Show Notes

1. Teletype sound inspired by Corporate Crime Reporter Morning Minute with Russel Mohkiber. It’s the Twenty-First Century and dude is still playing that teletype sound in the background of reports to make it sound like super-legit 1970s journalism. 

2. St. Gabriel Hospital in Parabellum City is not named after the archangel but after Gabriel Possenti of Our Lady of Sorrows, who will eventually be recognized as the patron saint of hand gunners if continued lobbying efforts pay off.

3. This episode was inspired by a real incident when a tv news anchor confused footage from two different developing stories about shootings in Knoxville, TN. “I forgot about the other shooting, so this is actually live, this is not our taped footage from Austin-East high school earlier.” Who can keep up?
