James has never read Moby Dick before and it shows. Go follow Tex on Twitter over at @thatsqueakypig, read his book HECK, TEXAS published by Atlatl Press, and check out his podcast Mumbo Jumbo (A Movie Podcast) on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Separated from Caitlin by the force of a never-ending lockdown, James lost his mind and began writing on the walls with his own shit. Not really. Instead he got bored and decided to practice recording by chatting to himself about some of the cool games and books he’s been enjoying recently, including but not limited to Serial Cleaner / Hotline Miami Collection / Abzu / Immortal Planet / Thumper / Chainsaw Poems & Other Poems / Watertown / The Bell Jar / HECK, TEXAS / Fucked Up / Ruthless Little Things / Mike Andrelczyk’s Apartment Paintings / Sad Drawings By Jace / Sam Pink’s Instagram / Progress Update for Bad Idea Machine / Call for Dead Dogs

Caitlin and James take their first small steps out into the Brave New World that is amateur podcasting, armed with just one PGA58, an iPad, and a single-track interface. Early on, our intrepid new podcast hosts face gruelling tests to both their skills and equipment, as his over-reliance on a convoluted script causes James to temporarily lose himself inside the Cave of Echoey Vocals & its’ Tunnels of Performance Anxiety - leaving Caitlin with no choice but to face the void alone as they grapple with the question that defined the Winter of 1992: Should fish be sexy?

Caitlin and James crudely attempt to introduce the show as they fumble through the basics of making a podcast whilst hiding away from the first heavy rain of Autumn.
