Review - Teleportation Device Sep 14, 2020

This is Januae's review of the teleportation device. Until the review gets away from him. This episode is not explicit. Written, produced, and performed by David S. Dear David is an Audible Approved Producer produces and performs in numerous audiobooks as well as the audio drama A Ninth World Journal and performs in several other audio dramas. http://ninthworldjournal.com TRANSCRIPT I am Januae, and this is my review of the teleportation device.

I cannot give it a favorable review, as it is only good for one use.

Perhaps my negative review should be for the Veilwardens and the Ustiliator that caused me to jaunt randomly. The ritual they performed on me made things worse.

In fact, I would give jaunting randomly a very unfavorable review. It is dangerous and unpredictable. I do not recommend it.

Jaunting randomly: I give it one star.

SALLY Hey Hedge,

NARRATOR Sally said,

SALLY (CONT'D) How can I get a membership at this gym?

HEDGE Can you bench press over 50 pounds?

SALLY Can I?

ALICE I call it purring, not growling. CAT Call it what you like. Do you play croquet with the Queen to-day? ALICE I should like it very much, but I haven’t been invited yet. CAT You’ll see me there then. (vanishes, sound effect) ALICE (not very surprised) Oh.

It felt as though something was scritch-scratching away upon my eardrum like a pen upon paper. I tried to clear it, but the sensation would not cease. The longer it continued, the more I was certain that some living thing was burrowing into me, scritch-scratching away at my flesh and my sanity. The doctor who checked said my inner ear is inflamed, but clear. No foreign object, no thing, is there. I should be reassured. The prickling has subsided to no more than an occasional flicker of a whisper. I twitch now and then. The dreams, though. What do I do about the dreams? The damp earth between my sheets? The soil between my teeth? Sorry, what was I saying? Oh, I remember now. Yes. I was just asking: Would you like to see my garden?

So we go to Massachusetts and I turn up first pretending to be her friend Charlie from Austin. Which is a really stupid idea, because I can’t do an Austin accent to save my life.

MINDY, ARRIVING AT HER FOLKS Is he already here? What do you think about him?

MADONNA SPECTACLE Meanwhile, her mom has been so convinced by my straight-dude charms, combined with a glass or two too much, she’s decided to come on to me by locking the both of us in a broom closet.

MINDY, ARRIVING AT HER FOLKS Dad – where’s mom and Maddy – I mean, Charlie?

MADONNA SPECTACLE I escape in the nick of time, Mindy’s dad catches her calling me “Maddy”, and the cat’s finally out of the bag. Mindy’s mom is ticked off, but we put her to bed. Mindy’s dad really likes me. That night, in the bedroom, Madonna Spectacle does a private rendition of “Crazy For You”, only for Mindy, the most special person in my whole entire life.

MADONNA SPECTACLE Should I fulfill the wish of a dying woman? Or let the old hag rot in her own bad conscience?

DOLLY, DYING Don’t you love me too?

Strange Eggs - Chicken Jun 22, 2020

Chickens lay strange eggs. This episode is not explicit. Story by PRRP, Music by Mx Michael https://www.patreon.com/freckle TRANSCRIPT Chickens lay edible eggs.

Okay get this. Chickens are basically tiny modern dinosaurs, that another species subsists off of for almost every single meal. They’ll use chicken eggs for Cakes, for Quiche, or even just eat them plain! They’ll cook them through, or eat them raw if they’re boxing, they show no restraint. In fact, this other species, who says not to inject too personal of details into a facts-based podcast, even have basically ENSLAVED the chicken, due to its perceived evolutionary treat. How’s that for facts, huh? Is THAT too personal? You want more egg facts now? Hey, maybe Chickens don’t lay strange eggs, maybe YOU are just over reliant on your GLUTTONY and DOMINANCE to ever consider an alternative. There, now you have a complete whole dozen eggs to choose from, you can just scarf ‘em down. Eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs!!!

Humans eat strange eggs. Music by Mx Michael

For the last hundred years, many people in South Korea have believed that leaving a fan on overnight will kill you in your sleep, either by suffocating you or freezing you. While the exact origin of the belief is unclear, suspicion has fallen on the SK government starting the rumor during the 70s energy crisis to get people to use less electricity.

Oh, I’ve gotta go, Anikah. I see some tourists coming up to my produce stand. I’ll talk to you soon.

Yesterday a tourist off the Queen of the Gulls stopped me on Main Street and asked about a public restroom.

Really? What’d you say?

"Well," I said. "You can always use the one in George's Antiques Shop.” I pointed across the street to the ramshackle little shop and the woman turned to go. "Oh, and by the way," I shouted to her, "George sometimes likes to hide behind the giant Oosik bones when he sees someone he doesn't know."

Oh, George and his oosiks!

"Oosik?" she asked. "Yeah. Walrus penis bones. He has quite a collection behind the obituaries and the handcuffs and the… You know what? Never mind. You’ll be fine."

Did she go in?

About ten minutes later, I saw that same tourist, coming out of the woods buttoning up her jeans.

She just went in the woods?

What’s up with that?

Three-fer Assasination Jun 01, 2020

Seward was almost killed the same night as Lincoln. This episode is not explicit. Voiced by Michael Crowley and Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska” and written by Kari Aguila.

www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Three-Fer Assasination.

You’ve all heard about how Secretary of State Seward bought Alaska in 1867 and was laughed at for the rest of his life, but it should also be remembered that he was a close friend of President Abraham Lincoln, and was nearly assassinated the same night as Lincoln.

On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth loaded his gun and headed to the Ford’s Theater, George Atzerodt chickened out before trying to kill Vice President Johnson, and Lewis Powell walked into Secretary Seward’s bedroom and slashed him to ribbons with a knife.

He survived, but it was planned to be a three-fer assassination!

Living here in Broken, Alaska, we know there are many sides to every person, even Secretary Seward. Maybe even you.

Snake eggs are always oblong and soft, kind of like the deflated balloon you find still tied to the mailbox a week after no one showed up to your birthday party, because it it turned out no one actually got the invitations you sent, because you used the outdated 34 cent stamps that were lying around, not the Forever Stamps, but how were you to know, and at the time you were so proud that you sent the invites all by yourself but it you just failed again, and the letters were all returned to sender on the same day in a big batch, the worst belated present.

