I didn't even know "Double Share" was out so thanks! I think even though Nathan is appreciated in the "community" he is one of those people that don't receive nearly enough attention...so Kudos to you for doing that RAD!

The dominant paradigm in this fractured world is "stay on your path,listen to your guides,when your shiny sand runs out your time is up" Does it have to be this way? is Alice really a Messianic figure that is there to save this world or perhaps to martyr herself for it. whats with the god like chess game going on? I think our winged buddy is more then he seems. As a side...please don't run off Penelope...theres some good descriptive storytelling to be had there(evil grin ;> ) I think Faeriedreamz has a good point about choice and consequence.The people of this world have come to believe they have no choices so can commit whatever atrocities they deem necessary because its “their path”.

I have been eagerly been awaiting episode 11!! I really like the female characters; they have a level of complexity that just rings true of reality. I also love the idea of dealing with choice. We were talking about that recently in a church group, and the whole Genesis chapter 3 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203&version=31)and we discussed the fact that everyone in the story is responsible for their actions. I think about Alice, and as much as I enjoy her character, some of her choices have not been wise. She is constantly held accountable for her actions; where as the other characters, such as Alex and Bob, were relying on Road Guides to be accountable to. I think that the paradigm is interesting, and I appreciate that even though Alice is the protagonist, she is not perfect, nor is she able to escape the consequences of her own choices. Thanks for another wonderful episode!! WOOOTTT!!! I have been eagerly been awaiting episode 11!!

I just found this podcast yesterday, and spent most of my night listening to it, instead of sleeping. I love the way the story runs... It reminds me a lot of Stephen King's Dark Tower trilogy, except I never read past the middle of book 4. I love the worlds that exist in this story too... I love that they are whole and that while they are different each world creates necessity in the religious setting... there is a completeness in the mythos that I just adore. Even though the world keeps shifting, and I can't quite figure out where I am as a reader, or where I am going, I still feel like each new world is solid ground. Anyway, I am totally taken with this series and will be waiting eagerly for a new release. Also, thank you to Theresa for reading, you do a great job. Jack, you write very very well. All and all, I am so thrilled. Holy freaking cow. I just found this podcast yesterday, and spent most of my night listening to it, instead of sleeping.

I've been thinking... so far we have down the road running at 12 v Theater. I'm really curious about what's coming next after this series has it's run. Just makes me think about like the Voices of Babylon podcast, how they mark themselves as Voices of Babylon, but their story is 3 Edged Sword. It's just kinda cool thinking that the feed will still have more shows down the line after this. Another great episode Jack.
