EP5: On the origin of On The Origin Of Species
Listen now
Description
Ryan gaslights Charles Darwin about who really wrote On The Origin of Species and orders the scientist to give him a piggyback across town. PastMaster is the time-travel role-playing adventure show where Ryan, Keon and Tan explore a different era of history each episode with the help of our AI GameMaster. Under the acronym Ryland Mulchroneforth, Ryan heads to London during the Victorian Era where he bumps into eminent scientist Charles Darwin in a pub. Unable to resist taking credit for someone else’s work, Ryan browbeats the great man into accepting it is possible Ryan actually wrote On The Origin of Species before demanding Darwin give him a piggyback ride to the Royal Society. Just to make things more interesting Game Master this week is played by Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And oh yes, this week we must also never say the word ‘cheese’… Trust us, this will all make sense!