Anyway they use their egg tooth to break out of them.

Will Brick leave Broken for the far north town of Ny-Alesund? This episode is not explicit. Voiced by Paul Eenhoorn and Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska” and written by Kari Aguila. www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Ny-ålesund.

Hello, Brick, why are you walking through Broken, Alaska with a briefcase in one hand and your passport in the other.

Ever feel like there are too many people in Broken?

Well, there are only 71 of us.

Let me tell you about Ny-ålesund. It’s the world’s northernmost town and has a permanent population of just 35. It’s technically part of Norway, but thanks to an international treaty, anyone can move there – no visa, no green card, no questions asked.

You thinking about going up there?

I’m so tired of all the bureaucratic red tape in Broken, and all the people poopooing my ideas all the time, I’m going to move there and see if they will appreciate me.

Well, if you don’t need a visa, or green card, or anything, why are you bringing your passport?

I might want to come back.

See you later, Brick.

TRANSCRIPT

There is a unit of length called a smoot, equal to 5’7”/1.70m, that is named for one Oliver Smoot. In 1958, some students in an MIT fraternity had Smoot lay down on the Harvard bridge, get up, move the length of his body, and lay down again, as part of a pledge prank. The bridge, for those who care to know, is 364.4 smoots long, plus or minus one ear.

Chad. Never trust a chad.

Strange Eggs - Hoopoe May 22, 2020

Hoopoes lay smelly eggs. This episode is not explicit. Story by PRRP, Music by Mx Michael https://www.patreon.com/freckle TRANSCRIPT Hoopoes lay smelly eggs.

Like their namesake, unless I’m pronouncing it wrong, they’re a bird that will lay a smelly, brown fluid across their egg batch, to kind of prevent predators and stuff from wanting to look at them, because they’re so nasty and disgusting. It makes them smell like bacteria and rotting meat. I remember in the summer, you did not want to get outside the house when it got too warm, because of all the animals, so I can only imagine how repulsive these eggs seem. They’re normally blue, but they make them all gross and brown.

Hoopoes lay strange eggs.

Sheriff Jim May 22, 2020

How Sheriff Jim came up with the idea for the bugle warning system. This episode is not explicit. Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska”. www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Sheriff Jim.

Sheriff Jim keeps the streets of Broken, Alaska safe, and last year, he came up with a brilliant idea. Broken isn't big enough to have a 911 system, and people were having a tough time remembering his new cell number (it's 907-397-9037, by the way). Anyway, Sheriff Jim thought long and hard about what to do, and the answer came to him like a bolt of lightning in the middle of the night. He remembered the days of his youth in Kansas, when an air-raid siren was an effective way to alert the whole town of danger, so why not develop a similar system in Broken?

An air-raid siren would cost too much, and it seemed a bit extravagant to have people cranking it up every time they needed the Sheriff, so Jim decided to go with something smaller. That's why you see the shiny brass bugles nailed to poles all around town. If you get in a pinch and need a hand, just give a bugle a big blow, and Sheriff Jim will come running.

Don’t think about it like, oh, squirrel, or being hyperactive. It’s an executive functioning disorder, so your ability to form a plan, follow it through, and then assess how well it went, is damaged, on a fundamental level. That makes things like working from home, or digital learning, really, really difficult. Give people some respect, and ask them if there are ways you can help structure their day a little bit. And accept help, if it’s offered. You matter.

A PSA regarding word usage. Written by Ahab Cloud, Performed by Jack Same Ahab Cloud is an old acquaintance of Jack's. www.motelamericanapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT The following was found written on an undated postcard sent from the Motel Americana, undated:

Dear Jack,

The following words have been trademarked by the Flaming Tiger greeting card company: “Love,” “Grace,” “Loss,” “Sorry,” “Life,” and “Time.” You may still use these words in everyday conversations, but when writing them, you must include quotation marks and the proper citation. Larry Humpwilde, the CEO of the company, made the following statement: “The new trademarks on these old, nearly meaningless words will reinvigorate the common human experience.” The experts suggest that these words will carry a larger emotional impact now that they can be purchased in designer boutiques. The Flaming Tiger company plans to release more affordable versions to denote less intense expressions of emotion. There is, of course, the risk of counterfeit cards, already said to be circulating through the Chinatowns of the nation. Chairman Humpwilde despises these fraudulent vendors, stating, “Counterfeits could have dangerous psychological implications. Imagine finding out that the ‘love’ you felt was not true ‘love’ TM. Imagine that your experience of “life” TM was somehow false.

Yours, Ahab Cloud Kevin Macleod

Strange Eggs - Lacewing May 18, 2020

Lacewings lay strange eggs. This episode is not explicit. Story by Kenneth Eckle, Music by Mx Michael https://www.patreon.com/freckle TRANSCRIPT Lacewings lay dangly eggs. The green lacewing attaches its eggs to the underside of leaves, using hair-like strings of silk, so that their equally green eggs are just dangling around for all to see. If I had to compare to something you’d recognize, a group of them kind of look like the prongs of those headscratchers my uncle used to use all the time. So I guess just be careful not to keep these eggs too close to your recliner, or you’ll be in for a hairy surprise! Oh, and when they hatch, they basically just eat whatever they can that’s in closest proximity, and they might even leak acid to help digest and kill things. So that’s another reason to keep them at arm’s length. Say goodbye to your follicles otherwise! Haha. Lacewings lay strange eggs.

We have no children in Broken, Alaska, but we do have Margaret Hall at 92 years old. And she’s still out leading tours down the frothy rapids of the Jackhole River. When I asked her what she thinks about catching Covid19, she just snorted a laugh and said,

“You mean, can it catch me!? Now scoot outta here, sweet cheeks, I gotta get home to my boy-toy, Tyler. He’s been working his glutes extra hard this week on the treadmill, and I’m gonna see if I can bounce a quarter off ‘em.”

