    Dangerously Recognizable with Langston Belton!

    In this episode: We go the most meta we ever have as we create a villain who lives through works of art and literature and the hapless writer Sarah who has to write the one book that could stop him! Will she succeed, or will her editor get in the way?  And is this meta or confusing? Our special guest is, in a word, legendary. You've seen him in Puffs, you've seen him in Guy Choiceman... it's the inimitable Langston Belton! As always, theme song by Arthur Brogson.
