Ben remembers that they used to gift autographed copies of their show notes from The Life Report.

Mike Poteet came up with a contest: describe in 75 words or fewer the novel Tolkien and Lewis could have co-wrote.

The prize is an autographed copy of a The Lord of the Rings-themed devotional.

Matt's latest fundraising scheme: for $15 he will record an audio description of a Geek Grab Bag of the donor's choice.

29:42 We at The Sci-Fi Christian are against racism. Yes, and— Officially. We are pro-Christian though. Yeah. We're anti-other religions. Well, we're anti those religions, but we like the people in them. For the most part. Oh yeah, we love all people. Well. We love people! I don't know if we love Hitler.

Matt wonders how many episodes they'd be at if they had split the episodes all along. Arc

Ben says the schedule is to release two episodes a week, with special appearances by Daniel and "Kory". So, no more Listener Feedback shows.

Ben jokes that he'll just stop forwarding feedback to Matt. For now it's a joke.
