Episode 373: God Help You If You Skipped Part 1 (The Punishment of Gangana Part 2) May 16, 2023

Show notes

HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!
After an almost definitely unhelpful recap of Part 1, we conclude our trek into The Punishment of Gangana. Hopefully this time you walk away with useful knowledge, like the difference between a dragon and a flying lizard, what is and is not a prank (kidnapping), and that if you just wait around long enough, eventually something will happen.

Suggested talking points: The Good Podcasting Spice, Goatmeal, Look With Your Wallet, The Hat is VERY Cool, More of a Threat Than a Moral

Episode 372: Now This is Podcasting (The Punishment of Gangana Part 1) May 09, 2023

Show notes

HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!
After discussing our various franchising options (again), We begin reading The Punishment of Gangana this week. We do our best to follow along, but it proves to be deceptively simple, and entirely interested in the minutiae of a number of characters it decides to name at random intervals. Good luck with Part 2, everyone.

Suggested talking points: A Very Unfortunate Metric, Deep France, The Kingdom of Twitter, What a Charming and Delightful Dingdong, Imaginary Carman vs. Reality Carman, This Mouse is Gorgeous, Make Words Happen

Show notes

HEY! YOU! CARMAN'S DOING A KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!
This week on WTFolklore, after a brief update on the state of mini-golf and pizza in this country, we read Yallery Brown, which is less of a cautionary tale and more of a general PSA to be on the lookout for this prick.
