11 min - Prospero & Viola, Act Four
Someone’s missing. The castaways strike out in pursuit, but will their preparations be enough?
If you want more background to some of the mysteries of the island, it’s worth listening back to season 3, A Town Called Amnesty, and season 6, Parallax.
Dragonmeet is in Hammersmith, London on Saturday 30 November. Matt’s running a session of Impulse Drive by Adrian Thoen in the evening gaming session - if you want to play, you can reserve a place at the table with a £2 donation to Vision Rescue (click Book Tickets, scroll to Evening Games and choose The Uncharted Territories). Or if there are spaces left on the day, just ask the staff where to sign up for games when you arrive at the convention.
Our promo this episode is for The Space Jam Continuum on Kaiju FM. When Cal and Chris started documenting the complex Looney Tunes continuity leading up to Space Jam, they had no idea those pesky basketball aliens were coming back in 2020. Now they need to get their findings in front of Space Jam 2 star LeBron James as a matter of urgency. Track their efforts on Twitter with the hashtag #HelpUsHelpLeBron.
