"No respect for the sea, for the living things in it, for what's owed. They're fishing in the eel breeding grounds now, the fools."

Eeler's Choice is a maritime horror fantasy podcast set in Eskmouth, a small coastal town whose economy has lived and died on the hunting of the Great Eels for generations. As demand for product has increased, so have the catches... but even the generosity of the sea has its limits, and all debts must come due.

Releasing biweekly.

Welcome to Please Leave, home to stories that haunt. 

Ursula, an AI instructor from the future, encourages listeners to study the turbulent 2020s. Mixing speculative fiction and documentary, leading sci-fi authors bring us three futures that seem like fantasy: animals are people, capitalism is banned from outer space and humans and AI have become kin. We meet the writers who dream of these futures and the activists, scientists and thinkers who are turning fiction into fact.

Meet Cute Presents: Christmasuzannukkah Starring Amy Sedaris and Noah Galvin. Noah has never loved the holidays. Sure, he loves his family and their hodgepodge traditions (a little Hanukkah, a little Christmas, a lot he’s pretty sure his mom just made up whole cloth), but usually he just feels alone. His mom, Suzanne, is a well-known journalist who, come the holidays, is never not baking a cake or building a wreath or wrapping a present in an effort to avoid intimacy with her children. His sister, Sam, is always on some social justice crusade that makes him feel like a bad person. And he’s never gotten along with his brother and sister-in-law, who now only have eyes for their new baby.

Then Noah meets sexy Eric, who is in an open relationship. Noah better let go of his hang ups around polyamory real quick–or else this holiday season is doomed to be the loneliest one yet.
