    Behind The Lines Episode 8

    Their Flight Is Terminal. Their Landing Optional. Buckle up for a high-altitude comedy of errors where the safety announcement is the least of your concerns. When Gary and Simon board a bargain flight to Los Angeles, they quickly realize they are the only real people on a plane chartered by a rowdy convention of celebrity impersonators. The journey takes a terrifyingly hilarious turn when an unexpected crisis leaves the cockpit empty and the bing-bong machine broken. With the cockpit door locked and the mature aircraft beginning its descent, Gary, armed with 1,500 hours of flight simulator experience, must step up to save the day. But navigating a disaster isn't easy when you're surrounded by so-called stars who are a little too in character, a disgruntled hijacker with an axe to grind, and a literal, impatient Grim Reaper waiting in the aisles. From arguments over the flavor of in-flight crisps to a desperate attempt to break into the cockpit using a magic wand, Gary and Simon must face their inevitable end with a touch of wit and a lot of luck. Can this unlikely duo pull off a landing they can walk away from, or is their flight path truly terminal?

    Yule Never Walk Alone

    New Universe. New Iceland. Same Old Chaos. After narrowly escaping the total destruction of their own reality, multiversal refugees Simon and Gary are looking for a little holiday R&R. Simon thinks he’s found the perfect hideaway: a remote, luxury spa retreat in the frozen wilds of Iceland. It’s supposed to be four days of peace, quiet, and getting away from it all. But the locals aren’t the only ones watching them. When ancient Icelandic folklore crashes into their "borrowed" lives, the duo finds themselves hunted by the thirteen Yule Lads, mischievous trolls with a taste for more than just Skyr and stolen spoons. From stinky cheese-filled luggage to high-speed skidoo chases across the tundra, Simon and Gary must outrun a supernatural curse that was never meant for them. They survived the end of the world… but can they survive a traditional Icelandic Christmas? Merry Christmas and thanks for listening to this episode.

    Greetings Behind the Liners!In this episode I finally get around to reviewing the 50th Anniversary Box Set of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

Also I recorded it in a different room than usual so the sound quality is a bit echoey, I’ll sort that out for next time I promise.Anyhow, find out what I think of this release and, more importantly, what I think could have been included by listening with your ears. There are some links below to things I mentioned in the episode, hope you enjoy them.My unboxing videoThe Lamb review part 1The Lamb review part 2 Thanks for listening to this episode.
