  • The Hum - Nobody's Bones
    The first reports of the phenomenon known as "the hum" began to appear back in the 1970's. Fifty years later, all we can agree on is that it exists, and only some people hear it. Here's our Sinister Minutes take on things, and then a tone poem from Tim that you should all take a minute to listen to.

  • Homecoming - Cold Hard Cache

    Romance blooms amongst high schoolers in a tale called "Homecoming." It's a tale of patience, of waiting a whole year for just the right moment.


    Then it's on to dating in the modern world with a story called "Cold Hard Cache." Taking a date to dinner and a movie is so 20th century. Nowadays, there's ample opportunity to take a prospective partner exploring through all sorts of hidden places: some of them way out in the wide open spaces, others buried deep inside.

  • Changeling - Sleep - Pretty Bullet - Shadow People

    A whole bunch of goodies await in this episode!

    We kick off with the Changeling, bringing up ancient folktales about the Fey and what it's like to deal with them.

    Moving on from that, our brains need sleep in order to recharge and reboot. The story Sleep is all about the kinds of things that might happen when insomnia wins the battle.

    Pretty Bullet, the third tale, is a story of rapid-fire enlightenment: who has time for a lifetime of learning?

    Shadow People is a musical closing, a little something to keeps the mood going well after the podcast has ended.
