This is officially the first “What could have been” Bumperpodcast of the year … You see – we were going to talk about kittens and squirrels – and then the big computer broke – and then the little computer wouldn’t accept the audio doo-hickey – and then I went and took a long bath.
I think that something was recorded … I am considering just making vinyl records of all of these and mailing them to listeners …. Or – writing everything out with ghost ink.
Have you ever made a vinyl record or written in ghost ink? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com – and maybe we’ll hire you.
You could live in a cave!!

About This Episode
In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar battles technical difficulties after recording what he claims was a phenomenal episode about kittens that was lost to corrupted audio. The recording sounded like garbled computer noises instead of his stories about kittens playing with rainbows and eating honey. After witnessing the magical performance, Robot, Reindeer, and others left depressed when the recording failed. Natty desperately troubleshoots by unplugging wires and switching computers, eventually recording on a laptop in his lap. He laments missing the chance to share his kitten and squirrel stories, joking about mobile podcast recording and police officers becoming unwitting stars of the show.
