call; Jonathan’s feed cuts abruptly.

  "Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. You hear that? No, no, no, no, no—"
  —Jonathan (18:39) "They found me."
  —Blake Palmer (18:46), echoing Jonathan’s panic

3. Fallout & Listener Reactions

[21:21–29:54]

The Aftermath

• Palmer summarizes Jonathan’s claims and invites audience calls. Emotional register is somber and shaken.

  "Some have been quite eye opening and some have been downright disturbing. But this one, this one was something else."
  —Blake Palmer (19:00)

Call-Ins: Support, Skepticism, and Threats

• Palmer Station Caller: Vouches for the existence of Station 151, referencing a pilot who’d shuttled people there, but later became tight-lipped and disappeared.

  "He said he'd done things, seen things, terrible things. But he quickly shut his mouth after that... Weeks later, he wouldn’t even acknowledge that we'd had the conversation.”
  —Palmer Station Caller (24:57)

• Skeptical/Threatening Caller: Denies everything, then subtly threatens Palmer.

  “There is no Station 151. There never was. And you’re not gonna hear from him.”
  —Anonymous Caller/Skeptic (27:43) "You should be more careful, Blake. People like you, you think you’re safe... parked at the Tamarack Flat Campground just off Tioga Road, Mile 37."
  —Anonymous Caller/Skeptic (29:09)

• Palmer is clearly rattled, shifting tone from skepticism to personal vulnerability.

[Blake Palmer]

And we're back, folks. If you're just joining us, or if you're new to the program, I'm your host, Blake Palmer, and this is the True Believer radio broadcast coming to you from an undisclosed location deep in the High Sierras. Tonight, we're talking extra dimensional beings. What our so called government really knows about them and the troubling rumors of a global catastrophe they may be powerless to stop. It's 10:31 Pacific Time and we're just getting started, folks. Now, if you've been following the breadcrumbs, government black sites, off the record testimonies, and all those redacted files that somehow slipped through the cracks, you already know this topic runs far deeper than the public has been led to believe. What we're talking about tonight is something deeper, something older than. What we're talking about. Is that what? What? Pardon me, folks. Can you hear that? That's our producer, that's Bill Limehouse, and he's pounding on the glass between the control room and the live room here. He's waving frantically at me like his hair's on fire. I haven't seen Bill this agitated since that botanist brought us a warm sample of yeti dung from his expedition to the Himalayas, which we later discovered was a sample of his own dung in a Carl's donut box. Okay, okay, okay, folks, pardon me for just a moment while we figure out what's got Bill so riled up. What's the trouble, Bill? We got a good show going here.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Former employee.

[Blake Palmer]

Oh, yeah? Really?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

This may be the real deal, the one we've been waiting for.

[Blake Palmer]

So take the fucking call, okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep. Keep him on the line and patch him through line six. Okay, I'm on it. I'm on it. I'm on it. Okay, folks, we'll have to return to tonight's topic of extradimensional beings and government bullshit some other time. Because right now we have an incredibly rare opportunity waiting on line six. And I make no apologies for this interruption. As longtime listeners know, I've spent years digging into the shady operations of the Telders Corporation. From their disastrous deep sea colony on the ocean floor to rumors of an army of mandrills in the Philippines outfitted with biomechanical implants to what might have been a deadly gravitational singularity deployed in North Korea. But. But the caller we have waiting tonight may be the one we've been hoping for. True believers. Because he claims to have firsthand knowledge of the long rumored Telders Corp. Antarctica project. And we're going live with him right now. Are you there, caller?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I am, but I don't think I have a whole lot of time.

[Blake Palmer]

That's okay, caller. Whatever you have to say, we're here to listen. First things first. What should we call you? I assume you're not going to give us your real name.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Like it matters now. You can call me Jonathan.

[Bill Limehouse (Producer)]

Okay.

[Blake Palmer]

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Jonathan. Welcome to the program. Now you don't have to tell us where you are, Jonathan, but are you someplace safe?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Safe? No. No I'm not. I have been running across the country for about a week now. Sleeping in my car, at truck stops and in the woods. I have to keep mo.

[Station 151 Narrator]

Jesus.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

They'll triangulate on the signal really, really soon.

