To celebrate Wildbow's return to his best universe, Elliot and Reuben have gotten back together to follow the new story, Pale, live!

    Claw and Order: The Point 1.1

    Claw and Order: The Point 1.1

    Wildbow has entered a new universe with a new story - but little did he know that Elliot and Reuben are still hot on his, and Mia's heels. Actually, I doubt Mia wears heels - too impractical. Anyway, we're doing it again. Hope you enjoy!

Beloved and Appreciated

These two are amazing, and the work they do is dearly appreciated. I've loved Wildbow works since I was 17, and now at 23 im finally getting around to Pale! I am both dyslexic and a voracious reader, so I've been listening to the Pale Audiobook and this podcast in tandem and it has been an amazing experience. Thank you so much for what you do

Great show!

Always discuss interesting things and I always feel like they point out something I missed or investigate a link that I haven’t!

Other podcasts Pale in comparison

Reuben and Elliot go in depth in their discussions and literary analysis of Pale, a modern supernatural web serial by J. C. “Wildbow” McCrae.
Wow. Pale is such a fun, compelling, and riveting story, packed with really cool symbology and metaphor. Reuben and Elliot do a great job at examining nuances in Wildbow’s story.
I can say with certainty that I’ve become a better reader and consumer of media since I began listening to Deep in Pact and Pale Reflections. I look at images and story arcs, and moral real-world implications. Honestly, though this may sound bizarre or chintzy, their reflections on Wildbow’s stories have helped me in my faith journey—in learning to see these patterns and motifs, the Bible itself has become more clear to me. I believe I’ve become a more empathetic person and have become more able to acknowledge my own privileges and biases. That’s part of what I love about Pale Reflections and all Wildbow works—this isn’t a sterile literature class, it’s clearly a labour of love, connecting Wildbow, the Doofcasters, and the readers and listeners. Sorry for getting sappy, but this podcast means a lot to me.
