Something didn't quite click with this one, for me. I liked the world they were in, though there were a few "Hey, lookit at this future thing!", namely, Dan mentioning his husband, $200 for burgers, "We'll never see prices like $10/gallon again", etc. They kind of stuck out, as plausible as they were, not sure why. The Dan/Rack situation has been done many times, and I don't think it was done especially better this time, nor was the "Things change quickly" situation. Lots of good staging, but the actors were only mediocre.
Oh, and I want a Moogle MacDougal.
And count me as another Dr Demento fan who got a HUGE laugh out of Steve's intro.
I haven't listened to the ep 241 yet, but I hope that Mur's audio setup is as crisp and clean as Steve's. That's something that I've always admired about his podcasts, they're clean as a whistle. Nothing against Alistair, but his, along with some folks over at Pod Castle's, audio can be a bit murky, which I find disappointing if you're going to be a host. DKT's and Norm Sherman's audio is pretty clean as well.
But I digress. Good note to go out on, Steve, and I hope you host again soon, free from producer stress.
