    Jan 31 2022

    The warrior of light has walked a path of triumphs and tragedies. They’ve encountered Ultimate weapons, corrupt kings, enraged dragons, a psychotic swordsman, ancient wizards, despotic rulers, and an all encompassing destructive light have fallen before them. Time and again, no matter the warriors might, friends have been lost, allies fallen, sacrifices made, and devastation wrought. Still the warrior perseveres, and to the end of the story they walk. Today we talk about Endwalker.

    Endwalker is the most recent Final Fantasy XIV expansion and the end of the Hydaelyn – Zodiark story. It’s a massive journey encompassing five expansions which is easily over 200 hours worth of game play. That’s just for just the main story quest line. In this SPOILER HEAVY EPISODE we cover the first half of Elpis this week.

    Why We Like this is a podcast about the celebration of things we like. Chris and his cast of rotating co-hosts sit and chat about things they like from an anecdotal and analytical point of view. A little personal storytelling to go along with trying to understand what the thing we’re talking about is doing that makes us like it. Once you’ve listened we hope you’ll join the conversation on Twitter and Discord

  • Why We Like Kind of Blue
    Dec 16 2021

    Sometimes music is created that changes the way everyone thinks about the art form. Not just the people inside the industry, the musician, the producers, and the record companies but everyone. In the 50’s this happened with an album called Kind of Blue.

    On this episode I’m joined by Lance, a PHD candidate, musician, and one of my oldest and best friends for a sometimes wandering, sometimes technical, but always interesting discussion of Kind of Blue, arguably the best jazz album of all time.
