Introducing… “The Podcast Against Giygas!”
I’ve been making an audiobook adaptation of my favorite game, Earthbound.
It has a lighthearted, young adult tone with plenty of absurdist humor and neato sci-fi action. If you’re not familiar with the games, it goes a little something like this:
““When a meteor crash lands into a small town and brings along a world-conquering tyrant, it's up to an average 12-year-old boy and his three not-so-average new friends to save the world as we know it.
These four brave kids go up against Giygas, the destroyer of worlds, and the very worst of his worst, including time-traveling alien soldiers, deadly robots, whack-a-doo cults, scary zombies, and the most annoying kid on planet Earth.
Luckily for them, they have plenty to aid them on their quest, including strange psionic abilities, a never-ending supply of bottle rockets, the most molecularly dense baseball bat that money can buy, and of course, the strongest weapon of all, the power of friendship.”
The first season is complete, and it covers the second game in the series, Earthbound. Season two has a prologue episode up now and will release in August 2026, and that one deals with the first game, Mother. The artwork is also done by my friend PD_CGT, you can check out more of his stuff on his website.
You can listen to them here, anywhere else you get your podcasts (RSS link here), or on my YouTube channel if that’s your thing. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do please leave a comment or review, it means a lot to me!
