“Sing in Me, Holy One, and Through Me” by Rob MacWolf (part 2 of 2)

Mon, 13 May 2024 19:00:00 +0200

The obsidian mansions plume themselves that they need not the sky.

And so the wind must come again to teach them how to die.

The wind shall break their furnaces, and fling their wheels above.

They shall know not how to stop it. They know not its love.

Today’s story is the second and final part of “Sing in Me, Holy One, and Through Me” by Rob MacWolf, who heard it on the wind but couldn’t say where the wind got it. You can find more of his work in anthologies from the Furry Historical Fiction Society, and on his SoFurry gallery.

Read by the author. Musical engineering by Solomon Harries.

Last time, a nameless coyote drifter appeared in a feud-wracked frontier town, and in the lives of Bethany Smith, the town belle, and Luis Huerfano, the hired ranch hand who works for her parents’ rivals. Whenever the stranger sings, anyone within earshot can be compelled to sing with him, even though what they sing is incomprehensible, sometimes with—as in the case of Rafe Rogers, local hired ruffian—psychoanihilatory results. What this coyote wants, and indeed what he is, remains unknown.

“Sing in Me, Holy One, and Through Me” by Rob MacWolf (part 1 of 2)

Mon, 06 May 2024 19:00:00 +0200

Grey mountains gather as the grass grows dry.

More dreadful than its fury is the rapture of the sky.

Miss Bethany is longing for a world she is denied,

But the wind is singing distantly, and leaves nowhere to hide.

Today’s story is the first of two parts of “Sing in Me, Holy One, and Through Me” by Rob MacWolf, who heard it on the wind but couldn’t find a way to fit it into any anthologies from the Furry Historical Fiction Society. You can find more of his work on his SoFurry gallery.

“...and the Sands of the Desert Wash Over the Words” by Pascal Farful (part 2 of 2)

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 19:00:00 +0200

The quest for The Gardens hangs in the balance. And on the horizon, at the edge of the night, a spirit is dancing into the light.

Today’s story is the second and final part of “...and the Sands of the Desert Wash Over the Words” by Pascal Farful, who has caused a shortage in spandex and latex for various reasons that can’t be gone into here. Sorry about that. This story was published in the anthology “In the Light of the Dawn” by the Furry Historical Fiction Society.

Last time, Agathocles and Kleomenes fled the kingdom of Selucia into the wilderness with a stolen map to what Agathocles thinks is the lost Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Unbeknownst to them, they left just in time. The kingdom has fallen, and those who were loyal to Zeuxis, Agothocles’s former ruler, may have decided he is responsible.

Excerpt from “Wolf of Withervale” by Joaquín Baldwin (read by Solomon Harries, part 2 of 2)

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 19:00:00 +0200

A first look at the new fantasy series by artist Joaquín Baldwin, an epic and queer tale of transformation.

Today’s story is the second and final part of “Wolf of Withervale” by Joaquín Baldwin, known for his work at Disney in films like Zootopia and currently writing his own fantasy series, the Noss Saga, touching on themes of sexuality, gender, and transformation, via anthropomorphic themes.

Last time, young Lago had gotten into a fight at school, and fearful of his father finding out, he’d decided to go to his secret hideout—an ancient cellar carved on a boulder behind a derelict cabin—where he could pass the day and also use the nearby creek to wash his clothes and wounds. In the prelude, we had also learned about a wounded fox who was fleeing soldiers and a pack of hounds. The two stories are about to collide.

“Exile from the Land of Giant Turtles” by Gar “Sahoni” Atkins (read by the Author)

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 19:00:00 +0200

You’re listening to The Voice of Dog.  This is Rob MacWolf, your fellow traveler, and Today’s story is “Exile from the Land of Giant Turtles” by Gar “Sahoni” Atkins, an indigenous and queer game designer and writer, you can find this story in the anthology collection In The Light of the Dawn; An Anthology of Antiquity. You can also find his games on his Itch.io bramblewolfgames.

Author’s Note: “This is a magical realism retelling of a bit of an important part of Tsalagi oral history and is regarded as part of our origin as a people. The original story is a very straight-forward historical story with no grand or fantastical elements. And while it might make a dry read as a transcription, when you hear it in Tsalagi, from a language speaker, there is a level of emotion and unspoken context that can be felt in the bones. My hopes in adding the narrative beats I did, the big, fantastical elements, the personal perspective, is an attempt to capture the impressions of some of these like you would with an abstract painting. This is a story meant to be read out loud, tasting the syllables and the emotions they carry. They are the bold colors and brushstrokes of the story as it asks you to consider the perspective of the real people that made that journey. I just hope I captured just some of what this story means.”

“Rune Weaver” by Aelius (read by Solomon Harries, part 2 of 2)

Fri, 11 Aug 2023 19:00:00 +0200

A corrosive miasma is spreading. Time is running out as Maple struggles to comprehend the ancient technology that once contained it.

