The Season 1 Spoiler Page

Now that we've reached the end of the season, it can be told that the story writes itself. As Zack Oldman asked, did the bad guy win? Well, no. We're too full of pragmatic cheer for that. But sometimes the bad guy learns a lesson. Not in our story, though. We're pretty sure the bad guy isn't as bad as advertised, either. Sometimes, the bad guys come in all shapes, sizes, and build revisions. And, in upcoming seasons, they might return. We don't know, as the stories have yet to write themselves. That is absolutely not to say we use Artificial Intelligence to write anything. Be assured, Perennial Listener, that we use our own brains, fingers, toes, and tails to write, perform, record, edit, and produce every morsel you hear.

It's been a crazy ride this season as we learned what to do and what to never do again as we made Season 1: The Last Great American Election for you. We're taking the rest of this year off to rest our parts in anticipation of a new set of stories and a new cast of characters for Season 2: Whatever We're Calling It. We did put several clues in the current season that might give an indication of what might happen in the next year, so you might have already started a conspiracy board of your own to try and figure out what we're up to. If so, please post photos on our Facebook page to give us something to plagiarize. The writing retreat takes place in January, and we'll start recording in March when Le Cellar Studio warms up.

Until then, we would like to thank Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull for providing most of the soundtrack by which this season was written, the fine ladies and gents of a couple of Starbucks where much of this season was written in a comfortable corner chair, and the makers of Scrivener for making some really good writing software. And, of course, Apple, without whom none of this would be possible for so little budget.

By the way, if you're reading this and haven't subscribed to our show, you're either a random AI scraping the page or you're missing the audio boat. Apparently, subscribing is the ideal way of making the show known to the rest of the world (because analytics and algorithms are ruining the internet one data point at a time), so please help out a little show with big dreams, if you would. And be good to yourself and everyone else... it might be the only way to stop PerQon from becoming a reality. See you in '25!
