As Conor is away at an undisclosed location and unable to 'cast, I thought it would be a good time to hear from one of the people affected by the production of this podcast; the one and only Bridget Nelson (also of RiffTrax, as it happens!)
We run down all the titles, getting her thoughts and feelings about me along the way, as well as bonus memories of her first taste of French cuisine, a Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait!
Conor and I will be back with the conclusion of Tru...

After a week of memes, we have picked some winners! There were a ton of hilarious ones to choose from, so this was very difficult. We are also introducing a new system going forward, we will have judge's picks as well as audience picks, which receive the most likes. So congrats to our three winners, the agreeing fight, cooler full of knicknacks, and Spike on the torture pole! Contact us at 372pages@gmail.com for your prize.

Hey, look at this! Lucas Antoniak, who designed the iconic Chuckette the Rig Cow, created a poster for our upcoming live show! Design/visual art is one thing that I am just plain NOT good at, so I am in awe of people like Lucas who, after ten minutes on the phone with me flailing about, saying things like "I dunno, make it look cool?" can come up with a rough draft on his lunch break that already looks great, and then f...

We've got a jam-packed penultimate Trucking Through Time episode! Curvy wives! Horny grandpas! Easily accessible caches of cowboy hats! A surprising amount of discussion about James A. Garfield assassin Charles Guiteau. And a reminder to wash any pre-owned buckskins you buy at the thrift store!
With only fifty pages left in Trucking Through Time, we have several questions: "How are they getting back to 2000 Atlanta?", sure. But also, "How many more meetings will take place in the genera...

Charles E. Harris went to talk to his editor but he didn't like what he saw so he took him to see them, the people who oversaw what he did, and he said that he wasn't so sure that what he did was up to the standards of what they wanted, even if he did, which he didn't. But they did. So then they agreed that they didn't care what they thought, it was up to him!

Gaze upon this artfully crafted meme of Chad and Dale agreeing with each other. Can you do better? Almost certainly! Now that we've got 3/4 of Trucking Through Time behind us, it's time for a meme contest. Use everything we've read so far, even this newest reading assignment. Our favorite gets a prize!

In between the General reading reports, Trucking Through Time manages to fit in some genuinely insane moments. Our heroes literally get to meet God, and it's the second craziest thing that happens. (The first is our favorite moment in all of literature.)
We'll listen in on some surreptitious recordings made by Harris' family, examine the GoodReads history of a guy who didn't care for TTT and cares for cookbooks even less, and of course, will see if Mike can separate fanfic from real Har...

Evidently the cool "Stereo" feature that the call-in show software provider made it exceedingly difficult to listen to on headphones for some of you. Here it is rendered in mono, which will hopefully be less confusing! We'll avoid that setting in the future!

Thanks to everyone who called in tonight! Was great to talk 64-Squares, Resident Evil novelizations, and put some voices to names. Here's the recording, sorry if we weren't able to take your call or if you couldn't get through, but we will do it again some time!

Alright, we just tested this call-in show system and we're good to go this evening! Here's how it will work. We'll go on air at 8PM Eastern time. You can call in to this number: 703-546-9551 Hopefully if that's a long distance / intl number for you there's a VOIP solution you can use...
It will ask you to record a brief message, who you are and what you want to discuss. It's that easy!
The system allows for a queue of five people, after that it'll give a...

Late on Friday afternoon, we finally hit the 400 supporter mark! We have an idea of something fun to do for you all to commemorate it, but while we work out the logistics of that, we just wanted to extend a hearty "Dammit boy, thank you!" to each and every one of you. It wouldn't be nearly as fun without your enthusiasm and support!

This week, Trucking Through Time gets a little.... sexy! If you thought groins were stirring and tightening in the mister, just wait til you see the effect Light Feather has on Chad! (He's not going to need his last name, if you know what we mean...)
Our occasional department of Amazon review guessing returns to inspect the history of, until we started this month, the sole Amazon reviewer of TTT. We've also got another bit of what one listener called "Baroque Nonsense" when we visit the...

Having trucked through time, our heroes Chad Hand and Dale Rhea (seriously) must now deal with the perils of life in the late 17th or early 18th century. This mainly involves taping things to sticks and feeding a young boy pork and beans.
We'll also get to meet approximately three dozen members of the Sioux tribe, some of whom manage to die before they're even introduced. We'll also meet members of the US army, introduced in an unconventional manner Harris employs known as "confusing th...

Load your cooler up with knickknacks, good buddy, we're in for a long haul! This is our first episode covering Charles E. Harris' "Trucking Through Time" and if the first two chapters are any indication it's going to be quite the journey!
We'll meet our heroes Chad and Dale, the comically mismatched duo who are more alike than many pairs of identical twins. They're headed to the Bay Area, with nothing to keep them company but a vast library of truck stop books, plastic bags to pee in an...

Well, it's no secret: we're reading Trucking Through Time next. It's available on amazon, as well as other online stores (post in the comments if you got it somewhere else.)
Don't think we need to do an entire intro ep about it, but we'll cover the first two chapters in our first discussion! Get reading!

As we wrap up our deep dive into EL James' "The Mister", we have a lot of questions. Well, one question really: What the hell?
But also: Why was absolutely nothing resolved? Why do Maxim and Alessia treat her father like his opinion should matter at all? How much were they paying that translator? Is that another half-finished hotel? Do automobiles actually qualify as a "fun theme"? Why is our hero thinking about his mother during sex? Tickety-boo????
We'll address some of these qu...

As mentioned on our newest episode, I didn't think any of the fanfic would fool Mike. This does NOT mean that it wasn't well written or funny! So I'm sharing it with you now. What do you think? Would any have tricked him?

This is now an all Bleriana, all the time podcast. Our favorite unseen character, who may or may not still be a sex slave when this book ends in fifty pages, makes another appearance, as Alessia finally recounts the story of her evil Betrothed and her journey to England. Despite her saying "I love you" dozens of times and being DTF no matter what recent trauma has happened, Maxim remains uncertain of their relationship's standing. We examine the possible causes of this idiocy.

Our second favorite trafficking victim does NOT show up in this section of The Mister, but other than that, it's jam packed. Anesthesia, post-trauma boning, and approximately 3/4 of a page of honest to god drama and tension!
Mike and Conor have been busy trying out recipes from the book, we'll hear details about Conor's Banoffee Pie and Mike will try some beef stew with prunes (Prunes?) live on the air. The 372 Pages Players make their dramatic return. We examine an Amazon reviewer's ot...

Quite frankly this queen of air and, if the title is accurate, darkness seems far more intriguing. Zot!
