Show notes

Loyal Policies- there is no chance for a fulfilling life outside of HartLife. Whatever you may hear in these recordings today- know that all Outsiders, whatever security or peace they may appear to have created for themselves, will die cold, lonely deaths in the frozen wastes outside our walls. The Outside is dark, and full of wolves. The Outside is dark, and full of wolves. The Outside is dark, and full of wolves.

Listen, and remember.

7.3- Monsters and memories Jul 22, 2026

Show notes

Loyal Policies- the truth can be a hard algae-pill to swallow. No matter how you may feel about the villainous, disloyal Policies confined to the Cube, do not be swayed. Their re-education is just. Their treatments are mandated. Their care is rationally considered and metered to restore them to peak functionality and efficiency. They have forgotten their place within HartLife. Do not forget your

6.18- The Rise and Fall of Charles Wynn May 27, 2026

Show notes

Charles Wynn: Project Manager, loyal policy, and hero of small children everywhere. Many stories have been told about his life, his works, his efforts on behalf of the company. Perhaps some of you rarefied listeners in the Tower may even have known him personally. For the first time ever, we are pleased to bring you an accurate recounting of his time Outside during the Ant Wars.

Loyal Policies, no matter what you hear, be it from the Hendersonian Occupiers, Outsider Invaders, or even from the mouth of Charles Wynn himself, remeber: the Outside is Cold, and full of Wolves. You cannot survive without HartLife. You can not.
