Story Hole

The video game Doom was released in 1993, and sparked protests, boycotts, a movie with Dwayne the Rock Johnson, and a very successful long-running franchise. But what's it about though? This week, we take a trip to hell and shoot some demon guts to explore the lore behind DOOM!

In life, the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away...but we just can't accept that sometimes... Like when the Lord took everyone's beloved mascot, The Noid, away from Domino's pizza. It's just not fair dammit! Throughout the last thirty years, Story Hole has been tracking down as much information on who he is, and why he disappeared. Finish your meat-lover's slice and pull up a chair, you're going to want to sit down for this one.  

If you were to list the most influential obese space slugs of all time, Jabba the Hutt would probably be at least number three or four on that list. This crowd favorite is a character that appears in the original Star Wars trilogy, and has played a role in the larger events of the Star Wars universe in often underhanded, shadowy ways. But who is he really? Where did he come from? What are his dark desires? This week, let's take a look at the lore behind Jabba the Hutt!

 Isaac Asimov is here to show you how to treat our emerging digital buddies. The catch is, robots are still learning... learning that being human is hard, podcast schedules are tricky, and the future isn't quite what we expected 80 years ago.

In celebration of our 69th episode, we get horny for Andrew Lloyd Webber once again. This time we're not looking into sexy personified Cats though, we're going for a ride on some sexy personified Trains. If you wanna hit the tracks with us, throw on some roller skates, stretch out those vocal chords, and say a prayer to Starlight Express. Maybe he'll answer your prayers with this week's Story Hole.

As a thank you for listening to our show, we got you this bouquet of flowers...Just kidding there's a squirt gun inside and you just got splashed! That's a classic clown prank.

Hey you dirty boys and girls, we've caught word that the world has been slanderous about some beloved, furry friends. We don't stand for that here at Story Hole! Today we have some stories to clear the air and tell you the facts about rats, and their role in the bubonic plague as well as the famous play, The Nutcracker. After presenting the real facts, you can finally decide how you feel about these little furballs, or in some cases, big furballs of multiple greasy bodies.

Well, looks like this is it for us. Last week in the woods. We've survived for three weeks so far and as long as we don't run into anything particularly scary, we should be good to make it out alive! Join us for our last squat around the ol' fire as we talk about how to grow your own Homunculus, the classic monster arcade game, DarkStalkers, and the personalities of those adorable little ghosts from Pac-Man!
