Well, hey guys, you know, they can't all be winners. Sometimes you try something thinking it will be fun and it turns into more of what we in the podcasting biz call "a learning experience." And that's what Jeff the Killer: Scars of Corruption is: a learning experience.

I hope you're ready for part 2. We've got family abandonment, alien perversion, duels to the ego death, fish people, jellyfish people (they're different), and of course lots of drugs.

Apologies, we had some issues with John's audio on this one. Ben and John sit down to discuss the time-honored tradition of Overpopulation Fiction. Is it dead? Is it more relevant than ever before? Can Ben ruin John's career by tricking him into bad-mouthing Taylor Swift?

This week nobody asked for this. Ben didn't. Nate didn't. The fans didn't. But yet here we are because SOMEBODY didn't write a book that would take 2 parts despite being 400+ pages. Blame that guy.

This week Nate tackles something very near and dear to his heart: Mass Effect. Also Shamus Young, a writer who had tragically passed away just a few short years ago. Ben is also here. Sometimes. He's around here. Occasionally he has some good observations that are born out of Nate failing to properly get his point across or describe Shamus Young's writing concepts and then he has to go back and add in a lot of post-record...

This week we discuss a book that Nate struggles to get right and struggles to remember the fine detail of. Ben does a lot of heavy lifting. A dog not named Scooby Doo uses Scooby-Doo-like tactics to murder some men. Will Sherlock save the day? Yes.
