    84: The One-Time Time Loop

    In the book this week, an office drone wakes up in a time loop. Free from repercussions, she gleefully succumbs to her most destructive impulses... only to realise that the time loop only happened once, and now her life is ruined. Then, Erik and Matthew make beautiful music. At the risk of breaking the fourth wall, Lost in Narration follows two friends trapped in a fictional library. With no hope of escape, they resolve to read the library's many books, which are actually just absurd comedy scripts written by Matthew.

    83: Don’t Trust the A---- in Seat 23J (w/ StormVandal)

    In the book this week, the military apprehends what they believe to be a space ship, but once they've transported it to Area 51, they realise that it’s actually just a commercial airliner, filled with some very disgruntled passengers. Then, concerned and exasperated by Matthew’s delusions of having a podcast, StormVandal and Erik stage an intervention. At the risk of breaking the fourth wall, Lost in Narration follows two friends (and sometimes a third!) trapped in a fictional library. With no hope of escape, they resolve to read the library's many books, which are actually just absurd comedy scripts written by Matthew.

    78: The Hamilton Mannequin Hold-up

    In the book this week, a museum thief is about to be caught, until he finds the perfect cover: dressing up as Hamilton and pretending he’s a mannequin come to life. Like in movie?

    77: Great Depression Genie Ben (w/ Ben)
