What happened to Barty Bundle? Find out where Barty has been in our season finale and season two of Grack Public Access. Season Two? We'll need to answer some questions!

But don't worry, you! Parker, Tog, and Jen aren't taking much of a break at all and will be back before you know it!

In this episode:

With Tog on the road as an unofficial roadie for Hoobastank, producer "Jen deHaan" takes over co-hosting duties with Parker Spoon, broadcasting live from the Haunted Mines accompanied by a snappy search dog named Crewneck since they're broadcasting from where Barty Bundle disappeared not long ago.

This week we hear from Tog Chesterfield from the road, learn about Ghost Away (an exciting new product perfect for the Haunted Mines!), and answer a thoughtful question from our listeners about squirrels.

With Tog away touring with Hoobastank, producer "Jen deHaan" steps in to co-host with Parker Spoon from the back hallway near the washrooms of The Tennis Stop in Grackleton.

Surrounded by the pungent odour of urinal cakes, Parker develops a system for classifying bathroom visits ("watering" vs. "fig pudding") and attempts to recreate a childhood fantasy as the "Stardust Man" by throwing corn chips. Their discussion is interrupted when Parker tries to befriend but ends up angering a man in the washroom who we meet a few more times before the show's end.

In this episode, Tog and Parker are joined by a new "host on trial," Maureen Faucet-Clooder, recording from the Grackleton Community Centre lobby and uncomfortably close to the loud Corncake Bake-Off tie-bell.

Sponsored by the Litigious Lawyer Society, the hosts attempt to discuss the theme of "okra" while navigating Parker's traumatic childhood memories, Parker's attempt to steal a bowl of butter mints, and the news that a local radio host has gone missing in the haunted mines.

Midroll ad: Unf*ck Your Life: An Audio Drama

Unf*ck Your Life: An Audio Drama is an audio fiction series set in the fictional town of Grackleton. Tog Chesterfield shares how they got off of rock bottom through a series attempts at restarting life. You’ll hear their story, in addition to many voices from Grackleton. It is a comedy that explores themes of mental health. It has some mystery and intrigue too.

For their fourth episode, Tog and Parker record from the muddy shores of Lake Corncrop, sponsored by Wunder Wurst Kale Dogs.

Their attempt to tackle this week's theme "corporate jargon" is quickly derailed by Parker getting stuck in surprisingly warm magma-like mud, attempting to reclaim a spilled macchiato, and both hosts face a ritualistic attack by the lake's venomous bully geese.

Parker receives another call from his mother, and this episode features a brand new bumper made by their salty producer, Jen.

Tog and Parker record their third episode of Grack Public Access from the unsettlingly ornate parlor of Linda's Funeral Parlour. Their theme is "cakes," and their sponsor is "small brooms," and they receive a product demo by Jen deHaan.

Amidst Parker's accidental consumption of potpourri, continued anxiety about critical emails sent into the show about his appearances (one featuring a pork chop emoji), and the spooky atmosphere of the funeral home, they discuss local news from Grackleton. This week that includes the town's broken parking meter and the newly announced date for the corn cake bake-off, which Parker will unfortunately miss.

In memory of Tig

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Tig deHaan, a very good dog, who passed on June 16th 2025 at the age of 16. She was the inspiration for the name Tog Chesterfield, and the best companion I was so lucky to know and spend nearly every day with for the past 15 years.

What does neuroinclusive mean? It means that you create a supportive environment inclusive and accommodating of all cognitive types and abilities to learn, write together, or perform. This, just like the word "neurodiversity", includes both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals. Which is… you, since that covers everyone!

In this episode of Grack Public Access, hosts Tog and Parker head to Thick Raven Beak Park for their second show with a theme of soccer and the threat of mystery nearby. Parker endures getting covered in tree sap, a call from his overbearing mother, and an ill-advised dip in the park's lake.

They also touch upon local Grackleton's very important events and happenings, like the upcoming Corn Cake Bake-Off and the Alliston seed potato shortage. What a crop!

This episode was sponsored by Grackleton's favourite mayonnaise.
