Hey, everybody. Thanks for listening to this week's bonus content.

My intention right now when I turned on this microphone was to hopefully contextualize and

curate this interview that you're about to hear, but listening to it again, I realize that I am at a complete

loss. Really the only context that I can provide you all is the same context that I've been

trying to provide myself, which is I remember ingesting some experimental hallucinogens.

I remember wandering into Central Park.

And then I remember waking up next to a tree with some oddly specific negative emotions towards just Great Britain in general, I think.

And when I got home, I found this recording on my computer.

And that's really, I'm, that's all the context I'm willing to give, uh, myself. Um, so you can, you can make of it what you will.

We'll see you in a couple weeks for the next episode. Thanks for listening.

All right. So today we have the pleasure of talking via Skype with Wood Sprite and

beloved narrator of the once-in-future nerd, who goes by the name Ian Harkins in this realm.

Ian, good evening to you.

Good afternoon to you, too, Christian. And thanks for

making the time to talk to us. Oh, my pleasure. Before we get into anything deep, I just, I want to

clarify for our listeners who might not know this, that you are actually a real-life Wood Sprite.

Yes, that's correct.

And the reason that you can't join us in our studio is that you cannot leave the confines of your soundproof indoor arboretum, is that correct?

Yes, yes, it's a lovely room.

Sweet 16 present from my fairy godmother.

I use it for all my recording sessions, but sadly, us,

tree, sprites, lack of mobility lends the impression that we prefer to remain aloof from mortal affairs.
