Destroy the Files

In this episode, we discuss Horror Conclave, a convention where authors of scary stories and creators of scary films will gather to build connections and take their craft to the next level. Kate's been thinking about flatworms lately, and Brent rambles a while about bears. The episode concludes with a short conversation about... let's call it fashion and never speak of it again.

Kate and Brent want to thank our One Listener (you!) for listening. We look forward to bringing you more pointless banter, trivial information, fake sponsors, sports recaps, and Awesome Guests in the very near future!

In this episode, we discuss Halloween and Christmas (with some juicy gossip about Santa’s time belt). Brent recaps the Packers’ historic win over the Texans. Kate lays out her entire counterfeiting operation in a stunning tell-all that I might cut from the episode. Brent gives a shout out to superstar digital artist Matt Wajek (LINK). But before any of that, there was a discussion about lampreys and how best to enjoy them on a breakfast plate. Some stuff about polar bears, I guess.  And everyone’s favorite holiday pal, Krampus. Kate wishes death on an listener’s elderly grandmother.

There’s a little talk about the future of the podcast. Mainly, Kate and Brent are taking a break to get some book writing did. They will be back in 2021, baby bird, don’t even trip.

Real Talk from Brent: My niece Jayna was tragically taken from us in 2018. It took some time, but her Memorial Foundation is up and running. If you had a few bucks you could spare, I promise they’ll be used to make the world a better place in Jayna’s name. She was a devoted Girl Scout, and making the world a better place was all she ever wanted to do. The Jayna Kelley Memorial Foundation is continuing that work, thanks to help from awesome people like you.

They talk about Edward Mordake, who inspired a song by Tom Waits.

Plus lots more!

Later, Kate yells at Brent for talking about ovipositors, even though he was referring to actual biological stuff, not weird sex toys.

In this episode, Kate and Brent are joined by kickass author Gina Ranalli. Oh, such adventures to be had! Brent bores listeners with his latest camping report.
