In mid-October, Woody and I recorded a three part Politics episode. The first two parts were discussions about hypotheticals, like if JFK or RFK hadn't been killed. We wrapped up the evening with a discussion of the news of the day. As it worked out, the Birthday Words of Wisdom episode was almost exactly the right length to fill up the rest of my allotted upload time for the month, so I went ahead and put that up instead.
On the Pop Culture side, in late September John, Joe, and I recorded an episode about Chained Echoes. Given some limitations with how much time you could record and access per month with Zencastr at the time, I had us wrap up a first recording a little before we got to the two hour mark, and then we switched over to a new recording for the rest (about 25 more minutes). Well, as it turned out, Joe's audio for the second part got corrupted and lost. Since, technically, I had promised a part two of the Chained Echoes discussion, and since I was up for an editing challenge, I used John's and my audio from part 2 and rebuilt most of the conversation cohesively from that. That said, we really weren't talking about Chained Echoes any more by then... instead, we discussed John Wick, The Batman, A Haunting in Venice, theater experiences, some time travel movies, the book The Man Who Folded Himself, the then upcoming Loki season 2, and TV shows that last for perhaps too many seasons.
