Embrace The Void
Embrace The Void
Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

EV - 046 The Art of Sound (UNEDITED)
This is the unedited version of episode 46. The only thing I have done is put the audio regions in the right alignment, and made it a touch louder overall so it's not too quite to be unlistenable.
