1:38:33 POV you just purchased an item from Beedle
I'm sure plenty of people have thought of this and it probably has been done somewhere but audio dramas, especially in this format where there's no narrator voice, would REALLY be the perfect medium to tell stories with a blind PROTAGONIST.
Odyssey actually does this sometimes, to their credit. There's an interesting 3 parter we didn't cover called The Perfect Witness, which is about Jenny, and a later character named Lisa Mulligan gets a couple of her own episodes.
41:40 I'm playing dark souls while listening to this and am in fact having a good time
So i was listening to an older episode (the ethics in journalism one) when you point out that they are making Connie dumber and incredibly credulous. And now it makes sense because in this episode we learned that she had previously handed off her higher brain functions to Whit
idk how i didnt peg josh as an ex-goon sooner but it makes a lot of sense in hindsight
also i don't know why i didn't expect you guys to know who brian david gilbert is but in hindsight that also makes sense because he too is a disillusioned former theater kid who does specific deep dives into media
Whosain
Love hearing Connie pounce and immediately start info vomiting Jesus at the new person. It's funny and icky cause I saw that very same scenario multiple times.
i love hearing HK just completely see Oddesy from almost the same perspective as A.J. right out the gate.
maybe.....it's really the throcks who've been teaching us
remember alf? he's back! in throck form!
Wtf this is just a normal prayer
