*New free episode* Ep36: Why has Fallout: New Vegas stuck around for so long?

All bets are off

Hi everyone, I hope your weekend was pleasant.

I’ve decided to make the New Vegas episode from 2024 free for a limited time just to give our unfortunate free subscribers a sample of what the “bread and butter” episodes of the podcast are like. This one was great, honestly. I recommend turning the playback speed up to 1.5x or 2x to make things a bit more listenable.

Other Fallout episodes:

Ep33: The new Fallout TV show is really, really, bad (Paid)

Ep35: The differences between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 are a little too relevant to today’s problems (Paid)

Upgrade to paid subscription

As always, I strongly recommend upgrading to a paid subscription, we have a lot of cool new paid-exclusive content on the way: Lots of paid episodes that have all been very well received. Our highly anticipated politics mailbag episodes are going to be launching this week.

We also recently finished half of a group readthrough of Always with Honor: The Memoirs of General Wrangel and will be kicking off the second half shortly (I have an extra credit assignment cooked up). The book club episodes are some of my favorite content that I’ve done on Substack so far, it really is a lot of fun to go through the book again with the high human capital that has accumulated in our beautiful paid-exclusive comments section.

Mystery Grove Book Club Meeting 1: Always with Honor Chapters 1-3

Mystery Grove Book Club Meeting 2: Always with Honor Chapters 4-6

Mystery Grove Book Club Meeting 3: Always with Honor Chapters 7-9

The most recent podcast episodes are below, pretty much everything over the last two years has been paid-exclusive. Paid subs help support my work a lot and I think you would enjoy the benefits as well.
