Meet the Crew 2: Referencers Assemble!

[Oneiros]

And in the second part of checking in with the behind-the-scenes folks at Rusty Towers, we've let a few more faces out to indulge in the tea party cavalcade of Superfight! Old school historical, cultural and geeky references abound as downtown Manhattan throngs with a veritable zoo of a cast.

Joining Alex this week are:

Murray - editor of The Magnus Archives, comedian and improviser (@mrmurrayporter on Twitter)
Sam - resident musician who wrote our theme tunes, award-winning composer and orchestrator (Soundcloud site)
Anil - Community Manager, poet and freelance writer/editor (@godigumdrop on Twitter / Words Enough in Time)
Lottie - Business Manager, video games marketer (@broom_of_Doom on Twitter)

Hope you enjoyed these episodes showcasing the fantastic people who lurk off-microphone. Do let us know if you'd like to hear more of this sort of thing, playing games and shooting the breeze :-) Also, quick reminder that nominations are open for a few more days on the People's Podcast Awards!

I loved this episode. I already tweeted about it, but I I enjoyed it so much when Lottie made the Electric Eel Amish, and then when Anil realised it would have to be on rumschpringe. Absolutely brilliant.

Also, at the risk of losing more XP I feel I need to share here as well the misunderstanding of infinity displayed in this episode. If we posit an infinite number of sausages, that implies both infinite mass and infinite size, but does not imply any particular value for density. Collapse to a singularity requires infinite density - normally caused by gravitational collapse due to density that is already sufficiently high. For comparison, it is perfectly possible that the universe itself is both infinite in size and infinite in mass, and it hasn't yet collapsed to a singularity.

Good episode, may have been doing some research on samurai when mentioned, and so might know a bit more about the Bushido than before the episode. liked the fact that the episode was a bit 'quieter' than usual, just due to different people speaking.
Would love to see more of this if possible, just to have a different set of people and changing up the formula.

I still maintain that infinite sausage is a win condition.

Not on a family-friendly podcast, Alex

I agree with that. I just don't think it will destroy the universe. In fact, in my book, not destroying the universe makes it more of a win condition.
