  8. Will, Our CHAP in the Galacticas - What?! No, YOU Explain Episode 7

    2024-01-04

    Will, Our CHAP in the Galacticas - What?! No, YOU Explain Episode 7

    We have an episode with Will Cowan, the busiest man in showbiz (that I know personally). He takes some time from his band and podcast network to join Braden for a chat! First, Braden tells a story about a man who single-handedly (heh) created a sperm bank exclusively "populated" (heh) from Nobel Prize laureates at an incredibly worryingly recent time. Then, Will combines his two podcasts and tells Braden the story of the semi-forgotten video game based on the David Lynch Dune movie that helped influence an entire genre of video games! Then, of course the second to last episode of TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE. For this season anyways. Will Will's incredibly busy schedule and widely-spread interests allow him to find the truths within the lies, or will he be buried under the pile of curated bull provided by Braden?
