Thank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! This was the episode where I felt like we really get to take full advantage of the gimmick of this narrative device regarding POVs because Chelsea's paranoia is off the charts and even though I know NONE of the things she mentions are even about her (I don't think), I totally get why she thinks they are. Thanks so much for listening, and I w...

Thank you very much to Claire for commissioning this episode! I'm so annoyed that Jane isn't going to kind of get Rafael to make some serious choices by demanding custody. I get that anger isn't the best and most well-judged motivator, but that man needs to learn some CONSEQUENCES. Thank you so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode! I'm so serious about Yasper being the murderer, folks. I mean it. Something is up, there's something fishy going on with Yasper. I don't WANT there to be, but yes there is. Thank you for listening and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! This was so very much fun, and I just loved it. We've got car chases, we've got a wannabe tough guy, we've got misunderstandings and recontextualization...it's a wonderful, heady mix. Thank you all again for listening, and I can't wait for the next episode!

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode, this book, this entire series. I can't tell you how great it's been to read this, and even better with the other fans who have sprung up since the series has grown in popularity. I hope you all have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Thanks for listening.

Thank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode! I'm delighted with this premier, and I'm really glad that I went into it not knowing anything at all about it. It's a murder mystery, my friends! MY JAM! I'm loving the whole tone of this show so far and I can't wait to see a new POV next episode. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! I can't believe this series is over. The only thing left is the wrap-up episode where I will be reading the bloopers live, but otherwise that's the end of the actual plot and I'm so so sad about it. This ending is really satisfying though, and I have to say that I got more closure than I ever expected. I really really enjoyed all of this. T...

Thank you so much to Claire for commissioning this episode! This is a positively delightful installment of the show, and I'm certain that the wrestling motif is only here for this one episode but I kinda wish it would stick around. The whole thing with Alba and Petra's mother Magda really begins to come to a head here, and I have to confess that I'm really proud of Jane for deciding to ask for ful...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are some of the most satisfying chapters in all of Cradle. That is all.

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! This is the section in which most of the gang ascends without Lindon, and I really didn't fully appreciate how this was going to go. They're held and questioned by the Abidan RE: becoming executors, and meanwhile Lindon is down with Orthos and Blue. He hosts a meeting with the Eight Man Empire and sets some restrictions in place to ensure M...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode. These are the chapters in which Mercy winds up having to kill Malice. Despite being really relieved that Malice is no longer part of the equation, for Mercy's sake I appreciate the seriousness of the writing in this scene. It's a real testament to Will's ability to get me to care. Thanks for listening, and I will see you shortly with a new...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! In these chapters we have the final confrontation between Malice and Mercy, and it's truly a heartbreaking sequence of events. There's just enough humanity left in Malice that I have a moment of thinking she can be saved...but then she just does the thing she always does. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, Lindon uses the echo of Northstrider to remind the monarch of what his values used to be, and get the man to finally ascend. I'm so here for this, I can't even tell you. Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode! In these chapters we find out that Reigan Shen not only can make and break a soul oath with no repercussions on himself whatsoever, but that he has created a device which transfers the pain of it to the remnant of Tiberian Aurelius. GROSS. We also get to watch as Lindon summons Northstrider through space, and it's very very satisfying. Th...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which the Weeping Dragon finally dies, and it very nearly causes everyone's deaths. It's so close, indeed, that Dross doesn't want to even tell Lindon what the odds were even after the fact. However, Lindon does indeed end up with the binding to create a weapon, and we are left to wonder what he's going to make wit...

Thank you once again to Andy for commissioning this episode! In these two chapters we've got Lindon pushing himself to the absolute limit in order to save his friends because they've come through a portal to help him at the almost exact moment that Dross realizes they've been fooled by the Weeping Dragon. I'm delighted with the progress our friends have made, especially getting to see Mercy really...

Thank you so much to Andrew for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters where Orthos and Little Blue turn fully into humans (well mostly full human), and get rescued from the pocket world by Larian of the Eight Man Empire. I am very excited for them joining the fray, even though I understand Lindon's anxiety. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Reigan Shen attacks Ghostwind Hall, and Yerin comes out to face him before having to back right the hell out into the pocket world just before the portal out is destroyed. This turns into a race against time as Mercy and Ziel join her in a battle against the Thunder Fairy and the Sage Of Calling Storms, and I'm over...

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Lindon continues to go after the monarchs and we get to see a shiny new trick of his in which he manages to use Dross to overtake Northstrider's codex and feed him false information. This in turn allows Lindon to feed on Northstrider. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! So these are the chapters in which Ziel seems to make a conscious decision to really try to focus to the best of his ability instead of just going through the motions, despite the fact that he truly seems to think there's no way he is catching up. He's TRYING TO BELIEVE! Also, we get more interference from Monarchs and Lindon pulls an oh-so...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters where Reigan Shen is attempting his first assault to lure Lindon out of Ghostwind Hall and hopefully waste a bunch of his time so that he can't advance. We get to see Lindon put the fear of Ozmanthus into him, and we also get something that I absolutely loved that is very petty. Thanks for listening, and I will see yo...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! I'm so delighted to be getting into this final book and I'm also extremely upset that this book marks the end of the line for our beloved Cradle universe. It feels so good to be back here, and it's really fun to get into the chapter that Will read aloud at that convention, for those who have seen the video. I can't wait to talk about all th...

Thank you very much to Natalia for commissioning this episode! Yes, this is out of order. But that's because I watched them out of order. Sorry about that. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

In case you missed the convo on Discord, (which you can join here! ), YES I COMPLETELY SKIPPED EPISODE SEVENTEEN. I will also be going back and editing the shownotes for Chapter Eighteen to avoid confusion. Thank you to Lauren for commissioning this episode! This is the episode where Jane copes with the breakup, and I'm personally feeling like it's better in the long run but I think I'm supposed t...

Thank you very much to Lauren for commissioning this episode! And before you ask, YES I ACCIDENTALLY SKIPPED EPISODE SEVENTEEN I WILL GO BACK AND DO IT I'M SO SORRY In this episode, we get the most infuriating episode so far in my opinion because it seems like absolutely everyone around Jane is acting like she's being so unreasonable about her expectations for her relationship with Rafael. Thank y...
