    Welcome back to the seventh episode of A Colossal Waste of Time, featuring Carl and Fraser.


    Join us as we read through all of Homestuck, where one reader is an expert and the other a newbie.


    In this page stretch, we cover some... climactic events in time, while also addressing the eccentricities of troll typing, and of course, boomer typing.


    Join us next time, as we cover pages 1653 - 1801!


    You can write into the podcast at (theapuk@gmail.com) - we look forward to what you have to share!

    Just as a warning - the next couple of episodes will be broken down a bit into multiple segments. We went... over time to say the least, and I have qualms with releasing 64kbps podcast quality.