"A Plea for Help" was written by Lee Shackleford of RELATIVITY and performed by Shannon Perry of OZ-9. https://www.shacklefordfreelance.com/ TRANSCRIPT Hello, you beautiful, young, healthy person. I'm the coronavirus. And I want to take just a few seconds of your time to beg for your understanding. See, I'm really no different from you. I want to be free! To have a place to call my own! To raise a family of about a billion little ones, so please, I only live for about seventy-two hours unless someone kind and good takes me in. Someone like you. So you've probably heard from the people who want you to stay home. To wear masks. To keep washing your hands. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM. Please. I need your help if I'm going to live.

Our youngest torments me. While hardly lacking for toys or entertainment, he wishes only to watch interminable recordings of the unboxing of toys on... I shan't say the name of the website, for it has become a curse to mine ears. And the eggs... oh, the surprise eggs. Sanity lingers as a memory.

Always, Eullabelle

They say fairies are only for storybooks. But we're here - in the fields, in the forests, by the ponds, and by the cliffs. We're the ones who leave those so-called fairy rings in your backyard - fertile crescents of plush grass. And we're the ones your pet stops to stare at. Just because you can't see me doesn't mean I'm not there. In fact, on a still summer night when you look up at the sky or down at the land, don't be surprised if one of those fireflies has a rainbow trail.

Black-capped Chickadee May 12, 2020

This is the call of the Black-capped Chickadee. This episode is not explicit. Recorded and narrated by Rob Porter. Hi! My name is Rob.

I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast. https://songbirding.com/ TRANSCRIPT NARR: This is the call of the Black-capped Chickadee.

David was eager to share his screen for a narrated keynote in preparation for today’s meeting, feel free to start when ready.""

Keynote: ""The stratocumulus cloud? Overrated. The altostratus cloud? Boring. The cumulonimbus is by far the coolest, easily the most interesting, but dangerous clouds you’ll ever see. These supercells are thunderstorms on steroids, billowing upward and rotating quick, at times spawning tornados, gale force winds, and hail the size of a softball. You simply will not believe your eyes until you’ve looked at the sky, and gazed at the cumulonimbus…”

David: ""Ok so when you said ‘cloud meeting’ I thought you meant….euuuhhh….ok I’ll just….uh…..sorry let me….it won’t….it won’t stop playing….I don’t….I don’t know what to do….my computer no…it won’t…I, ughh Jesus…hang on…I….COME ON…GOD….”

Strange Eggs - Jawfish May 10, 2020

Jawfish lay strange eggs. This episode is not explicit. Story by Kenneth Eckle, Music by Mx Michael https://www.patreon.com/freckle TRANSCRIPT Jawfish lay jawful(?) eggs.

Jawfish, especially the Yellowhead Jawfish, are a type of animal called a Mouthbrooder. As you may have guessed, this means that the male jawfish will fertilize, and then collect all something-like-400 eggs into his mouth, where he’ll wait for about a week, starving himself because, turns out, it’s hard to eat when you’re already stuffed to the, um, gills, with caviar. Then, the eggs all hatch in there, which must be just the strangest sensation. I’ve only ever fit, at most, like 30 grapes in my mouth at once, and when they popped, they were not alive.

Jawfish lay strange eggs.

Like, an actual staircase right off the beaten path. They lead to an intricately carved, sturdy-looking door at the top. Do I dare approach it? When I peek around, there's nothing on the other side. Still, I take a step up. The wind stirs. Another step. Now it howls. Another step. It blows steady against my back pushing me onward. Another step. Another step. Another step. I open the door. The wind lifts me up off my feet and guides me over the threshold… and everything’s changed.

Seward's Folly May 10, 2020

Seward bought Alaska, but was it folly? This episode is not explicit. Voiced by Paul Eenhoorn and Michael Crowley of “Broken, Alaska” and written by Kari Aguila.

www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Seward’s Folly.

What are you reading, Mark?

I thought the cats and I would learn about U.S. Secretary of State, William H. Seward.

I heard that guy was a weirdo.

Most people thought he was a bit weird. See, he bought the Alaskan territory from Russia for at the time, a measly $7 million. It was cold, sparsely populated, and didn’t show much promise. Congress people laughed and laughed, and called the whole Alaskan purchase “Seward’s Folly”.

See, sounds like a looser.

Seward died a few years later, and went to his grave thinking he was America’s biggest loser for buying Alaska. But, in 1896, they found gold in the Klondike.

So, he never knew his Alaska purchase was an amazing deal?

Not in his life.

Wow.

Anxiety, kind of. To start. This episode is not explicit. Kate said things Ignorance Was Bliss is by Kate, a forensic psychologist and crisis clinician who collects stories, in an attempt to figure out how we become who we are. Website: iwbpodcast.com

LifeWorld is cohosted by Kate and Derek, and is a look at cybercrime and the methods and personalities behind the use of the Internet as a weapon. Website: https://www.spreaker.com/show/lifeworld

iwbpodcast.com and https://www.spreaker.com/show/lifeworld TRANSCRIPT Anxiety is more than feeling nervous. Pretty much everyone feels at least a little nervous, just now. Use those nerves, to remind yourself to stay home and wash your hands. But anxiety can be like a grinding, constant Eeyore cloud overhead, or it can be a specific pattern of thoughts that you just cannot stop. It’s more self-destructive than simple nerves. The best thing that you can do is to reassure people that you care about them and that their experience is valid. And the same for yourself. You matter.

He wished he had someone by his side to celebrate. Soon, that wish would come true. He pulled the lever. The super-magnet emitted a whomping sound like a mating call going out into the world. If he couldn’t be a chick magnet, he wanted to build one. It had to work! Suddenly, a long, slender, feminine arm slapped against the wall of the machine, torn away from its owner. Then someone’s foot. Someone else’s arm. A head. Two. Three. So many more. He fell to his knees as a wave of flesh blanketed the horizon. Sound effects by Erin Lilis.

I understand your dislike of my sock sliding, but it was the finals, and I was favored for the win. Sprinkling sugar water on the floor was a low blow. Once the sticky stuff is cleaned up, I’m afraid the season will be extending into triple elongated overtime. Also, we have ants. Michael. Music: your wicked ways by Richard J.

