The Big Quest Ion

We know you've been waiting a long time for the epic conclusion of the Bat of Balsamica! Thank you for sticking with us, this podcast is a labour of love and both Xander and Taylor have to balance this podcast with regular jobs and friends and families and marathons and bands and loved ones-- if we had it our way we'd get rid of all of 'em and do nothing but churn out eps for you, dear listener!!

But we digress. We know what you want. It's spooky season. You want nightmares. You want horror. You want the reeking stench of garlic seeping into every nostril you have (hopefully no more than two). So, where were we...

Billiam, Bertrand, Tabitha and the Zealot arrive at the one place they can stop Curtis Smith: the garlic district. But an unholy army awaits to thwart their last chance to save the city...
 
Riddles? Earth-shattering epic mayhem? SPLEENS?? It's all coming up on this episode of THE BIG QUEST ION!

What is The Big Quest Ion?

The Big Quest Ion is a deranged audio fever dream where two friends surrender the storytelling reins to AI and go galloping confidently into a fantasy cluster bang of epic proportions. This is a podcast where narrative whiplash is a feature, not a bug. What is AI’s impact on entertainment? Can AI write meaningful stories? Did two friends from different countries really need to start a whole podcast as an excuse just to hang out?

The Big Quest Ion is “Lord of the Rings” if Frodo ate ALL the mushrooms on the way to Mordor and map was AI generated. There’s no plan. No mercy. No going back. Just chaos, comedy, characters, and the relentless pursuit of answers to life’s great quest… ions. “Who are we?” Why are we?” “Did I take bath salts or am I just listening to “The Big Quest Ion?” We donno man, maybe both?

Buckle your britches and tune in for equal parts epic fantasy, parody, and existential experiment, as we embark on a satirical journey to uncover what makes a good story, what even IS art anyway, and everything in between on THE BIG QUEST ION!
