Binary System Podcast #178 - WTNV #148 "The Broadcaster"

<p>Original broadcast date May 23, 2019. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2019/05/binary-system-podcast-178-wtnv-148-the-broadcaster/</p> <p>The latest episode of Welcome to Night Vale features the triumphant return of radio host Leonard Burton, all on his lonesome in the radio booth.</p> <p>And the town.</p> <p>And possibly the universe.</p> <p>Get yourself something comforting to drink - and possibly a night light - because the side-effects from the Blood Space War are really, <em>really </em>bad.</p> <p>Needing a distraction after that, the twins share a theory they found about how the switch from a character-driven to a plot-driven story may have made this last season of Game of Thrones a completely different creature from the previous seven seasons. This led to a discussion of another character-driven story (Adam Warren's "Empowered" series), and a quick review of some artists who's styles have evolved over the years, some successfully, others...less so.</p> <p>This week's outro music is a clip from <a href="https://raqia.bandcamp.com/track/subspace">Subspace</a> by RAQIA. I highly recommend buying the song on Bandcamp; it's just as lovely as the one featured on the WTNV episode, but it also has an added violin track! https://raqia.bandcamp.com/track/subspace</p> <p>The (spoiler-free) Twitter thread that gives a point-by-point argument for why the final season of Game of Thrones is making people angry starts <a href="https://twitter.com/DSilvermint/status/1125856091261136896">here</a>. https://twitter.com/DSilvermint/status/1125856091261136896</p> <p><br></p>
