    Welcome to the FH7 Publishing review podcast. I am the main host Andrea Menzies and I am back from a break. My mom Anne Brockett was sick this month, and needed many rides to the hospital for surgery. In addition, I helped to feed her dogs and get her mail while she was sick. I am now back from the break, and I am taking classes and doing podcasts again.

         Welcome to the Frozen History Seven Publishing book review podcast. I am your host Andrea Menzies here to talk about the FH7 book club’s latest book reviewed. This is the Season 1 Episode 7 of the new season that has restarted distribution on Spotify. The advertisements are on Spotify, but the main show as always is on Patreon at the URL https://www.patreon.com/c/FH7Productions7 and the name on Patreon FH7books.com to look up our information.

  • Back to Better

  • Myspace Comeback

    By A. Menzies 08/09/26

    I really hope the real Myspace makes a comeback. ABC news said they were back in a story. In fact I never quit using Livejournal. Algorithm free online posting was a far better way to read people’s posts online. There is a Boondocks show episode where a musician wants to have fans over for a party, and a kid posts it to Myspace. A huge party packed with people afterwards results. People forget online posting was fun once. #myspacereturn

    In theory algorithms were going to show you the top posts of your friends and family. They would weed out the spamming they claimed. Instead they doubled the spam posts, and hid the friends posts. Net trolls and hate mongers thrive in algorithms. Nothing has stepped up to fill the void of old Facebook as new FB is non-stop spam daily and Instagram is only a Facebook clone.

    I remember that Myspace had issues as well. People would fight about friends in the top 8 list. Users would make a Myspace they never updated, and dead people still had profiles up. People married with 4 kids had a Myspace up that said single from high school. If Myspace makes a comeback it needs to delete inactive profiles this time around. #inactivedelete

  • Black and Purple

    By Andrea M. 08/02/2026

    New Black and Purple House – how to make the beach spooky at Heartopia. Anyone can make a Halloween game dark and artsy, but it is a challenge to make the cutie games moody and dark! I am not the one person doing this task. I have seen 8 scary cathedral houses today, and they have the best prizes at the prize doors. I am glad I found a game as hypnotic as Heartopia right as my family is having issues so I can keep from dwelling on the stressful and negative.

    P.S. My screen name is Poedaughter7 at user ID 2rky87n9 for chat.

  • Episode 6 Season 1 – The Unofficial Pokemon Go Field Guide vs Palworld

    By Andrea Menzies 07/21/26

    The Unofficial Pokemon Go Field Guide by Ivy St. Ive

    Note: FH7 Publishing does not just do book reviews, but reviews of games based on books. Pokemon is a game that has books and comic books associated with the product.

    This month every person who plays video games has one soap opera question on their mind, and it is what the heck happened with Palworld and Pokemon’s Nintendo? Nintendo has beautiful art and games it has made, and it sued another company for making a game called Palworld like their games. Can they do this? There is a phrase that fits the issue at hand, and that is the legal phrase “fair use” in art. The famous author Immanuel Kant once famously said. “The dilemma of postmodernism is that all art is collage.” This means all art has a bit of other art in it, and we are all standing tall on the shoulders of giants. How much can one work of art look like another before it is just basic copying? Fair use is defined as the following idea. “Reasonable and limited use of copyrighted material so as not to infringe upon copyright.” (Dictionary.com, 2026). I find this interesting because when I first posted a few of my favorite pictures and drawings online in blogs, internet trolls said “that is not yours” if it looked anything like another drawing. If you make it with different paint and changes to it YES, it is your own work even if it is styled like another drawing. Art has stylized techniques used frequently, and very untalented people like to put artists down saying their art is basic copies. This month Palworld won the lawsuit against Nintendo, and video game fans rejoice at being free to play the version they like best.

    Season 1 Episode 5 – Campaign Against Facebook

    A podcast book review on The Campaign Against Facebook a book about the many huge lawsuits against the Internet giant. Here are just some of the Facebook lawsuits addressed inside.

    1. Facebook is giving con-artists the information to popular pages.
    2. Taking money to post advertisements, and shutting off accounts when there have been no violations. Never refunding the advertisement money.
    3. Doing experiments with false posts on Facebook with no authorization from users.
    4. Selling the information on underaged kids.
    5. Posting “by mistake” fake news information that wins elections.

    This episode addresses the 2012 and 2014 Facebook Emotional Contagion Study and the related lawsuit.

    Note that in my class this semester we studied the Facebook Emotional Contagion Study conducted in 2012. Facebook conducted a study on hundreds of thousands of people with no consent. It was found guilty of this in court. It claims fake news that changes election results is a mistake, but practiced manipulation willfully right before-hand of the same type.

  • Purple Clover

    Purple Clover

    By Andrea Menzies 07/14/26

    Purple Clover available on Amazon grows well. I purchased the seeds for my mom on Mother’s Day, and it is one of the few seeds I have bought that has grown up. My review is they are worth the money.