While I appreciate the need for good cardiovascular exercise, as the sole breadwinner in the household, I might ask that you either save the sliding for daytime hours, or use ANY OTHER WALL as a backstop. Failure to change your flight path will result in an abrupt cessation of toaster oven privileges, which, given the condition your cheese-on-a Pop-Tart experiment left it in, are already tenuous.

TRANSCRIPT

Dear Michael, Per your request not to speak to you again until I have “something nice to say,” I have ordered an 18 pack of Post-It notes from CostCo. I had originally planned to order the “World of Color” pack, but it’s six dollars more expensive, and knowing your love of thrift, I opted for the standard Canary Yellow, which, if nothing else, neatly matches the stripe down your back. Margaret.

White-throated Sparrow May 06, 2020

This is the song of the White-throated Sparrow. This episode is not explicit. Recorded and narrated by Rob Porter. Hi! My name is Rob. I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club. In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired. Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast. https://songbirding.com/ TRANSCRIPT This is the song of the White-throated Sparrow.

Heather said she was going to get that pothole fixed, but she didn’t.

Heather’s been in Broken, Alaska a long time, but she was born in Juneau.

I didn’t know that.

She was only ten when her mom died.

That’s sad.

Then her dad, trying to hide from his grief, moved them both to Broken. Eventually, Heather graduated from our very own Warren G. Harding High School. She was so excited to get a college scholarship from the University of Washington!

Wow.

After years of taking care of her dad, she says when she finally left, it felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders, and she could breathe for the first time. Then, after only two years at school, Heather’s dad got sick, and she had to come back and take care of him again. More years passed and by the time he finally died, her dreams were squashed and any hopes of returning to school vanished.

I didn’t know that either.

Yeah, most of the time we just think of Heather as the Head of the City Council. But, there’s more than meets the eye there.

Margaret Hall, Part 5 Apr 29, 2020

Margaret Hall finds something strange in the woods around Broken. This episode is not explicit. Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska”. www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Margaret Hall. Part 5

Margaret Hall was bruised and battered when she walked back into Broken, Alaska the next day. She scoffed at the help her neighbors offered, and was back on the river the following week, guiding a bunch of tourists from Illinois down the frothy Jackhole River.

If you see Margaret down in the Twisted Dinghy one night, ask her about it. She enjoys telling the story of the night she met the giant creature of the forest. Offer to buy her a beer or three and she'll even act out the way the creature howled and snarled as he tried to shake her from that tree. You can almost imagine being out there with her.

But, as the evening draws to a close, you'll notice Margaret get a little quieter, and a little pensive. She'll get a far-away look in her eyes and you'll know she's thinking about him; respecting his strength, his survival. Margaret Hall fell a little bit in love that night.

Margaret Hall, Part 4 Apr 29, 2020

Margaret Hall finds something strange in the woods around Broken. This episode is not explicit. Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska”.

www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Margaret Hall. Part 4

Finally, the creature stopped rocking the massive Sitka Spruce. Margaret heard him panting as he backed away from the tree. She looked down at him and he looked up at her and for the briefest moment, their eyes met.

Now, Margaret can't say for sure what that mysterious creature was thinking in that moment, but the way she tells it, she saw something akin to respect in his eyes. He stared at her, heaved a sigh, and maybe, just maybe, nodded a bit before turning and running back the way he had come. The wind kicked up, and the clouds quickly pulled closed the curtain on moonlight, plunging the forest into darkness again.

Listen to the conclusion of Margaret Hall’s story in Part 5.

Margaret Hall, Part 3 Apr 29, 2020

Margaret Hall finds something strange in the woods around Broken. This episode is not explicit. Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska”. www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Margaret Hall. Part 3

Margaret Hall tried to stand as the creature barreled toward her tree stand, but was held back by the straps that tied her to the tree. She braced herself and clutched her gun to her chest as the animal collided with the giant spruce. He let out a terrible howl as his long arms wrapped half way around the tree trunk, and he leaned his weight back and forth as he began to push and pull the tree.

Margaret hollered into the night as she felt the tree begin to sway, her body rocking back and forth with each tug of the creature below. As his pace quickened, her tree swayed like it was in a hurricane, and Margaret saw the sky and the ground alternately flashing before her eyes in rapid pulses. Her homemade granola, her backpack, her camouflage face makeup, her ammo, her water bottle all flew into the air, but Margaret remained in her tree stand, strapped tight to the trunk of the mighty tree as it rocked.

Will Margaret survive the terror in her tree? Listen to Part 4 of Margaret Hall!

Margaret Hall, Part 2 Apr 29, 2020

Margaret Hall finds something strange in the woods. This episode is not explicit. Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska”. www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Margaret Hall. Part 2 Margaret held her breath when she saw the massive shadow of the creature lurking below her tree stand in the dark. She froze, her heart pounding in her chest. A slight breeze rustled her hair as it passed, and within seconds Margaret saw the animal tense as her scent hit him. Suddenly, a patch of sky cleared and the full moon shone down like a spot light onto the clearing. Margaret saw the creature staring up at her. It was at least 10 feet tall, and covered head-to-toe in thick hair. Its dark eyes, as large as tea cups narrowed as it began to lurch toward the tree. Margaret, a seasoned pro not disposed to flights of panic, lifted her rifle and shot once, twice, as the creature drew near. The bullets seamed to graze off his shoulders as he ran in her direction. What will the creature do? Listen to Part 3 of Margaret Hall! This episode of Listen, Rinse, Repeat was voiced by Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska” and written by Kari Aguila.

TRANSCRIPT

Lake Iliamna.

Have fun boating this weekend, Anikah. Did you know Lake Iliamna is the largest lake in Alaska – big as the state of Connecticut!

That's a big lake.

But be careful. You ever hear of the lake monster?

Ah, no.

The creature is said to be over 60 feet long. She can arc her back above the surface, and has been known to bite right through the hull of a rowboat.

You don’t really believe that, do you?

George tried to see her once. Few summers ago, he went to Lake Iliamna and sat in his boat. The next morning, George walked into "Brooke’s Books and Other Things", Mark poured him a cup of coffee, and asked how the search had gone. George rubbed his hand across his jaw, and said, "Mark, some things in this world just ain't meant to be talked about." Never spoke of it again.

