The very handsome, famous physicist Dr. Brian Wecht raced down the corridors of the Vatican. "Hurry! The second episode of Leighton Night covering Dan Brown's Angels and Demons has to be around here somewhere!" His strong-willed, shorts-wearing companion Leighton, who was slender, was close behind him. "But what if we don't find it in time?" "My god," said Dr. Wecht as he looked back at her, his eyes blazing, "It's been right here all along!" The pair huddled around the etchings on the ground, written in a font so arcane, neither of them knew where to start. "Follow us on Twitter at @leightonnight and on Instagram/TikTok at @leighton_night. You can find Brian on Twitter/Instagram at @bwecht, and Leighton at @graylish (Twitter)/@buttchamps (Instagram)," the cipher read, "And if you don't want to hear us discuss how gross Dan Brown is about SA, you can skip the section from 26:12 to 41:31." Dr. Wecht shook his head. He couldn't believe a puzzle like this would say something so negative about his all-time favorite author, Dan Brown.

We're here today to celebrate the release of NSP's new album "These Nuts" and there's no better way to do it than by breaking down two songs from the album with producer Jim Roach! We go through Dance 'Til You Stop and I Own A Car, covering the genesis of the songs, how they changed from demo to final mix, hot behind-the-scenes production goss, unused takes, audio effects, and MORE! This one is really fun, and whether you're an audio pro or just like listening to it, there's a lot to learn here. You can listen to the album wherever you get music, and buy a physical copy at ninjasexparty.com.Follow us on Twitter at @leightonnight and on Instagram/TikTok at @leighton_night.

The world renowned physicist Dr. Brian Wecht gazed down at the MP3 file in front of him, his piercing blue eyes full of wonder. "An episode of this podcast? About Dan Brown's 2000 thriller Angels and Demons?" His slender, also blue eyed sidekick, Leighton, smirked. "No, Dr. Wecht. TWO episodes of this show." Dr. Wecht chuckled to himself. A book club? The critically acclaimed podcast Leighton Night with Brian Wecht had never done anything like this before. Despite being an international sensation almost 24 years ago and having fallen into relative obscurity since, few people knew the truth about Dan Brown's fast-paced race-against-time through Rome: it absolutely sucks. "I can't believe they recorded nearly three hours of themselves screaming about how terrible this book is," Leighton marveled, her slender legs slenderly slendering, much like the little known internet cryptid Slenderman, "Nobody even asked for this!" But Dr. Wecht was no longer listening. He was too fixated on the strange text scrawled on the parchment in front of him. It made no sense. Surely it must be some kind of clue! His eyes raced to translate the devious cipher: "Follow us on Twitter at @leightonnight and on Instagram/TikTok at @leighton_night.

We talk to them about their work, their time fishing for salmon in Alaska, and what they (and others) REALLY think about Brian and his various attitude/personal problems. What a treat!
