Week #2-Podcast

In the episode “World War VI” of the podcast “Please Stop Talking”, run by David, Ed and Avery, they attempt to tell their stories whilst having absolutely no gimmick. It really is interesting to hear these people outside of their work in a more casual space. it was the most humorous and enjoyable podcast I’ve ever had the pleasure to listen to. They have a side project that has intrigued me which had four of them set out on a D&D campaign but with less stories. In this episode of PST, Ed explains a story about him in class and hearing someone using a presentation to warm people there would be a war after ww3 named ww4 and it would be fought over locations of water. Avery tells about a launch party he attended as a result of his media in which he went to Germany. He describes in great detail, almost in a mock heroic sense, the journey he traveled to get an adapter to charge his electronics. He sets off and uses a map to go to a shop very far away from his hotel in Frankfurt, gets it after much trouble, and had to rely on landmarks such as a club or a place called mcfit. He gets it and begins his treck back when his anxiety flares up and he describes his feelings coming back as if everyone was staring at him almost like a hottie movie. He gets close and sees a public WiFi signal from a “Christ Church public WiFi” and has just enough battery to find his way home as the rest of the members home joke it was a revelation for him in the most literal sense. There’s also some stories from the rest of his trip and him getting drunk many times in airports. These people have some great stories and the causality of the podcast allows me to see another side of these entertainers.
