  • Episode 127: "Mission to Civilize"

    We are a divided country.  We gain nothing from hatred and cruelty.  We can disagree intelligently, rationally, and respectfully, in hopes of finding answers to our shared problems.

  • Bonus Episode: A Bigger Table

    This is my Idealism realized completely for the first time.  It's a Thanksgiving story, but it's also about the world as I would like to see it.  It's a prequel to "Only Through Fire," which was a dark and horrifying example of the dangers of lies and ignorance.  "A Bigger Table" is a look at a world that is shaped by love and abundance.  It's a little girl's quest to bring everyone together.  It's the recognition of the fact that there is no Them; we are all Us.

    Spend 80 minutes in a world away from the Black Friday nonsense, tucked away in the woods more than 300 years ago. You'll find Joy here.

  • Episode 125: "The Power of Gratitude"

    The last 3 episodes have been dark.  For "Dimming The Light," I was in the hospital.  For "The Problem of Anger," I was explaining to my California landlord why yelling at me wasn't helpful.  "Unlocking The Gate" told the story of the horrible situation that WAS California.


    Tonight, I'm bringing us back into the light.  The reason I can even do this episode is because of all the people who helped me.  It's about feeling and expressing Gratitude to all those who make my life as good as it is.  I hope you will finish this episode glowing with just a tinge of happiness, instead of feeling sad about what happened.  And yes, I mention Valerie Bertinelli in this episode.  I promise the picture wasn't gratuitous.  

    Special thanks to Jenner Zeno for his extra efforts to improve this episode and get it to me over sketchy internet in time to post tonight.  

    I love you all.  You're the reason I get up in the morning.

  • Episode 124: "Unlocking The Gate - The Jenner Run"

    If you already heard this on Patreon, you might want to play this version, simply for the improved sound quality, the additional sound effects, and the improved voicing.  I had an exceptional sound engineer, Jenner Zeno, take a run at this, and his work is brilliant.


    This is as much of the California Story as I will ever tell.  Sunday was my birthday, and my present to myself was to get this finished, and out of me, so that I never have to think of it again.  


    For those who wondered what I meant by escaping from where I was living, this will explain.

  • Episode 123: The Problem of Anger

    This is the last thing I wrote in California.  It was written to my, for lack of a better term, landlord (although there was never a lease), although it's not addressed to him.  I was thinking of how little good it did him to yell at me so frequently.  If you ask him, he will tell you he never yelled at me until the last night when 3 movers and a friend of mine witnessed it.  


    Anger is not a solution.

  • Episode 119: The Blood Moon

    This may, or may not, be a true story.  It is, however, undoubtedly frightening.  


    This came to me from a friend who is choosing to remain anonymous.

  • Episode 118: Shocktober Part 1 - "Only Through Fire Anniversary Edition"

    This is a completely reimagined version of our classic theater piece from last Shocktober.  There could be no better way to open this year's celebration.

    Why were we taught to fear witches instead of the people who burned women alive?

    This is not for the faint of heart.

    Happy Shocktober!
