It's a VSE (Very Special Episode) this week as we break from format to talk about the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit. Why? I dunno. It's 2020.

Well. It had to happen eventually. We brought Glen's nemesis Ben Youngerman onto the show as our dumb guest. Apparently we brought him up enough times that he invoked some kind of Beetlejuice rule where we had to let him on. He wanted to know about phonographs because he's an old timey time traveler who looks like what would happen if a Dick Dastardly Funko Pop got its wish to be a real boy. It's a good episode anyway. Glen explains exactly how phonographs work and also why Thomas Edison was such a piece of shit. We don't do people as topics because of the Vincent Price Rule, but Glen might record a special episode just shitting on Edison for an hour because for real that guy sucks so hard.

Hey! Starting today, we'll be posting NEW episodes on Tuesdays and CLASSIC episodes on Fridays. What better place to start than with Episode 1 - "Cardinals" This was our first go at improvising a Wikipedia entry, and we had such a good time we're still doing it. If you're wondering why we're doing this, it's a boring technical answer that has to do with the way we were hosting our files before switching to Anchor. Uploading nearly 100 episodes at once seemed like not the best solution, so we're adding them gradually, in order. In theory this will go on forever, because we'll be adding new episodes each week. Plus these episodes were recorded over two years ago, so even if you've heard every episode it might be fun to look back fondly on the old ones. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/improvisedwikipedia/support

We’re on a boooooooat (metaphorically) in this one. Apologies for the delay in episodes. We’ve been recording them but Glen has been slow to edit them because “the world is on fire” and he’s “sad”.
