The Dog Dies In The End

The Chicago Episode

Episode 26 of A Place To Stray. Sometimes, naming a podcast episode is a creative outlet in and of itself. You measure puns against each other, trying out different wordplays and cadences. Brevity is an art form unto itself, and a great title is an enormous victory. And sometimes, you went to Chicago. And titles are hard. Follow the Instagram @placetostraypod

Storygraphorisms

Episode 25 of A Place to Stray. About 18 months ago, I made an episode about data presentation (thrilling, I know). Everyone yelled at me to stop using Goodreads, because I complained about the lack of graphs and data it provides, and to switch to Storygraph instead. I did that and have been a Storygrapher since. Now it's high time I yelled back. Follow the Instagram @placetostraypod

Half a Life Away

Episode 24 of A Place to Stray. How much of you at 13 years old self is still a part of your current self? That was a real person, with thoughts and opinions. And, if you're 26 like me, you've doubled that kid's experience of life. Maybe you've had the same thoughts I had, when I sat on that idea for a while. How much do you remember? And what would that kid think of you, if you were to meet? Follow the Instagram @placetostraypod

The Dog Dies In The End

Episode 23 of A Place To Stray. Disclaimer: No animals, real or fictional, were harmed in the making of this episode. But like. Would you still listen if a fictional dog didn't make it through? And if you knew a dog was in it, would you want to know in advance whether they survive or not? Sure, there's a 90 minute episode in that premise. Whatever you say, Stephen.

The 1985 Episode

Did you know that the release of Super Mario Bros on the NES is now closer to the Second World War than to the present day? Isn't that CRAZY? Isn't that NUTS? Isn't that INSANE? No? You don't think so? Not especially? I mean, 1985 was a long time ago now, you're right. But like... Isn't it BIZARRE? Enjoy an hour of that kind of insight, everyone.
