- Chap62: Body in the Bayou, Part 2 [crime/suspense]
Clarence discusses a fundraiser for a fellow writer on Tiktok. Shaun goes into detail about his newest rap review podcast, co-hosted by James Shannon of Blare Radio. And the writers discuss the pitfalls of being a creator in the age of social media, and the constant war with algorithms.
At around 42:40, the latest Detective Jade tale continues in Part 2 of "Bodies in the Bayou." The plot thickens in this week's fully improvised tale as Jade and Detective Bailey uncover some more sinister, and perhaps satanic, elements of the murders around downtown New Orleans.

A RIDICULOUS AI SUMMARY: "Imagine walking the storied streets of New Orleans, where every shadow whispers tales of temptation and redemption. This week, we're peeling back the layers of this enigmatic city, following the footsteps of Detective Jade as he teeters on the brink of a life-altering decision. Haunted by the ghost of his past, Jade finds solace in the companionship of a stray pug and the echoes of his former life beckon him towards the badge he once wore with pride. But it’s not just Jade’s story that will pull you into the luminous glow of the neon lights; an ex-addict wrestling with the siren song of 'just one more' mirrors the city’s own struggle against the night.
Strap in as we ride shotgun with Detective Bailey, navigating the unpredictable and often humorous side of law enforcement. You're invited to witness a slice of life from the Big Easy that's as spicy and unexpected as a bowl of gumbo. From the quirkiness of a birthday suit-clad man in the swamp to the palpable pull of New Orleans' nightlife, this episode is a jambalaya of human complexity and the surreal moments that officers face beneath the Crescent City moon. So, pour yourself a drink (or don't, if you're fighting demons of your own), and let's take a detour into the lives of those who patrol the fine line between duty and desire."Support the show

Clarence gets a story accepted to one of his favorite horror podcasts, and talks about his new children's book, The Pie Eating Contest (out now!) Shaun has a new western rap out and has recently rejoined TikTok!
At around 29:35, the writers improvise a brand new horror story featuring the Androscoggin Scrog monster. A young woman preparing for an open mic rescues a man with a blue gem from the Androscoggin river. She soon finds the gem holds powers beyond her wildest dreams, but there may still be others that want it...

"Saddle up for a heart-stopping ride into the dark corners of the illegal gambling world with Pearl, our resident pool hustler whose knack for the game lands her in a heap of trouble. When a high-stakes loss leaves her ducking and diving from vindictive pool sharks, salvation comes from a shadowy benefactor with enigmatic motives. This episode stitches together a narrative rife with desperate gambits, supernatural patrons, and the gritty truth that every choice has its price. Exposing the underbelly of a world where debts are settled in more than just currency, we invite you to experience a story where the supernatural mingles with the spin of the cue ball.
As Pearl dodges danger at every turn, she stumbles upon Timothy Buble who's tangled up with a dark figure in a soul-swapping bind that pulls Pearl into a chilling game of predator and prey. We'll unwrap the layers of this otherworldly standoff, exploring what it means to dance with the devil and walk away defiant. Witness the intense collision of courage and corruption in an episode that promises to leave you questioning the very nature of fate and free will. With stakes this high, every player is all in. Join us to see if Pearl can break free or if she's destined to be another pawn in this treacherous game."Support the show
