Greg Stolze@gregstolze.bsky.social · 9mo agoI've been listening to CONVERSATIONS WITH GHOSTS from @dead-signals.bsky.social and really enjoying it -- I loved ARCHIVE 81, but this is a different animal, more episodic, less lore-heavy and real true History Nerd stuff. 1/2
Don't you want to hear more about the fascinating, complicated history of Tammany Hall?
Conversations with Ghosts, from the creators of Archive 81@dead-signals.bsky.social · 9mo agoFor Xmas Eve, how about listening to a Tammany Hall politician who won't pass on until Mal assures him that St. Peter will get a bribe? Yep, it's the latest episode of Conversations with Ghosts, filled with backroom NYC politics and Gilded Age history. open.spotify.com/episode/18Vu...
this one's about depression and cats
Conversations with Ghosts, from the creators of Archive 81@dead-signals.bsky.social · 9mo agoNew episode of Conversations with Ghosts! Mal talks to a comedian! She's funny, but, you know, sad. (according to a comment, it made someone cry, so, fair warning I guess) Listen wherever you get your podcasts. open.spotify.com/episode/5aqP...

Ok - 4 days left, 25% to go. It's doable but it won't be easy. I've been quite severely ill for the last month, and whilst I've been waiting for a treatment to keep me on my feet for more than a week, this campaign has almost passed. So I'm asking for help. Please boost this if you can.

no idea why this is labeled 'graphic media' - it's just old timey baseball stuff.

one of the coolest things about writing Conversations with Ghosts was diving into NYC history. And today, when the city is vibrating with energy and a (different, fake) Dodgers team just won the world series, I'm super excited to share this episode.
Conversations with Ghosts, from the creators of Archive 81@dead-signals.bsky.social · 10mo agoWe absolutely didn't plan to release this right after the world series ended... but the new episode of Conversations with Ghosts is all about baseball! And the Brooklyn Dodgers! And loss and regret and all that jazz. Take a listen wherever you get your podcasts! open.spotify.com/episode/66mn...
Love that I get to wake up in a concrete jungle where dreams are made of. Truly, there’s nothing we can’t do.
And if you have listened... please leave a nice review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen! (Also, even if we made a trailer just to have something in the feed before we released the first episode... Dan did a great job on the trailer)
Conversations with Ghosts, from the creators of Archive 81@dead-signals.bsky.social · 10mo agoIf you haven't checked out #conversationswithghosts, the new podcast from the creators of #archive81 - you absolutely should. It's available wherever you get your podcasts, and there's three episodes already in the feed, with a fourth one coming tomorrow.

listen to Pal! And also check out The Harbingers!
Pal (she/they)@palguy87.bsky.social · 10mo agoWant to recommend two new podcasts here. The first is @dead-signals.bsky.social (Conversations With Ghosts). This is made by the brilliant people behind Archive 81 (still one of my favorite things) and the album Generation Crossing. It is, predictably, beautifully written and acted and produced.
