We're Not Dead #40

[Kram]

Yeah, Adventureless_Hero, I was thinking along these lines too -- of children being missed.

I posted this in the Ch30 P2 thread:

Regarding Lizzie being protected -- perhaps Durai or Scratch is just really into long-term planning. Raising a child would be a big drain on resources, but maybe the relative safety of the Colony makes it seem possible. It would probably take at least ten or twelve years for such an investment to pan out for Durai/Scratch -- but if they want to survive long-term, they are going to need new fighters/workers to replace the ones they lose. They are definitely ruthless enough to use child soldiers / slaves.

I'm really not sure about this idea though -- the theory that Lizzie and the baby are being kept as bargaining chips is probably more likely. The Mallers' increased security at the Colony is the only reason why I think D/S might be considering the far future potential of Lizzie's baby.

I think any characters planning for the long-term survival of humanity, like Kimmet, will also know how important it is to continue to have children.

The Good News: We recorded episode #40 (WND is over the hill) last night. It was awesome and Dr. Jason is a wicked smart, insightful and hilarious guy! It was a really awesome episode!

The Bad News: You may never get to hear it. We're experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment and are trying to salvage one of the audio files. If push comes to shove, we will re-record the episode. So if the podcast isn't out today, you now know why. We have our best guys (Beez) working on it.

And I will start the teasing now: You will be getting an off week episode! And it will be an interview of a cast member. Begin speculation.....now!

I was going to report this post under the grounds that I find it problematic. : (

You can report it, but I don't think I'm going to take much action against myself

Ok guys, the episode has been released and here is the official disclaimer to this particular episode:

As I said earlier there were technical difficulties. Jason's audio file disappeared after our hour plus long conversation. So in order to give you the podcast in the appropriate time frame, it has been edited to remove Jason entirely. It is an unfortunate and completely sucky situation because the conversation really was entertaining, and exceptionally informative.

Our apologies that this occurred. But I would like to thank Jason for coming on and we promise he will be in a future episode so he can yell at me for picking on Kentucky (who seriously would have guessed that he would make be from Kentucky??!!), and give us his insight into why he thinks it's not genetic mutation that causes the zombies to happen. Britt and I would also very much like to thank Beez for putting in the extra effort this week to get the episode out for everyone to listen to.

Enjoy the podcast, and remember to vote for who you think the special guest is for next week's episode here.

I LOVE Nik's rant. Awesome opening!

With Jason's audio feed dying I was terrified we'd have to re-record the podcast and I'd have to try to mimic the sheer amount of anger and annoyance I have been feeling all week, but went away right after I let loose. It would have been all...fake and forced and shit. So I'm glad I didn't have to do that again.

I'm also glad we're already labeled explicit. Or that'd have put us into that category immediately!
