In a case on the wall, above a sign that reads “BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF HALLOWEEN”, hangs a scary axe. Another sign, below the axe, reads “FOR MURDERING”. A sign below that reads “OR DISCUSSING THE NETFLIX SHOWS OF MIKE FLANAGAN”. This one’s about horror. It’s about Calvinism. It’s about hate, and why they shouldn’t sell hate at Bunnings as architectural material. It’s about The Haunting of Hill House, partly why the show’s so bad, but overwhelmingly why the novel is untouchable. A fold in the continuum of sense. A thresher for reality. In lieu of special guests, who were scared away by proximity to greatness, Dunbayne reads an email from a listener.

005 - Right Now We're Always in a Situation
After a brief lapse, Dunbayne is running again, and wonders with the zeal of a new convert why we don't all run everywhere. To find the answer, he queries global warming, James Bond, parkour, Edmund Burke, and, alas, video games. We're also joined by estranged siblings Cameron and Daphne, whose parents have made an unexpected decision.

004 - Cyber System Overload
Intruder detected! Rogue AI has hacked the podcast and turned it into cyberslop, leaving Dunbayne puzzled about such topics as art, digital transcendence, simulated experience, touching grass, open worlds, and romance. Cheney joins us to discuss some of the pitfalls of technology, while Bea confronts us with an important reminder that women are lonely too.

003 - Sacred Animal Referendum
In an effort to go outside and touch grass, Dunbayne has been watching animal videos on his phone. In this episode he shares some of the best animal facts he’s learned, which leads to surprising reflections on dreaming, Jordan Peterson, fingers, Koko, Runescape, and the primordial ethical encounter. Airdrie drops in to talk about a formative childhood experience, while Catie shares some relationship advice.

002 - Paleolithic Deep State
It’s cold outside, and an innocent search for scalable content has led Dunbayne down the conspiracy iceberg, from MKUltra all the way to something called The Reality Schism. Along the way we consider frog embossure, critical thinking, the ultimate ground of knowledge, madness, vampires, and Jeffrey. We’re joined by Arnold, who has been fighting for pedestrians’ rights, and Caroline, who is passionate about telling the truth.

001 - Questing in the Age of Jobs
Dunbayne has recently taken up running, but inclement weather has him struggling to stay motivated. To keep in the groove, he enlists the help of exercise forums, The Backrooms, a 2011 BBC miniseries, psychiatry, persistence hunters, YHWH, John Locke, and consensus reality. We also hear from Anatoly, who is having trouble with his self-image, and Samara, who has recently returned to one of her old hobbies.
