Rish Outcast

Man, this episode's been a long time in coming.*  But better late than never, right?  Right? In this show I talk about the inspiration for and the release of my new book "A Mark on the Sky."  It's a Sci-Fi/Horror story with, you guessed it, an elderly main character.  Write what you know, eh? You can buy the text version at THIS LINK, and the audiobook version AT THIS LINK. Download the episode HERE. Support me on Patreon HERE. Here's a link to the That Gets My Goat episode where Big and I brainstormed ideas that eventually became this book: TGMG 131 Logo and cover art by Gino "The Ghost Who Walks" Moretto. Link to Old Man in TROLL 2 mentioned in the show. Link to Abigail Hilton interview mentioned in the show. Link to Naked Baby Photos. *I refer to events from 2016 as happening "almost a year ago."

So, we've come to the end of this Ben Parks adventure (a sidekick's journey, if you will).  But a journey into . . . what? Then I talk about Western movies, and how they're similar to my favorite genres of Horror and Sci-Fi.  ARE they similar? To download the episode directly, Right-Click HERE.

Among the crickets, I continue to present my Western story "A Sidekick's Journey." Ben Parks rides into danger with Lorelei Skruggs! In my opinion, this segment is the most significant portion of the story, and if I were a real writer, I'd address it considerably in the next book.    If you care to download the episode, just Right-Click HERE.

In this episode, I talk about finding someone's purse, someone's keys, and someone's breaking point. Unfortunately, I refer (extensively) to my story "Lost and Found" in this show.  I totally thought I had run that on the Outcast a year or two ago, but when I did a search for it, it didn't come up.  I sincerely apologize (and nearly decided to postpone this episode and just not have a show this week), but if you want to check it out, the text version is HERE and the audio version is HERE. Guess I know what story I'll do an episode for tonight. The next episode will be better, I promise.* Alright, download this sucker directly by Right-Clicking HERE.

Rish goes again to the family cabin. And cold follows. But what about werewolves? And chatty ravens? Go on and download the episode by Right-Clicking HERE. Go on and support me on Patreon HERE.

Here is the clearer of the three photos I took of the "werewolf tracks."  You be the judge.   Here is the big moth I took a picture of while talking about Poe.

Sorry about the delay on this, but I finally got around to seeing the final episode of "Downton Abbey" this week.  As you can imagine, it made me question all of my life choices. This is the second installment of my 2015 book "A Sidekick's Journey," the sequel to 2005's "Birth of a Sidekick," Outcast episodes 14-17.  Continuing the story, Ben Parks meets Lorelei Skruggs, an associate of the late Lean Rider, and quite an adventurer in her own right.  Perhaps together they can pick up the hero's mantle where he left it.

Rish presents the first installment of his 2015 book "A Sidekick's Journey," which is a sequel to 2005's "Birth of a Sidekick."  Ben Parks does his best to survive in 1890's Arizona without the Lean Rider by his side. This will go for multiple episodes (either four or five), and I hope people enjoy them. If you wanna donwload the episode directly, Right-Click HERE.

Remember that sketch called "The Little Talk?"  Well, here's another of its ilk . . . only more twisted.  It's about Emperor Caligula, and is hopefully educational, but definitely offensive. It's a free history lesson, as only a sicko like Rish Outfield can bring you. If you'd like to download this episode, Right-Click HERE. Note: The other episode like this one I couldn't name was "Sea Monkey Do."  Actually much closer than "The Little Talk."

Here's a short episode before the long ones start to drop. In this one, I talk about YA fiction (again), and the challenge of making teen dialogue sound authentic.  Oh, and the President (not that one) brings you an important Motown song warning in "No More Mister My Guy."

Note: "Awkward" is really hard to spell.  It actually looks more wrong after looking it up than it did before.
