372 Pages - #169 - Bridge to Bat City - Ep 5 - Bat Dance
🕑 Added 2024-06-13 19:38:47 +0000 UTCOur final episode of Ernest Cline's Bridge to Bat City and it may not surprise you learn that Cline wraps everything up in exactly the way you'd expect him to.
There's a lot of Listener Mail, including some pretty good theories #cough harperlee cough trumancapote#, as well as a load of Dumb Sentences, and statistics on Mike's Real or Fanfic.
But to start it all off, many people wrote in with some truly stunning news ripped right from today's headlines. (I don't think we've EVER had anything quite this on the nose before.)
NOTE: We had some minor audio issues (blame on some new gear in Mike's rig.) so we'll make it up to y'all with a Bonus tbd. Thanks.

If you had asked me during the first third, I would have put money on it ending with a benefit concert. But "People Stand At Podium and Say 'Bats Are Cool' " is also cool.

What's the point of her meeting everyone, if they don't all come together during the city hall meeting?? Cline is worse than Groom

My 8-year-old son listened to some of the wrap-up with me in the car, and he wanted to assure you that the TMBG stuff for kids is indeed up to their usual standard.
