It’s a holiday miracle! We get to bring you a rare in-person recording as the wonderful Shannon Campe, host of Little Women: a Modern Audio Drama, helps us discuss the life of Louisa May Alcott! Plus, Jen Kolic joins us at the table to close out the year strong! Zach tries to get us to join a special commune, Shannon deploys some subtle sarcasm, Jen is coming for Germany, and Brian is strong right out of the gate.
(Brian’s dumb knee also occasionally knocks the table and can definitely be heard on the recording. He’s looking into getting new knees.)

Shine up your skeletons, boils and ghouls because it’s time for our annual Spooktacular! Jen Kolic (Jen Killic) returns for a special Halloween podcast to help us discuss the Smalls Lighthouse Incident/Tragedy. Zach gives Dracula some dialect coaching, Jen mourns the loss of her woodchipper, and Brian defends his lighthouse survival skills.
*NOTE* Eagle-eyed listeners will notice there was no episode 97! That’s because Brian accidentally put out two shows with the same episode number a while back. Welcome to episode 98!
Also, Brian and Jen have to share a mic this episode because Brian’s board finally died (big ups, board). You can help Brian get a new board by donating over at our Patreon page!
We’re on a brief sabbatical while Brian prepares to move and Zach finishes classes, so we bring you another episode of our old podcast with Pat Medaugh, the First World Privilege Hour! We discuss Die Hard this time around. We’ll be back in two weeks with our first SPOOKTACULAR episode of the year (we’ve still got two in store for you, so not to worry)!
