SRD S5E12: The Nothing To Do With The Holidays Show.
Thu, 24 Mar 2022 23:30:00 +0000
For many outlets, the end of the year is a time to be bedecked with holly, evergreen, and the scent of baking spices. At SRD, we prefer to buck tradition and go to the alternate extreme. We’ve forbidden our host, Burlington Showtime, from mentioning any holiday for the duration. That means President’s Day, International Kiss a Puppy Day, and the Fourth of July are all off-limits. Can he make it? You’ll have to tune in to find out. On top of torturing a Hollywood Q-lister, we’re also bringing you a new, fantastical episode of Sam Spruce and all the murder, hauntings, folktales, and Christmas elves (don’t tell Burlington) you’ve come to expect from our madcap team.
This episode features the vocal talents of Kat Evans, Jared McDaris, and Ansel Burch.
This episode features the writing skills of Cassandra Rose, Jared McDaris, and Ansel Burch.

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 12:30:00 +0000
Some stories are too good to be true but so good we’re willing to let go of verity in favor of our own happiness. These legends can take hold of the hearts of a nation, becoming part of the very fabric of its identity. Some of them are just bullshit though. We should probably do something about that.

What a time to be alive when thousands of people can ignore you all at once and forever. It’s all the rage for our age. Chances are good you’re not reading these words right now thanks to the void we shouted it into.

Sherlock in Time: Scandal in Nottingham, Pt 1
Thu, 20 Jan 2022 18:17:42 +0000
Popular culture since 1891 just wouldn’t be quite as popular or as cultured without the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, specifically the one which are now in the public domain and fair for plebs like us to use with abandon. So, please enjoy this mixing of cultured, highbrow literature with time travel silliness and social commentary. Stay tuned for part 2 as, legally speaking, there’s nothing to stop us from doing it again.

It is a fact universally acknowledged that going to a ball leads to drama and just as society today can’t get enough of the Bachelor, it seems the drama between Lady Bucksley and Lord Grishenwald was just as gripping. Will they? Won’t they? Either way, the local set are sure to be watching keenly!

Shoot for the stars we said. Perhaps we never thought anyone would actually follow through on that as a literal life goal.

This spectacular monologue come to us from the Fluffy Foods Network which licensed this piece and this piece only out to ours. Why might they have done that? There’s no telling but we think you’ll agree that there are only a few things more precious in the mind of the average American than pineapple upside down cake and the Fourth of July. We think that this short is likely to remind you of at least one thing that should be right there on the top of your own list of things to hold dear.

We all have our demons. This sketch does too. They’re just pretty literal. You know, super literal. We figure that might actually be a little bit nice if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the figurative stuff going on all over the place.
Also, if you’re checking this out on release day, happy American Thanksgiving. It’s a complicated holiday but it comes with pie. The Production Team of Starlight Radio Dreams would like to acknowledge that the land on which we live and do our work is occupied land unceded by the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. Many other tribes such as the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac, and Fox also called this area home. Their losses and the cost of our current state are too great to be appreciated fully. Let us gather mindful of this debt.

If you could time travel, when would you go? Maybe go back to ancient Turkey to see the construction of Gobekli Tepe to really stick it to those archaeology nerds at work?

There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that dating is hard. It does keep getting harder too with… well, you know.

Here at SRD we love tradition. Mostly because there are few things sillier than sticking to a decision that a dead person made in different circumstances when it’s not doing you any favors.

