Interrupted Tales

When the devil drives he never pays for tolls! He also puts his bare feet up on the dash like a damned caveman, but that's neither here nor there. From a 1910 issue of Men's Railroad Magazine comes When the Devil Drives, the tale of a desperate father and his son riding the rails to greener pastures. With the devil, so it sounds like fun and they're going to stop for a lot of commemorative spoons. Check it out!

Well, will they? WILL THEY?! Find out in the most scientifically accurate article in the May, 1950 issue of Whisper magazine! Among the competition are articles titled "How to Wrestle an Alligator" and "Can Gals Get Any Nuder?" so scientific accuracy is a clear priority for the good folks at Whisper. Plus, the first (and only, given Alan's response!) appearance of America's hottest new game show, Cameo No You Didn't!

And we're back! Unless you just started listening in which case: Hey, we're still here! What story could possibly be thrilling enough to end our hiatus? Alien visitors attacking the earth? Doomed romance on the cliffs of Dover? Even better: Publishing! Join us for this tale about a literary agent who receives a mysterious manuscript that he believes will change the world. If he can get it published, that is. Can you handle the mystery that is "Author Unknown"?!

My, my, my - a new episode about someone breaking out of a barred cell?  Someone's just made it to the top of the suspect list.  Join us for a world-weary inmate who creates an invention so transparent that even the author couldn't see what it was.

Here it is, right on time and not four months after the Superbowl joke we make in this episode.  This time around, there's a girl, a chicken, a radiator, and a surprise narrator/ghost I guess.  Yes, we did leave in the five minute, story-halting explanation of "Living Next Door to Alice" song saga just because Alan wanted it.  Also, audio levels a little off at points in this one, sorry. Enjoy?

Happy Everything and join us for two tales in this special holiday episode! First, we travel to the convert the wild pagans away from the evil lure of Thor (but those abs!) in "A Legend of Saint Boniface". Then, it's a trip to jolly old England for the Dickensian "A Christmas Fairy". Whether it contains fairies is questionable, whether you will hear a parade of dodgy accents is not! Be excellent to each other and have a happy new year!

Stuck at home with nothing to do but listen to podcasts? You can still listen to our comedy/sci-fi audio drama series, Parasitecology! It's got aliens, spaceships, work happy hours of doom, trips to the supermarket, and a fugitive alien brain parasite named Cher. It's a whole lot of story in 14 episodes with each about 25 minutes long. Perfect for binging! To learn more about Parasitecology, visit our website https://ohthehumanity.com or search in any podcatcher. We've gotten some nice feedback and would love to hear from you after you hear from us.
