Thank you all SO much for listening and being a part of this crazy project! The Backseat Authors will return! Keep a weather-eye out for our next episode! It's going to be a fun one :) Cast: CJ voiced by: CJ Elliot voiced by: Elliot Joseph voiced by: Joseph Follow us @backseatauthors on Bluesky and Instagram Contact us at backseatauthors@gmail.com

Finally! This took so long to edit that you can disregard what I say at the end about how long it will take to edit the next episode. Probably longer than a week, but not longer than this one (I hope). Keep an eye on the Bluesky account for updates :) Cast: CJ voiced by: CJ Elliot voiced by: Elliot Joseph voiced by: Joseph Follow us @backseatauthors on Bluesky and Instagram Contact us at backseata...

Joseph here, yes I know that Book 47 is titled "The Resistance". I was SO tired when we recorded, as becomes immediately evident. Also don't do online gambling. This episode was recorded on January 20, 2026. The after-credits was recorded on the evening of January 24, 2026. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/144956/emma-lazarus-the-new-colossus Cast: CJ voiced by: CJ Elliot voiced by: Ellio...

Aircraft carrier facts! We're back at it again doing visual gags on the podcast! Elliot seemed to have a weird intermittent audio thing that we weren't able to catch until after recording. Sometimes that's just the way it is :/ Cast: CJ voiced by: CJ Elliot voiced by: Elliot Joseph voiced by: Joseph Follow us @backseatauthors on Bluesky and Instagram Contact us at backseatauthors@gmail.com

Joseph here, I have no idea why I was being so cagey about the name of the robot comic book I've been reading. It's called Atomic Robo and it's great. Anyway, we're back on schedule this week, and we're back with our sweet, sassy, real microphones and high quality sound. Enjoy our nonsense in the highest fidelity we have! https://www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo Cast: CJ voiced by: CJ Elliot voiced...

All the hosts, together at last! This one was a lot of fun to record. Joseph read the book on a train, and did most of the editing on another train!

So between last episode and this, Elliot got sick, CJ had to go on a work trip, and Joseph was just kind of vibing. It may sound like CJ recorded his audio in a hotel room on his phone and that's because he did! We were committed to getting an episode out this week! There was also a wonky audio problem for a few minutes toward the end, but luckily we were able to splice in a redundant OBS recordin...

The icebreaker is back! Get your Mason Mead merch here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/The-Sketchy-Guy/explore?page=1&sortOrder=recent Due to several factors, there's a good chance we won't be putting out an episode next week. Dont' worry, if that happens we'll be back after Thanksgiving! Cast: CJ voiced by: CJ Elliot voiced by: Elliot Joseph voiced by: Joseph Follow us @backseatauthors on B...

Joseph here, apologies for my roomy audio. I just moved to a new place and the podcast recording closet is no more. I’m working on a fix though, and I should be back next week crisp and clear. And yes, CJ does call Cassie Caffie at one point.

Joseph voiced by: Joseph I've actually never read this poem in its entirety before this. See y'all on Sunday with Episode 38!

CJ unintentionally made it sound like Cassie shot a cheetah in this book but that didn’t happen. Elliot also doesn’t think that middle-schoolers can read Hamlet. Joseph thinks this book had a message. Listen to hear more crazy takes!

Joseph is incredibly embarrassed that he was so combative in the act it out and that he's writing this in the third person. Cast: CJ voiced by: CJ Elliot voiced by: Elliot Joseph voiced by: Joseph Follow us @backseatauthors on Bluesky and Instagram Contact us at backseatauthors@gmail.com
