The final episode of in.pencil is also the first episode of The Adam Hinds Show.

Adam is joined by Jess for a conversation about the end of one project, the start of another, and the long creative thread connecting the two. Together, they look back at what in.pencil has meant: not just as a podcast, but as one of many collaborative projects between Adam and Jess over the years.

From music and media experiments to half-formed ideas that somehow became real things, this episode reflects on the value of creating with people who know your history, challenge your thinking, and keep showing up.

It is a farewell to in.pencil podcast, but not to the work, the friendship, or the conversations. Those continue here, under a new name.

Welcome to The Adam Hinds Show.

Adam is back from Vegas and things got weird in the best possible way. In this season opener, he breaks down his recent trip to Sin City, including a walk through Zak Bagans Haunted Museum that was a lot more than just creepy props and jump scares.

We talk haunted objects, bad vibes, what feels legit, and what feels like pure showmanship. Along the way Adam shares what this trip stirred up about belief, fear, and why people chase the paranormal in the first place.

You also get updates on life, in.pencil, music, video games, and what is coming this season for the show. More strange stories. More honest conversations. More trying to make sense of a very weird world.

Hit play, pack your skepticism, and come wander the haunted halls with us.

In this episode, we reflect on the 20th anniversary of The Boy vs. The Cynic by John Reuben—a landmark album that captured the tension between youthful faith and growing disillusionment in a way few Christian records dared to. We explore how the album's raw honesty and genre-defying style challenged the sanitized expectations of Christian music, and how its themes remain painfully relevant in a scene still struggling with performative faith, commercialism, and political entanglements. From industry gatekeeping to the quiet exodus of artists who couldn't conform, we unpack the broader dysfunction of Christian music and the cost of telling the truth in a culture built on image.
