445 - Blister City with Malcolm Critcher

445 - Blister City with Malcolm Critcher

Author: Jeff Stormer March 14, 2025 Duration: 1:28:18

Malcolm is the Creative Director at BRINK Media, and co-creator of This Is Propaganda, a narrative nonfiction podcast that breaks down the hidden influence of propaganda in our modern lives, and how propaganda (or as it would come to be known, Public Relations) have shaped our entire culture today. We sat down to play Blister City, a game about the bloody realities of Martian revolution, and about taking back the world from the fascists who control it.

The folks who ruined Mars have names and addresses. You have a crowbar, and a dream. Make them pay.

Ever find yourself wanting the collaborative storytelling of a tabletop roleplaying game but without the hassle of scheduling a whole group? That’s the exact niche Party of One Podcast fills, and it does so with a wonderfully specific charm. Host Jeff Stormer specializes in the often-overlooked magic of two-player RPGs, creating an intimate and consistently surprising audio experience. Each episode is a fresh, self-contained adventure where Jeff and a single guest-drawn from a wide circle of friends and creators-dive into a new game designed for duet play. The result is less a formal playthrough and more like eavesdropping on a fascinating, improvised conversation between two quick-witted people who are building a story together in real time. You’ll hear the genuine reactions, the strategic pauses, the inevitable rules fumbles, and the triumphant moments that arise from this direct, personal dynamic. While the core is roleplaying, the discussions naturally weave through the pop culture touchstones that inspire these games, touching on film, television, music, and broader leisure topics, all filtered through a comedic lens. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, prioritizing a good time over perfection, which means episodes are packed with laughter and the occasional surprisingly heartfelt turn. It’s a podcast that demonstrates how much narrative depth and sheer fun can be generated with just two people, some dice, and a shared willingness to say “yes, and…” to whatever bizarre scenario the game throws at them.
