The Podcast Was on Fire and It Wasn't My Fault --A Dresden Files Podcast

Wherein Harry may have dodged a concusssion, but look out for tinnitus! (Discord: https://discord.gg/JKB8fcnC) (Next Week: Skin Game 41-45) This week brings a couple of loud dust-ups, an eagle-handed poker player, a naked pyromancer, a sad salamander, a father murdering his daughter, PARKOUR!, and plenty of other hijinks! We chat Sasquatch fiscal policy, compare timestoppers, try to figure out wha...

Wherein Harry goes plus one, minus one on allies. (Next week ch. 36-40) (https://discord.gg/Ru4sqvTy) Murphy's night goes from bad to worse, Butters acts like he gets to be on the team again, and Michael gets that jumbo jet he needed to read his bedtime stories! With Mr. Sunshine's Grace imperiled, the stakes just got even higher. Harry needs to assist the evilest evil in evilton--at least officia...

Wherein a rocket launcher probably would have been better. (Next Week Skin Game 30-35) (https://discord.gg/zVPG3Cb9) We manage to save jerkface Butters but at the cost of one sword. Check that, our receipt shows one Sword. We get a fun chase scene and get to see a bunch of cool Bob Butters Batman tricks that almost make the chase worth it. Murph lays down a great thesis about friendship and faith...

Wherein Harry meets the Genoskwa....then a wall, in quick succession! (NEXT WEEK 24-29) (Discord: https://discord.gg/GbT5JAm4) Out of the ghoul fight and into the soul fight as Harry checks in with A Good Man. We finish up our battle with the warrior ghouols, get arrogant with an old friend, share Burger King with a new friend, try to recrut allies, and then get smashed through a warehouse! This w...

Wherein Harry gets Incepted. (Nest week Skin Game ch 18-23) (Disc: https://discord.gg/GbT5JAm4) Hello friends! Today we start our chunk with a fussy Butters, and despite my anger with his lack of trust, I talk myself into if not agreeing, then at least understanding him. Harry has a weird dream within a dream, we meet the very interesting Goodman Grey, and go for a morning of Harveying. Tessa show...

Wherein Harry's thiccc calf tanks a gunshot. (next week Skin Game 12-17) We meet most of the heist crew at a stank sauna--or "an old slaughterhouse," as the kids are calling it--and add old friend Anna Valmont via Octokong evasion. Hannah Ascher shows off some sexy.....fire magic, and Harry talks crap to some Fomor servitors. We spend far too much time on Racoon Law, talk graveyard interests, and...

Wherein Harry teams up with the bad guys. Well more than usual! (Next week: Skin Game 6-11) Mab puts Harry in a pickle fit for Opening Day, and forces him to team up with lil Nicky and his shadowy allies (get it!?). But soon we realize that if all goes to plan, the Nickelheads wont be the only ones double crossing this time around!  Demonreach gets a new name, Jordan gets a costly promotion,...

Wherein Harry defeats Thomas.....sorta. (next week Skin Game 1-5) We're movin our hips like yeah as we tackle Toe-moss and Morgan povs this weak in a fun sojourn from regular business. Thomas is wildly underappreciated by anyone not hosting a podcast, and the King Douche of Wardendom is somehow more human and less likeable! Dont resign the pod to Oblivion, come on in! Your very hungover Backup and...

Wherein Harry was born this way. War! Demonreach is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Black Council. There are Sidhe on both sides. Evil is everywhere. (next week Backup, Journal) Its time for the big conclusion, and Maeve makes sure its all about her! She has a Lady Gaga monster on her side so obviously she wins round one, but Harry makes a big call to even the odds! Alyssa is more focused...

Wherein harry fights Fix like one of his French girls wearing this...wearing ONLY this. Its Full of Sound and Fury and Signifies SOMETHING, we hope!  (next: Cold Days 50-53 coming in hot!) We've finally wrestled sound away from the evil Cloud, though somehow its ai-clean-up-less but daggummit WE HAVE A POD! This week we are back at the Battle of Demonreach, where Harry drops a hall of fame ti...

Wherein Harry takes Santa Claus down a notch! (best week 45-49) Last week Murph came out of nowhere to save the day, but now we have to finish the job! Even though it's not a very good one, as ever Harry has a plan. How hard could it be to outrun the Wild Hunt long enough to take out its two supernatural badass leaders? A well placed rifle shot, a hog to horse suicide jump, and some precisely appl...

Wherein Harrys Lyft shows up just in time. (next week: Cold Days ch 41-44) Harry knows its a trap, springs the trap, then gets mad that he got trapped. A wharehouse falls to the bottom of Lake Michigan with seven passengers, and the return trip scaress six of them for a different reason.  Josh forgets a Thomas narrated short story, Alyssa goes on a road trip, the red cap goes barbed-wire danc...

