In an age of endless Marvel movies, we take for granted how hard it is to tell a story that spans multiple generations and weaves disparate pieces into one grand narrative. Many have tried, many have floundered.

Anyone with such sprawling storytelling ambitions, however, could take a lesson from the horror anthology podcast Old Gods of Appalachia from Asheville, North Carolina’s DeepNerd Media. Launched in 2019, Old Gods is an engrossing and otherworldly saga, set in an alternate version of Appalachia, where the land is riddled with supernatural entities — so-called “haints” and whatnot — and the humans who often find themselves tangled up with them. After a friend recommended it, I powered through all available episodes in two weeks.

As of this writing, there are three seasons comprising more than 40 free episodes (with even more for Patreon subscribers). What starts out as the tale of a doomed coal town named Barlo, Kentucky, expands into a whole universe with narrative tentacles that reach back to 1756 and forward well into the 1900s. The podcast’s penchant for nonlinear storytelling zips you back and forth in time and gives you the sense there’s an infinite number of people, and creatures, to meet in every holler the show visits.

Maybe you spend three episodes with a small-town magistrate, or a young couple that make a bad deal, or a little boy whose family meets a grim fate. You might leave these characters behind for a bit, but in the Old

After weeks of teases and previews, Volvo drew back the curtains on the 2024 EX90 in a virtual event this morning. The newest and largest member of Volvo’s growing family of electric SUVs is scheduled to hit the road in fall 2023, bringing with it not just the next evolution of Scandinavian vehicle design, but also the next generations of the automaker’s driver aids and infotainment tech.

At first glance, the EX90 looks a lot like what it is: a next-generation, all-electric version of the automaker’s current XC90 seven-passenger SUV that will live alongside its combustion-powered sibling before ultimately replacing it when the Volvo completes its planned transition to a fully electric lineup in 2030.

Familiar design elements like the sculpted hood, Thor’s Hammer LED light signature and vertical taillights that end in a C-shaped flourish can still be found in the EX90’s design, but new details bring the electric SUV’s design into the future. For example, the T-shaped Thor’s Hammer is now made up of chunky segments that light up in sequence with the LED fog lights when the SUV is started. Activating the headlamps causes the DRL’s horizontal segments to open like eyelids, rotating out of the way to reveal the LED headlamps and high-beam projectors.

Peer closely at the top of the windshield and you’ll spy the subtle hump of Volvo’s first lidar sensor on a production vehicle. Lidar,
