January 01, 2020 Episode 95- Main Ingredient "Jen of Sedgeholme" and Processed Food
Happy New Year!

We're back from our little hiatus (holidays kinda kicked our butts) with a Main Ingredient story from Potcast regular James Silverstein!
Jen of Sedgeholme- One young girl gets chosen by her god to stop a war.
We chase that with a Processed Food segment that tears apart probability: the whale/petunias scene from Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Prompt #21 is now closed.
Now introducing Prompt #23- The dead offer you advice, though not always useful.

December 01, 2019 Episode 94- Stoke the Fire Prompt #21 and Processed Food
How is it December already?
Well, I hope it means you're hungry, because we have a light, delicious meal for you. We'll start with a pair of Stoke the Fire stories based on Prompt #21: You found a star that actually grants wishes!
"Sealed with a Kiss" by Christopher Michael
"WishStar" by Quinn Grey
And after that, we present you with a deconstructed and reconstructed monologue in our Processed Food segment. Dish Boy Theo reads the V speech from V for Vendetta, doing absolutely no justice to Hugo Weaving at all.

October 01, 2019 Episode 90- Main Ingredient- Father- and A Little Seasoning
Listeners, it is October 1, and have we got a story for you! We’ll start this month with an epic yet somewhat disturbing (there’s your warning) Main Ingredient story by Potcast friend James Silverstein. It’s been a long time since we had a massive cast like this, so let me start by thanking our guest vocal artists:
David Wendt, Kalila Roche, fox_magoo, Nobilis Reed, Doc Coleman, Keith Hughes, Austin Malone, Spence Spencer, Julayne Hughes, and the author himself, James Silverstein.
Father by James Silverstein
Wilbur’s career as an actor on propaganda TV show Father Knows Best seems to be going stagnant. But when sudden explosions and gunfire announce terrorists bursting into the studio, everything changes.
We follow the story with A Little Seasoning with Keith Hughes. As well as providing a voice for this episode’s Main Ingredient story, Keith is also the author of Timehunt: Borrowed Time and Timehunt: Stolen Time. He’s also a podcaster and all-around great friend of the Potcast.
Prompt 20 is now closed. Our new prompt is OPEN!
Prompt #22- You're stuck in traffic and the person next to you tells you to roll down your window.

September 01, 2019 Episode 88- Stoke the Fire Prompt 20, Processed Food, Mystery Meal
Lots of fun new stuff this episode! We are still getting used to actually being able to PAY WRITERS, so thanks again to our amazing Patreon backers (who are also getting this episode FOUR days early) for helping to make this possible!

So they get a head start hearing the two Stoke the Fire stories we have for Prompt #20- The forecast called for heavy snowstorms, but what's falling from the sky is NOT snow.

"Like Falling Snow" by Christopher Michael

"One Particulate Day" by Shannon Brodbeck

After that, Erin puts on her semi-dramatic chops for a Processed Food segment where we make a serious monologue from Requiem for a Dream much more absurd.

And finally, Theo reads a Mystery Meal YOU helped create, making Edgar Allen Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue even more confusing.

Oh, and by the way... NEW LOGO! Patrons helped fund that as well as our other new merchandise art (Butts on Trees and Do the Dhreuga) so special thanks again!
