Making of The DUG DEEP PODCAST
“Hello, is this thing on?
Hey- I’m Marvin. Don’t know if anyone can hear me, but… don’t care. Finally got this stupid thing working. Anyone out there?
… I guess I’ll just… ya know… get this off my chest: my friends died. I… they were good friends, but death is common here. Nobody really cares, but… I do, and I guess I’d like to reach out to anyone out there who needs a friend.
… I played a cool game recently… seen plenty of movies… hear lots of good songs… I’m happy to talk about ‘em….
Um… not that I can ask you about what you’d want to hear about, heh…
Oh, I know what to talk about! If you’re out there and want to hear about it, take a seat, fine person. Know that I love you. Know that you’re awesome for listening in, and maybe we can each help each other feel less alone. I don’t know about you, but I’m old enough that my old man was one of the people who came to this new world. He says that’s why he named me ‘Marvin’, heh, his sense of humor. He used to tell me stories of the old world… used to talk about how the people in charge were killing the world, how them being in power was a terrible thing. All the people who weren’t in charge… they were left to rot and fight each other to survive, and most of them were stupid enough to do so. The only salvation for people was the Great Library, and everyone had access to the whole thing, and because of it people could call other people lazy for watching it too much all the time. Squabbles and fights over every little thing; life is simpler here; better. I gotta admit: life is good. So… thanks, old man.
Anyway, when our new overlords came, we brought our libraries with us, so now we’re all here, and we still have the Great Library, and everything in it, and life is good. It’s kinda cool looking at how the Old World used to look. Crazy it was, according to the Enrichment.”
