S2E15: Cleo Day Part 3 - Two weeks notice Nov 25, 2021

Show notes

Cleo and The Caps saw the secret in the bowels of the factory and have been on the loose ever since. They survived the walls, the charges, and even their own poor disguises. Somehow they’ve got to free their people from the factory’s fate and figure out how to get back up to the surface… With the take, of course. And each other.

S2E14: Cleo Day Part 2 - When dirt hurt Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

Posing as eager future employees, Cleo and The Caps gain entry to the factory. They stow their old gear, pull on their new jumpsuits, and feel their first hot water showers. They head further and further underground - still unsure what the job is, but keeping an eye peeled for the take to end all takes... The wonders of the factory are so strange that they nearly forget the one truth of the Bringening... That no good take comes easy.

S2E13: Cleo Day Part 1 - Wet Food Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

Cleo deCap is just another dirt farmer on Daius. And so is Bortis, and Fron- and everybody else they know. Thing is, Cleo has bigger dreams than just farming dirt. The Bringening is coming up, and the whole dang town and then some will be turning up to see it. This is the year that she's going to score a take bigger than Margot Blue Eyes McCracken- or anybody! Cause there's a shiny new factory down the way- and Margot thinks it's full of Ursine slavers.. But Cleo knows it's full of TAKES.

S2E11: Back in the hole Sep 30, 2021

Show notes

Did somebody call for a hole expert?

The galaxy's favorite hole experts are BACK in MidSpace and looking for a new place to stash their ship. Can't just leave it under Princess Zhu Zhu's nose! Jump on board and scout for real estate as our crew makes their way (downtown) through the sectors of MidSpace that they never got to see before, and then some! (..And don't forget to think some "green thoughts" while you're at it. You'll thank us later.)

Bobby Got Space 4 U Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

This week sit down with our Bastards to watch the Midspace famous show "Bobby got space 4 U!"

(HEY Bastards! Recognize the sound of this lil' treat? That's right! This is the show that the synths are listening to in the beginning of S2E8! Did we go and actually make the whole show? YEAH! YEAH WE DID! And it's real short, so come on in here and get you some daytime TV nostalgia with a side of family drama and slick Dan-style editing!)
