With this here episode, you thought you were in for a secure on-the-chain experience, but… lo! You’re in for an episode that is absolutely, completely, and one-hundred percent OFF. the. chain. (like, the idiom, not the iconic Fleetwood Mac tune… that wouldn’t make any sense linguistically.) Buckle-in, strap-up, and push your lap-bar down as far as it will go, (also keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times) cause it’s time for another episode of the Play Greater Podcast! (also, it might be time to ride The Viper? It’s unclear…) Holy cow and/or smokes, it’s about to get Weathertop-crazy and Nazgul-nuts! So, if you’re waiting for a strider-like hunk of nature-loving, non-toxic masculinity… lights ON for ranger; otherwise, lights OFF for danger.
Listen as one of your hosts Christopher and two of your hosts Paul set up elaborate and ever more whimsical shownote traps for their sometime and currently absent audio technician. Judge for yourself how the proverbial game of grease and misnumbered pigs shakes out in the end…
For record-keeping purposes, it’s important to document that one of your hosts Christopher and two of your hosts Paul did, in fact, feed four to five thousand odd folks with a mere basket filled with Compile boxes, aux packs, and playmats.
