EPISODE #9 of Parasitecology! In the brief calm before the coming storm that is the final run of episodes in Season 1, Javier and Cher join forces to figure out just how deep in it they are. Javier learns about the pleasant sounding Cabal of Violence and the secret history of Earth, Cher's homeworld, and selective breeding and Cher learns about the excitement that is a day at work as Javier digs up information about what the Personeum Corporation may be up to. Plus, a quick trip to the club for some quiet soul searching and conversation. Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Parasitecology is a darkly comic SF audiodrama about a suicidal nerd and his alien parasite best friend. For informational brochures like "Are You a Nerd?" and "What to Expect When You're Not Expecting an Alien Symbiote" write to Consumer Information, Pueblo, CO. Please note: While Parasitecology is a comedy, it incorporates the serious and, for us, highly personal topic of mental health, including dealing with anxiety, depression and suicide. If you or a loved one is at risk of self-harm, please: get help and call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. Parasitecology was created by Alan Gallauresi and Rob Trevino, who also created Interrupted Tales, a weekly podcast where one of them reads a vintage or pulp story while the other person constantly interrupts.   All of their podcasts can be found at https://ohthehumanity.com.
