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?

In this bonus episode, the Breachers make a call to The Supernatural Protection Company for… insurance purposes?

The events of this collab take place shortly after Episode 4 of Syntax, so you don’t need to be fully caught up with the first season to enjoy! Working with Saph at SPC was an amazing experience, and we are so glad to bring a little bit more comedy into our universe while we prep for Season 2!

Please check out @thespcpodcast’s feed in just a bit for the episode, as they will also be posting a special YouTube version later on! We hope you enjoy greatly, and please check out The Supernatural Protection Company on your listening platform of choice 🖤💜
