Episode 80: Open Twenty-Four Hours by Edward McKeown

Posted in Comedy, Edward McKeown, Science Fiction, Short Story on September 4, 2010 by dunesteef

Tars Bokara has the unenviable task of seeking out the unlikely location of the long-lost planet Earth. When he finds it, he discovers a thriving business covering the entire world, with employees eager to please. Want to take a guess what their hours are?

Also, Rish talks (and talks and talks) about his recent trip to Comic-Con. Romance, frustration, and murder attempts abounded, apparently. Somewhere in all this, Big tells him why the show’s never had a Parsec nomination.

Posted in Audio Drama, Big Anklevich, Christmas, Comedy, Fantasy, Rish Outfield on December 24, 2009 by dunesteef

The Dunesteef saves Christmas. Something has happened to the little town of Hawk Creek. Overnight, literally from one minute to the next, their Christmas spirit fled. What can Dale Cooper do to bring it back?

Posted in Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Matt Kluchar, Science Fiction, Short Story on August 15, 2009 by dunesteef

Peter has grown old. He’s outlived all the people who love him, and all he has left is his memories. But might reliving his memories be dangerous? Even deadly?

Also, Rish and Big talk about suspension of disbelief, stupid stunts they pulled when they were young and stupid…well, more stupid anyway, and the Spanish Inquisition (bet you didn’t expect that). outtake

Posted in Abigail Hilton, Comedy, Fantasy, Short Story on August 3, 2009 by dunesteef

Miranda has never known her father, and her mother hasn’t been very forthcoming about identity. But one day, staying home from school, she meets the man, and everything becomes clear.

Afterward, Rish and Big talk about destiny, being ordinary, and make fun of Abbie much more than is necessary. Also, it’s been ten years since Star Wars: The Phantom Menace came out in theatres. What do they remember about its release, and how do they feel about the movie now?
