Hilariously, this episode starts with us saying the last episode was a mere two weeks ago–dear listener, our sincerest apologies. Also hilariously, the audio quality is dogwater.We’re back in the powerful arms of the Money Brother himself. In this installment, Mol’och is gatekeeping, gaslighting, and certainly girlbossing; Robert Langdon can’t take a dose of his own patronizing medicine; and Katherine masters offensive use of flip phones. Also, Forrest and Lina take a listener question! Follow the pod!@danbrowncodepod on Twitter/X@danbrowncode on InstagramFollow the hosts!Forrest: @giallobiafra on BlueSkyLina: @lina.jem on BlueSky and InstagramFair Use Disclaimer: Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act in 1976; Allowance is made for “Fair Use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.

On this Very Special Episode of the Dan Brown Code, Forrest and Lina are joined by longtime listener (and friend) Chris to discuss chapters 33-42 of The Lost Symbol. Robert Langdon revisits his Batman Origin story, the true finance bro-nature of our villain is revealed, and innuendos abound even in the Year of the Monk. Also, Chris absolutely schools Dan Brown (and us) on the various preservative liquids used in lab settings. Take that, Dan! Finally, we've created a new Instagram account intended to act as a companion to your listening experience.

(Recorded April 2020) We're back, baby! In this ancient episode from early pandemic days, Forrest and Lina explore the (pretty dull) rising action of The Lost Symbol. In this section, Robert Langdon is lost in the flashback sauce (as well as the Sub Basement Basement), Mal'Akh takes advantage of the fact that Katherine does not know her brother, and Dan Brown is bae and on fleek. Also, Forrest and Lina presciently complain about Elon Musk. Follow us on Twitter(?) @DanBrownCodePod.

Gone is Hot Girl Summer, and here to stay is Monk Girl Fall. In this rerecording of a Lost Episode of the Lost Symbol pick up just as things are getting exciting. In this section, Robert Langdon meets Edna Mode’s tether, our villain continues to allude vaguely to his motivations while being objectively attractive, and DB slips comfortably into his zone of tenuous historical connections. Also, we are treated to some of the best Sapphic tension of the 21st century.Stay safe out there, we love you.Follow us @DanBrownCodePod. Follow Lina at @LinaJemili and Forrest at @WishboneUlysses.

CW: Transphobia and racial slursIt’s summertime* let’s party**!!! Gone is the curse of Digital Fortress. In this episode, Forrest and Lina jump into The Lost Symbol. This book has everything: men in robes, secret societies, and sexy sexy villains. We’re back to describing women skin and running after our father figures. We’re making cryptic phone calls and dunking on college kids. Life is good. Also, we establish that this book is almost a frame-by-frame ripoff of National Treasure. *January**listen to an inconsistent podcastFollow us @DanBrownCodePod.

CW: Sexual assault, workplace sexual violence. This upload goes out to @chrisispoopin, an angel who deserves the return of his *favorite* podcast. In this episode, Forrest and Lina discuss the film Disclosure (1994), a film as old and as timeless as Lina herself. In a film that orbits wokeness without ever touching it, we find ourselves asking the difficult questions in this era of #MeToo; namely, what about the men? Also the VR sequence is the stuff of nightmares. Finally, we promise we recorded this episode before both Big Mouth and How Did This Get Made covered it. We’re back, baby. Follow us @DanBrownCodePod.

After yet another instance of technical sabotage from the NSA, who will stop at nothing to prevent us from revealing their secrets. Forrest and Lina return to the inescapable purgatory that is Digital Fortress. I wish I could tell you what happens in this episode, but unfortunately I read this section maybe 3 months ago and we recorded the episode maybe 1 month ago, so my brain has been hard at work at blocking out any memory of this godforsaken book. Just know that everyone of these supposed geniuses is a massive idiot, and Dan doesn’t really know what it means when a phrase or acronym is “short for” something else. Also good news: Despite Strathmore’s unbelievable creepiness, the NSA is still definitely good and privacy rights activists are definitely bad. Please enjoy the death rattle of Digital FARTress.
