What's The Story?
Originally released in 2017, What’s The Story? is the passion project of host Ray Elliott, a former magazine fact-checker, who quit his thankless job upon learning that the most popular episode of his favorite show – This American Life – was based on a fabrication. He decides that, at the end of the day, stories are more important than facts, and recruits three other reporters to join him in his effort to uncover “the best version of the truth.” Focusing on a new theme in each episode, the reporters take turns introducing and playing their pre-recorded segments, followed by in-studio discussions that develop into overarching series plot lines – such as one character's mysterious backstory, another's unrequited love, and everyone's frustration over not getting paid. In short, it’s a work of fiction about truth, and the sometimes extreme measures we take to find or avoid it. Although we began production long before entering this so-called era of post-truth, we can’t help but note the connection. Nevertheless, we don’t claim to make any profound statement (though if you find one, let us know).

How To Succeed in Evil: The Original Podcast Episodes
How to Succeed in Evil--Original Podcast Episodes are best thought of as notes and sketches for the novel length work How to Succeed in Evil:The Novel also available on podiobooks.com. This is not to take anything away from these episodes, the first 10 of which won a Parsec Award. Semi- Spoiler Alert: These episodes cover longer arc of story than the novel. Some of the stuff that happens in the podcasts might make it into a future novel. Then again, it might not. But then again, who cares. Shakespeare gave away the plot of most of his plays in the first 10 lines and it turned out okay for him.

Kingdom Paf
Cette oeuvre est une fiction, et les protagonistes sont de purs délires issus d'esprits tordus: toute ressemblance avec des personnes existantes ou ayant existé est à prendre au trente-sixième degré et ne doit bien évidement pas être prise au sérieux, tout comme l'ensemble de ces inepties d'ailleurs.
