Welcome to 'Momentus,' the podcast that takes you on a wild ride through a world of fantasy and satire! Join us as our characters explore a realm filled with Candyland-like gags and gumdrop goodies, while revisiting the romance and chivalry reminiscent of 'The Princess Bride.'
Packed with social commentary, Momentus pokes fun at all sides of the political spectrum without managing to overstep acceptable boundaries or take itself too seriously

MOMENTUS - A Tale of Toil and Triumph
MOMENTUS - Chapter 4 - the First Meeting of the Almost-Round-Table
As the ‘Grand” Prince Aiden and his horse Roger venture further on their odyssey, the Satisfied Land begins its recovery from the invasion. With the invaders captured and securely held in prison, the leaders of the Satisfied Land convene around the parliamentary table to determine their future and the fate of the princess.
The anxious young princess watches in despair and helplessness as she observes her country’s unconventional semi-democratic process. Decisions are made for the future of their country and her own fate, by frankly, a bunch of clueless crackpots.
And then life goes on, as Princess Ayla reminisces about her true love- the love story ended before it began - the fragile moment that changed everything- and realises that nobody cares.
