About This Episode
In Bumperpodcast episode 15, host Natty Bumpercar attempts to take live phone calls for the first time, but technical difficulties derail the plan when multiple phones start ringing simultaneously and no one answers. Natty expresses frustration that the preparation he thought had been done for the show hasn't actually happened. The chaos continues when Natty receives a blurry fax from a listener demanding he "cease and dismiss" the podcast. This short episode showcases the show's trademark improvisational humor and the lovable dysfunction of the Bumperpodcast crew as they struggle with basic technology.
