MASTER LECTURE SERIES:
History of the 3rd Robot War

It’s the end of the world as we’ve never known it…

Master Lecture Series: History of the 3rd Robot War is a future history lecture so epic it will knock your digital socks off! In this satirical Audible Original that turns The Great Courses on its head, Professor Tirannous Rexavier Shepard guides you through the multiverse-shattering events of the war, from the opening "pyew pyews" through Le Battle Finale. Master Lecture Series pays homage to the sci-fi and fantasy genres with gut-busting (and circuit-bending) whimsy in only the way that Recent Cutbacks can.

Featuring Nick Abeel, Becky Baumwoll, Lauren Berst, David Carl, Darian Dauchan, Carey Hite, Lindsley Howard, Evan Maltby, Sonia Mena, Natalie Rich, Kyle Schaefer, Richard Sears, Regan Sims, & Matt Zambrano
Directed by Kristin McCarthy Parker
Creative Producer Lanie Zipoy
