Notes:

  • Episode 24 was the first Hypercritical episode to use Showbot, so there are no clouds from earlier episodes.

  • Episodes 30 and 31 also do not have any title suggestions since they were recorded by John Siracusa and Ryan Irelan when Dan Benjamin was absent.

  • Episode 44 had very few title suggestions (blame Thanksgiving!). It was commented on at the time in After Dark #61.

  • Episode 54 shows the title suggestions for the 5by5 Special “Kindacritical” even though that audio does not appear in the main feed.
