Another update! At the top this time because it's important. This week's episode was late because we were waiting on our hosting service to pull our distribution from Spotify. We will no longer be distributing our episodes there due to our disagreement with Spotify's policies on generative AI and their choice of ad partners. If you'd like to know more, Austin Walker and Jack de Quidt from Friends at the Table explain it better than I ever could. I also hope this doesn't discourage anyone from continuing to listen! As alternatives to Spotify for podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and Podcast Addict all come recommended. This week, the Trigirls and Vash meet and get to know our first (alive) recurring character since episode one, the friendly yet mysterious itinerant priest Nicholas D. Wolfwood in "Murder Machine", "Quick Draw", and "Escape from Pain". In these episodes, Vash, Milly, and Meryl leave the sandsteamer behind, making their way across the desert by bus instead. There they encounter Wolfwood, who helps Vash fend off killer drones. Later, he and Vash compete in a quick draw tournament, before he and Milly help a young couple in distress. Meanwhile, the Trigirls have their first hater moment. Next week, we will be watching episodes 12-14, "Diablo", "Vash the Stampede", and "Little Arcadia".

The link to the transcript of the quiz show episode is now in that episode's description. More transcripts will be forthcoming and those links will be added to their respective episodes descriptions upon completion. For now, I've added a link to the transcript folder as a whole to our profile on RSS.com (our hosting site).It's come to my attention that Imgur is not available in the UK.
