Notes

• Craig's line referencing Podfest's sponsors SquareSpace and Audible within the text of the show was improvised.
• Paul F. Tompkins' character referenced a Beyond Belief running gag when he said "I would watch that show" about "Boat Police Academy."
• A video of this performance was available as a live-stream and for a month after Podfest to subscribers, but it is not currently posted publicly.
