Listening to this a second time... it would be a great children's fantasy movie. It's giving me Jim Henson's Labyrinth and Dark Crystal vibes. (Your music overlay at the end added to this. Perfect combo.)
I read this earlier in the year as part of the Peter Babergal's Appendix N collection, and it had me chuckling all the way through. By the time they got to the 200 manservants running away sequentially, I was on the floor. Listening to the podcast I started thinking about it like a Bosch painting, where it's just a million really weird things happening, and mundane things like the order of events or logic just don't matter. Is there a link to the Dunsany chess article mentioned in the 'cast?
In one of Dunsany’s more unabashedly mythopoetic works, he has a supreme deity Māna-Yood-Sushāї whose dreams are reality and whose waking will signal the end of the world. Reminded me of Gaznak’s dreams.
