Tonight: Call Of Cthulhu Part II with Liv Kennedy and Dom Allen!

It's a classic one-shot-turned-two-shot, and in case you're worried that Dom won't be able to wrap it up by the end of the evening, don't forget that 💥 the ship is full of dynamite! 💥

Surprise! I have joined the fearsome and terrible hive at RRD, and will be the new Soc Media wretch!
Lots of love and mouth full of dice, Naomi xoxo

Graphic to introduce Naomi as the new social media manager. There's a smiling close up on a polaroid, an ink drawing of Heike by Sar Cousins and a photo of Naomi on a podcast stage at dragonmeet. A piece of paper has some notes on it. It says "hello" "I'm taking the social media going forward, made HEART an actual play podcast and played heike. Secretly plans to kill grant in a pit trap by 2035"

I also made a video about some very odd ants... the queens can produce offspring of two totally different species. WEIRD.

TIME CRYSTALS are a thing, and not just a sci-fi thing. Now, physicists have made these baffling states of matter into something you can actually see, as @lizziegibney.bsky.social explains here:

I finished my two-part series on errors and misconduct in science. It's a big intractable problem, but researchers, journalists, sleuths and organisations are working hard to tackle it.
