And now here is the host of the Dead Authors Podcast, Mr. H.G. Wells. G. Welles.

0:23.0

Greetings all and welcome to Chapter 15 of the Dead Authors Podcast.

0:28.0

I am your host, H.G. Wells, and unlike your typical podcast host, I have the ability to travel through time.

0:35.0

Strike that, I've got a machine that travels through time. I merely sit in it as it does.

0:41.0

Apologies for the nitpick, but as scientists I think we can all agree that

visionary when it comes to the ways of the future. I've just always been a bit useless with my hands.
