Ghost Stories, a Destiny Podcast

Episode 60: When Some Flab Hits Your Face Like a Big Rock From Space, That's Imoli Welcome, Guardians! This is officially our first Destiny Lore episode since, um, a long time ago! Today we kick off our examination of Emperor Calus and the history of the Cabal. Part 1 explores Calus's ascent to Emperor, his People's Revolution against the Praetorate, and his eventual downfall in the Midnight Coup. Along the way you can expect plenty of shenanigans and poorly pronounced Latin. Mentioned in...

Episode 59: Holy Crap It's Real Welcome, Guardians! It has been forever, but we are finally ready. Ghost Stories is back and ready to dive into the lore of Destiny once again. Its been a long, strange year, but we are excited to be back in the game and on the air. This is a lore free episode, but we wanted to talk through our return, the reasons why, and set expectations in its own standalone episode so it wouldn't bog down next week's release, which will be a full-on deep dive into Emperor...

Episode 58: YOU DIED ADULT LANGUAGE HIDE YOUR KIDS WARNING This is Episode 58 and on this show we’re saying it's Episode 59. What does it mean?! This wasn't the Vault episode I was expecting! In any case, we're finally back behind the mics to take a stab at making a show without the kind of rigid structure you're probably accustomed to from us. We'll talk about why during the show, along with a whole load of other things including where we've been, what else we've been doing, and desperately...

Episode 57: Saltcast Redux This is Episode 57 and on this show we’re… having a “do over”. We recorded an episode last week (a fortnight ago), a casual three and half hour conversation about the state of Destiny 2. While extremely cathartic, we decided that horse has been pretty much beat to death, and then rezzed by it’s Ghost, and then beat to death again. We’re all well aware of the issues D2 is having and while we’re going to mention them on this show too, the entire show won’t be about...

Big thanks to SherbetPop for taking the lead and pulling our noses out of the proverbial books to get back behind the mics. Join us as we talk about our early experiences and observations playing Destiny 2. There is a ton of lore and discussions to be had...so don't worry, we will get there. "The lore is lovely, dark and deep, but we have promises to keep, and miles to go before we speak."

Episode 55B: Mo Beta Blues Clues - Part 2...(you're half way there) Welcome back, Guardians! Two shows in two weeks? What is this, 2015? This is the second part of our look at the Destiny 2 Beta and, per usual, what we thought would be a quick show turned into a 3.5 hour epic. We’re taking a look at armor and weapons, talking about some of the call back, references, and story hints contained within. Join us as dropslash complains about flavor text… A LOT, SherbetPop recites classic...

Episode 55A: Mo Beta Blues Clues - Part 2(this is a long one) Welcome back, Guardians! Two shows in two weeks? What is this, 2015? This is the second part of our look at the Destiny 2 Beta and, per usual, what we thought would be a quick show turned into a 3.5 hour epic.

Episode 54: Swing Beta Beta - Part 1 Welcome back, Guardians! It’s only been forty five thousand years since the last show, so we decided to make another one! This episode is Part 1 of our look at the Destiny 2 Beta and we’re talking about mostly about lore and story hooks we noticed during our time playing it. We also chat about the Farm and all the potential secrets hidden there. The next episode will be dedicated to the armor and weapons of the beta, which hold some pretty interesting...

Can a lore show have its own lore? Find out as XRAY and Gabble recount their experiences at GuardianCon 2017. Along the way we'll meet listeners, streamers, friends, and, uh, not friends. We hope these stories are just as fun to listen to as they were to experience. Except one. One of them was really awful to experience. If you are anticipating our return to the depths of the Vault of Glass as much as we are, fear not, dear listeners. We will resume that dive in one week's time!

Episode 52: The DGS Variety Hour 3 Hours Welcome back, Guardians! Due to swamp gas from a weather balloon trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected off the light from Venus, we were short exactly one GabbleRatchet and one Cosmololgy this week. So this episode will be a light-lore show with Xray, drop, and Sherb doing some podcast housecleaning. We’re talking about general Destiny news, Guardiancon, what’s going on around the podcast, answering user questions, and a ton of other random stuff....

Episode 51: Nothing Left But The Drop Welcome back, Guardians! This is a special episode of Ghost Stories! We're going to be exclusively talking about the Destiny 2 Reveal Event this past week. Our own dropslash was there for the reveal and got a ton of hands on time with the game. Nothing facny about this show, it's just all about Destiny 2!

Episode 50: It's Not Lupus Part 3! Welcome back, Guardians! On this episode... uh, well, drop and Cosmo go off the deep end exploring organic nature of the Vex and their architecture as well as the connections between Alpha Lupi and the Vault of Glass. This episode is really designed to be some "food for thought" as we start in on the Guardians experience with the Vault, focusing on the Templar and the Oracles. This is a dense episode, so be on the lookout for some follow up from the team as...

Episode 49: It Means "Tomb". Welcome Guardians! This is Part 2 of our look into the Vault of Glass and this show is going to focus heavily on the the story of Kabr, Praedyth, and Pahanin; the most famous Guardians to enter the Vault.

Cosmololgy is back with us for the ride, so expect some delicious...

Episode 48: CosmoVaultlolgy Welcome Guardians! After a bit of a hiatus, we're back! At the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 we started down a road to lay the groundwork for future episodes. This is the last one of those episodes as we set the stage for an our epic, in-depth, series exploring the Vault of Glass. This episode is going to introduce some of the Vault's mysteries as well as get some necessary groundwork about the Vex out of the way. This is the last lore-light episode before...

On this episode of Ghost Stories we're thrilled to welcome two Destiny Community Artists, JeredB and Matt Oishi!

Episode 46: The Fruit of the Garden - Part 2 Welcome Guardians! We're back for the conclusion of our look into the "Fruit of the Garden" Missions, which serve as a jumping off point for a bunch of future episodes on some pretty big topics. As discussed previously, these missions introduce us to the Vex, the Cabal, Venus, Mars, Clovis Bray, the Black Garden, and a whole lot more. On this show we're picking up right where we left off and following the Guardian to Mars for the first time and...

Merry Vexmas: A Visit From St. Everis Merry Vexmas and Happy Dawning everyone! Twas the night before Vexmas, when all through the ship, Not a radar was blinking, not even a blip; The vault space was cleared in the Tower with care, In hopes that St. Everis soon would be there; The Risen were nestled, all snug in their beds, While Visions of Confluence flowed through their heads; And I in my Battlecage, Greaves, Grips, and Wrath, Had resigned my brain to a warm, briny bath; When out in the...

Episode 45: The Fruit of the Garden Welcome Guardians! We're back to our reguleraly scheduled programming!

So join us as we pick up a thread we left dangling in our Dark Below / Crota's End episodes and diverge into the other main story...

Episode 44: These aren't ideas, they're nonsense. Welcome back, Guardians. Ok, first things first... THIS IS NOT A LORE EPISODE. It's been a month since our last show and as we get back into the swing of things, we felt it was worth spending some time back on the mic together and talk about where we've been, what we've been up to, and the future of Ghost Stories. This is a long, rambly episode, so don't exepct a lot of hardcore Destiny talk. If you want a quick TL:DL, you'll find a link...

Episode 43: Crota's End - Part 2 It's that time again. Your favorite Elder Scrolls podcast is back! This is Episode V and today we're headed to Skyrim! No... wait... that can't be right... can it?
