We made it! Here you are! The first episode of The Odd Castle!
Our guest today is my friend and mentor, the multi-talented Todd Stashwick. Probably best known right now as Captain Liam Shaw from Season Three of Star Trek: Picard, Todd has been plying his trade as an actor for over 30 years and as a fan of all things geeky and nerdy for even longer, as you’ll see in the episode.
I was was especially thrilled to talk to him right now as he has a Kickstarter campaign underway. This podcast will always strive to highlight the work of independent artists and creators who look to not only further their own careers but who enable communities to engage with the arts at a level beyond passive consumption. If you’re looking for a vision of ttrpgs that tap into the 70s and 80s vibes of the field’s early years, Todd’s ProgCore Fantasy: Dark Age of Theer is worth checking out.
In today’s inaugual episode we touch on the Kickstarter, Todd’s lifelong enagement with sci-fi and fantasy subcultures, improv comedy and Second City, and more.
And as part of our ongoing creation of an Odd Castle reading list, Todd recomends Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, which most of you probably know but if you don’t, now you do!
