    We have a special guest with us this week, Andrew McKee of the Brobdingnagian Bards (aka the ones what done our theme song). He's here just in time to hear a story that's very... goose shit-centric, called "The Goose." There's no way around it, just strap in and get ready.

    Accelerated Tomfoolery, Meanwhile, This Goose, A Wallet You Can Ride, Hoard or Whores, Eye-bugging All Around, A Deed Most Fowl, Too Hot For Audacity, The Sweet, Antibacterial Rains of Northern Italy, Goose-Dick Crowbar, Wishbone Jr., The Tell-tale Honk, The Source of All Human Fetish

  • Episode 85: Known Pea-Sleepers

    You've heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood already, but have you heard the story of the gaslighting panther version? Or the version where a panther desperately wants to be the mother to two vicious little girls? We have, and it's this week's story, called "The Panther."

    Suggested talking points: A choose-your-own-adventure waterslide filled with human dregs, tamogatchy boy, panther pressure, the nicest harasser, panther grift, animal monster mash, jelly panther, the ol' turtle grind, snapper wounds, ancient night wedding, distinct finger bones

  • Episode 84: Rumpelstiltskinning a Stripclub for Horses

    We've got another listener-suggested story for you this week, called "The Firebird," and it's another Shakespeare-Professor-Authorized (TM) story, fresh off the presses from Russia. This is a Russian story that somehow does not feature a Vasilisa, so we're in uncharted territory.

    Suggested talking points: A+ in Streaking,Subsisting on Gold, Appliances Fueled by Goblin Magic, Lotto Couch, The Princess and the Pocket Change, Shiny Jingling Tree-Key, Centaur Muppet, “We Sleep Now, Human Woman,” Melanoma Bird, Bloodstained Trophy Woman, Cursed by a Wolf

    We have a listener-suggested story this week, carefully decoded from Scottish Brogue, though it didn't make a lot more sense once decoded. This week's story is "The Ballad of Tam Lin."

  • Episode 82: Bomb-Ass Cave Kids

    We skipped last week, so we kind of forgot how to do this. This episode is kind of a slow build, like a Lovecraft story or that Phil Collins song people seem to like. This week we're reading "The King Who Wanted to See Paradise."

    Suggested talking points: Cold open, 8 Seconds of Pretty Slow Drums, Simulated Skype Experience, The Plot of Rear Window, A Sixth Sense for Wrinkles, Skitchin’, Peeked in God’s Christmas Closet, X-Treme Prayer
