Don is now officially a Chicagoan again. David is perilously close to being divorced. It’s a whole new world!

Gang—things have come to head and the Apes need a break in the routine. This episode is short, has Don reading his lessons of Year 58 and that’s it. We’ll be back in March.

The Apes discuss what they do with free time, the writers they love, and break down what devices in writing turn them on.

David decides to have a bit more to drink prior and during the podcast than he should and ends things with an extended riff on Saltburn.

We’re all so certain of things. What music we like, other art, the foods, places we visit, etc. It’s hard to change our minds of things. But it does happen. So what have you changed your mind about recently? And how did that come to be?

The Apes wax philosophical about the upcoming new year. Also, some trash talk and a terrible Celine Dion joke.

It’s the time of year that Don gets navel-gazey and he wants to know what links on the chain David has forged. Also, the 1984 George C. Scott version of A Christmas Caorl is the definitive version. FACT.

A throwback to the days of youth and vigor! The time of year caught up with us and we couldn’t record this week. So, here’s the very first episode of over 300! Enjoy!

David reads a thing in an online magazine and has opinions. Apparently, so does Don. Anyone shocked that this podcast isn’t more popular than Serial?
