In Episode 16, Colin Cheney is missing. He was last seen venturing to Puerto Rico in search of a major discovery at the Arecibo Observatory. Meanwhile, fearing his reoccurring Martian Aphasia might lead to his arrest, Donald Quist flees the United States and returns to Bangkok. From Thailand, Donald reflects on America's declaration of war with Mars and the executive order to detain any perceived followers of former Mars colonist, Captain Raymond Shepard. Donald discusses the growing sense of anxiety across the globe as uncertainty about alien invaders continues to aid the rise of demagogues. Sorting through abandoned audio from his last visit with Colin, Donald shares a recording of the pair riding through Boston, Massachusetts, on their way to meet a new sponsor for the podcast. Reminiscing on their work together, Donald ponders Colin's vanishing and if the podcast might be of greater significance than either of them could have imagined.

Episode 1: "A Way to Slow Time Down" w/ Kathy MacLeod
In this first episode, Colin and Donald speak with cartoonist and artist Kathy MacLeod about inventing the cartoon versions of herself, why she hasn’t sought out a community of fellow comic book artists in Bangkok, and how painting the sex-tourists of Soi Cowboy helped her clarify why she makes art in the first place.
The hosts discuss why they started the podcast, and Colin tries to make sense of "attitude adjustment" under Thailand's military rule. Donald also explains what he and the astronauts of Harbinger 1 have in common.
Written and Produced by Donald and Colin.
Edited and Mixed by Colin.
Music by Reports (https://reports.bandcamp.com/), courtesy of Martin Pavlinic.
Recorded at the Friese-Greene Club in Bangkok, Thailand.
Special thanks to Izotope (www.izotope.com) for audio editing software.
