Mike and Chris sit back to explore... Beast: the Primordial?! That's right, the show begins with a positive review of the final two chapters of the Beast Players Guide, and then dives into other news, like the V5 preorders, return of Vampire: the Eternal Struggle to print, and upcoming Cyberpunk Live Action events. In the World of Darkness segment, Mike discusses Wraith's Risen as portrayed in Hunter: the Walking Dead.

What is this, some sort of joke? Mike and Chigg present a humorous episode on H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, exploring four of his short stories in an extra long secret frequency. This episode also includes some super out-dated news from 2017, blasphemous rumors, and a compelling analysis of Boston game stores.

Despite high power government jamming, reducing audio quality to one quarter, Mike and Chigg start up the Secret Frequency once more. They diseminate critical storyteller information about pirate radio stations, historical cases of broadcast signal intrusion, and finally, the Toynbee Tiles. Stay tuned for Part 1, coming soon.
Do not adjust your podcatcher. We control the vertical, and the horizontal. And The Messengers definitely aren't angels.
