ANDREW: [continues the dramatic ‘movie trailer’ voice, but mumbles and slurs into incoherence]

here's the image from Kieron Gillen's Die that I reference in the episode when talking about my monument

three panels from an issue of Die by Kieron Gillen; they depict a narrow stone path leading up a cliffside towards a glowing white waterfall. A rope bridge connects two paths in the foreground. The cliffs are a muted blue, but there's a red or dark pink glow shining up on them from below. Several small, silhouetted figures are descending the pathway towards the rope bridge.

also if you haven't listened to Venture, this is what you've missed out on

CHRISTINE: Right, so… [chuckles] So Serafina tells you that Raphael was speaking to—I’m not calling him known criminal Nowm Crininal! I’m not doing it! We have to give this character a real name.
[laughter]
ANDREW: How hard is it?
CHRISTINE: I can’t say it without laughing.
ANDREW: Serafina says that Raphael was talking to known criminal Nowm Crininal.
SAM: [cackles]
CHRISTINE: Well, now you’ve said it, so I don’t have to.
ANDREW: Yeah. No, that’s fine. This is my character connection. You just have to play known criminal Nowm Crimininal.

The Unexplored Places@unexploredcast· Feb 5

just want to once again shout out what an incredible job @rainapuddles.bsky.social does on our transcripts, especially because we do NOT make it easy for her

ANDREW: So, if she says that Raphael was talking to known criminal… um.
CHRISTINE: Yeah, that’s his name, first name Known, surname Criminal.
ANDREW: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
ANDREW: Noam Criminal… Crininal.
CHRISTINE: [laughs]
SAM: [types notes]
ANDREW: No, Crininal.
SAM: Crininal. Thank you.
ANDREW: Noam Crininal.
CHRISTINE: Bad.
ANDREW: Also, not gnome like the fantasy race, Noam as in Noam Chomsky.
CHRISTINE: Noam as in Noam Chomsky?
SAM: Oh, okay, like that.
ANDREW: Nope, that’s like Alaska.

CHRISTINE: I don’t think that’s how you spell Noam.
SAM: Wait, is that how the place in Alaska is spelled? Nome?
ANDREW: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
SAM: Oh my god!
CHRISTINE: N-O-M-E is the place in Alaska. N-O-A-M is…
SAM: N-O-A-M.
ANDREW: N-O-A-M is the Chomsky, is the linguist.
CHRISTINE: …is the linguist.
SAM: Okay, let me fix it.
CHRISTINE: Great. I’m glad that Google Drive has decided to red underline the word Crininal but not the word Nowm, N-O-W-M. Nowm? Has it become Nowm?
ANDREW: Wait, Sam, did you also write “city of-fish-ials”? Because I also—
SAM: Wait, did you do that?!
ANDREW: No! I just had that thought in my head, and I was gonna type it into the Discord chat, and then I wasn’t sure how to spell it so that the joke would come across. My brain also said, yeah, the City of Fishles.
SAM: Yeah, City of Fishles.
ANDREW: And then my brain thought of that Red Hot Chili Peppers song, Under The Bridge. [singing] The city I live in, the City of Fishles!

Gossip for the cause: shadow curse, errant magic, city of fish-uhls (this is my favorite) have been secretive.
Asius describes Raphael & asks for info — apparently he was talking to known criminal Nowm Crininal, homegrown, who is famous for the crimes he does.
Cal directs us to The Moth & Flame (underbelly establishment)

Next week in East Haven Heights volume 2, a familiar face returns...

The Unexplored Places@unexploredcast· Jun 30

One more day until East Haven Heights volume 2! Ben did an amazing job for the cover art of this miniseason with the character descriptions we sent him — anyone want to guess, before tomorrow, who is playing who?

Silhouettes of four figures stand against a blue cityscape backdrop, reflected in the ground beneath their feet. One is a medium height woman in skinny jeans and a cardigan, and her reflection is wearing a tutu; one is a taller man in a flannel shirt and jeans, and his reflection is wearing an ankle length cape and holding a spear; one is a taller woman with short hair and a long leather coat, and her reflection is wearing the costume of a Roman soldier with a small shield and short sword; one is a short woman in wide-legged jeans and chin-length hair, and her reflection is wearing a spandex supersuit. On the left, there is a reflection of a person in a structured jacket whose bottom half is fading away.
