Episode description

with: Boots Raingear Kumquatxop Adam Bozarth Jimmyfranks Lemon

reading: botnik.org

Edited by Lemon.

In a complete departure from our usual approach, we spend this episode composing and reading text using Botnik's predictive text generators: the system used to write Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash. We give that a once over, and then play around with our own, including a Nicki Minaj song, Seinfeld beat poetry, and some crossover fic.

This episode is a bit o' knickers.

Music used:

  1. Shudder To Think - X-French Tee Shirt
  2. Nicki Minaj - Only
  3. Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues
  4. Kevin MacLeod - Fast Talkin'
  5. Seinfeld Theme
  6. West Wing Opening Theme
  7. West Wing Closing Theme
  8. a lot of Harry Potter production music
