Episode 45 – The Root Cellar

INTO THE VOID Episode 5: BUILDING FOOD [feat. Spencer]

Welcome back to INTO THE VOID [all caps mandatory], the single-host stream-of-consciousness alternative to the Never Better Podcast, and a show that in its own right also never gets any better. This is what happens when the scheduling robot we use arranges for us to record on June 31st. This week, Spencer waxes poetic about teaching sabbaticals, Rhode Island-style diplomacy, postoffice cracksmanship, a trail of clews, and the importance of repairing the human machine. Plus, we mourn the plight of the hapless aeronaut.-----The opinions expressed on INTO THE VOID do not necessarily represent those held by any persons involved in the creation of the Never Better podcast. They might not even represent those held by Spencer if you ask him again later.

There's no point to suing us anyway. We don't have any money.

Episode 42 – A Year Of Varied Experiences

This is Never Better, a show that never gets any better. This week, in a shockingly Michaelless episode, Craig and Spencer discuss missed towing opportunities, doppelganger cheesecake, slapping a child, name revulsion, the world's weakest horoscope, and whether or not they also serve who buy and hold war bonds. Also, in a long-needed touch of highbrow culture, please enjoy a few seconds of opera and a brief poetry reading. ----- Question? Suggestion? Unwarranted aggression?
