Why does the host promote Factor meals at the start of the episode?
Hi there, it's Trev from the Acquisitions Department of the Ant Aquarium. Some acquisitions demand weeks of research. Others take me hundreds of miles from home. And after months of chasing down cursed heirlooms and questionable estate sales, I'll admit, my routine hasn't exactly been kind to me. Eating well is usually the first thing to disappear. That's one of the first reasons I use Factor. Factor makes chef-crafted, dietician-designed meals that are ready in just two minutes. So even when my schedule is completely out of control, I can still eat real food. With over 175 banned ingredients and more than 100 nutrient-dense menu options every week, it's one less thing I've got to think about. Personally, I've found it's made eating healthy a whole lot easier.
Give it a try. I really hope it's as life-changing for you as it has been for me. Trust me, I know what it's like. It's so tempting to be able to just go to that fast food restaurant and get that cheeseburger and fries because it's there and it's quick and it's cheap. Well, imagine that convenience and you're being healthy at the same time. Let's eat real.

You see, I spend a great deal of time surrounded by unusual stories of unusual objects. A very small handful linger long after they've ended. Recently, I had the pleasure of encountering one such tale. It's called Don't Tell Alice. From the co-creator of Welcome to Night Vale and serving as a sequel to Alice Isn't Dead, it follows Keisha as she once again finds herself traveling the strange highways and forgotten backroads of America. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something far larger, involving parallel worlds, family tragedy, and consequences that may extend well beyond a single reality. It is thoughtful, unsettling, and wonderfully strange in all the right ways. The sort of story that feels as though it was waiting for you just beyond the next exit.
It stars Jessica Nicole and features a beautiful score and sound design by Disparition. You'll find Don't Tell Alice on the Alice Isn't Dead feed, wherever you listen to podcasts, with ad-free episodes available a week early on Patreon. And if you do decide to visit those lonely roads for yourself, well, do be careful what you discover. And whatever you do, don't tell Alice. Hello again. I've often found that the things we invite into our homes receive far less scrutiny than the things we keep out. A new chair, a favorite painting, fresh linens, perfectly ordinary comforts. I present to you Lot 140, a down comforter accompanied by an unusually detailed chain of custody. This is The Lump. Before we begin, I want to point out some of the customers whose names have been etched in brass on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk.

The Lump On Gallows Hill, which overlooked Witches Valley, where the verdant whispering forest spanned the horizon, Delbert Denton lived alone in a modest house in a cul-de-sac called Snake Den Road. Delbert was a bachelor, never married, and seldom, if ever, dated. No woman except his mother had ever visited his home. Professionally single and good at it, he came and went as he pleased, working from home and answering to no one. except his difficult boss, who called once daily for a five to ten minute catch-up.