[Blake Palmer]

And at this moment, Jonathan, do you believe your life is in danger?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Oh, 100%. And once I say what I'm about to say, these people, they'll come after me.

[Blake Palmer]

And when you say these people, you mean Telders Corp?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

The Telders Corporation.

[Blake Palmer]

Alright, Jonathan, let's. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? My producer tells me that you have some information about the so called Antarctica project. What can you tell us about that?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Yes, it's called Station 151. It's a facility designed and constructed by the Tetos Corporation Dart Projects team on Alexander Island, Antarctica. They built it directly over the ruins of an older base called Ablation Point, which the UK constructed and then for whatever reason, abandoned years later.

[Blake Palmer]

Alright, Jonathan, I want to hear everything you have to say. But I'm gonna have to play skeptic for a moment because that's part of the job. The thing you're describing, Station 151, it only exists in rumor, like many of our listeners, I've seen a few of the so called photos. And yeah, the station in Antarctica looks real enough. But plenty of people question their authenticity. Some say it's nothing but photo fakery. It could be anything. And we've seen this before, you know. The face on Mars. The Apollo moon landing set photos. The Montauk base photo leaks. Mel's hole.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

No, no, no, Goddammit. They're not doctored photos. It's not a hoax. This isn't some conspiracy theory bullshit like you usually have on your show.

[Blake Palmer]

That hurts, Jonathan.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Station 151 is real. That's a facility partially buried under the Antarctic ice. Funded by Touters Corporation operated in total secrecy, doing God knows what. And whatever's down there is.

[Blake Palmer]

Is. It's what, Jonathan?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Not human.

[Blake Palmer]

Not human? Well, okay, that's. That's quite a claim. Okay Jonathan, now you've got our attention.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I was there.

[Blake Palmer]

You were there? At the Station 151 in Antarctica?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Yes. Fifteen years ago.

[Blake Palmer]

Fifteen years ago. That's a long time, Jonathan. Why come forward now?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Because I'm tired, Blake. I'm so fucking tired. Do you have any idea what it takes to disappear? To stay disappeared? To stay off the grid from the Telldars Corporation?

[Blake Palmer]

I do not. But I can imagine.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I've been looking over my shoulder for over a decade. No friends, no phone. No patterns. Just running. And then? And then I made one slip up. Just one. And I got word they're on my trail. So I ran again. And I figured if this is it, if I'm finally out of time, then people deserve to know.

[Blake Palmer]

Understood. What you're doing is incredibly brave, Jonathan. My hat's off to you now. You said you were personally there at Station 151, Antarctica?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Yes.

[Blake Palmer]

In what capacity, if I may ask?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I was an embedded systems engineer at Telders.

[Blake Palmer]

Sorry, wait. What kind of engineer?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Embedded Systems embeds design and build the hardware and software that control electronic devices at Teldurs or any similar company. They might bring us in to develop flight controllers for drones, write custom bootloaders or build test harnesses for classified prototypes.

[Blake Palmer]

Right, and when most people think of Telders, they think high tech Gizmos, drones, satellites, AI, advanced weapons platforms. And well of course online shopping, streaming services, reality tv, Internet infrastructure. The list just keeps going on, doesn't it?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Yes, Teldurs has its fingers in just about everything.

[Blake Palmer]

And then there are the rumors. Psychological experiments, virus engineering, biohacking, cloning programs, mind control, time distortion experiments.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I mean, yeah, it's all true. And honestly, that's probably not even the worst of it. In fact, no, it's not the worst of it. Not at all.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, Jonathan, earlier you mentioned something non human. Is that an entity or.

[Anonymous Caller / Skeptic]

That's right.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I saw it with my own eyes. I heard it. Jesus. I watched it do things I. I wish I could forget. Oh my God.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, Jonathan, it's clear you've had a highly disturbing experience and we want to hear every word. But first, we're going to have to take a quick commercial break.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

[Blake Palmer]

And we're back, true believers. We're speaking with a caller identifying himself only as Jonathan. He claims to have encountered a non human entity while working at a secret Telders corporation facility in Antarctica 15 years ago. Now he says he was there personally at the now infamous Station 151, a location long rumored to be part of a telders corporation dark projects operation. Jonathan has been on the run ever since. And now for the first time, he's agreed to describe what he saw. Jonathan, we are all on the edge of our seats. Take us there.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Okay. Oh God. Tell their security forces are on site. Basically a bunch of trigger happy goons sent in to breach the station and clean up some mess later left by this creepy ops guy named Alfieri. It was a kill mission.

