Chapter 12: Mary Shelley, featuring Laraine Newman Oct 31, 2012

Show notes

Chapter 12: Just in time for Hallowe'en, H.G. Wells chats with the Frankenstein author about her work. Did you know "Frankenstein" was not the name of the monster? It was actually Herman something!

Chapter 11: J.R.R. Tolkien, featuring Matt Walsh Oct 23, 2012

Show notes

Chapter 11: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes nerd hero/nerd hater J.R.R. Tolkien (Matt Walsh) to the Dead Authors stage. There is, distressingly, as much discussion of Tom Bombadil as you might fear.

Chapter 10: Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring Chris Tallman Oct 12, 2012

Show notes

Chapter 10: For a chap who went on and on about deductive reasoning, he sure seemed to think faeries were real. The loudly Scottish Sir Arthur (Chris Tallman) has plenty to say to H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins), some of it is even fit for mixed company!

Chapter 9: Jorge Luis Borges, featuring Nick Kroll Jul 25, 2012

Show notes

Chapter 9: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes the quietly trippy Jorge Luis Borges (Nick Kroll) to the Dead Authors stage. What a night of accents this was!

Chapter 8: Aesop, featuring Mark McConville May 29, 2012

Show notes

Chapter 8: Do you have friends who insist upon doing "voices" for their idiotic dogs? Well, you can blame the original animal anthropomorphizer, Aesop (Mark McConville). Join H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) as he delves into the mind behind so many lazy grasshoppers and eating dirorederd foxes. Have you ever wondered just what the true pronunciation of "Aesop" is? After listening to this, you will continue to do so!

Appendix B: Friederich Nietzsche and H.P. Lovecraft, featuring James Adomian and Paul Scheer May 01, 2012

Show notes

As you await the incipient arrival of Chapter 8 and dear Aesop (not to mention Chapter 2 and long-lost Robert Louis Stevenson), please allow H.G. Wells [Paul F. Tompkins] to divert your attentions with this particularly potty treasure (?) from our archives, with special (??) guests (???) Friedrich Nietzsche [James Adomian] and H.P. Lovecraft [Paul Scheer]. Note: if you are easily offended, you may find this one a bit challenging. Mostly because it very rarely makes any sense AT ALL.

Chapter 7: P.G. Wodehouse, featuring Brian Stack Mar 20, 2012

Show notes

Chapter 7: Jeeves & Wooster creator P.G. Wodehouse (Brian Stack) visits with H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) and it's not long before things get disturbing (in the most British way possible). There is a surprising amount of talk about donkeys. No matter how much talk of donkeys you were expecting, there is more than that.
