The Last Post

As the imminent apocalypse looms large, Alice Fraser caught a moment with on-the-run unsuccessful children's party Neil Gaiman impersonator and successful Neil Gaiman ghostwriter Neil Gaiman after he escaped the suspiciously over-friendly winter solstice celebrations on Summerisle, in the independent biodome formerly known as Scotland. 

Neil first aired his curiosity in the local tradition in episode 336 (Scotland news), before returning to the show in episode 342 having witnessed at close quarters the most unexpected conception at the weredragon v Welsh dragon thunderdome.

As the year 2020 hurtles to a close, the negotiations with the space-time continuum glitch that delivers this podcast to at least one other dimension have reached a critical point. Comandante Nato Green, union organiser and negotiation expert, tells us what to expect. 

If you're with us at this stage, there's every chance you know what Nato is about. If you missed any episodes over the holiday period though, do pop back and catch up as things have been heating up.

As the octopus people of New New Zealand emerge from the seas, celebrity celebrity Andrew Zaltzman ponders the future relationship between humans and cephalopods. What happens with their voting rights when in international waters, or in the contested fishing seas surrounding the UK? Are they communists? And is the whole octopus people story just a hoax anyway?

If you enjoyed Andrew today, then press play any episode of 2020 at random and there's a 1 in 6 chance you'll hit on another of his appearances.

Wait, what happened there? Are we back? Is this the apocalypse? 

In part two of the first-ever live The Last Post - recorded in front of an audience of loyal Posters - Alice Fraser was joined by flapjack lumberjack Alison Spittle, tech bajillionaire Josh Gondelman, and time scientist Matt Kirshen.

As dragons circle the land, octopus people emerge from the seas, and sleepers from history return in our time of greatest need, our guests try to steady themselves long enough to report on the end of days. 

If you missed part one, jump back and listen to episode 357 and this one will probably make even less sense.

With the Morgan-Johnson human/weredragon offspring circling overhead, and the Welsh dragon potentially seeking a rematch, who are the socialist revolutionaries siding with? 

Nato Green, Leader of the People's Army of the People United, joins Alice Fraser to draw his battle lines in the scorched lands of Britain. 

If none of this makes any sense, or even if it actually does, then it's well worth (re)listening to every episode from Neil Gaiman's Dragon news (ep 342) onwards to try and piece together just what has gone on these past two weeks.

King Arthur has arriven! Arriven? Arriven. John-Luke Roberts and Alice Fraser cross swords on the show today, as the recently-rediscovered royal covered surprise night-time knighting and, more significantly, the awakening of King Arthur, who has returned in our hour of greatest need. 

To hear more of the crazy goings-on of the past couple of weeks, you'd do well to (re)listen to every episode from 342 (Dragon news) onwards as things have gotten kinda wild.

Alice Fraser is joined by flapjack lumberjack Alison Spittle, tech bajillionaire Josh Gondelman, time scientist Matt Kirshen, plus a rare appearance from the increasingly-resentful glitch in the space-time continuum! This is part one of the live video show recorded on 20th December (ish).

Together they discussed some huge events - the birth of the Piers Morgan and Boris Johnson weredragon/human crossbreed child, sleepers awakening across the world, and the glitch getting glitchy. 

Stay tuned for Part 2 on Friday 25th December - we're pretty sure there's not much else happening on that day.

What makes an all-American Christmas in 2020 for The American? How about packing the family into a warm, poorly-ventilated room, eating buffet food, laughing in each other's faces, and getting up close for some classic party games like suck and blow. 

To hear The American's other appearances this year, listen to episodes 286 (American Hobby news), 294 (Election Heat news), and 351 (Deplorables news).