Really?

Maybe. Have fun boating, though!

TRANSCRIPT

Mosquito Lake.

George and Mary made their way to Mosquito Lake on the west edge of Broken, Alaska. George had two fishing rods slung over his shoulder. Mary swung the tackle box from her hand as she tucked their red plaid blanket under her arm.

They sat side-by-side, lines dangling in the water, talking about their plans for the day when George would finally sell the antiques shop and they'd have enough money for their dream house in Hawaii. Mary’s eyes would sparkle and a dimple would pop into her cheek, and George would fall in love with her all over again.

When the cancer took Mary a couple years later, George never really recovered. Most weekdays you can still find him holed up in his antiques shop, no reason in the world to ever retire now. Most weekends, you can find him sitting at the edge of Mosquito Lake, all the reason in the world to long for days gone by.

Jumping Frenchmen of Maine is a bizarre rare condition characterized by an unusually extreme startle response, including repeating the words or actions of others. Not only will sufferers react with exaggerated movements to surprising stimuli, they also become powerless to refuse commands for a brief time. It was first observed in French-Canadian loggers in New England, hence the name.

TRANSCRIPT

One month before the Berlin Brandenburg Airport was set to open in 2011, the date got pushed back. About a dozen times. The fire suppression system was a hazard in and of itself, 4,000 doors were mislabeled, and there was fear the roof would collapse. It’s still not open and now it needs more money for things like burned-out arrival/departure screens.

Song Sparrow Apr 24, 2020

The Song Sparrow is a small stripped sparrow with a big personality, found across North America in fields, meadows, marshes, and sometimes in backyards. Hi! My name is Rob. I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club. In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired. Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

Strange Eggs - Shark Apr 22, 2020

Sharks lay strange eggs. This episode is not explicit. Story by PRRP, Music by Mx Michael https://www.patreon.com/freckle TRANSCRIPT Sharks lay spiral eggs. Not all sharks, just some sharks, like the horned or bullhead sharks, but all shark eggs are exceptionally strange. Let’s just focus on these for now. These eggs look akin to a conical seashell or giant screw; they are often jet black, airplane black, with equally-spirally tendrils hanging from the bottom. These tendrils will catch against rocks or algae, as if an anchor, so they don’t wash away in the vast expanse of the ocean. It seems parent sharks don’t tend to look after their young, so I guess it behooves them to hatch somewhere secure. But I say let them drift away, for all I care. These eggs freak me out. Sharks lay strange eggs.

Frisky little pup, couldn’t sit still, then protected those kids like nobody’s business. Turned into a pretty creature. Regal. Still breaks my heart to think how quick she got so old. Her eyes clouded so she couldn’t see straight. Bit anyone came knocking on the door. Then barking and growling at us , her own folks, poor thing.

TRANSCRIPT

I want to address self-care, for just a second. A lot of people are talking about all of the things they’re getting done around their house, or new projects they’re talking on, or ways they’re pampering themselves, during the quarantine. Good for them. Really. But for some of us, getting out of bed is a big deal. Remembering to eat. Scrolling, or avoiding, social media. Making eye contact. It all counts. Give yourself credit for the things you can accomplish, not criticism for the things you think you should be doing. You matter.

I watched him from my window every morning, talking to himself, walking to the end of the street and back. One morning I didn’t see him. But that night, Old man didn’t seem so old anymore as I watched him walk up to my door with something shiny in his hand.

Strange Eggs - Caecilian Apr 15, 2020

Caecilians lay strange eggs. This episode is not explicit. Story by PRRP, Music by Mx Michael PRRP is a multi-award-winning podcast that reviews the reviews of its podcast. It’s good! https://www.patreon.com/freckle TRANSCRIPT Caecilians lay translucent eggs. If you’re unfamiliar, these are those weird limbless amphibians, basically snake-frogs, that burrow around underground and in the water, very grossly. Their eggs look like those cats-eye marbles, except with little nasty worms inside in lieu of cool colors. It’s hard to imagine rolling these around as a lo-fi past-time, but if you’re in dire straits... Don’t worry though, because when they hatch, they feast on the skin of their parent in order to grow tenfold in about a week, so it’s not like it gets any worse. Yuck! Caecilians lay strange eggs.

Red-winged Blackbird Apr 15, 2020

The Red-winged Blackbird is a well-known species found in marshes, fields, and even in backyards across North America. Hi! My name is Rob. I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club. In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired. Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

Your Brain on Facts is a half-hour podcast of things you didn’t know, things you thought you knew, and things you never knew you never knew, covering topics as diverse as science-fiction, funerals, food origins, heroic animals, and the strategic butter reserve. Before she started the Your Brain On Facts podcast to safely vent the copious bonus facts in her brain, Moxie LaBouche performed and produced burlesque, specifically "nerd-lesque." It was her privilege to produce the only George R. R. Martin-approved burlesque tribute to Game of Thrones and even to play for the man himself.

Moxie has presented a local TED talk, is the prolific author of unfinished fiction, knows seven words of Latin, and previously earned her living as a goat farmer and soap maker. She is also the creator and co-host of the Science With Savannah, Age 7 podcast and YouTube channel. Moxie lives in Virginia with her husband and a dozen or so pets. http://yourbrainonfacts.com/ TRANSCRIPT

The first public artificial ice rink, London’s Glaciarium, which opened in 1841, had no ice; you skated on a layer of pig fat, salts, and copper sulfate. It fell out of favor due to the smell. A mechanically frozen rink was still 36 years away, when inventor John Gamgee repurposed a device he’d made to freeze meat for trans-oceanic shipment.

Good morning, good evening and good afternoon simultaneously. This is The Admiral speaking and I wish to address proper hand washing procedures. First, you must strip yourself of all your worldly desires. Release the fears and hang ups that keep you from being your true self. Second, you must strip yourself of all your clothes. As all Oceanologists know, the hands are the gateway to the body. As we cleanse them, we cleanse our souls. Third, dip your hands in pure bees wax. Don’t use the store brand. DON'T USE THE STORE BRAND. Then scrub vigorously while singing. Baby whale...baby whale...

