Strange Radio Speculation

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Join Hosts Sam and Cleo reading and analyzing chapters 26, 27, and 28 of Gideon the Ninth, covering topics such as: New Voice Acting Roles! ...and more bad math as a result, as well as: Gideon's trauma and self recrimination, faltering relationships on multiple levels, the aftermath of the 4th's deaths, body-horror-fleshmelding theories, the Great Decisions of Gideon the Ninth and the Consequences That Follow, Gideon loosing all her filters, the 8th house being creepy, then based, then creepier, then half-based, then even weirder than before, then shockingly cool, all while infodumping exposition, Ninth House Soap Operas and infinite staircase death, and excessive thank you loops.

(Also yes I did do the research: Turns out, for jerky you do want really lean slices of meat with as little fat as possible cause it just has a bad texture when jerkified. However! I (Editing Sam) was not entirely wrong, because when normally smoking meats (like birsket!) you do want the fattier pieces as they'll render down and create a juicier, more flavorful piece of meat. So. That's the down low on different meat types and smoking for you, our faithful jerky enjoying listener. That's all folks, I gotta get back to editing this episode now byyyyye)