[Blake Palmer]

Oh my God.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

And you know what? I wasn't even supposed to be there. Yeah, I'm an embedded systems engineer, but I'm not high up on the chain or anything. My boss, well, something awful happened to him and I just happened to be the only guy in the office that day. So they grabbed me, they threw me in with this squad led by some roid freak named Brock, and suddenly I'm on a plane to Antarctica with no idea what I'm even doing.

[Blake Palmer]

Jonathan, you're saying that you were grabbed for this mission simply because you were the only guy in the office because something awful happened to your boss?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Oh yeah. Oh, he up. Oh my God, he's in the sausage now.

[Blake Palmer]

In the sausage? I've not heard that one, Jonathan. Is that a figure of speech?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

No, no, it's not a figure of speech.

[Bill Limehouse (Producer)]

Not at all.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, all right, back to your story. Back to Antarctica. What were you supposed to do there, Jonathan?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I don't know. We never got that far. I guess maybe I was there to patch some critical firmware bugs. Something deep in a control system that couldn't be fixed remotely. But it all went to hell. So. I don't know.

[Blake Palmer]

It all went to hell, you say?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Oh, you have no fucking idea.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, deep breath, Jonathan. Okay. All right, let's. Let's just walk through it one step at a time. We're here for you. We are listening.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Okay, we landed in a white out. They had us in cold weather gear, helmets, full comms, but nobody knew what the hell was going on. Brock kept yelling at us to stay tight, follow his lead. I didn't know what I was doing. I was just following the guy in front of me into street, the snow. Then boom. Gunfire out of nowhere. And I'm like holy shit. And guy in front of me just grabs me, throws me to the ground and kneels beside me, firing wildly and oh my God, I hear Russians shouting and shooting at shit.

[Blake Palmer]

Wait, wait, Russians?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Yeah, a whole unit. Mercenaries I guess. But what the fuck do I know Anyway, everything's exploding around us. I can hear the whistle of rifle round screaming past us. And then the guy protecting me, he catches one, drops fucking dead right on top of me. I'm in a panic. I Don't know what to do. I don't know how to shoot or fight. I'm just lying there, face down in the snow with this guy's body on top of me.

[Blake Palmer]

Oh my God.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Right? And blood is pouring out of one of his eye sockets onto my forehead, running down my face. I reach up to wipe it away and that's when I see it.

[Blake Palmer]

See it? See what? What, Jonathan?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

It. The non human thing. This shape, this thing moving through it all fast like you wouldn't believe. It tore through the Teldr's guys like they were nothing. It took the Russians apart limb from limb. And the sounds. Oh God, the sounds it made.

[Blake Palmer]

What was it, Jonathan? What? What did it look like?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I don't know. A man, a reptile or a fish, maybe a fish, I don't know. It looked like a man, but. Huge. Over 7ft tall. Broad and long limbed like. Like an Olympic swimmer. And its face. Its face, it wasn't right. Big black eyes, no nose. The mouth. Jesus, the mouth. It's not human. It's not human.

[Blake Palmer]

What else did you see? Can you describe it more?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Jonathan, how the hell am I supposed to describe something to you that isn't even meant to be seen?

[Blake Palmer]

Okay. Okay. You're doing great, Jonathan. We know this isn't easy and you've done a fantastic job so far. If you can hold on a little longer, there's something our listeners are going to want to know, okay?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Yeah.

[Blake Palmer]

Jonathan, how the heck did you get out of there alive?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Oh, Jesus. It's just. I mean, I had a dead man lying on top of me. That was all the COVID I needed, I guess. So I just laid there in the freezing snow until it was over with. I. I heard things, strange things. But I didn't move. God, it seems like hours, I don't know. And then I used the radio and one of the helicopters to contact USAP at Palmer and give them. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. You hear that? No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Blake Palmer]

They found me.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

I think they.

