Goshawk | Ep. 30

What happened to Simon and Raimy? I know they received an artefact at the end of the original storyline and I assumed it was from the new gen believers, but he and Simon never showed up this season. Raimy also got a job offer from the Family, so does that mean he had to be sent back to the site as a sacrifice? Perhaps it’s a bit selfish but they were the characters I hoped would get a happy ending above the rest lol Also which of the Families is Iffy/Ирина from? I think we only met the Зима family (a little on the nose with the name but it’s funny) at the Cairo Summit, so there’s a second we don’t know.. And Dís may not have gotten her answers, but I’d still like to know how the victims are chosen for a cycle and why the three options for them are the Madness, the Change, and The Way of The Heart— more precisely why they have to be killed violently; was it just a fun narrative choice or does it have some purpose? Also is there any specific way the people who experience the Change are chosen? Jonas didn’t know about any of it (right?), Lucas wanted to become a Guardian but didn’t, and Eva became one despite her disdain. Was there any specific reason Jonas joined the new guard? What happened to Amelia’s son? Why don’t the Guardians and Artefacts talk to the families? I know it was mentioned that it’s hard for them to talk, but they don’t seem to have as much of a problem talking when they’re pretending to be a loved one (except that they’re a bit… hollow and only say things, they never respond to anything). Why do they only take the form of those who are gone (or why *did* they, one was Iffy in her presence)? If people are separated, they won’t know if someone’s gone or just not currently there. And finally, how did the families split/begin? How did they know about the eruption? Or was that the Guardians? When/why was the glyph language lost despite it being nearly the same across every site? I know the answers to most of these will probably be “we’ll never know”, but I thought they were worth asking regardless. Sorry for the bombardment of questions lol This is an absolutely incredible series and honestly the only podcast I can tolerate (really NOT a podcast person lol) and the sheer amount of work you (and the cast/crew) have put into this was well-worth it. I’m so excited to see where you go with the Don’t Mind series and anything else in the future!! :>

Just finished the White Vault/Goshawk, and all the miniseries etc, thank you so much, it's an incredible achievement, I think the best podcast I've listened to. I really enjoyed the change from the found footage format for Goshawk. Well done to all involved, an incredible listening journey.

I only found this show at the start of this year, which is ironic cuz it ended right then, but now I'm caught up 8 months later and wow it has been a wild ride! I really want to thank you for the wonderful and bone chilling story you've written and produced. There are pieces of media you consume and forget and then there are those that you remember and cherish for a lifetime, this is the latter. This year has been extremely tough and The White Vault has pulled me through it so once again, thank you

Just did a full-series relisten and whew - even better the second time around!

Well I finally listened to the last couple episodes. I tried to put it off as long as possible (sad that it was ending). 😆 I even restarted by listening at the beginning. Great story and loved the characters. GRAHAM will always be my favorite. 😉 The first podcast I ever started listening to was The White Vault and was immediately hooked.

I knew I heard of Daisuke Tsuji somewhere before but it took me until now I realized that’s Jin Sakai. Such an awesome realization. But this story was incredible. I’m glad I stumbled onto it on YouTube!

Been listening to the white vault since I started university. Now I’m in my final semester and listening to the final part :)

So in the first listen I thought it was Kidlat going thru the change... was it actually Dis's friend? And did Dis sacrifice herself bc she was also scratched and didn't want to become other.

I really would love to hear about the world and the families dealing with the consequences and new reality. 😭

This series has filled me with so much joy for so many years. I don’t know what I’m gonna do without it. You two are some of the most gifted storytellers of our generation, this is a masterpiece in my opinion I want to hear so much more I want to know more of the families more of the guardians the artifacts the origin of it all thank you guys so much for such an incredible story

Spoiler below Why do I feel the way to kill the thing behind the antechamber is Dragana and more explosives? Also, I wonder, do the traitorous guardians have anything to do with the family members who were sacrificed? It’s something I’d been thinking about ever since the guardian that used to be Jónas recruited Amelia

I really enjoyed this. I’m going to do a revisit too. Such a good show and you guys all did such a good job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

😭😭😭

(SPOILERS!!) Kidlat and Dragona survived, that’s all that matters!! 🙌🙌 Although having it end with the world being casually thrust into chaos is such a wild choice 😂 in a way Amelia got what she wanted in the end… to think it’s finally over… from the tiny bunker in Svalbard to now… wow! Idk what to do with my freetime now that White Vault is over 😭💔

Sad to see this end, it was the podcast that got me into podcasts in the first place. I know you guys said the universe is finished but I hope at some point you reconsider because this doesn't really feel like the end, especially with the last after credits scene laying out the future course of action for the biggest question of all. Plus I would always be down for more miniseries, they make for great suspenseful horror even when the we already know what the monster is and how it all ends.

Thank you! This is such a great story! Been listening for a couple years now. You all are so talented! I’m awestruck! I kind of want to cry now that it’s over! Tomorrow I’m starting a binge from the beginning because…why not?!

Is that really the end?

Oooh the echo of Dis saving someone as her daughter did is a nice touch.

One thing that I was left wondering - what was the motivation of the kidnappers? Was it tied to the site, or the girls were just unlucky enough to have been kidnapped?

That was such a wonderful ending!! I’ll miss this show; I’ve spent the past five years enjoying it. I’ll definitely be relistening a few times, now that it’s all done!

thank you for giving the world these stories; I loved listening to every episode!

Fantastic a happy ending but with many scars along the way.

Can the release party be enabled to rewatch later? I missed it

I once again have the "problem" of choosing between Old Gods and White Vault on the drive home!

... transformation? Oh man... Talk about the luck being gone...

*chanting* Kidlat! Kidlat! Kidlat!

This confused me even more. But I think I need to re-listen to Goshawk in its entirety to make it all make sense.

😱 my face this whole time omg omg omg

Happy ending for more than I expected. Not for the families as it seems they were deemed unnecessary in the end but for team Kasner, great ending!

Thank you for the wonderful ride!

That was all rather abrupt

😱
