This will be the final podcast episode of Starlight Radio Dreams for the time being. The crew here at SRD are incredibly proud of the work we’ve done over the course of the pandemic. Since October 2020, it's been just Ansel, Jared, and Kat at the helm of the good ship SRD. Although we are no longer able to maintain our pace of production, we are deeply grateful to our Patreon backers and subscribers as well as the cast members, guests, and other artists who have been instrumental in keeping these radio dreams afloat.

It is tough to say goodbye. We leave you with the pluckiness of Sam Spruce, wondering what beautiful opportunities tomorrow will bring. Please keep your eyes on this space for more information about what comes next. In the meantime, Keep Laughing and Keep Dreaming.

For many outlets, the end of the year is a time to be bedecked with holly, evergreen, and the scent of baking spices. At SRD, we prefer to buck tradition and go to the alternate extreme. We’ve forbidden our host, Burlington Showtime, from mentioning any holiday for the duration. That means President’s Day, International Kiss a Puppy Day, and the Fourth of July are all off-limits. Can he make it? You’ll have to tune in to find out. On top of torturing a Hollywood Q-lister, we’re also bringing you a new, fantastical episode of Sam Spruce and all the murder, hauntings, folktales, and Christmas elves (don’t tell Burlington) you’ve come to expect from our madcap team.

It has been said the times are rarely precedented and this was just as true in the holiday season of 2021 as it is now. Was this bit originally aired in December. Yes. Is it still hilarious? Yes, again. Bet on it.

Once upon a time, a little wooden boy ventured out into the snowy wood. As should be no surprise to anyone, this works out poorly in the short term but well in the long term. How will he survive? What sorts of dangers and people will he meet? There, my friends, lies a story.

This is our final short from Cassandra Rose for a while. * Gasp! * We know. Shocking, right? We’re so thrilled for her and the company that had the good judgement to hire her for an amazing, time-consuming job. That said, it’s appropriate to have a revelation to present for you to whet your appetite for this piece.

It’s a very special day when you can buy a mattress or dining set from a founding father and, luckily for residents of the United States, that occasion comes around once each year. It’s no running of the bulls but as silly traditions go, this one fits.

This throwback recording is from all the way back in season three before professor pianist transformed back into Arne Parrott and became one of the hottest podcast soundtrack writers on the market. Find more of his work at atptunes.com.

Some stories are too good to be true but so good we’re willing to let go of verity in favor of our own happiness. These legends can take hold of the hearts of a nation, becoming part of the very fabric of its identity. Some of them are just bullshit though. We should probably do something about that.

Back when it was the fashion, we leaned hard into the Halloween season. That meant featuring characters from some of history’s favorite Halloween costume traditions: poltergeists, cryptids butterflies and Basil Rathbones aplenty! Not only that but we sent our host to a collection of carefully curated hells.

If you ever have questions about the afterlife, you’re in the right place. We have the best luck with ghost hunters managing to actually touch the other side or at least having the other side touch them. Sometimes, even paranormal investigators should be careful wat they wish for.