[Blake Palmer]

Jonathan? Jonathan. Jonathan, are you still with us? Jonathan? Jonathan, if you can hear me, we're still live. You can. Oh, folks, my producer is signaling to me that we've lost the color. True Believers. Over the last 15 years I've heard a lot of tall tales and strange accounts from callers to the show. Some have been quite eye opening and some have been downright disturbing. But this one, this one was something else. I believe we just heard an extraordinary real account from an incredibly brave individual who I hope is still out there somewhere. And if you are Jonathan, if you can get back in touch with us, we'd like to hear the rest of your story. Until then, folks, we are left with only what we've heard and how that profoundly changes what we think we know. Okay, let's take a commercial break.

[Roz Hernandez]

From the darkest corners of our imagination comes a game show that's more ridiculous than terrifying. Welcome to Tickled to Death. I'm your host, Roz Hernandez, and I'll be guiding guests through the creepy questions and chaotic games, all to win the ultimate title of horror movie champion. Listen to Tickled to Death wherever you get your podcasts and hit follow. Unless you want the show to follow you.

[Blake Palmer]

And we're back, folks. And if you're just joining us, or. Or if you're still trying to process what we've just heard, let me bring you up to speed. We've been speaking tonight with a caller identifying himself only as Jonathan, a former contractor for the Telders Corporation who claims to have been present at a secret Antarctic facility known as Station 151. Now, according to Jonathan, it was a mission gone wrong. He spoke of Russian mercenaries, gun battles, an encounter with a being he described as not human. Jonathan's call ended abruptly, and we haven't been able to reconnect, but his story remains. And now we want to hear from you. So let's go to the phones. East of the Rockies. You're on the air. Hello? Thank you very much, my friend. Where are you calling from?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Oh, man, that was intense. But I knew that shit was happening. I knew that shit was happening, man. Seriously. I was, like, sitting here with my boys, dribble and queefing them, and I was just. I was just saying that I knew that shit was happening, but. But. But, you know, that was before. That was before the show started, so. Yeah, you know.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, then, if I dare ask.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Oh, yeah.

[Blake Palmer]

What do Gerbil and Queef and them have to say now?

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Oh, I don't know, man. They didn't hear the show, man. They, like, they took some cash and they left for a taco bang bang about three hours ago, you know, to pick up some feed and. And bring it back.

[Blake Palmer]

Three hours ago?

[Station 151 Narrator]

Yeah.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Yeah.

[Blake Palmer]

Well, I hate to say this, caller, but Gerbil and Queef and them aren't coming back.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Huh. Well, but. Ow. Ow.

[Blake Palmer]

Those. Oh, my God. Encourage your kids to stay in school, folks. Let's take another call. All right, line two collar, you're on the air.

[Palmer Station Caller]

Hi. I. I'm. I'm not giving you my name. Blake, so don't ask, but I worked down there on the ice. Palmer Station, weather desk and flight operations, two seasons.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, caller, you were there for a couple of seasons. What do you know?

[Palmer Station Caller]

So there was this pilot I knew. Flew a twin engine Beljet Ranger. You know, one of those bush pilots who would haul gear, scientists and whatever else needed transportation. You know, he was one of the few who would take you out even when the weather was bad.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, go on.

[Palmer Station Caller]

Right, so one night he was grounded at Palmer. We had drinks and probably a few too many. He let something slip that's been bothering me for years. He said he had been flying people out to a place called Station 151. He named it outright.

[Blake Palmer]

That name again. Station 151. Go ahead, caller.

[Palmer Station Caller]

At the time, I'd never heard of this place, so I asked him what it was, and that's when he got quiet, you know, leaning across the table and whispering. He said he'd done things, seen things, terrible things. But he quickly shut his mouth after that. Got real nervous about who might be in the bar with us. He wouldn't talk about it after that, and weeks later, he wouldn't even acknowledge that we'd had the conversation.

[Blake Palmer]

Well, that's something for sure, caller. But if you don't mind me asking, how do you know that this guy.

[Palmer Station Caller]

I don't know what that place was, but I knew this guy pretty well. Like, yeah, he was into some extra work off book jobs and such, but that's how it works down there. If you're not with the NSF or the science team, you make your money where you can. A lot of us were like that. Some folks knew more than they should.

[Station 151 Narrator]

Should.

[Palmer Station Caller]

And some of them aren't around anymore. Like my pilot friend. I don't know, I just. I thought you'd want to know.

