Hi, this is John Ruffo•. Remember me? No? I'm an at-large criminal wanted by the U.S. Marshals for fraud and money laundering and I don't just like... I LOVE the Obscurigami podcast. Thomas and Ben's episode on me is particularly pointlessly educational, although I have to admit they're clueless as to my actual whereabouts. My favorite part remains the Random Wikipedia Article segment and I continue to be impressed by Matthew Flight's artwork. Definitely recommended listening for those long car rides avoiding law enforcement or for those late nights sleeping in uncomfortable underground bunkers! Thanks guys!
•This letter was received by the editors of this website in late November 2017. We have reason to believe it is not written by Ruffo. If the real Ruffo could please confirm our suspicions by writing to us with his address and a phone number where he can be reached, we would be happy to issue a correction. That email is info@obscurigami.com

Episode 8.
Once, when Thomas and Ben were sleeping in separate parts of the world, they awoke to discover that they had a shared dream. They imagined in the deep stages of REM that they hosted a podcast called Obscurigami, all about obscure things, and that there was once an obscure thing called OK Soda. They also dreamed about random Wikipedia articles, their website obscurigami.com, and their email address info@obscurigami.com. When they awoke, they discovered that the podcast of their dreams could be found on iTunes, Stitcher, and other Podcast Capturing Softwares, and also that Matthew Flight is a Real Artist. They also found a case of OK Soda in each of their respective refrigerators.
This is not a coincidence.

There once were two friends, with lives something lacking
Then late one night they decided on podcasting
Ben and Thomas was how they were named
and Obscurigami burst forth without shame
But soon their joy turned to sorrow
For they found they had to record on the morrow
“Alas for a topic!” cried Ben most sincere
As he munched on the chips and reached for the beer
“Never fear!” responded Thomas with patient guise
“I have inspiration! Now listen, be wise!
"Before you go storming your mind’s empty garrison
"Let me tell you about Benjamin Harrison.”
Ben’s eyes were aglow as Thomas waxed on eloquent
About this obscure President and his secretary’s elopement
“That’s brilliant!” cried Ben, “now what to do?”
“Here you go,” said Thomas, “a random Wikipedia article for you.”
So now my friends, this our show
May it bring peace to your heart and leave it aglow.
However, if not, be sure to complain
info@obscurigami.com, I hope that is plain
