So, now that you’re cramming ads (if I never listen to a podcast that ISN’T hawking audible.com or gotomypc, I’ll be a happy man) into our ears, will you ever respond, in the podcast, to any of the mountains of feedback you’ve received?

Which isn't to say that the conceit wasn't cool and engaging. I just thought it could have been better executed.</p> I feel like the protagonist was kind of the weak link, basically just a cookie-cutter, hard-boiled vehicle for the conceit.

I don't know if it was horror. At least not like most of the stories on this show but I loved it. Nice mix of drama, fantasy, and humor.</p> I really enjoyed it. I don’t know if it was horror.

But no its actually kind of a sequel to that other story Goon Job, (also by the same author) and I liked Goon Job, and listening to this story being along the same lines was actually kind of nice, but someone should have mentioned it in the opening, because I was seriously thinking "Did Someone Screw Up" until it defined itself as a different story. Good story however (either of them Goon Job or Merlin's Bane) no fault there.</p> I was listening to this and for the first bit I was like UHHH is this a dupe?
