    I would like an order of Obscurigami please, my usual. For the main course, let’s have Thomas and Ben discussing the TV show Salvage One with, oh I don’t know, some kind of garnish. Medium rare, but not too pink! Then, on the side, let’s have another one of those Random Wikipedia article thingees. Oh! And don’t forget the vintage artwork by Matthew Flight. I’ll have a whole bottle. Send the bill to [email protected] and subscribe in iTunes.

  • Ep8 OK Soda

    Episode 8.

    Once, when Thomas and Ben were sleeping in separate parts of the world, they awoke to discover that they had a shared dream. They imagined in the deep stages of REM that they hosted a podcast called Obscurigami, all about obscure things, and that there was once an obscure thing called OK Soda. They also dreamed about random Wikipedia articles, their website obscurigami.com, and their email address [email protected]. When they awoke, they discovered that the podcast of their dreams could be found on iTunes, Stitcher, and other Podcast Capturing Softwares, and also that Matthew Flight is a Real Artist. They also found a case of OK Soda in each of their respective refrigerators.

    This is not a coincidence.

  • Ep6 Benjamin Harrison

    Download Here.

    There once were two friends, with lives something lacking

    Then late one night they decided on podcasting

    Ben and Thomas was how they were named

    and Obscurigami burst forth without shame

    But soon their joy turned to sorrow

    For they found they had to record on the morrow

    “Alas for a topic!” cried Ben most sincere

    As he munched on the chips and reached for the beer

    “Never fear!” responded Thomas with patient guise

    “I have inspiration! Now listen, be wise!

    "Before you go storming your mind’s empty garrison

    "Let me tell you about Benjamin Harrison.”

    Ben’s eyes were aglow as Thomas waxed on eloquent

    About this obscure President and his secretary’s elopement

    “That’s brilliant!” cried Ben, “now what to do?”

    “Here you go,” said Thomas, “a random Wikipedia article for you.”

    So now my friends, this our show

    May it bring peace to your heart and leave it aglow.

    However, if not, be sure to complain

    [email protected], I hope that is plain