Starlight Radio Dreams S5E6: "The April Showers Power Hour"
Thu, 01 Jul 2021 17:45:37 +0000
In this episode we learn a great deal about the traditions of the Showtime family and the respect Burlington doesn’t really have for traditions that have worn out their usefulness. We certainly can’t claim that Mr. Showtime is superstitious but he did manage to accept a lot of cryptids and talking animals in this episode which features over an hour of hilarity to keep you busy for at least part of your drive to a small, backyard barbeque. Featured in this Episode, “Samuel Spruce, the Little Wooden Boy: The Legend of Garbage Day” , “Public Domain Adventure Team: Total War” and “Boozlers in the Basement: April” with shorts, Lesser to None and Bigfoot Watch. Written and Directed by Kat Evans, Jared McDaris, Sam Locke and Ansel Burch. Music in “Boozlers in the Basement: April” adapted and performed by Sam Locke. Featuring the vocal talents of Kim Fukawa, Sam Locke, Kat Evans, Jared McDaris and Ansel Burch. Audio Editing by Jared McDaris, Sam Locke and Ansel Burch. The SRD Theme was written and performed by Arne Parrott.

The Showtime Podcast Network has, at best, a tenuous relationship with reality and this month’s cavalcade of cryptids is a testament to our ability to get the best content available even from hosts and presenters who would otherwise be hesitant to release their content outside of blurry podcatchers and the overactive imaginations of people who did see something at some point.

Samuel Spruce, The Little Wooden Boy Ep 3: The Legend of Garbage Day
Thu, 10 Jun 2021 11:30:00 +0000
There comes a time in the life of every little wooden boy when he must leave the confines of his fathers house and go into the world to make something of himself. We’ve been over that with Samuel Spruce. Sadly, making something of himself is a little more complex than it once was and becoming a real boy is seeming farther and farther away. This isn’t going to dampen the spirits of an optimist like Sam though. So, he’s taken a job as a sanitation engineer; a job which is bound to teach him a great deal about society and economy.

Is it still a God complex if you literally create life and control it’s every action? The answer is yes and if you needed that clarification then we have good news! For centuries parents developing manias have found solace in sending their children into the woods to be supervised mostly by slightly older kids. Today this mostly takes the form of summer camp. In this episode of Camp Placeholder some of the Gods, who definitely have complexes, have sent some of their tykes for a developmentally interesting time that you are not going to want to miss.

The dream takes place in a nice place where you feel good and don’t have persistent shame-filled memories to associate with. Then someone comes out from around the corner but surprise, it’s a puppy.

Have you ever sat at your workstation pressing buttons and pulling coffee from the tube only to think, “there’s a lot of stuff I’d do differently if I were in charge around here? The people in charge don’t know how to press buttons as well as I do. Heck, I bet they don’t even know how hard it is to press buttons all day or how often the coffee tube runs out.” Well you’re right. They probably don’t. It’s even true in space. In this episode, the heroic space fighter pilots of Lionstar continue trying to get their spaceships flying. Before they do, they’re going to have to organize a feudal civilization and there’s only one manager available. Written and directed by Jared McDaris.

SRD Presents: Cerddoriaeth Celtica E16: Mallt y Nos
Sun, 25 Oct 2020 18:30:00 +0000
Welcome to Cerddoriaeth Celtica, a companion piece for the Starlight Radio Dreams series “Celtica”. When we conceived of Celtica the desire was to create an adventure serial which used music as part of the action and story. From using music to power Celtica’s magic tools to musical numbers for the big moments, Celtica does exactly that. And Cerddoriaeth Celtica lets us further explore the beauty of Celtic music, both as part of the serial and just for its own sake.
In this episode of Cerddoriaeth Celtica, Karolyn Blake, co writer for Celtica and the actor behind the title character, gets into the spirit of the season by telling the tale of “Mallt y Nos.” She also dives into the folk tradition of Welsh death omens. Spoooooky.

There comes a time in every day when you just need to release your stress into the void. Now there are “experts” who will tell you that the best way to do this is in a productive manner. Letting it all out into kneading dough, doing exercise or something like that is probably what they had in mind. Mary, Sue and Linda may have taken it in a less legally advisable direction.

If you need a little insight into what happened to you in the past, that’s likely a better use for astrology than trying to predict the future anyway. Turns out the stars had a lot to say about your situation and it’s your chance to think a little bit about your place in the cosmos.

