Trivia / House to Astonish

Go To

  • Milestone Celebration: An extra-long 50th episode, created by not editing it at all. And an extra-long 100th episode which is just a round table discussion with special guests.
    • And a two hour 5th anniversary episode which was another discussion group and a crossover with the podcast Wait, What?
    • For the 200th episode they had cake and champagne, but it was otherwise a straight episode except that instead of recent comics, they reviewed Batman #200, House of Mystery vol 1 #200, The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #200 and Deadpool vol 4 #58 (which, according to Marvel's legacy numbering chart is actually vol 1 #200). They also pointed out that, between the various one-off things and The Lightning Round, none of which are numbered, the 200 is entirely meaningless, which is exactly how it should be.
  • Schedule Slip: Initially every two weeks except when it wasn't. It was on hold between July and October 2013 following Paul becoming a father, apart from a return to the round table discussion format (without Paul) for House to Astonish: The Shed of Ideas. A similar hiatus ran between June 2014 and March 2015, when Al was about to become a father, apart from a Clip Show of OHOTOH entries called "The Handbook Tapes". Following the return from the second hiatus, there is not regular schedule, but they anticipate it being closer to a month than a fortnight.
