The Weird

Created by 3 queer, nonbinary dorks, The Weird is a podcast about spooky, goofy nonsense in a game We Wrote Ourselves Oh God for the PbtA system:

Hal Bishop is pushing papers at the CIA when he finds himself unexpectedly and unexplainedly transferred to The Department of Transportation. More specifically, to the Department of the Weird, a tiny, unacknowledged office that lives in the bowels of the DOT, tasked with responding to any reports of the paranormal, supernatural, or just plain weird.

Ash Delaney is the head and sole member of the DOW. They would love to tell you all about how they once got carried across town by The Mothman or lost the ability to accurately perceive time after getting attacked by an angry psychic in Montana. Hal Bishop would rather stick his arm down a garbage disposal.

Together, Bishop and Delaney will take on ill-tempered terrors, discover startling secrets, sing some Dolly Parton, and try not to get murdered by demons. (They will probably get murdered by demons). So, are you ready to get Weird?

Ok so, this is complicated, I guess? Or maybe not even complicated, just kinda embarrassing in that we aren’t great at communicating. We currently aren’t making ANY episodes right now, free or otherwise, bc the three of us all got stupid burned out and then kept working on the show anyway bc we loved it so much until we were turbo-burned out like a bunch of dummies.

As far as I (Megan) know, I think Charles might still update game stuff on the patreon, and has like, the V1 version of the gamebook you can download I think.

With the show in hiatus, the discord is not really show-centric anymore, but just kinda a chill place a bunch of folks hang out in for funsies.

Will there ever be new episodes? I…dunno 😬. Which is a sucky answer but with one-third of the cast kind of permanently busy with their main projects and the other two of us not exactly chomping at the bit to figure out how to work around that, there isn’t a good answer. Ideally, we’d like to finish it, we had an ending written out and everything. Maybe we’ll just release that at some point?
