Lysel was attacked and bitten by a giant venomous spider, now Leyton must collect dozens of venom sacs to make the antidote for the poison, or his sister will perish. Can he get them in time…

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about spiders, the sounds they might make, and creative outlets. Big talks about “The Thundercats” and Rish complains about special effects…again. Just count yourself lucky they don’t sing the theme to “Mister Belvedere.”

Special thanks Bryan Lincoln for producing today’s story, and to Angela Moore for lending her voice to today’s episode.

Episode 93: The Alarm by Harris Tobias

Posted in Fantasy, Harris Tobias, Short Story on February 12, 2011 by dunesteef

An alarm has started ringing, but no one knows what it’s for. Old Havermayer, the beggar, says it’s a signal to alert the town that the dragon wakes. Could it be true? What will become of this peaceful town?

Plus, Rish and Big talk Batman casting (that’s right, they cast Bane’s part…oh, and maybe another part too), and someone stops in to offer Rish Outfield a little help with women, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Episode 91: The Invisible Kingdom by Mark L. S. Stone

Posted in Comedy, Fantasy, Mark L. S. Stone, Short Story on January 23, 2011 by dunesteef


When Ben is accosted by a crazy man insisting that Ben is the heir to a far-off, magical land, he shrugs it off as the sort of thing you experience riding public transit in Los Angeles (of course, this could just be Rish’s experience talking). But when another stranger claims the same thing, he begins to worry.

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about being “The Chosen One,” which devolves into superhero talk. Also, they make their listeners an offer that hopefully some won’t refuse, and discover that everybody wants a bosom for a pillow.

Episode 81: Forests Of The Night by Abigail Hilton

Posted in Abigail Hilton, Fantasy, Short Story on September 13, 2010 by dunesteef

Adel arrived at a hospice, and seemed to be like any ordinary patient, but she endlessly tried to flee, and constantly muttered in German about needing to “verwandeln.” What could she mean?

Also, Big talks a bit about Dean Wesley Smith’s “Killing The Sacred Cows Of Publishing,” and Rish argues with him about them. Then, they play a round of “Two Truths & A Lie,” with a book by Kevin David Anderson hanging in the balance.

Warning: Some of Rish Outfield’s statements in this episode are even more (deliberately?) incendiary than usual. Listen with a grain of salt handy.

Special thanks to Lizanne Herd for producing and narrating today’s story, and to Julie Hoverson for lending her voice. outtakes
