Hi All, hope this post is okay, I wanted to introduce my labor of love to the sub. I’ve always loved history because it’s basically the story of us, our species throughout time. One of my favorite things to do is think of historical hypotheticals and imagine a different possible world, so I wrote a time traveling book series and converted it into an audio version. It’s called The Time Traveler’s Guide to NOT Getting Caught, and it’s about a self-centered 25-year-old guy who finds a time traveling watch behind a dumpster, and then he goes back in time and has the craziest, most selfish adventures you can imagine. In the story, he winds up facing several time traveling paradoxes, like when his future self comes back in time to hang out with him. The series is all about world building, as every time he travels to a new location, a new world is created, all while staying true to the time travel elements.
This isn’t your typical time traveling story, it’s like Drunk History meets Hot Tub Time Machine. In the first book, the time traveler goes back to colonial America where he accidentally almost kills a founding father, visits Ancient Athens in search of an epic orgy only to wind up kissing Socrates, and gets trapped on the Titanic as it hits an iceberg. He also meets Isaac Newton, Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, Davy Crockett, and many more.
The first book is already completely produced (which will have 19 episodes), with new episodes released Thursdays at 8. Books 2-4 are already written and in the process of being recorded, so there will be plenty of content. We made this podcast because we realized there’s a lot of miserable things happening in the world today, and we all could use a little more levity. There aren’t any ads, we just want to make people laugh.
I’d love for you to take a look and give feedback. You should be able to find it on most apps.
Thanks for your support!
