A jolly good end of 2023 to you, denizen!


Join me for our celebration of the show’s third birthday with a full director’s commentary-laden listen through of the show with Q&A and hijinks on MY birthday! 


Follow me on Twitch, save the date, and set the reminder at the following link for Saturday, the 27th of January 2024 at 1pm EST. Click: https://www.twitch.tv/hotcomic/schedule?seriesID=d423d4ed-bb57-49c9-8b50-32959a53f869


If you’re in need of solace, I get it. I’ve lost two friends this month and I’m still processing everything. You might appreciate my recent public Patreon post titled, “Jolly Holidays”. It addresses the push-pull of family gatherings and our attempts to martial merriment.


With that said, I hope you’ve been enjoying Season 2 – Codename COMPANION. “Debt” (Side A), the 19th episode blasted out to patrons on Saturday and everyone else on Sunday; and, like the rest of this season, I believe it represents some of my best work. May it brighten your day or ease you into a cozy night by the glow of a yuletide fire (or mobile device), whatever best warms your heart.



Have you shared Hell Gate City with a friend or likeminded group chat?


I recommend sharing this trippy YouTube video version of “Cypher” and that you subscribe to our youtube while you’re at it.


And, if you have enjoyed the show, and it’s within your means, subscribe to our Patreon and join the community for a whole bundle of goodies


Paying patrons get access to a growing library of ‘Glitch in the Matrix’ bonus tales, sacred tunes, deluxe scripts, and more… like my award-winning feature documentary, Shadow of a Bout. For everyone who subscribes till the end of the year – regardless of the tier – you get a copy.

All hell-hackers who joined in 2023 will get a private youtube link – you’ll just need to have a youtube account, which is automatic if you have a gmail.


Also, for the next few days only, you can just buy Shadow of a Bout outright for $9.95 a 66.7% discount, to make it as easy and accessible as possible for those who’ve wanted to see it and share it with friends.


And, I’m extending the offer till year’s end that if you join as a free member to our Patreon, I’ll shoot you a link to a free bonus tale (Just have an email address and join before 2024!). 

As mentioned, we currently have 12 patrons (🙏 you rock!) — a 140% increase since the launch of S2 — and if we can get to 25 paid subscribers by year’s end, I’ll create a rad alternate ending to our Halloween Special “Baba Yaga O’Riley”, inspired by that song by The Who folks call Teenage Wasteland.


Rate and review the show on Spotify and Apple! For the rest of 2023 if you shoot me a screenshot of your review or five-star rating, or even post it on socials and tag me,

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
