This week, on Dead Ends: A somewhat more human story than we usually do. It's the cautionary tale of one and a half million balloons that were meant to lift the city of Cleveland into the national spotlight- and ended up making a mess nobody wanted on their hands.

Dead Ends #9: Balloonfest '86

Hey, it's Jack here. Just letting y'all know that Dead Ends is both moving and slowing down a little.
First off, after a great first season on Comfort Zone, I'm moving the show over to my friends at @luminous-studios. Go follow them if you want to keep up, and thanks to @3dblast for letting me make this weird experimental show.

Second- I'm going back to college and I need to focus on classes, so I'm making one episode a month instead of two starting in September. They'll still be the same, hopefully. Thanks to everyone listening for all the support.
