No matter what Brandon says, there are skeletal deer out and about, and they ain't going away.

With bonus text appearance by Marie Bilodeau! … Show Notes
Spirits are trying to break into the bunker! Are they friend or foe? Meanwhile, we discuss panel kaiju and pro wrestling with Tracy Townsend and John Wiswell, and how not to hold a Hugo Award like a penis. Plus Brandon gets a cookie delivery on air! … Show Notes

Back after a (slight) delay - caused by an invasion of British redcoats! Never fear, we have the perfect pair to help us beat them back, or at least keep us entertained until it's safe outside.

As the animal uprising threatens to tear Ottawa apart (but who can blame them, really), we're joined by both halves of the Shale Project, Avi Silver and Sienna Tristen, to discuss living through tough crap, fixed mindsets vs growth mindsets, sales pitches for Tides of Numenera and Hades, and being parents to reptiles.

Brandon has regained control of the transmitter, with just enough power to report on something NEW in the bunker.

Despite various warnings and portents, Evan is still sequestered in the deepest corner of the bunker - with even more buttons!

Brandon reports in from the primary control room, where EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY FINE. Don't worry about the alarms.

Continuing from our first chat with them in Escape the Fall 2019! Everything was colour. … Show Notes
Evan has retreated into the "other" control room, and no one knows where Brandon is.

Hello, survivors! We're coming up on the launch of Season Two, beginning with the Batman Duel episode on May 4.
