Backseat Authors

This is a long one! The next few weeks are pretty difficult for the three of us scheduling-wise, so we will be taking a short hiatus. Never fear! We will be back on October 19th with book 36: The Mutation!

I don't really know how Geoguessr works, but if you want to try and find the map I made it's called "Where's That Salad?" Sorry for doing a visual game in an audio medium :( If you want to skip past it, Where's That Salad wraps up (food pun intended) at 1:10:30.

Joseph did not get a dragon :( We play a long game early on in this episode. If you want to skip it, we pick the book back up at around the 34 minute mark. Sorry about the ad, Elliot kind of just wanted to see if Joseph would read it. Joseph does not agree with a single thing in it and was mainly curious if he could read it in one take.

In this week’s episodes we really dig deep into These Messages. If you’re seeing this episode released on time, know that it was recorded on a Thursday night, and edited frantically in three different states on Friday.

So I understand now that "closest without going over" should only apply to most games in the event of a tie.

The Andalites sure are chronicled. Apologies for Elliots audio! I had to remove so much noise from his A/C unit running, so he sounds like he’s inside a tin can when he talks. I did my best, but I’m no audio engineer. I do wear Sony MDR7506 headphones so that I feel like one though.

Watch out for the ad in this episode! I mixed it a little louder than usual (: Did K.A. Applegate write Face Off? Is Nicholas Cage/John Travolta her husband? We don't know!

Predictably, this episode is more off the rails and intense due to the content of this book. You have been warned. The thing that Elliot said to look up was, in fact, not a good thing to look up. I have saved you all from it.

The saga begins! We're so young and naive in this episode! 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

In this episode, CJ sounds like a sociopath when he explains how he plays Avalon, but I promise he’s not! (He manipulated me to say that.) Also, I think the movie Elliot was talking about is called Vivarium.

Yes, the Chernobyl accident took place in April 1986, not in the 60s as we insinuated. Also, the book Elliot was talking about toward the end of the episode is “All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals” by John Conway.
