Ghost of Guy Fawkes Got Married?

But It Was Aliens

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we remember remember the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot as we probe the little-known truth behind the well-known life of one Guy ‘Guido’ Fawkes. Those little-known facts are basically that Guy may have become a ghost and continued to haunt the United Kingdom for centuries after Guy’s passing. That’s not all that Guy’s ghost has been up to though… Before we get there, we uncover the already established details of Guy’s life from Guy’s involvement in a war that didn’t involve him to Guy’s involvement in a plot that did involve him, but that Guy certainly wasn’t the ringleader of (as many believe today). Guy is well-known to have been tortured at the Tower of London but was Guy tortured so badly that his spirit remains there today? If Guy’s spirit does remain tethered to the United Kingdom, is Guy searching for afterlife love? Has Guy found it, in London? Guy was a sexy guy, after all. A sexy Guy with a taste for Brandy. All that and more on this week’s file.

Music created via Garageband. Additional music via: https://freepd.com - thank you most kindly good people. I’m sure he won’t be happy but we borrowed a tune from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton called The Room Where It Happens, which was created and performed by the Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton (via Atlantic Records). That just felt right when discussing the plotting of the Gunpowder Plot. We finished the show with the ‘Staff Roll’ otherwise known as the Credits Theme from 1990-1992’s Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo, composed by Hero of Sound Kōji Kondō.
