This is the 289th episode of a long-running imaginary podcast called CatsCast. It ran on all the Escape Artists podcasts on April 1, 2020, so if you were listening to any of them at the time, you may have heard this one already. We also announced that one of our (imaginary) 2019 episodes won an award: "The Cats That Fall on You From Nowhere" was awarded the American Surrealist Society's coveted Invisible Candle award for "reminding everyone of that Magritte painting with all the men in bowler hats, because he did more than just that one with the pipe, you know".
