The Problem: A Lockwood and Co Podcast

Alan has an audio journal of all the books he is reading in 2026 called “I Read.” For October he is reading all of Scarlett and Browne and all of Lockwood and Co! What are the ways these stories are the same and how are they different? Come check it out and please share your thoughts.

Caitlin and Alan have a gaming podcast named “Inferior Gaming.” If you like listening to us talk about stories, maybe try out us talking about role playing games. We aren’t good at games, or even that good at talking about them, but we have original ideas and a lot of fun. Inferior Gaming!

Caitlin and Alan debate if Christmas is Heaven or Hell, what counts as Micro Fiction, and wrap up the whole podcast! Maybe. We know nothing about English food at Christmas time, but that won’t stop us from talking about it. We sneak in a lot of Scarlette and Browne thoughts. We find The Apple Tree to be a very sad story- but so well done.
