04 - "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman" (1966)

Originally recorded June 6, 2023

Harlan Ellison is a legendary name in the sci-fi world with numerous award winning novels and stories attributed to him. He is was also an author with a lot of baggage as a quick glance at his Wikipedia page can tell you. Sam and Jack read a very 1960s story about fighting against the Man and freeing society while musing on art done by not very nice people. You'll not waste any time listening to this one.
