Hello, dear Venthuffer listener. I am retroactively declaring that the previous six episodes constitute season one of this audio zine. One consequence of launching a weekly publication in October is that no sooner does the show start to get its legs under itself, than the wintertime holiday vortex arrives to sweep those same legs away.

I am very pleased with our initial episodes. Even though I fell short of my entirely arbitrary goal of ten issues, I did meet the six-episode high-water mark set with my previous monologue project. And I find that I have a lot more to say about the Steam Deck and points adjacent. But the work deserves my full attention, and I can’t quite manage that while otherwise gearing up for the year ahead.

So, Venthuffer is going on a short break, to return… sometime in early 2025. Before the equinox in March, let’s say. If you subscribe to Venthuffer in the podcast app of your choice, then you’ll be the first to know when it returns. And you can always keep tabs at venthuffer.com, where, yes, there is a full RSS feed, if that’s how you swing.

Until then, happy holidays, enjoy the Steam sales, and make time to play attentively with the games and the people that you love. And you can find me, on Steam, as Halstrick.

If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing to Venthuffer for free. I'd also love to hear your feedback.
