The GAP Podcast, or Generic Acronym Podcast Podcast, is a podcast featuring Luke Lawrie and Joab Gilroy (plus whoever they can con onto the show) where they talk about the games they’ve been playing. This thing is 600+ episodes long and it’s all one giant long arc. With every ep being between 60 to 250 minutes long there’s no way you’d ever catch up. There’s no real point in trying.

On this special bonus episode of The GAP, Joab Gilroy enlists the help of Nathan Lawrence and Liam Gilroy to discuss the intricacies of writing Blackbirded, a 10 part novella written by Joab and edited by Nathan and Liam.
In typical rambling GAP style the three talk generally about the topic at hand and also about whatever else comes to mind at the time. And if you want to read Blackbirded before you listen to this (which would be wise) you can do so via this link! If you’d instead like to read the accompanying Post-mortem piece on my personal site, you can do that via this link!
