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

Posted in Amanda C. Davis, Fantasy, Horror, Short Story on October 29, 2011 by dunesteef

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

Posted in Fantasy, Horror, Short Story on October 25, 2011 by dunesteef

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.

Posted in Horror, Philip Roberts, Short Story on October 12, 2011 by dunesteef

When a household mishap causes Rudy to lose his finger, he discovers more than just dead tissue: something alive about the severed digit. How could that happen? What does it mean? Where is it going? I just can’t put my finger on it…

Also, Rish about Big say a word or two about the unknown, and many more words about constructive criticism and trying to get better at creative endeavors.

Episode 112: Death And Michelle Jenkins by Christopher Munroe

Posted in Christopher Munroe, Comedy, Fantasy, Horror, Short Story on September 24, 2011 by dunesteef

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

Posted in Comedy, Fantasy, Short Story on September 14, 2011 by dunesteef


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 110: Dark Detour by Lance Young

Posted in Horror, Lance Young, Science Fiction, Short Story on August 30, 2011 by dunesteef


“Don’t touch it! It’s evil!”

For the captain and crew of the Nomad, the derelict spacecraft looks like a great opportunity for salvage. But their little detour may end up costing them a lot more than time or money.
Outtakes
Also, Big and Rish talk afterward. Novel, I know. Rish has been inspired by filmmaker Kevin Smith, and maybe they can get Announcer Man to participate in the show today.

What would Rish Outfield give for a Parsec Award nomination? Would he give…his soul? outtakes

Also, Joshua Reynolds brings us “The Strange Affair of the Sundered Man.” Ameriquetzlan ambassador Ulrich Popoca returns, this time to investigate a baffling case involving a person still alive, despite being–quite literally–half the man he used to be.

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about their separate vacations, including a San Diego Comic-Con that made Rish–almost quite literally–old.

Special thanks to Rich Girardi for producing today’s story and lending his voice to the episode.

Episode 107: Must Have Own Weapons by Edward McKeown

Posted in Action, Adventure, Edward McKeown, Science Fiction, Short Story on July 24, 2011 by dunesteef


When the wombat comes, he’ll find me gone.
Outtakes
Dan Coulter has lost his girlfriend, and cannot find anything to look forward to in life any further. He’s considering putting an end to it once and for all. At that moment, with gun in hand, he sees a rather unusual want ad. The only caveat? Whoever responds to this ad must be able to bring their own weapons. Well, at least Dan can fill that part of the ad, right?

Afterward, Big and Rish talk about Neanderthal accents, the BBC series “Doctor Who,” as well as waxing poetic about time travel once again.
