Appendix F: From the vaults! H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes F. Scott Fitzgerald (Andy Daly) and James Joyce (Sean Conroy) to the Dead Authors stage for an evening of whatever this is.

About 826:

826 National is a nonprofit organization that provides strategic leadership, administration, and other resources to ensure the success of its network of eight writing and tutoring centers. 826 centers offer a variety of inventive programs that provide under-resourced students, ages 6-18, with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills. We also aim to help teachers get their classes excited about writing. Our mission is based on the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success. Last year our tutoring centers — located in Ann Arbor, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC — served over 29,000 students.

0:00.0	This podcast is intended as entertainment for grown-ups and to spread awareness of 826 LA, a non-profit writing and tutoring center for children ages 6 to 18.
0:08.5	Visit 826LA.org for a full schedule of 826LA's events and programs, including the time travel
0:14.4	Mart, with locations in Echo Park and Mar Vista, California. And now a special
0:19.4	appearance by Iron Rand. This is famous philosopher and best-selling novelist Ina Rand speaking to you now from
0:30.4	the past because I died in 1982 and as an atheist and as a materialist I know
0:37.8	there are no such thing as ghosts and so I can only presume that some science is allowing this to happen that my voice is being
0:47.8	a bounce off of some space cloud into the future as in the Dennis Quaid movie I never could have seen?
0:56.5	Or else Mr. Jule Wern?
0:59.0	The host of this podcast has used his time-travelling
1:02.2	now to place a recording device into the box of Godiva chocolates
1:06.0	I am currently speaking into.
1:08.0	And then he will recover that box from the clutches of my dead hands. When he robs my grave years from now in the year
1:16.4	2014, it makes no productive difference to me. I live for life as it is lived today. The profit I may ring from it, and the stimulation
1:26.8	of the mind, and the pleasure of the jazz saxophone that is currently being played
1:32.0	by my friend Alan Greenspan and I will accept the money
1:36.1	being offered to me by Monsieur Wern for it costs me nothing to introduce the two despicable
1:42.1	authors you are about to hear,
1:43.9	F Scott Fitzgerald, who wrote that the rich are different than you and me,
1:50.8	which was essentially the same plot as my masterpiece at the
1:55.0	drug there but he did not do it in thousands of pages so he is lazy and
2:00.0	then there is the Irish mystic James Joyce who did write for thousands of pages, but mostly got
