Mike is a longtime podcaster, and host of the show The Newest Olympianwhich seeks to answer the question, “Has society been sleeping on the Percy Jackson series?”. His new show, Professional Talkers, is a comedic advice podcast all about navigating life’s awkward conversations with Sequoia Simone.

We wanted to talk about working in audio, and coming to the artform of podcasting, and so we sat down for a delightful game of The Cryptid Show, a two-player conversational RPG about a call-in radio show host answering a caller’s questions about their recent supernatural experience.

465 – Shitty Ensigns with Dan Ludwig

Dan is one half of Breaking Mayberry, an anti-nostalgia podcast about watching old TV (starting with, as the title suggests, The Andy Griffith Show) and figuring out how it broke your grandparents’ brains.

After last week’s episode all about analyzing TV and talking about storytelling, we wanted to spotlight the fun and goofiness of old genre TV. And we couldn’t have found a better example than Shitty Ensigns, an RPG about poorly equipped Starfleet ensigns bumbling their way through missions.

451 – See Issue X with Third Person

Third Person (Matt, Sara, and Xen) are the trio of writers/performers behind Midstone of my actual favorite audio fiction shows of all time. I love Midst so much in fact, that we decided to turn Party of One into… Party of Three for an episode to get to share a table with them.
