| Episode 209: i can be your angle... | 01 Mar 2024 | 01:23:29 | |
The world renowned physicist Dr. Brian Wecht gazed down at the MP3 file in front of him, his piercing blue eyes full of wonder. "An episode of this podcast? About Dan Brown's 2000 thriller Angels and Demons?" His slender, also blue eyed sidekick, Leighton, smirked. "No, Dr. Wecht. TWO episodes of this show." Dr. Wecht chuckled to himself. A book club? The critically acclaimed podcast Leighton Night with Brian Wecht had never done anything like this before. Despite being an international sensation almost 24 years ago and having fallen into relative obscurity since, few people knew the truth about Dan Brown's fast-paced race-against-time through Rome: it absolutely sucks. "I can't believe they recorded nearly three hours of themselves screaming about how terrible this book is," Leighton marveled, her slender legs slenderly slendering, much like the little known internet cryptid Slenderman, "Nobody even asked for this!" But Dr. Wecht was no longer listening. He was too fixated on the strange text scrawled on the parchment in front of him. It made no sense. Surely it must be some kind of clue! His eyes raced to translate the devious cipher: "Follow us on Twitter at @leightonnight and on Instagram/TikTok at @leighton_night.

| 291: I BWOKE MY BWOY | 17 Oct 2025 | 01:11:21 | |
Now, here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna press the play button on whichever platform you're listening to this thing on, be it Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or whatever the hell else, and you're gonna sit quietly and listen to this entire thing. You may hear some things you like; you may hear some things you don't. Depends on what you're into. Doesn't really matter to me. You would be amazed by how many of these are actually terrible. It's gonna take a minute to get through this thing, so I brought sandwiches-- I have turkey and I have a nice pimento cheese. You like pimento cheese? Right. You listen to this damn show, so it follows that you have bad taste. Now, when you're done, I highly suggest that you leave a review. Five stars. And then you're gonna go about your day like nothing happened. Do you understand? I wanna hear you say it. You're gonna go about your day like nothing happened. Good. Now shut up, get out of here, and stop wasting my time with questions we both know the answers to. patreon.com/leightonnight Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