Wherein Harry is pretty hard-core down there. (next week 36-40) (note: Apologies for both the tardiness and the sick/congested noises, though as you can guess they are related. I tried to get as much of my gross noises out as possible!) We reunite with a very fussy Mother Winter and a quite chatty Mother Summer. The latter of whom takes our plucky hero on a stroll to the edge of the universe. We f...

Wherein Harry gets himself a dental plan. (Next week Ch. 31-35) Murphy fights off Ace, Best Boy Sith takes care off the campy Sidhe, Butters takes care of the wounded, Toot takes care of Captain Hook, and Titania takes care of Harrys circle. Thomas continues to steal the novel but Toot gives him a run for his money this week. Between his disdain for humans and their foibles, his trademark accident...

Wherein Harry learns a very little bit about Mac. (Next week 26-30) Thomas tells Harry he needs to check himself before he wrecks Molly. An outsider does wreck Mac's, Lily and Maeve have news, and Ace comes for revenge....or something. The concussion counter for the chunk is at two before a metal bat beating, but the wizard does manage to dish out some punishment to Outsider Sharkface with a sexy...

Wherein our wizard/warden/knight leaarns the stakes. (Next week ch 22- 25 ) We get talked at a bunch this weeek, and even though its expo city and we have almost no vfx budget, the humor carried the day for mnother excellent chunk. Bob makes like a projector, Molly hexes like Harry, Thomas jokes like, well like thomas but it is great, Oderrung channels Lucy and holds the textbook and the football...

Wherein there be monsters, and Harry aint the only one! (Trigger Warning: We have a discussion on self-harm, so if this is a subject you would rather avoid for your own well-being, please skip to 11:45!) This week starts of with a bang! Or a kaboom, I guess. Then, Its a Fairy Off! Toot and the Guard tackle Captain Hook-so hot right now!-in a manic pixie dream brawl. Lyss heroically toughs it out t...

Wherein harry learns a life saving and ending secret! There is a ton of expo and lore dumped on us, but in classic Butcherian fashion it is absolutely seamless!  First, Sarissa and Harry warily trade answers to personal questions in Arctis Tor, while back in Chicago, Bob snarks his was through maybe the most game-changing revelation we've gotten so far! Toot toot and the Guard steal multiple...

(Regular length Cold Days 3: ch 8-11 next week!) Look, this is so very skippable, but I wanted to get something out.... There is actually some good analysis in there, start around the three and a half hour mark for the yikeseyest comparison of piercing descriptions around!! Besides that, Ive only cut a couple really personal convos out so this is the closest you get to raw Lyssy and Joshie, which...

Wherein Harry begins to communicate with the Winter Sidhe. (THIS IS JUST BREAKDOWN; ANALYSIS TO COME) Harry gets a jolly old surprise meeting with someone from his childhood, we learn the Erlking's name, and we get more evidence that Eldest Gruff is a gentleman and a badass--tho probably not Lafortier's murderer, turns out. A snotty Maeve and a her snottier minions try to cause trouble, Sarissa is...

Wherein Harry gets an attempted murder montage. We start with Bombshells, where Molly takes on the Fomor and the Patriarchy alike! Its an enjoyable, if often heart wrenching, peak into the Grasshoppers Noggin and she really shows her unique strengths! After that we dip our toes into novel 14, Cold Days! (Chapters 1-2 today, 3-7 next week!) where Harry convalesces at Arctis Tor under the caring and...

Wherein Harry meets the blurry guy! Harry butts heads with Svartalf bullies, teaches a pacifist when to throw down, and now has to figure out how to explain a big gold ball to the guy cashing him out! We also learn of further people caught up in the emotional damage hurricane that is Harrys death.... And then we cry. Next week Bombshells and Cold Days ch 1-2, enjoy the shorties! Cheers and ch...

Wherein Uriel says that there's a Fallen to blame, but Harry knows...its his own damn fault. We see the straw that absolutely decimated whatever was left of Molly's mental health camel, and see a much more interesting big action set piece that takes place inside the Grasshopper's squiggly grey stuff! Butters picks up some nightmare fuel and one for the snapshot, so its probably a wash; Murphy may...

Wherein Harry makes like Tom Hanks. The lecter spectres go wacko on wolfwaffen, Harry and grey ghost-taker play whack-a-mole, Murphy plays fire-in-the-hole, and Josh breaks all the rules. Not me! The other Josh! This Josh spends about an hour talking about his true joy in life: naps. Its all action no heart, but its still Dresden, and still solid, if not quite reaching the usual spectacular highs....

Wherein Harry can only watch the B-plot mini-boss fight! Luckily he has Forthill to rush in unprepared because someone he just met is in danger and the right thing to do, Daniel to soak up the punishment because Butcher is a monster who thrives on our suffering, Butters to swing the big hammer, and Fitz to learn the lesson, grow as a person, and make he dark world a little bit brighter for everyon...
