In this episode, the two Matts are even MORE tired, recall another one of Captain Writ's legendary adventures, wonder what the point was bringing dinosaur fossils to space, and talk about writing nonfiction, scientific journals, research papers, and other informational texts in the most fun manner possible for such a dry topic. How do you keep your readers interested? Should you still research even if you're confident you know all about the subject? Can a nonfiction piece be too dry even for people already interested in the subject? Will Matt Donald get a good night sleep after recording this marathon of the last four episodes? We discuss it all, with the most goofy and charming wit one can muster for this kind of topic, and talk about space, music, dinosaurs, the 1920s, and other non-pop culture stuff.
