You beat me to it. 826LA is burned into my memory from the Dead Authors Podcast.
Ben Schwartz finding out live on stage that his childhood hero Roald Dahl was an antisemite while improvising as Roald Dahl is one of the most hilarious and simultaneously heartbreaking things I’ve ever heard.

Just wanted to add a very enthusiastic third vote for Dead Authors Podcast.
And have been meaning to get out to the time travel mart for years now. Must do this summer!

Oh, monkey pox had run its course. Everyone made it through relatively unscathed. The outbreak of squid pix on the other hand…
