THIS IS A PREVIEW. FOR THE FULL EPISODE, GO TO Patreon.com/worstofall Snake, it’s Colonel Copywriter. I’m responsible for writing the copy for every product in the world. Have you heard of a podcast called The Worst of All Possible Worlds? They do weekly case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire. And this week, they’re talking about YOU, Snake. Specifically, the Shadow Moses Incident. They’ve even brought on their good friend Manu (Podcast Sans Frontieres, NotACast) to gab about everything from The End of History to how close you come to smooching your clone-brother. The episodes are a lot of fun, Snake, even if they can get a bit irreverent from time to time. You should give it a listen. Also, you can pause the podcast at any time by pressing the pause button. Manu: Bluesky Podcast Sans Frontieres: A Metal Gear Solid analysis podcast. NotACast: is the one true chapter by chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week.
