| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the Once and Future Nerd. Got a new episode for you today, as we've had on the last Sunday of every month for the last year and change, remarkably. But before that, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that there is no universe in which we could make that happen without the ongoing support of our patrons over at Patreon. So if you like this show and you like a consistent release schedule |
| 0:21.6 | and you have a few bucks you can afford to throw our away, please head over to patreon.com |
| 0:26.3 | slash once-in-feature nerd and check out some of the rewards you can get by becoming |
| 0:29.9 | a patron. You can hear episodes without commercial announcements like this one. You can read |
| 0:34.2 | full chapter scripts at the start of each chapter. download full chapter audio at the end of each chapter. |
| 0:39.8 | There's exclusive artwork and stickers and posters, and you can get a shout out by name at the start of an episode. |
| 0:46.1 | This month, I want to give exactly that kind of shout out to Nick L and Matt S. |
| 0:50.9 | Thank you both for your support. |
| 0:52.9 | Okay, that is all I've got today. I will talk to you again |
| 0:55.5 | on March 26th for our next episode. And in the meantime, enjoy this one. The Once and Future Nerd, Book 2, Myth Made Flesh |

| 1:54.5 | If you'll recall, the exiled queen and her court had just learned a far |
| 1:59.0 | a lot about their new surroundings, some of it through |
| 2:03.3 | clever deduction and the rest through some very direct albeit unpleasant channels. |
| 2:09.1 | We learn there's two gangs in this town, yeah? |
| 2:11.6 | The rosebuds and the mulberries, if I recall. |
| 2:15.7 | They're always at each other's throats and this town's barely holding it |
| 2:18.3 | together which makes me think they're the only two gangs in town because if there were more |
| 2:22.4 | there'd probably be more peace. Right. I'm sorry you're suggesting more gangs would keep the peace. |
| 2:30.3 | Aye, in a wretched sort of way they would all have their own wee fiefdoms, but none would be strong enough to rule alone. |