Today’s story is the second of two parts of “Rune Weaver” by Aelius, who can be found at FurAffinity under the same username, showing both stories and artwork in his gallery. He has also been published twice, in Inhuman Acts and ROAR 8 by FurPlanet.

 Last time, Maple the deer arrived at a site of ancient ruins to investigate a series of mysterious glows appearing in rainstorms. With no sign of the expedition team she was supposed to meet there, she proceeds alone, discovering ancient glyphs covering the entire site, along with a strange metal structure situated over a massive, corrosive pit. Before she could explore further, the stonework she stood on collapsed, sending her plunging toward the pit’s caustic miasma.

“Overnight Flight Bui-Lay” by SignificantOtter (part 2 of 2) [18+]

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 19:00:00 +0200

[18+] While visiting a country that holds onto the backwards ideas of Pokemon as pets and unequal partners, a buizel named Calla struggles to make her own independent way. When her flight home is delayed, she must rely on a human stranger, Avi, to help her through the discriminatory customs of the Kanto airport. However, the two soon find themselves sharing a more intimate connection.

Today’s story is the second and final part of “Overnight Flight Bui-Lay” by SignificantOtter, who writes about Pokémon and kobolds under their penname BuiTales and has been published in anthologies such as Fang 9 by Furplanet. You can find more of their stories as BuiTales on Sofurry.com or mentioned on their twitter, @RunningOtter.

Last time, Calla, an independently traveling buizel, commiserated with a human Avi, as both ran into their own difficulties booking a hotel room in the Kanto airport. Avi’s company didn’t refill his corporate debit card for his last day of travel, while Calla was infuriatingly treated as a second-class citizen requiring a human’s sponsorship to book a hotel room in the backwards country.

They booked a room together, Avi acting as Calla’s sponsor while she paid for the room itself, and then escaped to a pleasant dinner where they talked their troubles away. On returning to the hotel room, Calla guiltily invited Avi to share the single, small bed. There, she realized that the two shared a mutual attraction. Despite her frustration with humans, she made the snap decision to invite the man to explore her body.

Last time,

We met two travelers to an antique land.

Across the haunted stars they came in search—

While newly mated, newly hand in hand—

Of shattered remnant visage in the dirt.

The one has eyes on knowledge and renown

And seeks the truth whatever it may be.

The other only wants to lay them down

And savor fully love’s epitome.

But in the reader’s mind, a guess appears:

This planet’s name is lost, but not unknown.

Look on this tale, ye readers. Don’t despair,

But love your days of love while they’re your own.

That is the moral of our tale today:

“Same as Me” by NightEyes Dayspring (read by Carrizo)

Fri, 10 Jun 2022 19:00:00 +0200

Today’s story is “Same as Me” by NightEyes DaySpring, who is a known troublemaker who is rumored to have a penchant for coffee and an interest in dead, ancient civilizations. He recently published an erotic furry novel called Scars of the Golden Dancer and an collection of adult stories called KNotty Works. Information about his work and where to find him can be found by visiting nighteye.coffee, which links to his website, social media profiles, and galleries.

This story deals with homophobia, bigotry against same sex relationships, and against queer people. While the Voice of Dog strives to bring you stories that cheer, that give hope, that uplift, it is important to understand honestly why we need to be uplifted, and what we need to be uplifted from. Many of us here at the fireside have faced scenes like this in our own past, and with the rise in shockingly homophobic and transphobic political rhetoric in many nations, many of us fear we must soon face them again. This story is to illustrate why Pride Month was and remains necessary. Please remember that you are not alone.

“Vagabond” by TiberiusRings & Fruitz (part 2 of 2)

You’re listening to Pride Month on The Voice of Dog.  This is Rob MacWolf, your fellow traveler, and Today’s story is the second and final part of “Vagabond” by Tiberius Rings & Fruitz, who have co-written their Victorian Age thriller, Come to Dust, and are currently publishing the sequel, Burn down the Tower. Each chapter illustrated by Fruitz.  A third book is currently being written to end the trilogy of Simon King.

A word of caution, while today’s story is intended as a celebration of gay history, mention is made of a character having endured thoughts of self-harm. We at the voice of dog urge you to remember that you are not alone, and to reach out if you need help.

Last time, our narrator Beau began to recount how he left his small town to figure out what it meant to be gay.  On his journey he met friends from the internet who shared their experiences with him.  We left Beau enjoying his time in Flagstaff Arizona with Claude and his gay-poly relationship.

What does it mean to be gay?  Is it rainbows and parades, what you wear, or where you live?  Is it as simple as who you share your bed with? Beau looks back on his life when he wondered these very things and pieces together how he came to understand what it meant, for him, to be a gay man in the 21st century.