Strange Eggs - Ant Apr 07, 2020

Ants lay strange eggs. This episode is not explicit. Story by Kenneth Eckle, Music by Mx Michael https://www.patreon.com/freckle TRANSCRIPT Ants lay too many eggs. We all know and love ants; they fight with grasshoppers about seasons. But did you also know that when an ant becomes the queen of a new colony, it will lay THOUSANDS of eggs a day? Not only that, but it has to choose the sex of every single one! That’s a lot of decision-making! If she chooses to fertilize an egg, it becomes a female worker ant; all the unfertilized eggs become male sex slaves. In the queen’s entire, and what must be dull, lifetime, it will lay about a third of a million eggs! That’s more eggs than stars in the sky, I bet. Finally, in an act of unbridled sadism, she also determines which of the eggs will become their own future queens, thereby subjecting them to the same endless and frankly bizarre cycle of lifelong torture. Ants lay strange eggs. Mx Michael

Scout Ship Emissary Part 1 Apr 07, 2020

Alone among the stars, I am the first human to set eyes on any of these worlds. Planet: Nu Vespae III [Dice rolls] One Anomaly While scanning the planet’s north pole, I notice a massive metal obelisk jutting at an odd angle from the ice cap. Constructed.

Dark-eyed Junco Apr 04, 2020

The Dark-eyed Junco is known to many in North America as a winter bird. They have a rattle-like trill as a song, which is heard usually in early spring just before they return to the far north and alpine regions for breeding.

Hi! My name is Rob.

I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

Michael stood in front of the bathroom mirror. “Bloody Mary” he said, in the dim, flickering light of the candle. “Bloody Mary.” His hand trembled, the candle nearly falling into the sink. He closed his eyes “Bloody Mary.” He opened his eyes: She was there! Deathly pale and terrible! He turned to run, but she reached out and grabbed his shirt. “Don’t you wash the news?” she shrieked. “Wash your damn hands!”

NEW WITCH

Written & Performed by Eddie Louise

Her rage was an incandescent heat, sparking from the ends of her hair and fingertips. Overhead, storm clouds filled the sky, their purple bellies bruised and swollen. Katya leaned into the wind, relishing the lash of icy air, the whip-sting of sleet punishing away her tears. Gone was the softness that beckoned in the marriage bed, the silken skin that called to a lover. In its place, a mask of white porcelain, seamless and without expression. She lifted arms that held nothing of the supplicant and began to chant.

EXT, NIGHT: BRIDGE OF A SHIP SOUNDS: Oceanic ambiance

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR I see the light of a ship in the distance. I force myself forward, sluggish in my movements as the sea tries to hold me back. I push harder, faster, as the red side light becomes brighter with the closing distance. The white hull gleams in the soft moonlight - I will be on their bridge in moments! I increase my speed, timing it just right to meet my redemption, my salvation! The stars brighten as I come closer to my goal. Except, now I know salvation will not be mine. Time seems to slow to a crawl as I enter the bridge - and see myself reaching for the alarm.

I noticed there was something red on her lips, but I pushed it aside. I picked her up into my arms, asking where her momma was, and as we walked into the living room, she patted her stomach with the biggest smile on her face. It was only then that I noticed my wife laying on the ground, little chunks missing from her face.

TRANSCRIPT

CARL Put the ghost light out, Fred.

FRED Why do we leave a lamp on in an empty theater? It’s such a waste of electricity.

CARL It’s not for people, boy. It’s for the ghosts. You can feel them, can’t you, Fred? Hear the footsteps in the catwalk when you know there’s no one up there? See the costume room door open by itself? Hear music from the pit when you thought you was alone in the theater? They’re here, Fred. They’re all around us! AND THEY DEMAND WE KEEP THE GHOST LIGHT BURNING - FOR IF YOU TURN IT OFF...

FRED What are you doing, Carl?

CARL If you turn it off...

FRED CARL, STOP.

CARL If you turn it off..

SFX: The click of the light going out and then Fred falling into the pit.

CARL ...then someone is likely to fall off the stage in the dark, you putz. Now come on, we’ve got a party to go to.

Website: iwbpodcast.com

TRANSCRIPT I was on a remote New Hampshire road, when something flew overhead and landed on the hood of my car. Its eyes were huge. It looked at me… looked away… and looked back at me… all without moving its body. My brain went blank. I said, quote, “Oh my gawd… it’s… that’s… look… um… it’s… it’s a murderbird,” because an owl was blamed for the death of Kathleen Peterson. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. And now you know the origin of the murderbird.

TRANSCRIPT (Underscored by Unchained Melody.)

VO. I stand at the bathroom sink. How did we get here? I turn on the faucet. Swayze, my roommate’s Old English Bulldog, senses my uneasiness and lays at my feet. I pick up the bar of soap and close my eyes. As I wash, a wave of calm passes over me, and there he is. His chest against my back, his cheek against my cheek, his warm hands running down the sides of my arms. He takes my hands in his and begins to guide me through the suds. I can feel him here washing with me.

They Need An Answer Mar 29, 2020

When you leave the bathroom, they'll expect a decision.

SPOUSE Honey. You’ve got to go back in there. Randall has practically been handing out 25th Amendment t-shirts to everyone he can put in a corner. And, it’s not like there’s a whole lot of places to hide from him down here.

It’s not your fault. Okay? None of this is your fault. Now, stop it. Snap out of it. And, quit scrubbing and splashing around like a lunatic.

My hands are as red as yours, but I would be ashamed if my heart were as pale and weak.

Now, dry off your hands, touch up that beautiful face, and launch the missiles.

The Eastern Meadowlark Mar 29, 2020

The Eastern Meadowlark is a bird of the tallgrass prairie, found in eastern North America and known for its melodious song.

Hi! My name is Rob. I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

THE ISLAND SOUNDS: Discombobulating effect

SOUNDS: Incoherent mumbling, staggered footsteps

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR This....place...that shouldn't be. Shouldn't exist. I feel a rumble beneath my feet;

SOUNDS: Earthquake-like rumbling, followed by rushing water

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR hoping - praying, it's the earth coming to swallow me whole. That hope is dashed when the water pours in from all directions, pulling me down into the unfathomable abyss.

