who the fuck is mr blobby

Enno :3

With Alice question, everybody deserves a space to just exist in. I love that. And Needles was one I actually really liked. XD

Jenny Rii

Mastering editor here! We also do some sneaky sound design after the SFX/Soundscape/Music is drafted. But it's a secret, because it involves (3) sacrifices and (1) Gateway-branded keyboard from the 90s. And we're running out of keyboards.

Catherine Rinella

So I know TMA isn’t supposed to be funny but I just relistened to 120 and og Elias’ sass and eye jokes are definitely peek dark humor!

Trine Horsens

This was delightful and brought me joy.

Tama Connatser

Making Diamond a St Bernard makes the case lean sooo much further into Nina territory 😭

Tiffany Lane

Just got around to listening to this. I had forgotten that I actually cannot listen to these things with head phones as my raucous laughter unnerves everyone around me unless they can also hear the unhinged ramblings of Johnny and Alex.

mari

i am enjoying this podcast, thank you.

Just so you know, pacing is perfect. While I prefer the slow burn of tma, I like the timing of tmp a great bit. Might also be because I’m listening week by week. With it being more dense lets me chew on it longer instead of my glutinous consumption that was of tma.

Kunzite

Please drop the alchemy system as part of an arg. I missed the first arg. This would be so sick

That's a special right there, original Jonny endings! πŸ˜„ Also thank you Nico (&all the editors) for the AWESOME job you're doing!

Mother of Ferrets

Vocal Cut editor here! So Alex and Jonny record the casements by themselves (no producers/directors supervising them) - problem is, they both get super into what they're reading that they forget to go back to robotic voice. Especially Jonny. Jonny is an incredible actor, and the way some of the casements have ended in S1 have been gory and whatnot, and Jonny has done a stellar and heavily emotional ending. Poor lad meant that I would then have to get pickups where he has to redo the endings with no emotion whatsoever and all robot

Nico Vettese

I saw your username before I read the comment, and just knew you would have something super nice to say about the production team - thank you for your kind words Kristune πŸ™‚

Nico Vettese

I am enjoying this podcast Jonny!

Carleigh Warsing

Jonny wrote a great story for Outliers called "Strange Stars" about an alchemist. Loved that story- thanks Jonny!

Rose Bouch

Seconding what others are saying, I definitely would read the 60 pages of alchemy magical system at some point when it is no longer a spoiler. I am that sort of nerd who loves magic systems (and designs their own). PS: I am enjoying this podcast, thank you!

Ember

the The Sims approach

Pia K R

I am enjoying this podcast, thank you (I say this from under the bus)

KitCat3

I honestly marvel at the editors work every episode, both in vocal cuts and with sound design. it absolutely blows me away every single time its *so* good (that's not even counting the music, which is a whole other level)

Kristsune

Jonny kept saying 'guest writers' but all my brain would process was 'gastritis'

Cyanmoon1

I NEED ALEX'S NOTES LIKE OXYGEN

MarlaBothBothIsGood

I am enjoying this podcast, thank you.

Everyone’s bi for authorial convenience πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ (TMP scripture) (because there is a bible)

eleanor is fine

Needles is forever

josh

Neverrrrrr a McWeevil, plsssssss πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

DJ Badillo

Would still rather eat a McWeevil than drink Huel :D

RedDedZombie

I think im also with Jonny on Needles.. though, that means second favorite to Ink5oul to me. Amazing work as always- i could barely do my detail work I was laughing so hard!!

Alatus Dusted Beast

Please please please can you share Alex's notebook with us after Protocol finishes? Also would be really interested in seeing the prompts given to guest writers if that could be shared when it's no longer spoilering anything

Mother of Ferrets

Wow, I just came for a QnA, and now I’m under a bus and Alex is memeing, what happened?

RedDedZombie

I am enjoying this podcast thank you

Mosey Walker

I am enjoying this podcast, thank you.

"Live your sexy murder dream." - Alex 2025

Enya

I think in TMP 10: Saturday Night, after Gwen gives him the name in the envelope, after you hear him run out the door into the night you can hear a car being smashed and then its alarm start to go off. Also, following up on Jonny and Alex talking about inadvertent comedy in these series, right before this moment when Gwen frantically asks, "Can he READ?!" is such a primely comedic line. XD

DJ Badillo

I am enjoying this podcast, thank you✨️

Enya

When did Bonzo crush a car? Is that a thing I missed?

RedDedZombie

My chunky, creativity soup from the Hungry Man Grill πŸ˜‹

DJ Badillo

I still wanna know how hard/fun it was to go from monotone robot voices, to slowly blending it to be like how they were read in archives, back to robotic voices. I loved that bit, very fun :)

JustYourAverageTom

I am enjoying this podcast, thank you!

DJ Badillo

Nah I agree with Johnny, always commit to the bit

Rachel Kight Smith

I'm with Jonny on Needles. Sorry, Alex.
