In the epic conclusion of Chapter 1, “The Prince of Iorden,” the party descends deep into the seedy underbelly of Armstrungard in search of an infamous thief. But everyone involved may have taken on more than they bargained for.

The internet is good for nothing if not oversharing, and writers love nothing more than talking about themselves and hoping that other people find it interesting. With that in mind, we will periodically supplement your listening pleasure with snippets about the creative process that gets THE ONCE AND FUTURE NERD gets from our brains to your ear holes.
This week’s fact, which we hope you’ll find interesting, is this: Every chapter of THE ONCE AND FUTURE NERD starts as a television script with no narration, and is only later adapted to the audio play format that you hear. This was kind of out of our control at first, but now I’m really glad it’s turned out this way.
Hello listeners. Director here. Just wanted to take a brief moment to plug a book I contributed to – The De-Textbook, by the writers of Cracked.com. You can learn more about the book – and pre-order a copy! – here.
I don’t get any money or anything based on how this book sells, but if you like TOAFN, you’ll probably like the stuff Cracked puts out. I learned a lot of my genre-riffing tricks from them, and they have the best record of any internet comedy site I know for mocking victimizers rather than victims.
If you wanna read the piece I contributed to that made its way into the book, you can find that one here.
UPDATE: ENCORE PERFORMANCE ADDED. SEE BELOW.
