We often joke that it's a Number 2's greatest ambition to get Number 6. You know, to REALLY get him. But what if ... just this once ... it was Number 6 who was doing the getting? What might that reveal about this strange little place we call the Village? Find out as Michael Hansen (@modality.bsky.social) joins for HAMMER INTO ANVIL.

This week, Number 6 gives up the solo-secret-agent act in favor of being a battlefield commander: a strategist who moves his pieces across the board, anticipates his enemy's moves, and lays traps to ensure victory. But who is he playing against, really? Em from Abnormal Mapping (http://www.abnormalmapping.com) join us to decide who's making moves in CHECKMATE!

Sorry for the last minute notice, but no episode this week, due to some sickness and conflicting schedule. We'll be back in two weeks with CHECKMATE!

Why must Number 6 always try and escape? Why don't we just get to see him sample the local culture, or some modern radio? Why not simply enjoy some tranche de vie? Or must there be the thunder of rebellion, the crash of conflict? No, no. Have a drink, relax, and get swept up in the DANCE OF THE DEAD.

Fellas, has this ever happened to you? You sail across the seas eating nothing but beans and you get to your home and a cool lady has moved in and bought your hand-built car? And she offers you tiny sandwiches and shows you her lease and offers your her dead husband's nice clothes? This happens to me all the time, and it will happen to Number 6 in MANY HAPPY RETURNS.

I'm not you, I'm me! I mean, wait - I'm you! Except you're me! Wait, no, you're not me! Wait, which one are you again? Well, whoever you are, join me as we tune in for Patrick McGoohan and his co-star, Patrick McGoohan, in THE SCHIZOID MAN.

We take a break from Number 6's plight in the Village to examine the entirely-unrelated career of John Drake, who is a... secret agent ... guy? Fellow? A man employed by ... government? To solve ... dangers? Look, who he is doesn't matter. What matters is: what to drink? Pour a glass and join us as we watch DANGER MAN.

From S1: View from the Villa, Name Date and Place From S3: Are You Going to Be More Permanent? All of S4: Koroshi, Shinda Shima

New regular episode next week!

It's election season, and you know what that means: it's time for some good old fashioned brainwashing. Just really scrub that thing down until it's as clean as a whistle. We're joined by Karla Zimonja (@zusty) to talk about the chaos of living in a democractic Village in FREE FOR ALL!

This is a dreamy party, baby! Just the sort of place for some classic Cold War cat-and-mouse. But why's the logic of this place feel a bit ... unnatural? Could this be a dream? A dream specifically architected to steal secrets from my MIND? Find out as we watch A, B, and C.
