Episode 123: Save The Date by Joe Zieja

dunesteef — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:24:16 +0000

When Angela’s husband died, she was devastated. She just couldn’t stop dwelling on her pain, until a friend gave her a book to help distract her. Working her way through the hobbies in the book, she made it to “calendar keeping,” and that’s where it all went horribly wrong. Never buy a calendar from a goth chick!

Afterward, Big and Rish try to explain why this episode is so late, and talk about calendars and record-keeping (sounds fascinating, I know). Also, some kind of announcement is made in there somewhere.

Special thanks to Kenn Crawford for producing today’s story; R.E. Chambliss, Ryan E. Stevenson, and Cheyenne Amero for lending their voices to today’s episode; and Melissa Hills for providing the episode art.

Episode 122: Rain by Abby Manheim

dunesteef — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:54:17 +0000

When Rain was born, he was different from others, he was colicky for one, and babies weren’t colicky anymore. Not since before. But things were about to change…outtakes

Also, Rish and Big talk utopias, dystopias, and the story potential of such concepts.

Episode 118: Beachcombing by Ray Cluley

dunesteef — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 18:34:30 +0000

When Tommy touches an object, he gets an impression from whoever has touched it before. He wanders the beach each day, combing it for discarded items that may in fact be lost treasures.

Afterward, Rish and Big talk beaches, their power, their allure, and the sharks that patrol their waters. Outtakes

Episode 116: Silk For Moisture, Mud For Shine by Amanda C. Davis

dunesteef — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:06:01 +0000

A Silkie Wrap. All the beautiful people are getting them. After you’ve had yours, you’ll feel like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. Hopefully, you can afford the price.

Afterward, Rish and Big talk a bit about that thing that’s in the eye of the beholder, deals with the devil, the thing that’s a joy forever, and that thing that’s only skin deep. Rish does go on and on even more than usual here, so be warned if he tends to offend you. outtakes

Episode 115: After School Snacks by K. Bowen Black

dunesteef — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 05:01:44 +0000

Old Mrs. Wakefield seems like such a nice lady. All the kids love to go to her house after school on Fridays for treats. Such a wonderful tradition they all enjoy so much. There couldn’t possibly be something sinister underneath, could there? outtakes

Afterward, Rish and Big talk and talk and talk. Evil children. Trick or treating. Halloween candy. Clean-bots. Kindly old people. Snot-nosed brats. Superman with elephantitis. This is destined to be one of our best episodes ever. Or easily our worst.

Episode 112: Death And Michelle Jenkins by Christopher Munroe

dunesteef — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 08:58:23 +0000

outtakes

Michelle’s mother and father aren’t quite sure about their daughter’s most recent choice in her love life. Sure, the kid with the Mohawk and the sternum piercing was not what they’d hoped for, but now she’s going out with The Grim Reaper?

Afterward, Big and Rish talk a bit about death. Their conversation becomes totally predictable in the end. Heck, I’ll bet they end with thanking people and then signing off.

Special thanks to Sonny C. for producing today’s story and to Juliet Bowler, R.E. Chambliss, and the Narrator for lending their voices to the episode.

Episode 111: All The Cool Monsters At Once by James Alan Gardner

dunesteef — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 06:05:01 +0000

It starts with Ogopogo. Then, the floodgates are opened, and a deluge of monsters from all parts of Canada appear, heading for…Winnipeg? What will Canada do?

Afterward, Big talks respectfully about Canada. Rish does not. And do the Dunesteef hosts believe in such things as Ogopogo, Sasquatches, and Manipogo?

Episode 106: Peacemaker, Peacemaker, Little Bo Peep by Jason Sanford

dunesteef — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 05:17:24 +0000

Peeeeeeeeace.

The previously kind, docile, and sane people of town have turned violent and bloodthirsty. They’re killing off anyone in town who is normally willing to do violence, from murderers to police officers. How can Sgt. Davies save herself and her family?

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about feedback, especially comments, about this episode and old ones. A second incentive episode is announced. Also, Rish tries to coin the term “as thick as nails.” And “renumeration.” This is not his night.

Episode 105: Emmett, Joey & The Beelz by Ralph Sevush

dunesteef — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 22:06:28 +0000

Seven years ago, loser drug-addict Joey and his bullying, hulking friend Emmett made a deal with the Beelz. The details are hazy, maybe something about a job, maybe something about a book, but now the word on the streets is that Beelz is back, and ready to collect. outtakes

To say more might be too say too much.

Also, Rish tries to apologize for how late this episode is, Big tries to deflect blame, and the subject of casting against type is discussed.

Episode 101: Becoming Brother by Leo Godin

dunesteef — Wed, 04 May 2011 08:36:24 +0000

Billy is an outer, the lowest of the low. No respect from anyone. When his mother sends him out to gather weemer mushrooms for a recipe she’s cooking up, he has no idea just how much his life will be changing.

Afterward, Big and new co-host R080T talk about the story, the change-up in the Fantastic Four’s team, and Big’s eventual death and difficulty excreting. outtakes