SRD Presents: Cerddoriaeth Celtica E15: Rhyfelgyrch Gwŷr Harlech
Sun, 11 Oct 2020 14:30:00 +0000
Welcome to Cerddoriaeth Celtica, a companion piece for the Starlight Radio Dreams series “Celtica”. When we conceived of Celtica the desire was to create an adventure serial which used music as part of the action and story. From using music to power Celtica’s magic tools to musical numbers for the big moments, Celtica does exactly that. And Cerddoriaeth Celtica lets us further explore the beauty of Celtic music, both as part of the serial and just for its own sake.
In this episode of Cerddoriaeth Celtica, Karolyn Blake, co writer for Celtica and the actor behind the title character, sings “Rhyfelgyrch Gwŷr Harlech” and discusses one of the great heroes of Wales, Owain Glyndŵr, the last Welshman to call himself Tywysog Cymru (Prince of Wales). In the serial Celtica, this song was the basis for King Wulfric’s rallying speech to the Britons who had joined the Roman army. We hope it inspires you to fight for your freedoms, whether that’s at the polls or marching in the streets.

In this episode of Cerddoriaeth Celtica, Karolyn Blake, co writer for Celtica and the actor behind the title character, sings “Oro 'se do Bheatha Bhaile" an Irish independence song by Padraig Pearse, based on a folk song that has worn many guises over its long history. Pearse made it a tribute to Grace O'Malley, a woman whose cunning and courage can inspire us to fight our oppressors today.
This episode is the full, extended conversation between Karolyn and Tabitha about the history and legacy of Grace O’Malley.

We’ve been on a bit of a realty show kick lately and what can we say? Sometimes everyone needs a break from the real world and to immerse in something fantastical. You can lose yourself in something that would never happen. If there’s a way to add a veneer of plausibility to that escapism, more the better. So, if you’ve run out of iterations of other reality dating shows to watch, we have some good news for you!

Has anyone ever bought a Sham Wow? I know the ads are a little extreme but what if that guy is just legitimately excited about how cool his rag is? Maybe if we all tried it, we’d be excited too. What I’m saying is, this show is technically an ad but we gave them a pass because… this product may be a little too relevant for some.

SRD Presents: Cerddoriaeth Celtica E13: Tan yn Llŷn Welcome to Cerddoriaeth Celtica, a companion piece for the Starlight Radio Dreams series “Celtica”. When we conceived of Celtica the desire was to create an adventure serial which used music as part of the action and story. From using music to power Celtica’s magic tools to musical numbers for the big moments, Celtica does exactly that. And Cerddoriaeth Celtica lets us further explore the beauty of Celtic music, both as part of the serial and just for its own sake. In this episode of Cerddoriaeth Celtica, Karolyn Blake, co writer for Celtica and the actor behind the title character, sings “Tan yn Llŷn" a Welsh folk song by Plethyn. This song is a tribute to the power that protest and property damage have to change hearts and minds, and it reminds us that the power structures we oppose now have their roots in the distant past. In the show Celtica, Gwynedd and Celtica sang this song when they were planning to blow up the Draugr’s foundry. We framed most of that episode as an homage to this moment in modern Welsh history. Starlight Radio Dreams continues to stand with protesters and to affirm that Black Lives Matter. Keep yourselves safe, and stay well. Host and Artist- Karolyn Blake. Co host: Grant Blake. Producer: Ansel Burch. Special thanks to Plethyn for writing such a stirring, inspiring, beautiful song.

So, there you are; you’ve figured out the perfect way to keep your hair from getting all blown around during the picnic and you are here to socialize and sanitize. Then you look around the group and you realize that everyone is a literal bear. You didn’t think this was supposed to be a bear party but here you are suddenly wishing you’d held back a bit on the honey in your tea earlier. This is like that but if you were ons of the bears.
