Binary System Podcast #334: WTNV #216 “The Ball Is Where the Win Is” and Sandman

Original broadcast date October 20, 2022. The original podcast post is here:  Ten years ago we loved it every time Cecil on Welcome to Night Vale ranted about how much he hated his stupid brother-in-law STEVE CARLSBERG. If you’d told us back then that, come 2022, we’d be 100% on Steve’s side, we’d have told you that’s about as likely as Hollywood greenlighting a Sandman series. Funny thing… Listen in as we spoil everything about Welcome to Night Vale episode 216 (also known as “Steve Carlsberg Is The Best Coach Ever”) and then spoil everything about The Sandman “The Sound of Her Wings” (both the episode and the comic book) and Hob Gadling’s friendship with Morpheus, which will never stop being awesome. Of course there’s also random tangents into the latest Scholomance book, the Aliens series, horror movie picks, and how so many things we love got started over thirty freaking years ago: this is Binary System Podcast WE OLD. This week’s outro is a clip from Kaleidoscope Light by Policy. If you want more info on Tamsyn Muir’s Locked Tomb series, Kathryn’s reviewed both Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth.