[Blake Palmer]

Huh. Well, that one felt real. Folks, if you're just joining us, you're listening to True Believer, and we are Talking about Station 151, allegedly a secret Telders Corp. Facility in Antarctica. Let's keep it going. Next caller, west of the Rockies, you're on the air.

[Palmer Station Caller]

Hi, Blake. Love the show.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Longtime fan.

[Palmer Station Caller]

And I want to talk about Bigfoot.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Believe it or not, my brother actually.

[Palmer Station Caller]

Saw Bigfoot once while he was camping near Sultan, Washington.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, Carla, we're not doing Bigfoot tonight. I don't care if your brother saw Bigfoot, a Dogman, or the Jersey Devil. This is not that show.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

But this Bigfoot spoke French.

[Blake Palmer]

We are talking about the Telders Corporation in Antarctica, and we're staying on topic, please be respectful of our guests and listeners.

[Jonathan (Caller / Former Telders Engineer)]

Nobody wants to hear my Bigfoot story.

[Blake Palmer]

Let's go to the first time caller line. You're on the air.

[Anonymous Caller / Skeptic]

Good evening, Blake. First time caller.

[Blake Palmer]

Welcome to True Believer. Friend. What's on your mind tonight?

[Anonymous Caller / Skeptic]

Your last caller, Jonathan, none of what he said was true. There is no station 151. There never was. And you're not gonna hear from him.

[Blake Palmer]

Well, now, that's a bold statement. Can you provide any evidence to support your claims? No.

[Anonymous Caller / Skeptic]

And you won't find any evidence because it didn't happen. And that's all I called to say.

[Blake Palmer]

Hang on, friend. I can't just leave this alone. I have sources, reputable sources that say.

[Anonymous Caller / Skeptic]

Blake, if you continue to go down this rabbit hole, it'll swallow you whole. You'll disappear just like Jonathan.

[Blake Palmer]

Now wait a minute, caller. This is my damn show.

[Anonymous Caller / Skeptic]

Then you should be more careful, Blake. People like you, you think you're safe sitting behind a microphone in a beat up mobile studio parked at the Tamarack Flat Campground just off tioga Road, Mile 37.

[Blake Palmer]

What? How do you know that?

[Anonymous Caller / Skeptic]

Want me to have someone knock on the door later tonight? Blake? What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?

[Blake Palmer]

Blake, are. Who are you? Are you threatening me?

[Anonymous Caller / Skeptic]

Call it what you want, Blake. Call it whatever helps you sleep tonight. Just do it with one eye open.

[Blake Palmer]

Okay, folks, that. That was. That was disturbing. Yeah, I think that's. That's. That's gonna do it for tonight. Take care of yourselves. And we are off the air.

The war is over and both sides lost. Kingdoms were reduced to cinders and armies scattered like bones in the dust. Now the survivors claw to what they left of a broken world, praying the darkness chooses someone else tonight. But in the shadowdark, the darkness always wins. This is old school adventuring at its most cruel. Your torch ticks down in real time and when that flame dies, something else rises to finish the job. This is a brutal rules light nightmare with a story that emerges organically based on the decisions of the character. This is what it felt like to play RPGs in the 80s and man, it is so good to be back. Join the Glass Cannon podcast as we plunge into the Shadow dark every Thursday night at 8pm Eastern on YouTube.com theglasscanon with the podcast version dropping the next day. See what everybody's talking about and join us in the dark.

[Vulgar History Host]

Oh, the Regency era. You might know it as the time when Bridgerton takes place or the time when Jane Austen wrote her book, but the Regency Era was also an explosive time of social change, sex scandals, and maybe the worst king in British history. And on the Vulgar History podcast, we're going to be looking at the balls, the gowns and all the scandal of the Regency era. Vulgar History is a women's history podcast and our Regency Era series will be focusing on the most rebellious women of this time. That includes Jane Austen herself, who is maybe more radical than you might have thought. We'll also be talking about queer icons like Anne Lister, scientists like Mary Anning and Ada Lovelace, as well as other scandalous actresses, royal mistresses, rebellious princesses, and other lesser known figures who made history happen in England in the Regency Era. Listen to Vulgar History wherever you get podcasts.
