HELLO I AM HERE, MAGICALLY SUMMONED BY MENTION OF THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES.

Isn't it a fantastic season opening?

(And you've listened to the S5 trailer too, right? It contains Content.)

Oh yes. Yes. I have. Yes I did! Tea for Martin 😢

It took me probably 4 weeks to work up the emotional courage to start s5 because I knew it was going to hurt without knowing precisely how, and I was. Very correct. I truly truly do not understand how they have just continued to dial up every element I love to 11 and beyond.

Other things I'm obsessing over: the tape recorder is still running!!! And did I rewind six times for "of course I love you"? Maybe, maybe not.

162 is also....Quite The Episode mid-pandemic.

As various people commented, it says something about the state of the world when the cosmic horror podcast has to issue a disclaimer saying "In our defence, when we wrote it we did not know that our apocalyptic fearscape was going to be so close to home".
