The original version of our first episode.

Wolf 359: "Succulent Rat-Killing Tar"

If you like our show, there's no way you won't also enjoy the intense space-conspiracies of Wolf 359. It's one of our favorite podcasts, made by some amazingly talented and kind individuals. There are a lot of similarities between our two shows, in tone and theme–if we are "the sad time podcast," Wolf is "the sad space podcast." So, as a 2016 Christmas gift for creator Gabriel Urbina, the aP team made this 100% faithful shot-for-shot (gender-swapped) remake of their first episode, Succulent Rat-Killing Tar.

And don't miss the ars PARADOXICA cast as the crew of the USS Hermes in Episode 47: Into the Depths!

Dan and Mischa sit around and talk about movies a lot. Especially time travel movies. Listen to them talk about the movies that inspired aP.
