by Spencer, Michael, and Craig
Hi there. The universe has once again prevented us from putting together a standard-issue episode, so in apology, here's a nice, relaxing string of pointless personal stories from your local grouchy old man podcast host. Don't worry - not a Wiggles cover in sight. Just pure relaxing atmosphere. Grab your favorite herbal tea and settle in for 20-odd minutes of wistful reminiscence. ----- Question? Suggestion? Unwarranted aggression? DM us on Twitter at @neverbettercast or send us an email at mailbox@neverbetter.show and we’ll react appropriately!
You've just... Oh, no. You've taken a wrong step, haven't you? You've slipped between the boundaries and ended up someplace new. Someplace dark. Welcome... to THE VOID. With Craig. Due to some unbelievable circumstances we'll get to on the next real episode, we don't have a proper show for you this week. In the meantime, please enjoy the first [and potentially last] episode of INTO THE VOID, a spinoff podcast in which Craig is given unprecedented freedom to speak his mind about any topic he pleases. Keep that in mind as you listen - he could have picked literally anything to talk about. ----- The opinions expressed on INTO THE VOID do not necessarily represent those held by any persons involved in the creation of the Never Better podcast. They might not even represent those held by Craig if you ask him again later. Also, any references to the thoughts, behaviors, or actions of any figures living or dead are purely parodical and without any substance, merit, or evidence. There's no point to suing us anyway. We don't have any money.
What? You're asking how we can dare to call this a bonus episode when it's taking the place of a regular episode despite being roughly 8% of the usual length? Easy: because we have no shame! Also, Spencer didn't think far enough ahead before heading out of town, so please enjoy an anecdote that we promised a week ago but didn't deliver. It might explain a few things. ----- Question? Suggestion? Unwarranted aggression? DM us on Twitter at @neverbettercast or send us an email at mailbox@neverbetter.show and we’ll react appropriately!
We messed up. Well, one of us messed up, and he's truly sorry. Another of us did everything perfectly and can only tell lies. As for the third one, brothers and sisters has he none, but that man's father is his father's son. Or is he? If you can solve this riddle, maybe you'll find where we've hidden Episode 13. You probably won't, though, because we had to ax it due to technical difficulties. Sorry about that. We're going to try in-person recording again this week, so relax - you'll be hearing from us soon enough. Probably sooner than you want.
Hi there. Spencer here. I don't like the fact that we've now released half as many "no episode" notices as we have actual episodes, so check this out: if Never Better doesn't have anything to release on January 10, I will tell you the most embarrassing story about myself that I can think of. How's that for a hook? Until then, as always, you can DM us with questions, articles, and/or discussion topics on Twitter at @neverbettercast or send us an email at mailbox@neverbetter.show, and if we like them enough, your submission might get featured on the show!
Don't worry, none of us have covid (yet) (as far as we know). Still, considering the state of the world we find ourselves in, we're taking a little extra time to figure out how to record this show without shouting directly into each other's mouths, noses, and eyes. We'll be back in proper form soon, and we'll keep you updated as we sort this out. Don't even sweat it. Until then, as always, you can DM us with questions, articles, and/or discussion topics on Twitter at @neverbettercast or send us an email at mailbox@neverbetter.show, and if you entertain us enough, your submission might get featured on a future episode!
