Thinking Through the Darkness

Thinking Through the Darkness A LoreBySpec Companion Podcast

Not every theory arrives fully formed.

Thinking Through the Darkness is the space between the idea and the script — where the lore gets poked at, the holes get found, and the thinking happens out loud. No polish. No finished arguments. Just Kingdom Hearts, a microphone, and wherever the thread leads.

New episodes drop on YouTube.

A LoreBySpec production.
