   Episode 18: Maturation

   I... cannot begin to figure out a succinct way to summarize this episode, so let's just stick with the stories. This week, Burt and Yaretta cover the opening of a new mall on Uzara, the controversial Soyuz prison program, and the parliamentary crisis on Harrivalé.

   Episode 17: Reproduction

   Hi there everyone! It's been a bit hectic here on the Earth side of Cosmic Call production, but I think we've finally got our new workflow finalized and are ready to start reconstructing these episodes again! And, for our return episode, we're going to cover stories like... like... I don't even...

   Episode 16: Regeneration

   It's been a while, but this time it wasn't our fault! The original Cosmic Call had a break in broadcasting at this point, and we thought it would be best to recreate that break to put you in the mindset of the original audience. Yaretta's working on growing back her legs, and Burt's working on...

   Episode 15: Money

   We're back from an impromptu break! Sorry about that. anyway uh, Yaretta gave Burt a credit last episode, and I guess now he's the richest being in the cosmos? And uh... things just keep spiraling from there.

   Episode 14: Adult Content

   Burt finally becomes cognizant of the... unfortunate subtext that the show has taken on, and I for one couldn't be happier about it. Hopefully this show is a little cleaner from here on out! Stories include the visiting ambassador to Miniterra, the UFO reported in the Octavia System, the release…

   Episode 13: Memory Leak, Part 2

   It's apparently another slow news week in space, as Burt and Yaretta take this week to delve a bit more into Yaretta's past, at least as much as her drug-induced memory loss allows them to. Stories this week include the war between the Birb and the Allamat, and the Vrinrar Holiness Shacren's…

   Episode 12: Power

   Uh... boy. Not gonna lie, this episode made me uncomfortable enough while I was editing it that I don't really want to relisten to it to write this summary. I think they read a story about some kind of firebug or something? Uh.... yeah. Just, maybe uh, skip this one.

   Episode 11: Romance, Part 2

   Getting back to Cosmic Call proper, Burt's still real hung up about his relationship with Jeremy. Yaretta tries to give him some advice, but... you can imagine how that goes. I guess they're gonna start taking questions from other aliens and stuff next episode, so that's cool! Stories this week...

   Episode 10: Message From the Editors

   It's starting to come to our attention that there might be some misconceptions about Cosmic Call. You guys get that this is like, a real show, right? Like, we've released some 9 hours of actual, literal space aliens, and somehow we're not world famous yet. We find that... odd. So, Ashley and I,...

    Episode 6: Holes

    Y'know, when I agreed to take this editing contract I was not expecting these episodes to constantly be so scary. I mean beyond the vague existential horror of learning that we're not alone in the universe, y'know? Anyway, this week Burt, Yaretta and Jeremy deal with that... thing in their break...

    Episode 5: Evolution

    Y'know, maybe this is just me being terracentric, but as I cut these episodes together I can't help but feel a little concerned about the fact that Burt keeps getting smarter. Are rogue AIs a thing out in the galaxy? Maybe that's a dumb nonsense superstition that we've come up with as humans....

    Episode 4: Best of the Burt Sessions

    Apparently, Yaretta was still reeling from the psychological horror she underwent last episode, and was unable to participate in a new episode. So instead, Burt ran an archived episode. NASA's archives have all the episodes from this uh... "era" of the show, but we decided not to publish them…
