May 22, 2022 Season 6 Episode 9: Side Sessions Preview - The Dice Man
Krista is recuperating from her operation this week (she’s doing well!!!), so this week’s episode is a short Side Sessions preview that was released for Ko-Fi subscribers last November.
In 1971, George Cockcroft (under the pseudonym Luke Reinhart) released a novel called The Dice Man. This novel set the stage for “dice living” or making all of your decisions based on a roll of the dice.
In this episode, Kurt and Krista look at Rhinehart’s novel and the idea of living your life on the path of chance.
No taste-test or listener questions this week, but we will be back in two weeks with a new episode!

What followed the discovery of the body was a bizarre tale of mysterious phone calls, strange maps, letters buried in coffins, and ultimately, the deaths or strange disappearances of at least 5 people.
In this Skype episode, Krista and Kurt look into the death of Lora, and the bizarre circumstances that followed. Due to us not being together in person, there’s no taste-test. But there are listener questions.
