Today's level of depression is too high to speak, so, I thought I could open the podcast in the written form instead. So, yeah, here we'll basically be struggling to be less depressed and stay as productive as possible each day, every day, just like in real life. The first "series" produced under this podcast will be "zero to LITERATURE RAMBO!" in which you'll witness quite a struggle to fill our souls with more literature, just like Rambo worked for... you got it probably by now, let's move on. I was originally about to start a Youtube channel to create "zero to hero content" by playing a particular life-draining online game, but then I thought I'd rather start with Depressed and Productive already, which had been on my mind for quite some time now. Let me give you the details of the first episode, this was the main purpose of this description part and I just put it behind so many shelves of sticks and stones, I binge watched The Boys too many times, sorry for inappropriate use of idioms... this is what I have to deal with. I won't delete this part so that I can learn from it;

For the opening of zero to LITERATURE RAMBO! I tought an omnibus movie would be great: Histoires Extraordinaires a.k.a Spirits of the Dead . "Where's the literature in there?" First of, how dare you, secondly, this omnibus is based on three Poe stories, hence the poem, see, it's all connected. It would be great if you read the stories, then watched the movie, and then listened to the podcast, but you know, you're an adult (probably), so consume at your own expense. Please check out the subreddit and don't forget submitting your suggestions for the following episodes. Depressed and Productive is meant to be shaped by its community.
