10/28/2022
3 years! that's a lot of years! This time around we have a special minisode of Adam in a very mundane situation, its kind of an experiment but I quite like how it turned out. Following that we have a Q+A with Lee Tomanelli which is wild and fun and I think it's good. Thank you so much for listening to CoB and joining me on the journey of making season 1, I really can't thank you enough.

2 years of CoB Q&A!

10/28/2021
Hard to believe its been 2 years already, and what have I got to show for it? Not much... I'm joined by Greg Carrobis (Ghosts on a Train, Midsummers Quarantine) and we go through a few questions posed to us by listeners of CoB. We talk about inspirations for the world of CoB, what's next after season 1, if Epicurosa is single and much more! I must extend a huge thanks to Faustian Nonsense who have kept me going and are essential to keeping CoB around. More importantly to you, the listener, you honestly give me such motivations and it brings me such joy to see people enjoying this weird, nerdy project of mine. Thank you.
