Agreed, and made painfully clear how I feel about my different podcasts listening to one right after the other.

Tanis: Callie doesn't exist, heh ok I guess.
Magnus Archives: Wait WAIT THAT SCREAM, THAT OUTBURST! HOLY poo poo THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO SASHA

What's cool is this has been around since the beginning.

then there's the sound of the play button being pushed, which I guess means that I'm listening to these tapes or something, but why don't i also hear myself putting the cassette in the deck and pushing it closed? or did sims splice in the sound of the play button being pressed in editing the tapes??? Or are each of these recordings only 13 minutes long and then he records a 30-second supplemental on a whole other tape, I mean that's just so wasteful. But if it's on one tape, why is the play button being pushed again? At the end of each story, am I, the listener, pressing Stop, then immediately Play again so I can hear the supplemental?

I'm not even listening to these on a tape recorder, I'm playing them on my cellphone?

I wish something would loving happen in the new Within the Wires season. Every single episode has felt like "Check out this painting. I'm pretty jealous of Claudia's personal and artistic success. Isn't our world weird? I wonder where she went. Fin." and I'm wondering when a conflict will arise.

MK: That's right.

Nic: Can you email it to me?

Only it wasn't a rock.

Anyone still keeping up with Mabel? I can't find a translation for the morse code in the most recent episode and don't want to ask my friends who know morse code to listen to a random episode.

Yeah, I am. No clue about the morse code unfortunately, I was dissapointed their official transcript didn't have it.

I did like Mr. Spider; it kind of reminded me of the beginning of The Babadook. Elias taunting the policewoman for ten minutes wasn't as good, in my opinion. I did finally get caught up with this series right before season three started. It's never going to be my favorite podcast (I think something about Jonathan's voice just causes my mind to wander, and so I end up missing key points), but it's solid writing and some of the episodes are really good. I'm a little off-balance right now, as I think I missed some points in the finale. I can't remember how Leitner died, but I guess not-Sasha killed him and John got blamed? So now he's on the run?

Elias killed him when John left the room.

e: Mr. Spider was great, and is probably one of my favourite episodes. I've always felt a little let down by any episode with the police in it though, including this one. None of them ever seem like they are appropriately, I don't know, menacing?

My only real complaint is I cannot tell the voices of the various cops apart; the fact that Basira and Daisy were different people came as a surprise to me, as some sort of weird dark mirror version of another goon's total disinterest in two different Tanis characters being the same.

TMA needs to find a new way to move the plot forward besides "Johnny gets kidnapped." They're leaning on that one a little hard.

The last time he was kidnapped by the stranger the voice of the stranger was so freakin' absurd that I was positive he was going to turn on the lights and ha ha it's just his roommate playing a goof on us and then the episode just ended.

Also, Bright Sessions is sort of back. The main story is done, but they’re releasing one-shot stories about other patients. Today’s was an astral projector played by Jassika Nicole of Alice Isn’t Dead.

Man, did anyone else think that season 4 of the Bright Sessions was a major let down compared to season 3? Damian's home invasion and everything happened after was some super tense, powerful story telling, and then season 4 felt like it just forgot to have a conflict.

You're missing episodes.

It felt very focused and also completely unfocused at the same time. Some kind of anti-AM was clearly necessary, and who better to do it, and then it turns out AM isn’t the worst maybe and they’re going to change it from the inside? Okay...

The part that got me was in the last two episodes, oh, poo poo, let's sink wadsworth, but we need to do espionage, and the AM was founded by a secret society of french monks, and this will be accomplished with one evening of reading through books.
