A very different time and political backdrop, but the way people talk about this as a psychedelic, collective experience reminds me of Blue Jam, Chris Morris’s deranged late-night ambient comedy show:

Are there enough Quidditch teams?

I can recommend The Further Adventures of Nick Danger as a decent introduction to Firesign Theater (It's on YouTube). A lot of the other stuff I've heard is chaotic to the point of confusion, but Nick Danger does have an actual story that resolves in the traditional way.

Damn. For a moment I read "sucker" instead of seeker. Self projection much?

From November 2024. I didn't mis-read the title but thought had several guesses about the subject matter. None of them were close. I wasn't deeply into Firesign but I loved what I heard.

"Seeker" to me means a fan, devotee or follower of the late great Ken Campbell.

I discovered, with some difficulty, that this was about some US (?) radio (?) show I've never heard and barely heard of and a couple of paragraphs later, I realised I did not care and stopped reading.

I do not like bits of writing that assume context and don't explain their referents. People who share that context are typically very annoyed by this and feel attacked when I point it out.

Ah well.

tldr: It is not about Harry Potter.
