Well gaba my entire gool because here comes another episode of VERSUS crashing through the gates of the estate and charging for the guest house. It's running. It's jumping. It's dodging security.

Due to recent allegations against the podcast, we find it necessary to take a moment here and use this space to make it clear that the podcast VERSUS and everyone associated therewith DO NOT CONDONE arson of any kind. Even though burning stuff with fire seems like it would be really cool and fun, it is not a forbidden delight that any of us partake…

Listen y'all: It's late, I've gotta go to bed, and I'm just plain out of juice. Can we pretend like I wrote something funny for the descriptive copy this week? Can we just envision a world in which I didn't entirely phone it in, and sat down to write something clever and worth your time? That would be super helpful for me. I promise to do better ne…

Awwwww lordy, it's happened again! Like snow tumbling down a mountain, VERSUS is picking up steam, gaining traction, and growing to a size so massive that it will easily destroy the small village at the end of its path.

This week, we're gonna try something new. We're pivoting to salads. Starting off with a trio of classic Caesar, a nice watermelon/mint/feta salad for the summer, and one with like roasted squash and arugula or whatever, probably like some pepitas that sounds good. I dunno man, podcasting is hard, we're feeling like salads might be more interesting …

It's the year 2022. A human being sits hunched over a mechanical computer keyboard, feverishly typing. He's trying to keep his right knee extended. He asked too much of it when he rode his bike from Manhattan to Queens to record his podcast last weekend—it's healing fine, but slowly. He sighs deeply. He's not a young man anymore. He feels young of …

Heaven is a house on a lake on a warm day where your only care in the world is looking after the ones you love.

Everybody knows the well-known phrase "VERSUS is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're gonna get." The first time we heard this was, of course, in the movie Forrest Gump, which begs the question: how did a nearly 30-year-old movie predict not just a podcast that wouldn't release its first episode until 2022, but predict all of podcast…

Shocking! Horrifying! Out-of-this-world! Adjectives! These are all words that have been used to describe VERSUS. Also "kinda gross sometimes" and "couldn't you guys just swear a little less?" Which...are fair. Fair criticisms. On this week's group-therapy session: the gang randomly explores different rungs of the gentry classes, meets a few Mister …

A shaft of light breaks through the ceiling and cuts the darkness below. A sturdy cord unravels through the hole and slaps against the floor of the chamber.

Dearest Listener, It has been ninety-and-one days since we embarked West on our podcasting journey.

The VERSUS gang is back with another saga for your earholes. This episode is bookended with murder so we may pivot to true crime after this.
