  • Grayson and the World of Bruce McKinney
    Jun 11 2024

    Join your host Josh Burgess and the cast as we dive behind the scenes of the What's in the Rift? podcast.


    This week, we discuss the world of Bruce McKinney with his creator Grayson Stamm. Learn about a world in which the camera was never invented, and artistry and storytelling come at a steep premium without mass marketed media. Plus, we have to remind Grayson again that as great as Canada is, there's still a world outside of it to consider.


    Content warning: language; discussion of memory loss and difficult familial relationships

  • Cam Banks and the Cortex Prime System
    Nov 26 2023

    Join us as we discuss the Cortex Prime system with its creator Cam Banks. We'll cover philosophy of game design, the psychology involved in collaborative storytelling, the benefits and risks of "bleed" between player and character in RPGs, and first characters and what they mean for the world.


    If you've ever wanted to peek behind the curtains of system design with a major player in the industry, this is your opportunity.


    Cortex Prime is a product of Dire Wolf Digital, developed and produced by Cam Banks, and used by What's in The Rift.

  • Patty and the world of Jenny Thomas
    Nov 20 2023

    Join your host Josh Burgess and the cast as we dive behind the scenes of the What's in the Rift? podcast.


    This week, we discuss the world of Jenny Thomas with her creator Patty Hamilton. Learn about a world in which Disney never grew to be the major multinational corporation it is today, and instead that void was filled by a company fueled by Dr. Seuss's works. We also go real hard into Samsara and the cycle of life and death in this one. It's fun, I swear!


    Content warning: language; discussion of harm via fire and burning, discussion of disfigurement
