We’re visiting a place called Bourton-on-the-Water (home of Brum!) and it has a model village, depicting the actual village… which means that the model village contains a model model village… which contains a model model model village… and so on down to the atomic level 😍🤯🤣

Few things in the world are as satisfying as imagining something and then it becomes a reality... thanks so much @cleric20.bsky.social for being an amazing co-Host and helping to make two whole seasons of our shambolic cyber show!! ❤️🦾
It's season finale time! 🦾😱😢

The Hosts close out season 2 by revisiting the Ghost In The Shell 2017 live action movie - has it aged like a fine cyber-wine, or rotted like illegal bioware? Find out by tuning in!

Hope you enjoy this 'from the vault' episode of Dark Natter, where Hosts In The Shell was born/grafted monstrously together!
Back in 2021, the Hosts met when @cleric20.bsky.social guested on @jonrichter.bsky.social's other podcast, Dark Natter, to discuss 1990 sci-fi horror extravaganza, Hardware 🤖💀

As a bonus episode, we've exhumed the recording so you can hear the birth of a cyberpunk partnership!!

I am the first and only person in the queue for the post office, which opens at 9. Currently experiencing a ln exactly 50/50 mix of immense smugness and concern that it doesn’t open on Fridays…
