4E (3)

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky

This episode has less chaos, but more dragon.

Candlekeep - Zikran's Zephyrean Tome, Part 3

Tony Sindelar with James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment

Edited by Erika Ensign.

We dive beneath the sea again with “K-19: The Widowmaker,” in which Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson star as… wait a second… Soviet naval officers? It’s a film about a horrible nuclear accident assembled from pieces of other submarine movies, as well as possibly several “Star Trek” movies, and we can’t decide if the screenplay or the casting is more of a problem. But finally we’ll get to the bottom of the real question: if most of the crewmen aren’t married, can K-19 really be a widowmaker?

"K-19: The Widowmaker"

Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Philip Michaels, Steven Schapansky, Brian Warren and Tony Sindelar

Who knew that the opposite of an Arena was an Enemy Mine?

Scott McNulty and Jason Snell

Old cars versus helicopters, karate and seppuku, a helpful anecdote from Higgins, and a kidnapped guy who’s such a jerk that nobody (except maybe his wife?) wants to see him again. We watch a broken-down old episode from a writer who would go on to do better things, because what else can we do? We’re on the executive board of the Anglo-Hawaiian Friendship Society, after all.

Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr

The chaos continues with a greedy rogue, a breath-holding Tortle carrying a Gnome, a swimming Centaur carrying no one, a generous Tiefling, and a totally ineffective dolphin.

Candlekeep - Zikran's Zephyrean Tome, Part 2

Tony Sindelar with James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment

Edited by Erika Ensign.

Steven and Erika brave the smoke and heat of Edmonton to bring you discussion of the bunkers and domes of Skaro!

4E (2)

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky

Listener Eric asks if vehicles are only motorized, and we ponder how small a thing can be before it’s not a vehicle anymore.

John Siracusa and Jason Snell

Live on stage at the Ohio Theatre in Madison, Indiana, it’s the Incomparable Radio Theater Live, with part two of the Adventures of Slim Skinner and the Cowhands of the Range!

This episode has everything: double entendres (or not), dinosaurs (or not), a little zeppelin (Led…or not), and more singing cowboys than you can shake a temptress at. Yes, she’s Frenchish.
