Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EWB 461 HALLOWEEN EPISODE 1 - ROMERO ZOMBIES W BRANDON LEGION
Q: So what are your thoughts on fast versus slow zombies?
Brandon prefers fast zombies because their ability to chase people makes them more frightening. Mike suggests that recently killed zombies could be faster than more decayed ones.
EWB 461 HALLOWEEN EPISODE 1 - ROMERO ZOMBIES W BRANDON LEGION
Q: So let me ask you, man, how do you land on zombie movies in general?
Brandon says he is not a major zombie fan because the genre has been overused, though he remains a fan of George Romero's films.
EWB 459 ALEX GARCIA RIVERRA
Q: So how did that come about for you getting into recording and building this space?
It started as a slow, late-life exploration around age 32, growing from a basement punk scene into a dedicated home studio as the opportunity to save money and control the environment presented itself. I gradually learned by doing, starting with cassette-based demos and then expanding into real tape machines, mixers, and eventually a fully custom analog console.
EWB 458 ANDREW ORLANDO HOPE COLLAPSE
Q: What makes Hope Collapse different from previous projects?
Andrew explains that the new LP blends familiar hardcore and metal influences with a more modern, room-like production feel, while maintaining the riff-centric writing and a focus on clarity in the mix rather than overwhelming blast sections.
EWB 450 ALLISON GUNN
Q: What was your drafting process like for Nowhere vs Hive Mind?
She describes experimenting with planners and pantsers, often letting characters drive the story, and in Hive Mind she embraced a more rage-fueled, character-led approach after multiple rewrites.
