Oh man this was written in the crazy week of May. The
day before I’d been to Bern to do some zip-lines and stuff with Susan
and Hayley. That was fun. Six hours of climbing around the tops of
tall trees. All amidst the capital city of Switzerland. The day I
wrote this I’d gone to Germany (just over the border) to play
badminton. I sucked badly. Got my pale arse handed to me on all
accounts by everyone. Day after, I went to the climbing wall in Basel
with Susan and Hayley. This is context. I was genuinely at this point
having an awesome time. Very happy with the way life and things were
going.

Story wise in Cat & Cthulhu this really is the the peak of the story.
Yes, the next episode is the final issue of, “The Death of Cthulhu”
story arch. Nothing too major happening in terms of style hopefully.
Just attempting to build up the tension and set up the next issue.

Producer’s comment:

So what happens in this issue?
Cat explores a most alien landscape…

Author’s comment:
This episode of Cat & Cthulhu is directly influenced and ripping off
the H.P. Lovecraft story, “At the Mountains of Madness.”

My original intentions are kinda lost on this one. Next podcast should
be more interesting for the juicy info.

Author’s comment:
Well what can I really say about this issue? In some regards it is a
bridging episode enabling the action to move from Switzerland to the
next major location. In other ways it is an exploration of the real
powers that Marvin seems to possess. Of course the really important
thing is that I did ask my brother for permission to use him in this
issue.

The price really was the use of my copy of Knights of the Old
Republic. So I hope your grateful.

Producer’s comment:
Forgive the lateness of this issue but it was delayed by the event of my 22nd Birthday – which I spent at a Model Railway exhibition in Shipley, West Yorkshire.

For some reason the noise profile of my computer has changed slightly. Thus when I perform the noise removal proceedure some of my vocal frequencies are also removed despite my best efforts to correct this. Thus my voice sounds… like I’m talking over a mobile phone. Which is quite apt given that’s how much one is involved in this episode.

All issues from now on will hopefully be produced on my fiance’s very quiet Dell Vostro machine, with it’s nice microphone headset too. So hopefully the quality of the recordings will get better from now on. ^^

Cat and the Master discuss how come stuffed toys can talk and how they could possibly recover Cthulhu.

Author’s comment:
This issue is put into some context by this
blog post. The plot moves forward a bit for ‘The Death of Cthulhu’
story arch.

For this issue I knew I wanted to have this dialog at roughly this
point in the story arch but I didn’t know where. As the link above
explains I’d popped into the center of Basel to borrow a DVD from a
friend (who I might also have had a crush on) and also avoiding
EastEnders being on the tellybox. Not getting the DVD and having
really wanted to go into town anyway to think about this issue I hit
upon the idea whilst on the tram into the city that it could be set at
this fountain. Which, I really do like as a place and wish I’d spent
more time there in moments like the one just described.

So while I didn’t get the DVD I got the moment of tranquility needed
to write this issue.
Which I guess you can be happy for now.
I’ll just look back on that time spent sitting next to the fountain
drinking coffee as a rather short moment of my life filled with
contentment and optimism.

Producer’s comment:
I can’t think of anything in particular about producing this issue. Apart from that I recorded it while off work with an injured left ankle. Damn you soft tissue injury! At least it hasn’t affected my voice…
