295 - Outlaws of Thunder Junction with Akemi Dawn Bowman May 20, 2024

Show notes

We're taking one last look back into the sunset as we wrap up all discussions about Outlaws of Thunder Junction in an interview with the author herself, Akemi Dawn Bowman! You may remember Bowman's work back in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, where she wrote about a young man trying to find someone he'd lost while getting wrapped up in a multi-planar story featuring a villain's first-time story appearance and another villain's return to story after many years away. She does it again in OTJ, and we're here to ask her all about it! If you like our podcast, thank you! We like you, too!

Show notes

The train's pulling up to the station and you have to face the choice: Do you listen to us discuss episodes 3 and 4 of the main story and the side story "A Pleasant Family Outing," or do you tuck tail and run away? We're continuing our discussions of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction stories by Akemi Dawn Bowman this week with the two main story episodes, "A Train to Prosperity" and "Finding Tarnation." But halfway through "Finding Tarnation," we got waylaid by the dastardly Seanan McGuire once again with her side story, "A Pleasant Family Outing"!

You can follow him on Bluesky (isaac-fellman.bsky.social) and subscribe to his newsletter at https://isaacs-law.ghost.io/. You can support The Vorthos Cast at www.Patreon.com/TheVorthosCast!
