This story becomes a dinosaur musical?!? I am ready to see this on stage. "I love dumb science," says Chad. I know there are others who feel the same so, surely, the current head of the Kennedy Center will give it the okay to be performed there.

Jim Cannon

So, yes, of course more dinosaurs. You could finally tackle a Tarzan novel and do the one where he's in Pellucidar, or the Arthur Conan Doyle dinosaur book, or maybe there's some short story or other that has a prehistoric bird-lizard in it somewhere.

Anne Ominous

I relistened to this one a couple weeks ago because there wasn't enough level 10 absurdity in my life. I'm going back in!

Jason Thompson

I maintain this story is scary as hell! I’m not joking! Watching your friend degenerate into a cannibal who eventually eats you while making noises like “a drunken man trying to speak”! Sure maybe it’s also ridiculous but…..

Devin Morse

I listen to this episode at least twice a year. It changed my life.

Matthew Henry

Ah, memories. This episode was my introduction to HP Podcraft, years ago. Bonkers story, very funny commentary. I went on to listen to every podcast in your archive and still listen today (obvs). This episode still may be my favorite out of all of them, and definitely the one I would point people to if they wanted to see what the podcast was all about. Thanks for the many hours of entertainment over the years.

This episode was one of the things that first brought me closer to my now-husband as friends! We were the only people we knew who listened to this show, and occasionally we discussed it. After this dropped, we couldn't stop talking about the "bonkers elasmosaurus story" and how it was definitely the craziest thing you'd ever covered. (I now think "Day Of the Dragon" has it beat, but that episode came out a few years later.)

Jason Thompson

I also love that this story has one of my favorite structures: it seems pretty ridiculous for most of the run then takes a sharp dark turn at the end. Like the best jokes

Derek Scott

This is one of my favorite episodes! I totally forgot about it as well. Since there is such a large backlog of episodes, it’s so cool to be reminded of them now and then.

Alan Ricks

I thought I remembered how amazing this story was but I wasn’t prepared for how awesome it truly is. 10/10 story.

Dyche Mullins

Okay, so I was all settled in for this story to be a ho-hum, dino-human, brain-body swap. But then, at the 27 minute mark, when Chris said, "Guess what? You can go into the lake where we can't go, and you can swim around and explore things," I thought maybe this story was about to take the most awesome turn ever. Was this going to be the granddaddy of transhumanist sci-fi literature? The precursor to stories of human body modification for harsh environments? Stories like Cordwainer Smith's "Scanners Live in Vain" or Fredrick Pohl's "Man Plus"? More amazingly, were Dino-Edward and his human sidekick going to plumb the layers of hollow earth, like Vergil and Dante in The Inferno; only, instead of layers of divine punishment, peeling back layer after layer of cryptic Hyperborean, Lemurian, and Sleestak cultures? Would there be moments of awkward comedy, like when Dino-Edward runs into his body's former mate? A sweet but ultimately problematic sex scene? Would Edward's elasmosaurus body and human brain make him a badass warrior, like Conan, fighting and scheming his way through the hollow earth? Or would he become a more comic character, like Charles Emerson Winchester in MASH? A patrician snob in a plesiosaur body, whistling Bach, reading Thoreau, and looking down on all the other plesiosaurs? After exploring the hollow earth, Dino-Edward and his human sidekick, James, could travel down the waterways of America, solving mysteries and fighting injustice across the land. This story could have set up the greatest bunch sequels in all of fantastic literature. Could it even have been resurrected to become the greatest 80's-90's-era television show of them all? The only worthy successor to Manimal? Seriously, Chad and Chris, if you are contemplating another audio drama, a la Colossus of Ylourgne, please consider setting it in the world of the "Lake LaMetrie Chronicles" (TM).

Wow; last week, I wrote that I wasn’t keen on Dino stories… but this has changed my mind! Keep the brain-swapped dinos coming please!

Our old pal Brendan Gardiner

There had been speculation for decades that a story like this might one day be written, but it never had. And do you know why? Because no one tried to.

red_hook_dave

I listened to this with my son (he was around 8 at the time) and to this day says he won’t listen to podcasts with me anymore because of “the dinosaur brain show” he said it was too weird…….

Bret Kramer

I hope the HPLHS makes a 1950s style America International Pictures-like movie of this AND a commentary framing device involving a human host joined by legally distinct wisecracking robots.

Drasferatu

Wow, this story is even dumber the second time 🤣

James Anthony

Human brain transplanted into a dino body and no mention of the eternal classic Tammy and the T-Rex? For shame .lol

Thylacine

This is one of my favorite older episodes.
