ExplicitAppendix B: Friederich Nietzsche and H.P. Lovecraft, featuring James Adomian and Paul Scheer | 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. | 1 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitChapter 7: P.G. Wodehouse, featuring Brian Stack | 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. | 20 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitChapter 6: Gertrude Stein, featuring John Ross Bowie | Chapter 6: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes author, poet, art collector and wake-and-baker Gertrude Stein (John Ross Bowie) to the Dead Authors stage for a convivial discussion of all sorts of things! Poetry: Tedious or just embarrassing? "Recreational" herbs: How much is too much? And The Ladies: Who doesn't love them? | 14 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitChapter 5: Carl Sagan, featuring Matt Gourley | Chapter 5: Astronomer, astrophysicist, author and turtleneck fetishist Carl Sagan (Matt Gourley) sits down with H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) for a freewheeling chat at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre Los Angeles. How many odd tangents are embarked upon? To coin a phrase, billions and billions! Please do enjoy, and, should you be so inclined, leave a us a review on iTunes. | 17 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitChapter 4: Benjamin Franklin, featuring Scott Aukerman | Chapter 4: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes author, inventor, diplomat and party animal Benjamin Franklin (Scott Aukerman) to the Dead Authors stage for an oft-sprited, oft-absurd, and oft-off-kilter discussion about God knows what. It must be heard to be believed, and even after hearing it you should still check three sources. Ambassador Franklin is a bit of a libertine when it comes to naughty words, so plug your ears up, you bunch of nuns! (Sorry, It's infectious!) | 5 12 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitChapter 3: Dorothy Parker, featuring Jen Kirkman | Chapter 3: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes Algonquin Round Tabler Dorothy Parker (Jen Kirkman) to the Dead Authors stage. The liquor does flow and the mots are bon! Mrs. Parker's employment of the occasional spicy phrase earns this Chapter its red-letter rating. Do not listen with your maiden aunt unless a fainting couch stands nearby! | 8 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitChapter 1: Emily Dickinson, featuring Andy Richter | Chapter 1: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes painfully shy poetess Emily Dickinson (Andy Richter) to the stage of The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, Los Angeles. There are some minor sound problems. We're working on it. By Chapter 3, we'll all be laughing about this! | 20 9 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Nobel Prize-worthy!
Wake up the-scientific-community, while you were out looking for Higgs bosoms or something, podcasting just invented time-travel. HG Wells is back and this time he's angry at Jules Verne.
It's tea-time on the Internet, pass the frickin muffins.
Not funny
PFT should stick to doing cartoon extra voices, stinks.
