War of the Worlds, Part Two

But yeah, welcome to the Pod Universe.

This is part two of War of the Worlds.

If, if this is your first episode, we urge you to at least go back one episode in the feed.

You are jumping in currently in the middle of a blockbuster podcast event, and you will not know what's going on, even though we will do the briefest of recaps in a moment here.

It's just to refresh the memories of those who have listened.

Uh, it's not how I would advise experiencing this for the first time.

No. We're really just gonna reestablish the stakes-

Yes

... not give you, give y'all the backstory.

But, uh, yeah, for, for you all, uh, if you are listening in real time, it has been one week.

For us, it has been two days.

Mm-hmm.

Um, as, as we have started, uh, assembling part one already.

Yep.

Just enough time for me to make a few more last-second rewrites.

[laughs]

Yes.

That is, that is true.

I will be reading some of today's script for the very first time.

For the first time.

[laughs]

Uh, isn't that exciting? I hope I like it.

[laughs]

Just, like, a few little bits.

Uh, there was a subplot that concluded in a way that did not satisfy me, and I, I was talking to you...
