Bryan hopes presidential recognition of his new food additive will finally earn his father’s respect. But what has he really created? Written by Ralph Benton (http://www.ralphbenton.com) Narrated by Persephone Rose (https://twitter.com/MPersephoneRose) Edited by Duncan Muggleton (https://twitter.com/duncanmuggleton) With music by Blear Mooon (https://blearmoon.bandcamp.com/) and Thom Robson (https://www.thomrobsonmusic.com/) And sound effects provided by Freesound.org and Zapsplat.com The episode illustration was provided by Luke Spooner of Carrion House (https://carrionhouse.com/) Ralph Benton came to his senses after decades of wearing the golden handcuffs of a corporate drone. He fled the frozen peaks of Colorado for the muggy swamps of Florida. Now there is weirdness and mystery all around him, and he is much better for it. You can find his other work at ralphbenton.com. Persephone Rose plans to live long enough, with the help of cybernetic augmentations, to travel to the stars and make extraterrestrial friends.  When she isn't performing Satanic rituals, she scrapes by as a writer and voice actor of things that are not always for the faint of heart.
