Liv and I are back in one of No Cartridge's most ambitious series, as we cover Campo Santo's classic Firewatch and put it in conversation with the absolutely gorgeous and moving A Constant Hum, the debut novel/collection by Australian author Alice Bishop! Learn about the history of Australian bush fire, find out if the book is more somber than the game or vice versa, and enter a wonderful discussion that -- I think -- elevates both pieces. Thanks again to Julian for the production work!!!
