Though the trailer (see the video above) and prologue were already available, the first episode was released today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course it&#8217;s also more than a podcast, and without giving too much away there&#8217;s also a puzzle of sorts for you to solve to compliment the first episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is it some sort of sequel to The Latitude? Some signs point to this including the vocabulary (Signal, Kith, Mantis, etc.) and the website has a similarly all-gray color palette. Oh and if you poke around enough you&#8217;ll find that a certain &#8220;villain&#8221; of the Latitude has also returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The relationship to The Latitude raises some questions, but after seeing <em>In Bright Axiom<\/em>, the aforementioned documentary about The Latitude, I think it&#8217;s safe to say there won&#8217;t be any secret society elements. As to whether any real life adventures are in store we&#8217;ll just have to wait and see. But obviously with the pandemic it would be a poor time to send people down slides and crawling through tiny rooms. It&#8217;s also unclear if this will be limited to the Bay Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This season of the podcast is named &#8220;A General Mystification Vol. 1&#8221; so they clearly intend to make more than one season of SYGNYL.  Not that we even know how many episodes are in a season just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check out SYGNYL for yourself you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/kite.link\/sygnyl\">links to the podcast here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sygnyl.com\/\">the official website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Today is Groundhog&#8217;s Day, and aside from using a groundhog-based weather prediction to determine if we&#8217;ll get more winter or spring (spoiler: it&#8217;s more [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","slim_seo":{"title":"What is SYGNYL? - MrEricSir.com","description":"&nbsp; Today is Groundhog's Day, and aside from using a groundhog-based weather prediction to determine if we'll get more winter or spring (spoiler: it's more w"},"autoblue_enabled":true,"autoblue_custom_message":"","autoblue_shares":[],"autoblue_post_url":"","autoblue_publish_document":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[1300,412,1466,1465,1124,1123],"class_list":["post-9260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local","tag-immersive","tag-nonchalance","tag-podcasts","tag-sygnyl","tag-the-jejune-institute","tag-the-latitude"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9260"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9263,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9260\/revisions\/9263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
