PastMaster Season 2
Launches Monday 30 October
WELCOME! Hear ye and behold this week’s PastMaster newsletter! In season one we went on a whirlwind tour of history, taking in the Viking empire, Medieval England, Galilee, ancient Egypt and the Jurassic era (Roooooaaaarrrr!!!) We even went to Vienna to try and persuade a genocidal dictator to turn over a new leaf. The whole time sharing the company of our enthusiastic and helpful but often wayward AI GameMaster.
Twenty episodes later and season one has come to a close. But worry not, because season 2 is about to begin with a spooky Halloween special that drops on Monday 30 October.
This season’s episodes will include: a trip to the future – primarily to see if bars there are like the one in Star Wars, an attempt to discover how Stonehenge was constructed and even a trip to the Labour Party Conference at Blackpool in 1959 (I promise you, this one is more entertaining than it sounds). We’ll also be welcoming back rapper and comedian Nick Horseman into the hot seat again, along with fellow comedian and writer Tom GK as well as other special guests.
We’ll also be sharing more of our AI art on our TikTok and Instagram.
Stay tuned and buckle up for the next season of PastMaster. Where we’re going roads are bumpy and tarmac often hasn’t been invented yet.
