In this episode, the two Matts record their other podcasts after switching bodies, tease something special to come next episode, berate endangered animals for not trying harder in their own conservation efforts, and talk about urban fantasy stories in the last of our set about slightly fantasy stories. What are the benefits of writing urban fantasy compared to other subgenres? How close to the real world can it be despite all these fantasy elements? When does a magic realism story become an urban fantasy one? How dare Matt Donald reveal that the De Papier brothers are not real and are just silly voices? We discuss it all, in the fantastical urban realm that is our recording studio, and talk about Harry Potter, Supernatural, Twilight, and a more fantastical version of Groundhog Day where the town is cursed and Phil Connors is replaced with Phil Collins.
