My favorite comment to date.
Add an unhealthy level of Daddy issues. Pinch of potential romances at every corner. And ghosts, lots and lots of ghosts.

I HAVE A GOD DAMN PLAN, to listen to this for the rest of the day! Honestly between this new beauty and the Port Sulphur Band record I am in hog heaven while I finish up some writing and planning for the next podcast episodes.
A timely quote.
Dutch was many things, but at the end of the day he was a Dreamer.
RDR2 informs a lot for the show and if you ever want a peak into the creative process of the podcast know that most episodes of DW come with a few hours of riding around in RDR2.

Seance in the White House Fun fact: Mary Lincoln hosted many Seances in the Red Room of the White House after her son Willie died.
Show Update:
We have a family member undergoing open heart surgery this week so my household is doing a lot of planning and prep, physically and mentally. Due to this tomorrow's episode will be delayed until Tues, the 28th. Sorry for the inconvenience but thank you so much for your patience. For clarity, they are going to be on a 48-hour constant watch cycle afterwards and the reality of it is that this will come down to my partner and I alternating this time between us while also tending to the rest of our family, and my job. Cuz Capitalism don't stop.
For anyone interested we have kicked up a Discord Server for folks to talk about the show, show off some gothic artwork, share some music, whatever!

Dead West Visual Trailer
So, I make little trailers like this for projects I do as sort of a moving mood board. Something about them scratches an itch in my brain. So here is the one I did for DW the moment I heard the final version of the Theme Music from Sage. I still get chills when I get to drop that glorious piece of art into each episode of the show. You know what? I should do some of these for funsies for other shows too! Hmmmm. Who to unabashedly show some love to first?
Update on the rating bomb for Dead West Podcast
Hey all, so this is going to be my final rant/note/update on this whole rating bombing situation. The situation is still happening with more negative reviews coming in, even today. Please, note, I am in no way mad or upset about this or the results of it, a little hurt sure but I will carry on. I am just writing this as a living record and update for those who have tried helping me out in all of this. This is the work and result of someone(s) who are probably feeling hurt, estranged, and angry at people other than myself, I am just the current target or a fresh reminder of the things they have dealt with directly or otherwise.
I have dealt with cyber-bullying before so this is nothing new. I would be lying if I said it didn't suck and it didn't hurt but at the same time they are clearly hurting so much more that they are going to such lengths. So, I wish them peace and I hope one day they are willing to engage in a good faith conversation about a way forward that uplifts fellow creators and not tears them down. At the end of the day, I have my art and even if it comes down to a 1-star average with the only listener being my best friend then so be it. I will still tell my silly little ghost stories. Thanks for reading! Everything in the attached doc is just for the record and to help me process the last bits of this. Now onto more ghost stories!!!! https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Y3QbkwQBDS7oA_x3G-i4TSyl6LrcCsG1cVpam9wUOQ/edit?usp=sharing

This clip features Devin Steffens as Conrad.
Getting rating bombed on your Audio Fiction podcast for being a guest on another show by a single person over many different accounts is WILD. And so very immature. I just started my show a few months ago and already see in the sparse data I have how much it has impacted growth and discoverability. Kill em with kindness and move on I guess?
Inspired by our friends @theholmwoodfoundation who posted theirs here as well. Be sure to check out their show! If you do, leave them a rating/review and let them know the team from Dead West sent ya!
