Jim Crawford's podcast (THD) contains many clues. It is available on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy5JGFfB4yEmIajXWgD17Ag , and at http://trainhotdog.cool/ .


Rider Mail

Each episode generally contains a segment called "Rider Mail" where listeners can call or write in, either by phone at (469) BEARDS-4 or (469) CEASE-PI]. It is also possible to leave a rider mail by posting a youtube comment on a THD episode. Rider Mail may contain clues, but my also contain copious red herrings, because it is impossible to know whether or not an individual message was written as part of the ARG.

You just play the audio while the program is running and it automatically recognizes the format and decodes the image. This was most likely meant a Happy Thanksgiving message from the developers.

31 Krampusloaf id3v2 tag info for thd31.mp3:

COMM (Comments): ()[eng]: "We're in space, and space is the place," Began the Champ, pallid utterly; "The madness is running wild, and so shall you."

32 Blini Jim just says Blini for 2 minutes. He also tweeted "Train Hot Dog, with its most recent episode, has achieved 32-bit fidelity".
33 Bagophily
34 The Brown Devil Inside
35 No-Han Pics Suspiciously, Jim read from a page on the wiki that was created only days before the release of the podcast. There was only one reference found to any Bigger Luke theory before the ARG started.
36 Gunmetal and Tennis Balls
37 Top Ten Citrus Fruits The MP3 version contains a thumbnail of the Museum of Jurassic Technology's logo.
38 Odonym Missing on trainhotdog.cool. Only available on youtube.com
39 The Invisible World of Urine
40 GopherVr
41 The Noisy Organs
42 Ultem Glasses Airplane This episode title has an abnormally large number of anagrams. One of note, due to it's release proximity to the propaganda posters is "line up all art messages". As we have been unable to figure out how we should line up the art messages, this is generally considered to be a coincidence.
43 Desolate Clovis Jim talks about DST, which would seem to reference the camelCasing in the metadata of the Propaganda Posters
44 GDC March Dog The first of a monthly episode recorded by Jim, Justin and Rachel, on their drive to and from the 2016 Game Developer's Conference.
45 Poop Dreads The first in a run of episodes in which the G of Dog, the word 'episode' and number, and the first letter of the episode title, (P, in this case)are in a different font to the rest of the title card on Youtube). This lasts until episode 60.
46 Poison Oak Place Several audio glitches surrounding Jim saying the word 'oak'. In some, it sounds like it is being screamed, possibly by someone else.
47 GDC April Dog Appears as 'April GDC Dog' on the Youtube title card, meaning the A is in a different font, rather that the G.

61 Likes: Standing Up Against Tyranny From this episode, the unusual font changes that began in episode 45 have returned to normal.
62 Pineapple Hot Dog
63 The One Where Jim Doesn't Talk Hosted by Justin, rather than Jim. He reads out a list of events that occurred in 1901, tying into his recent references to this era. Many of the facts are inaccurate, including Abraham Lincoln being exhumed and becoming the first Cyborg, and Alfred Nobel inventing antimatter. Annie Taylor going over Niagara Falls in a barrel is also mentioned, which he also brought up in a previous podcast.
64 GDC August Dog
65 The Other One Where Jim Doesn't Talk This episode was recorded by user Terkim Fethrog, who sent it to Jim to upload. At the 6 minute mark there is a message in morse code that has been translated to; "Terkim Fethrog is with you. Stay Safe. Frog got your back." There are several incidents of backwards speech. When played reversedthey say "Let's keep this time loop" and "I wonder if I can escape this time loop".
