<p>What happens to The Prisoner when you take Patrick McGoohan out of the equation? Has he used his power as auteur and leading man to create the scaffolding necessary to drive the show forward in his absence? Or does everything devolve into a form familiar for the era, where spies, ciphers, and sloppy kisses are the order of the day? Find out in the globe-trotting carnival that is DO NOT FORSAKE ME OH MY DARLING.</p> <p>Next time: ICE STATION ZEBRA</p> <p>---</p> <p><a href="http://the-prisoners-dilemma.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://the-prisoners-dilemma.com</a></p> <p>Music by Devin Nelson. <a href= "http://devindecibel.bandcamp.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://devindecibel.bandcamp.com</a></p> <p>Art by Si Sweetman. <a href="https://sifsweetman.carrd.co/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://sifsweetman.carrd.co/</a></p>

<p>Content warnings for lobotomies, aversion therapy</p> <p>I can't stand a podcast that doesn't know how to make a decent description. A lesson: The premise, rinsed out. Tease the plot, always. Now, the details: one for me, one for thee, one for the SEO, one for luck. Boiling interest, let stand for one moment - pour the milk, won't you? - cup, saucer, sugar, pour: A CHANGE OF MIND.</p> <p>Next time: DO NOT FORSAKE ME OH MY DARLING</p> <p>---</p> <p><a href="http://the-prisoners-dilemma.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://the-prisoners-dilemma.com</a></p> <p>Music by Devin Nelson. <a href= "http://devindecibel.bandcamp.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://devindecibel.bandcamp.com</a></p> <p>Art by Si Sweetman. <a href="https://sifsweetman.carrd.co/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://sifsweetman.carrd.co/</a></p>

<p>Someone's going to assassinate you! I know, it sounds crazy, but you must believe me! A stranger told me about it! Now, I know that doesn't sound super credible, but I had my hands on the bomb itself! What? No, I didn't do anything with the bomb. Why would I? Look, if you don't want to believe me, that's fine. After all .... IT'S YOUR FUNERAL.</p> <p>Next time: A CHANGE OF MIND.</p> <p><a href="http://the-prisoners-dilemma.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://the-prisoners-dilemma.com</a></p> <p>Music by Devin Nelson. <a href= "http://devindecibel.bandcamp.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://devindecibel.bandcamp.com</a></p> <p>Art by Si Sweetman. <a href="https://sifsweetman.carrd.co/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://sifsweetman.carrd.co/</a></p>
