The very handsome, famous physicist Dr. Brian Wecht raced down the corridors of the Vatican. "Hurry! The second episode of Leighton Night covering Dan Brown's Angels and Demons has to be around here somewhere!" His strong-willed, shorts-wearing companion Leighton, who was slender, was close behind him. "But what if we don't find it in time?" "My god," said Dr. Wecht as he looked back at her, his eyes blazing, "It's been right here all along!" The pair huddled around the etchings on the ground, written in a font so arcane, neither of them knew where to start. "Follow us on Twitter at @leightonnight and on Instagram/TikTok at @leighton_night. You can find Brian on Twitter/Instagram at @bwecht, and Leighton at @graylish (Twitter)/@buttchamps (Instagram)," the cipher read, "And if you don't want to hear us discuss how gross Dan Brown is about SA, you can skip the section from 26:12 to 41:31." Dr. Wecht shook his head. He couldn't believe a puzzle like this would say something so negative about his all-time favorite author, Dan Brown. Hosted on Acast.

The world renowned physicist Dr. Brian Wecht gazed down at the MP3 file in front of him, his piercing blue eyes full of wonder. "An episode of this podcast? About Dan Brown's 2000 thriller Angels and Demons?" His slender, also blue eyed sidekick, Leighton, smirked. "No, Dr. Wecht. TWO episodes of this show." Dr. Wecht chuckled to himself. A book club? The critically acclaimed podcast Leighton Night with Brian Wecht had never done anything like this before. Despite being an international sensation almost 24 years ago and having fallen into relative obscurity since, few people knew the truth about Dan Brown's fast-paced race-against-time through Rome: it absolutely sucks. "I can't believe they recorded nearly three hours of themselves screaming about how terrible this book is," Leighton marveled, her slender legs slenderly slendering, much like the little known internet cryptid Slenderman, "Nobody even asked for this!" But Dr. Wecht was no longer listening. He was too fixated on the strange text scrawled on the parchment in front of him. It made no sense. Surely it must be some kind of clue! His eyes raced to translate the devious cipher: "Follow us on Twitter at @leightonnight and on Instagram/TikTok at @leighton_night.

WE DID IT BABY!!! It's Leighton Night's deeply chaotic 200th episode recorded LIVE at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles, California on December 14th! Featuring special guests Jerik, Jerry Griffith (aka Jory Griffis), Rachel and Audrey Wecht, and ALPHARAD! Also featuring just... a horrible, truly unlistenable overuse of Brian's soundboard. I'm very sorry for letting this happen. Thank you to everyone who came to see us in person, it was legitimately an honor to meet you all. And thanks to the rest of you for enabling us through 200 full episodes of this show! You know, supposedly a podcast starts being good after 200 episodes, so... no promises. And that's a Leighton Night promise! SSCH and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!Follow us on Twitter at @leightonnight and on Instagram/TikTok at @leighton_night.

IT'S PART 2, BABY!!! And it's two WHOLE hours of content. More chaos, more clips. Featuring guests Tom Lum, Tom Cardy, Chris Grace, Rachel and Audrey Wecht, Vernon Shaw, and a lot of the inimitable Mr. Jory Griffis. Thank you to all our wonderful guests and wonderful listeners for another great year of this show! Here's to two hundred more! Episodes or years? YOU'LL FIND OUT.

Description: It's our first-ever WECHT FAMILY episode! Leighton's sick, so Rachel and Audrey step in to give Brian "the business". It's pretty chaotic but a lot of fun, and you'll get to hear Minecraft advice from one of the top experts in the field. It's a can't-miss opportunity for all you gamers out there! Also, this is the first episode we've ever done without an explicit language warning, so that's cool.You can get TICKETS for our LIVE SHOW on DECEMBER 14 with ALPHARAD here: https://www.squadup.com/events/leighton-nights.