The Quramaforis are an alien race whose members like to swap bodies for fun. The Quramaforis are big on fun.

So when Robert woke up he was Maureen. Maureen had a fantastic day water skiing at the lake with her girlfriends and went to bed exhausted. They woke up as Kelly, who wasn’t really a morning person but still got a lot done, had a martini and fell asleep happy. Their eyes opened as Madison, who leapt out of bed, went on a jog, took a long shower and crawled into bed again for a nap. When she woke up she was Matthew who taught his kids how to make scrambled eggs and let them add food coloring and sprinkles to it. Later on, he tucked them in and went to bed himself.

You know how big a womp rat is, and if someone feeds you this line, you’ll respond without even thinking.

John hurried home, collar up, head down, his mood splashing down in the muck with his shoes. Coming towards him was another man, also inadequately armored against the rain. As they passed, the man muttered,

Man 1:"Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!"

Narrator: Almost without thinking and without missing a beat, John replied,

John: "Who's scruffy looking?"

Transcript: I’ve been afraid of heights for as long as I can remember, but standing on that cliff, looking down into the clear blue water below me, I wouldn’t let it control me any more. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, before I opened them and leapt off. I felt the rush of wind, as I turned my body, and cut through the water like it was nothing. I smiled as I came back to the surface, and as I felt the tug on my leg and agony ripped through my body, I knew I should have been afraid of sharks instead.

NARRATOR: "I’m sorry?” She winced in her kneeling spot beside the cabbage roses.

From behind the crumbling wall, the silhouette whispered again.

She shielded her eyes with a mud-caked cotton glove, and a cold breeze stole past her cheek, disturbing the untucked strands of her white fringe.

“I can’t hear you from over there!”

The dim figure glided to her gate — a lattice of iron and ivy — and waited. The sky dragged a shroud of darkness across her rosemary bed.

Negotiating knee complaints, she clambered to her feet, and every neighbouring garden came into view; brown and withered.

“It’s no good, I’ll have to come to you”, she said; the pruning shears snug in her grip.

You awaken in bed, to the sound of soft running water down the hall.

As you slowly fumble from your room, you enter a pitch black hallway, save for a sliver of light at the end.

You make your way cautiously forward, the floorboards creaking with each step.

Hand trembling on the doorknob, you throw the door open to a blinding light. As your eyes adjust, you see your roommate standing before you with a look of confusion.

Lizzie Stays Seven Mar 27, 2020

Real life super-family Aaron, June, and Lizzie are 2/3 Oz 9 assassins and 1/3 ridiculously cute kiddo. Talented beyond all reasonable measure, they live in IL and occasionally in outer space.

Lizzie Stays Seven

Narrator: She got to 7 and decided she’d had enough growing up. She was tall enough to reach the cookie jar, strong enough to earn the respect of Brad the bully, fast enough to catch Scooby when he got out, smart enough to know the important stuff like the order of the planets, brave enough to stick her foot out from under the blankets and over the edge of the bed, even on Halloween night.

Lizzie: “Seven is enough. Gracie is 8 and doesn’t believe in Santa Claus or magic wands anymore. I’m good right here,”

Narrator: said Lizzie. And she was.

Dr. Geek's Moment of Silence Mar 27, 2020

Dr. Scott Viguié holds two doctorate degrees and is an archaeologist, attorney, actor and author which of course makes him perfect for the role of archaeologist Eli Sherzberg.

(more on the good doctor below)

INT: Doctor Geek’s Office

SFX: Music intro

Deus Ex: Welcome to Doctor Geek’s Moment of Science

Dr Geek: While most of us are sheltering in place, remember that ordinary soap and water are very powerful tools that can keep us all healthy. Why is that? Because viruses generally consist of RNA, proteins and lipids. There are no strong bonds holding these building blocks together, so it doesn’t take much effort for the soap to dissolve the lipid (or fatty) layer causing the virus to become inactive. That’s right, with soap the power to fight this pandemic is in your hands!

Dr Geek: This episode of listen rinse repeat was voiced by Dr. Scott Viguie and written by Doctor Geek’s Laboratory of Applied Geekdom

www.drgeeklab.com

Before his wife will permit him to go back to graduate school, yet again, Scott will have to promise to move on to something that starts with a “B”. As luck would have it, Scott is also the first bionic man. Well, … not exactly.

In reality, Scott was one of the first to undergo extensive orthopedic surgery to compensate for cerebral palsy. While these cutting edge techniques did in fact grant him the ability to walk, making him better … stronger … faster, his new abilities did not in fact come with the cool sound effects. So began a lifelong obsession with science, technology, and the science fiction that inspires them.

Scott’s love of all things science fiction and fantasy can be heard on various podcasts, including Transmissions From Gallifrey, Articles of the Shadow Proclamation, Earth Station One, and Earth Station Who. Scott is also one of the writers for Continuum Force, penning several of the episodes.

Throughout the year, Scott travels the convention circuit, appearing at such conventions as Dragon*con, Time Lord Fest, and TimeGate, where he can be seen participating in Doctor Who related panels and speaking on such topics as “The Archaeology of Stargate”.

Scott established Doctor Geek’s Laboratory and Doctor Geek’s Science Fair in the hope that it would encourage a rekindled sense of optimism for the future. That it would bring about enthusiasm for innovation. That it would bring the fictional world of tomorrow, one step closer to today.

Scott is also a consultant for the Science & Entertaiment Exchange, a volunteer network based out of Los Angles that connects productions with experts who can add a little science to the fiction.

The Wizard Mar 27, 2020

Written by Eddie Louise | Performed by Justin Bremer

Gardigal slammed his staff into the hard, slate flagstones, the ringing thunk timed to his footsteps as he traversed the breezeway between domestic chambers and his tower. He was not sure what Eilidgh thought she was up to, but the ridiculous notion that she could choose her own future was a weed that he would soon prune from her garden. The wails of the girl’s tears danced in his wake and a small smile crooked the corner of his lips. He would turn the child’s weakness to his advantage. Her hysterics were proof that she was incapable of arranging her own marriage. Gardigal would do what was best. [Chuckle evilly over screams of the princess]

Turned by the serial killer she was chasing, Allister Connacher. I will find them and end them both for what they did to Carl. I swear it.

