In the distant future, humanity will be annihilated by its greatest creation: a half-mad, living computer called… ILLUSIONOID!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"ILLUSIONOID!\"<\/a>Hidden on an abandoned moon post, a lone survivor sends cryptic messages backwards through time, desperate to warn of the deadly danger to come. Will you heed<\/strong> these warnings?<\/em><\/p>\n

Move a little closer to your Time Radios. That’s it: just like that. Good. For what you are about to hear may change the future… and ultimately spare Mankind from the monstrous menace of… Illusionoid.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Part Satellite of Love, part Twilight Zone<\/em>, and part An Evening at the Improv<\/em>, ILLUSIONOID<\/a> is a bi-weekly (fortnightly?) series of podcasts in which Paul Bates, Lee Smart and Nug Nahrgang take a strange, inspiring title and run with it for a few minutes of demented improv claiming to be a cautionary broadcast from the Last Man in the Universe. They solicit for titles on their Facebook page<\/a> and now, since they’ve just discovered my Pulp Sci-Fi Title-O-Tron<\/a>, they may be using that <\/em>for inspiration, too.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to hear what they make of something like Shadow of the Accountant of Doom<\/em> or The Astronomer That Misplaced the Galaxy.<\/em><\/p>\n

The language may not be entirely safe for work (depending on where<\/em> you work; sailors are probably going to be fine). But with that caveat, go forth to the Illusionoid<\/a> web site and sample tales like "Whither Saturn?" and "Time Goat". And if you happen to be in Toronto on Sunday evening there’s a live recording session<\/a> at Comedy Bar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
