Magnus and Merle even get into a gruff-off with “Captain Captain Bane,” seeking to prove who has the most manly baritone voice. Instead, Magnus and Merle dive head-first into Goldcliff, a metropolitan city besieged by powerful magic. The episode feels a little light on Takko, so fans of the dim-witted wizard may feel let down. Magnus, Merle, and Takko, are tasked with tracking down the nature-controlling Gaia Sash. The McElroys serve up a perfectly balanced hour of storytelling, NPC interaction, and combat. The Agatha Christie-flavored Murder On The Rockport Limited storyline is done, and the podcast gives way to a brand new adventure. This is an opportune time to dive into The Adventure Zone, which is quickly sweeping other RPG-podcasts into obscurity. The Adventure Zone Petals To The Metal - Chapter One The episode touches on a number of other thought-provoking topics, especially that of how sustainability butts heads with emotionality, which may be the biggest factor holding society back. Lichtman goes to no-less a source on the matter than Cady Coleman, a NASA astronaut who, over her nearly six-month stay on the International Space Station, drank untold gallons of recycled sweat and urine from the ISS water-recovery system. What follows is a thought-provoking and in-depth discussion about the particular mores that affect the notion of recycled water being used for human consumption. Enter host Flora Lichtman to set the matter straight, as she so often does on this wonderfully frank yet fun podcast about the realities of climate change from a purely scientific perspective. So maybe it’s time for a new approach to the problem, but surely the one posed by a listener at the start of this episode is not the answer: A Waterworld-style idea, but with twice the schadenfreude.