Once, in Cobalt Mar 26, 2020

Once, in Cobalt... I ran until my feet could no longer carry me. I slumped down against a tree to catch my breath hoping he wasn’t close behind. I heard the stories, but I didn’t think they were true. Old Yellow Top? A name that makes a monstrous humanoid beast sound more like a child’s teddy bear. But I heard the footfall and I knew he was there before I even turned my head… where he held out a trillium, the first of the season and then slumped down beside me, smiling. Maybe his name was appropriate after all. This episode of Listen, Rinse, Repeat was written and voiced by Jackie Jorgenson of the original fairytale audio drama, Tales From The Aether.

The Dream Mar 26, 2020

Dwayne Farver

Manifestations

Transcript

Growing up, there was a recurring dream that I would have. I would go into a room, turn on the light, but there was a flash – and the bulb would immediately burn out.

So, I would go into another room to turn on that light so I could see to change the other lightbulb. But when I would turn that light on, flash! No lights there either.

That was when the dread would set in. I knew they were there. Shadowy figures standing in the corners.

One time, something made me angry. I rushed at the one closest to me, with my hands outstretched to grab it. What I grabbed on to felt like denim overalls.

That was when I woke up, laughing hysterically. It was also the last time I had the dream.

Strange Eggs - Kiwi Mar 26, 2020

PRRP is a multi-award-winning podcast that reviews the reviews of its podcast. It’s good!

Strange Eggs - Kiwi

Transcript and Show Notes

Kiwi lay big eggs. Not objectively big, but relatively big, compared to their tiny bodies, which are, I suppose, subjectively tiny. But like, the kiwi will take an entire month to produce a measly single egg, which ends up being like a fifth of their entire body weight. In fact, often the egg gets so big, they don’t even eat leading up to its expulsion. They just take up too much space! But the good news is, if any of this can be good news, is that kiwi eggs are mostly yolk, about 2/3rds yolk, so when they’re born, they basically are totally financially independent and free to go about their business.

The kiwi lays strange eggs.

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR We are adrift in the fog, there's not another crewmember in sight. I clamor up to the bridge and it, too, is empty. I grab the 1MC and say, (PA Filter) "All hands, lay to the weatherdecks!" I hear something in the distance (waves crashing) and pull on the ship's whistle (fog horn sounds). The fog clears and I see greenish black rocks surrounding oddly stacked structures - Cyclopean monoliths that pain my mind to witness.

They smell blood

NARRATOR:They smell blood, he’d heard.

He flattened the peeling corners of the wet sticking plaster on his elbow, and shivered. The coastline was still an unimaginable distance away.

He curled his toes over the edge of the rotting raft that floated on polystyrene blocks, anchored to the seabed by slick, weed-choked chains, and risked a glimpse.

Spectres circled beneath the surface. Each a streamlined torpedo of deathless hunger.

Dizzy, he looked back towards the scattered bodies, and spotted his brother’s blue and white windbreak.

He slowed his breathing, adjusted his goggles, and stretched his arms out ahead of him.

Sea Terrors by Mike Gagne

Transcript:

INT: BRIDGE OF UNNAMED COAST GUARD CUTTER SOUNDS: Nighttime, sea ambiance, slight rumble of engines in the background.

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR I stand my watch every night, midnight until zero-four. Last night was different. Out of a nowhere, a massive vessel bore down on us from the port side. Came out of nowhere. I yelled to the helmsman, "Hard to starboard! Port ahead full!" We were too late. I reached for the collision alarm right before the moment of impact, but felt nothing. I looked over my shoulder to see the skeletal bridge crew of the ship passing right through us.

Blue Smoke

NARRATOR: Agent Zamora rubbed a close-shaven temple. He swore the bone-dry ticking of the cheap clock above him was half the cause of his migraine.

“We know it was you, Blue Smoke, or whatever the tabloids call ya. Just tell us where you stashed the apparatus, and we can end this.”

The other contributing half imagined what it might be to throw her cuffed hands around his neck, and gently kiss his forehead. But she had a reputation to maintain, not to mention a tight timescale.

“You’ve gotten further than most. You’ll find me again.”

She braced herself as the hour hand crept towards six pm.

Beneath her newly-scarred skin, her skeleton glimmered and hummed.

November 2012 – part 1 of 3

Transcript: (front door opening, outside ambience, footsteps)

I look down at him, in his red snowsuit and his black hat with white stars sprinkled all over it, and I think: We did it. We made it all the way here. I take his hand and we walk across the parking lot. He looks up at me, proud of his newfound walking skills. Whoopsidaisy. Almost fell there. But all is well. CREDITS

The storm for wolves and witches Mar 25, 2020

Do thunderstorms awaken the wolf in you? Or the witch?

Transcript:

It was the perfect storm. The thunder was equal parts crackle and boom, and the lightning that followed threw off shards of light, split the dark and sewed it up again. This night, this moon, this storm were for wolves and witches, and Sara, who was a bit of both, headed towards the mountaintops where the wild things were.

TRANSCRIPT:

When the Big Mice arrived, they landed in the mitten-shaped state of Michigan. This was long before mittens were a thing. The Big Mice liked Michigan, but it surrounded by nothing but empty canyons. So they set out to find water. Which they did. Find water, I mean. Each Big Mouse filled its cheeks up real big, ran back to Michigan, and spit into the empty canyons. They put on floppy hats and learned how to do underwater somersaults. It was nice.

But the Big Mice had other worlds to explore, and eventually piled back into their translucent traveling sphere and rolled away, leaving behind nothing but good vibes. This was long after good vibes were a thing.

Listen, Rinse, Repeat Mar 24, 2020

How many times can you really sing Happy Birthday or the ABCs before you're ready to launch the paper towel dispenser out the nearest window? (Apparently the answer is 88, but we won't discuss how we know that.)

To ease the pain of yet another 20 seconds standing at the sink, a group of podcasters have come together to create these 20-second (ish) shorts.

Our Micro-Podcasts Against Micro-Organisms will entertain you AND help you reduce the spread of disease. So, fire one up, lather up, and listen, rinse, repeat!
