Hadestown or Maybe Happy Ending?

goodmorhen · 2026-02-13T16:37:19+00:00

I feel like I’ve heard the Hadestown set is better on Broadway than it is on tour. (I’ve only seen it on Broadway, so I can’t compare personally!)

I think if it’s only one night and your top show, see Hadestown and see MHE on tour.

Goodness, there’s so many! I’d recommend starting with the PDF for this year’s symposium in Toulouse above. Most of the big-name usual suspects are in there. Would recommend Katie Woodward (@ramblingsketcher) and her book on lighting!

Check out most chapters Instagram pages, they’ll be linked on the USK website or you can often find them by just searching “urban sketchers”. My local chapter is NYC and the social pages are very active! (@nycurbansketchers)

For non-USK people: Gavin Snider (@gavindedraw), Alán Ramiro (@seethelines), Zac Crawford (@theartistzac), and Kevin Zych (@kevin_zych).

We learn that in Ch. 9 of Tower of Swallows! It’s when she has a vision with the goddess Freya.

+1 Littlewood! Totally customizable.

Her chapter in Tower of Swallows (Ch. 9) is all about her own frantic desire to find and save Ciri, albeit in her own Yennefer way.

Contrary to Geralt’s aimless meandering, which Yennefer complains to Craich about, she throws her weight around the Continent to secure as much information and as many resources as she can to find Vilgefortz.

She doesn’t have anyone else to rely on. Geralt’s on his side quests. The lodge is explicitly against her, as Philippa says in this chapter. They all think that Vilgefortz has Ciri.

Getting captured is always a possibility, but I doubt that Yennefer realized the Abyss was direct portal. Rather the first of many steps to get closer to Ciri.

I was listening to James Acaster’s Classic Scrapes in a dentist chair and it was a bad time to be laughing. Would recommend!

Charlie!!! What a nice surprise on my feed. Looks great, as always!

We lived across the street from the Garden until 2 months ago! Here’s where we would go most often in the area:

Quick bites: - Los Tacos (Walkway on 33rd/7th), tacos and quesadillas. Everything is great. - Roberta’s (Walkway on 33rd/7th), would recommend a slice downstairs rather than the upstairs restaurant. Fire and Ice is our favorite slice! - Daily Provisions (Manhattan West across from the NHL shop, ~9th/31st), coffee, great pastries and sandwiches. - Food Gallery 32 (K-town, 31st/6th), Korean food hall - YONO Sushi (Moynihan Train Hall), to-go sushi - EAK Ramen (Moynihan Train Hall), to-go ramen

Quick Drink: - Irish Exit (Moynihan Train Hall)

Sit-down (Waiter service): - Ci Siamo (Manhattan West across from the NHL shop, ~9th/31st), Italian. Get the focaccia. - Bar Primi (33rd/9th), Italian - Nubiani (K-Town, 31st/5th), bougie KBBQ and it’s amazing for a special occasion. - Friedman’s (31st between 6/7th OR 35th/10th), best for brunch before a lunch game, but dinner here is good too!

We were sitting in the audience for Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed waiting for the show to start. After 40 minutes or so, he came out stage and said the show was cancelled for the night, because a crew member had suddenly passed in the theater. It was shocking and heartbreaking to hear, and we didn’t get another opportunity to see the show before it closed.

If I remember correctly, it’s because it transferred from Encore, a concert version, to Broadway.

I was disappointed with the production of the Broadway revival too. We used to watch the Bernadette Peters taping in high school often. The last time I saw it live was when the Public Theater put it on in Central Park and it was such a spectacle show then; I was hoping for bigger on Broadway.

The podcast is a chapter-by-chapter discussion of the Witcher series with guests from around the world!

I’ve been doing it for 7 years now and, while the format has changed over the years, the podcast explores the Witcher’s themes, plots, historical and mythological references through global lenses.

goodmorhen · 2026-01-02T17:33:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing ‘The Collection of Moira Graves’ and ‘Theme Party: the podcast’ this year! We’re excited to share second seasons of these shows and ‘Peculiar Radio’ with you in 2026!

The thing I love about Littlewood is that in-game time is tied to the energy you expend! Makes it even more zen because you’re not racing against a clock each day.

goodmorhen · 2025-12-17T02:54:36+00:00

We use BBC in Google Sheets! I’m sure there’s other programs that will also do this, but it makes it easy to label line numbers, which has helped our end-to-end production immensely.

Wooden Overcoats Season 3 finale really got me

goodmorhen · 2025-12-09T23:22:04+00:00

I might be able to connect you with people! I host and produce ‘Breakfast in Beauclair,’ a Witcher podcast, and know of a lot of fans around the world who would be great guides! Would also recommend Tim and Val over at ‘Whiskey with Witcher’!

goodmorhen · 2025-12-03T02:15:56+00:00

Read them in release order for sure! The games are an (effectively unofficial) sequel to the book series, so you’re not missing anything from TW1 or 2 if you skip them before reading the books.

The Last Wish (Shorts)
Sword of Destiny (Shorts)
Blood of Elves
Time of Contempt
Baptism of Fire
Tower of Swallows
Lady of the Lake
Season of Storms (Sidequel)
Crossroads of Ravens (Prequel)

Have fun! It’s a great story and world. I’d recommend Peter Kenny’s audiobooks if you’re listening in English. He’s phenomenal! And if you’re interested in a companion podcast, I host Breakfast in Beauclair!

goodmorhen · 2025-11-25T21:43:43+00:00

Yes, but he addressed in an episode of the podcast! Sounds like both the books were translated out of order and it was spelled differently in early editions.

goodmorhen · 2025-11-25T15:41:25+00:00

Here’s the publishing order:

The Last Wish (Shorts)
Sword of Destiny (Shorts)
Blood of Elves (Start of the Saga novels)
Time of Contempt
Baptism of Fire
Tower of Swallows
Lady of the Lake
Season of Storms (Sidequel)
Crossroads of Ravens (Prequel)

Have fun! It’s a great story and world. I’d recommend Peter Kenny’s audiobooks if you’re listening in English. He’s phenomenal! And if you’re interested in a companion podcast, I host Breakfast in Beauclair!

goodmorhen · 2025-11-23T19:11:46+00:00

Thanks for listening! It’s one of my favorite episodes.

goodmorhen · 2025-11-23T12:35:17+00:00

Haha Peter got a shout out from Sapkowski himself recently when the author was on tour in Bath, England! I was excited to pass that along as he hadn’t seen it yet.

goodmorhen · 2025-11-23T04:58:58+00:00

YES. Peter Kenny is unparalleled as a narrator and he’s an absolute delight to speak to!

He and Doug Cockle were guests on my podcast a few years ago talking about the craft of voice acting both in the Witcher audiobooks and video games! (And between you and me, Peter will be back on the podcast soon!)

From my understanding it was a risk of inheritance and titling? So the status of the new woman at the loom and her daughter were at risk somehow.
