<p>Original broadcast date March 18, 2021. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2021/03/binary-system-podcast-259-wtnv-184-the-fog/</p> <p>Raise a glass, or a can (of beer), or a cup (of hot cider), because the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA is officially one year old.</p> <p>To distract us from this grim milestone we have a new Night Vale episode (featuring Deb, the Sentient Patch of Haze) and TWO Lore Olympus episodes to recap. And they were all...surprisingly sweet! (Well, the second episode of Lore Olympus was sweet anyway. God, Apollo, go AWAY.)</p> <p>And if a big dose of us fangirlling over Lore Olympus isn't enough, we also talk about Lackadaisy Cats, which is another one of our favorite webcomics and the test animations for its upcoming short film look <em>amazing.</em></p> <p>This week's outro is Live Stream Theme by Fred Smith. He hasn't got his music up on YouTube yet, but he's the creator of the Cock and Bull pub game, which is very fun and you should check out the site! <a href="https://www.cocknbull.org/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.cocknbull.org//</a></p> <p>The hysterical Twitter war Kathryn mentioned was between publishers Melville House and Penguin Random House (well, between the people running their Twitter feeds). Buzzfeed did a write up about it <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/tomnamako/two-book-publishers-got-an-epic-twitter-spat">here.</a> https://www.buzzfeed.com/tomnamako/two-book-publishers-got-an-epic-twitter-spat</p> <p>The character from the <a href="http://lackadaisycats.com/">Lackadaisy Cats</a> http://lackadaisycats.com/ webcomic Elizabeth was talking about is Ivy Pepper, and the Welcome To Night Vale weather Elizabeth mentioned is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACklp8tksyQ">Closer</a> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACklp8tksyQ by The Tiny (and yes, this would work perfectly with Ivy as the singer.)</p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
