We are so stoked for our Mertober episode to hit your shellphones tomorrow morning.

@mamottshuu.bsky.social was kind enough to lend talents both in the art AND voice acting department -- you'll get to listen to two hand-picked spooky stories narrated by the one and only Eerie, siren of the deep!

I liked it! I think the tone was great, and the characters were entertaining. Definitely horror-comedy, 1 or 2 decent jumpscares and lots of laughs. Ending was surprisingly wholesome (and the animal lover in me was happy).

Was a blast bringing this illustration together 🧜🏼‍♀️

A family of merfolk - consisting of a mom, dad and young daughter - watch a film together in a cozy grotto, the daughter enthusiastically pointing at the scenes of the film while clutching a mermaid doll in her hand.

The Old SwitchAroo @theoldswitcharoo.bsky.social · Aug 13

In the newest episode of The Old SwitchAroo, Chico D Mar ( @mersaloon.bsky.social ), creator of the webcomic Wet Frontier, joins us for F-Zero (NES, 1990) and F-Zero 99 (Switch, 2023S, 1985) - and provides this episode's great cover art.

Find it anywhere that you get your podcasts! 🎮

An NES cartridge with a label that reads "The Old SwitchAroo" and "F-Zero & F-Zero 99" with an illustration of two F-Zero vehicles and three racers depicted above them. The additional text below the label reads "-or- Crashing Out!" and the text to the side reads "with Chico D Mar from Wet Frontier"