“The Hare” a poem by Dan Élan

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 19:00:00 +0200

“The Hare”, a poem by Dan in dedication to NorrRRRrrrRRrr the hare, of Belgium

The hare sits there, the wolves prowl

The hare is silent; the wolves howl

The foxes run swift, hungry growls the bear—

Warm tasty hare smells good in cold air


The hare has a lair, not here, elsewhere…

If the hare could pray, he would utter a prayer

If the hare could swear, then swear would the hare

But the hare is prey, and prey’s prayer is a dare


The hare’s nostrils flare (which is how hares swear)

Boldly he leaps through the cold autumn air!

Quick is the hare! But will he get there?

A hare’s existence is hope and despair


There rises a wind as pursued runs the hare

There blares a horn, and the wolves cry in ire

They see their prey, and ahead, walls of fire

And the hare’s leaping strides take him there.


the hare, she

runs into the fire,

the fire, 

it takes her, 

she is not burned


the hare

leaps into the fire

the fire,

it loves her, 

she is free


And now it is raining, and no one is there

Except for the hare as careful as ever

The rain is a friend, it drowns the pain

Of smelling delicious in the cold autumn air


The hare is there and so is the rain

But some of the others won't rise again

The howlers, the prowlers had better beware

The courage and daring of a scared white hare…

“Where Stories Are Told” by Khaki and Friends

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 19:00:00 +0200

I’d like to take a moment to reflect on this last year we’ve shared.

One year ago the first story aired on The Voice of Dog. The reality of the pandemic had arrived in my country, and all over the world people were feeling isolated and uncertain and powerless. I started this podcast because I wanted to do something about it —anything, just to make something, anything, better for someone. Anyone. 

I decided I wanted to tell people stories. Stories that would give them courage, or hope, and if nothing else, something to look forward to. Even if they didn’t listen to the stories, I still wanted people to know that someone cared enough about them to have a new story for them to enjoy, every time they came back.

The first was, appropriately, “Bad Dog!” by my friend Rob Baird. A story of unfairness, and powerlessness in the face of power — but also a story of defiance and of hope. Many other writers have contributed stories since then. There’s a name for writers who’ve had stories on this podcast, you know. They’re “Friends of the Fireplace” — in early stories I sometimes mentioned that, though I realized I never explained why, and fell out of the habit.

163 stories have appeared on The Voice Of Dog in the last year. 163, by 82 writers — well, 83 now, including me.

Today's story is “Where Stories Are Told”, a riff on the traditional Irish masterpiece “The Humours of Whiskey”, by Khaki, your faithful fireside companion, and friends — and I’d like to take a moment to thank them:

“Rest Less”, a poem by Rob MacWolf

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 19:00:00 +0200

Today I’m reading a poem written by Rob MacWolf, who has actually once been struck by lightning. 

Cold clouds coiling around the pregnant moon.

Night is calling to me. It is rising. It is soon.

Secret scents nocturnal up are swelling, and above

The moon rolls like a mirror of the face of her I love.

I will not go outside tonight, will nor unbar the door.

Much as I love the moon above I love my pillow more.

Dusk depths deepen, but my quilt is just as deep.

Tonight will I lie warm beneath the secret seal of sleep.

Long yards yearning as the night wears on:

A room becomes a furlong after the light is gone.

Strong ways winding on familiar hills

All still to be discovered. When the fire chills

The ashes seem the silver streak across the open plain

When green is gone and blue is gone and black and white remain.

Sweet grass sweating out a liquid cold.

Close clothes fretting, but my will will hold.

Though out upon the mountains I have gone questing oft,

My eyes are very weary and my bed is very soft.

The midnight wind is bracing as a wine of molten red:

I have no need of either. I am already in bed.

Silence sits as even as summer sifted sand,

Peace, forgetfulness, and bliss are all within my hand,

When drifts a wandering whistle across the fluid night,

Its tone is very heavy, its voice is very light.

It carries, calls, and choruses from engine cloud to me.

It rings the glassy silver rails that lead down to the sea.

It howls and harmonizes with the songs of yesterday

That also echoed off the moon. And sleep is far away.

The train is gone, the whistle fades. She will have heard it too.

I am already doing it: I know what I must do.

Tall trees rustling as I unlock the door

Where every night I thrill to think I may return no more.

Wild wind whispers of the wildest paths we trod

Where in moonshadows darkly we may see the face of God.

Brisk breeze bracing on my heavy hanging tongue.

Sward is soft between my toes, the blades are new and young.

Scant breath skitters across my shivering skin.

The leaves smell sweet around me and savory within.

Cold clouds clearing as the moon sails on.

It lights the open threshold, I am already gone.

Wind wakes wildly and ruffles up my fur:

I think I’ll go outside tonight, and take a walk with her.

This story deals with serophobia, which is the stigmatization and discrimination toward people living with HIV, and something the author has experienced themselves. Diagnosed with HIV in 2015, and taking a single pill a day, they are healthy and ‘undetectable’, which means they’re unable to transmit HIV even through unprotected sex. If you or someone you know is recently diagnosed with HIV, make sure to contact your local HIV/AIDS care network for early intervention services, and remember you’re not alone.
