Episode 10: Well, That Was an Episode Alright
<p>Well, that surely was an episode. We do our best to reflect on the season as a whole and consider why some of these decisions might've been made. We try to identify a few of the things that we felt were missing to have made it work. And how do we feel about where the characters are now? It depends.</p> <p>We've still got some transcripts to finish, but will be on hiatus otherwise for the foreseeable future.</p> <p>Ruth: If you're missing Lovecraft Country, we encourage you to check out the <a href="https://theconvention.fiyahlitmag.com/the-ignyte-awards/">IGNYTE awards finalists list</a> for tons of new worlds to explore. The awards are sponsored by <a href="https://theconvention.fiyahlitmag.com/">FIYAHCon, for BIPOC+ in speculative fiction</a>, to “celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of the current and future landscapes of science fiction, fantasy, and horror." The awards include novels, novellas, short stories, young adult, comics, anthologies, podcasts and more. It includes some of my favorite reading of the last year, plus plenty of stuff for my to-read and listen lists!</p> <p class="credits">Intro music from "The Ninth Crewman" by <a href="https://patrickdearteaga.com/horror-music/">Patrick de Arteaga</a>.

Episode 9: Coming Full Circle in Tulsa
<p>Content note: This week we'll be talking about the episode which takes place during the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. We primarily discuss family relationships and plot threads and how they connect to this week's events. Rather than do a media break, we'd recommend our fellow white listeners spend some time learning how widespread such massacres were and spend time reflecting on the knowledge, connection, sense of home, and lives taken.</p> <p>There is also a technical issue in this episode. Rachel was using a very old microphone which began giving out during the episode. Ruth did her best to salvage it for the episode, but next week should be better.</p> <p class="credits">Intro music from "The Ninth Crewman" by <a href="https://patrickdearteaga.com/horror-music/">Patrick de Arteaga</a>.

Episode 8: Haunted by White Imagination
<p>In one of the most terrifying episodes yet, Dee is left on her own to face down police violence, evil magic, and two monstrous creatures dreamed up by white imagination. And let's not forget the trauma of her mother's disappearance and the murders of her father and good friend. She began the series as a little girl with a beautiful Afrofuturist vision and we don't want her to lose that—but as Montrose says, they keep taking.</p> <p>All the adults, except Montrose, are caught up in making devil's bargains with Christina. Montrose really tries to come through for Dee, but it's not what she needs. On that note, the Harvard Gazette recently published <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/the-1921-tulsa-race-massacre-and-its-enduring-financial-fallout/">a story on the financial fallout of the Tulsa massacre</a>. Nor was that the only one. The authors mention that every lynching was a reminder the entire community that personal security, freedom to work and innovate, could be taken away at any moment. It's true and also so much more, which we see in the devastation Montrose carries.</p> <p>While the shoggoth who never skips leg day can't fix things, it evens the score a little bit in this episode.</p> <p>Ruth: While we shouted-out <a href="http://www.darkerhuestudios.com/projects">Chris Spivey's work</a> in one of our earliest media breaks, I want to talk about the <strong>Harlem Unbound</strong> RPG setting again in light of this week's episode. Like our protagonists, you may cast dangerous spells, carry curses, and fight monsters who just happen to be the police—you'd be lucky to get a Lovecraftian monster on your side, and by lucky I mean it would come with a dangerous consequence, for sure. The first edition <a href="http://www.darkerhuestudios.com/shop/digital-copy-harlem-unbound">sold-out in print and available as PDF</a> supports the Call of Cthulhu and Trail of Cthulhu systems. The second <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/harlem-unbound-2nd-edition-hardcover/">available now in PDF and for pre-order</a> supports Call of Cthulhu 7th edition and includes 4 new scenarios. You can check out an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00R_FyGMBOg">August 2020 actual-play of "Harlem Hellfighters Never Die"</a></p> <p class="credits">Intro music from "The Ninth Crewman" by <a href="https://patrickdearteaga.com/horror-music/">Patrick de Arteaga</a>.
