| 0:00.0 | Day 9 of the Twilight Zone podcast Advent Calendar and our friend Al Sherdsmer writes in with another question. |
| 0:16.7 | He says, which hour long episode would most benefit by being half an hour, and which half-hour |
| 0:21.8 | would most benefit by being an hour? |
| 0:24.9 | So let's take this in stages. |
| 0:26.8 | Let's go with our hour-long that we think would benefit from being half an hour. |
| 0:32.3 | So I'll go first, and I think the answer is a very obvious one, the 30-fatham grave. |
| 0:40.9 | How dare you, so? |

| 1:29.4 | and he did a masterful job of it, and it really worked. |
| 1:33.2 | So 30 Fatham Grave, though, really needs it. |
| 1:37.0 | So what's your hour long? |
| 1:40.3 | Okay, I'm still annoyed, because as we know, I'm a big fan of 30 fathom grave and I would |
| 1:45.3 | make it longer frankly Tom. Oh my goodness. I know I just I just would have it like days |
| 1:51.5 | just days of them keeping going down and checking and nothing happening. I think the hour to half |
| 1:57.7 | hour is my first instinct when I read this was like most of them. |
