Listen Rinse Repeat – REVIEW challenge
Songbird Reviews Songbirding
Soft crunching sounds as someone walks through forest undergrowth, with the sound of birds
singing in the background. The steps slow as INTERVIEWER softly speaks
INTERVIEWER: Alright, I’m here today looking for a songbird. That bird looks like it’s
singing, so it’s probably a songbird, right? Okay, here goes…I’m now going to cast ‘speak with
animals’ to communicate with this bird.
Sounds of spellcasting.
INTERVIEWER: Alright, then. Hello, bird. We’re here, in a forest where Rob Porter has
recorded birdsong for his podcast, Songbirding. I have one question for you: What is your review
of Songbirding?
BIRD: IT’S GOOD!

Review - Teleportation Device

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 01:43:45 +0000

This is Januae's review of the teleportation device. Until the review gets away from him.

Written, produced, and performed by David S. Dear

http://ninthworldjournal.com

TRANSCRIPT

I am Januae, and this is my review of the teleportation device.

I cannot give it a favorable review, as it is only good for one use.

Perhaps my negative review should be for the Veilwardens and the Ustiliator that caused me to jaunt randomly. The ritual they performed on me made things worse.

In fact, I would give jaunting randomly a very unfavorable review. It is dangerous and unpredictable. I do not recommend it.

Jaunting randomly: I give it one star.

Poem for PodRevDay

I heard a podcast yesterday
That made me feel more than okay
If only there were some way
I could make them smile today.

I know just what you can do,
And it’s super easy, too!
What could it be? Well, here’s a clue:
It starts with writing a review

Of course! That’s it! I’ll do it now.
No, you don’t have to tell me how.
I’ll pop onto a podcast site
And say, “This podcast does things right!”

That’s a great start, and more than some,
But still I’d say you’ve just begun.
How can that be? What could I do,
Except to write a nice review?

Each time you see it and press play
This podcast brightens up your day,
So why not go the extra mile
To really make them feel worthwhile?

It’s free, you see, to spread the word
To really get that podcast heard.
Share your review--And, well, hey,
What better time than PodRevDay?

[Podcast Review Day is the eighth of every month. To participate, simply share your podcast reviews online that day with hashtag PodRevDay.]

PAUL
It's the most important meal of the day, Allison.
ALLISON
Breakfast is gross. Who can eat that early?
PAUL
Well you've essentially starved your body for eight hours, so you're being cruel to your body.
ALLISON
Since when do you eat breakfast anyway, Paul? You don't get up until 11. Like a damn teenager.
CORAL
Hey, this damn teenager gets up at seven.
PAUL
You might be a bit more pleasant in the morning if you actually ate something.
ALLISON
Really, Paul?
PAUL and ALLISON ad-lib, anything can be said as they are not listening to each other
CORAL
You can't blame a soul for trying. So there's your review of the importance of breakfast, if you can call it that. That was my parents Allison Baxter and Paul Ellis. I'm Coral Baxter-Ellis and you can catch our podcast Deconstructive Criticism starting this fall.

There once was a salamander named Sally, quite obviously. Not
so obviously, an evil wizard cast a spell on him which caused
him to slowly nerf over time.

One day Sally went to work out at Hedge the Hedgehog's gym to
stop the nerfing, but he didn't have a membership. So he
asked to speak to Hedge. Hedge owns the gym. Quite obviously.

SALLY
Hey Hedge,

NARRATOR
Sally said,

SALLY (CONT'D)
How can I get a membership at this gym?

HEDGE
Can you bench press over 50 pounds?

SALLY
Can I?

NARRATOR
And Sally proceeded to bench press two hundred fifty pounds!
Without even a spotter!

So Hedge gave Sally a membership and they worked out together happily ever after.

TRANSCRIPT

ALICE (not buying the argument but still polite) How do you know that you’re mad?”
CAT To begin with, a dog’s not mad. You grant that?
ALICE I suppose so.
CAT Well, then, you see, a dog growls when it’s angry, and wags its tail when it’s pleased. Now I growl when I’m pleased, and wag my tail when I’m angry. Therefore I’m mad.
ALICE I call it purring, not growling.
CAT Call it what you like. Do you play croquet with the Queen to-day?
ALICE I should like it very much, but I haven’t been invited yet.
CAT You’ll see me there then. (vanishes, sound effect)
ALICE (not very surprised) Oh.

TRANSCRIPT

Once upon a time, there was a prince. No wait, princes are dull. There was a farm girl. Nah… All right, once upon a time there was a small paper clip curious about the world. One day, the small paper clip was selected to hold a report together. The paper clip (along with the report) was sent on a journey across the vast office landscape, seeing enormous desks and computers, chairs and coffee mugs along the way. That night, the small paper clip lay on a tray among their new friends and looked up at the ceiling high above. ”Tomorrow”, they thought, ”tomorrow I might go on a new adventure”. Happy and tired, they settled in to sleep. Shh. Don’t wake ’em now… Good night.

Sit in the car with him and listen to him sing harmonies with the radio. Give him an hour alone and he’ll come find you because he wrote a spooky story. He’ll read it in a creepy voice.

TRANSCRIPT

It began when I awoke to the unpleasant sensation of a prickling within my right ear. It felt as though something was scritch-scratching away upon my eardrum like a pen upon paper. I tried to clear it, but the sensation would not cease. The longer it continued, the more I was certain that some living thing was burrowing into me, scritch-scratching away at my flesh and my sanity.
The doctor who checked said my inner ear is inflamed, but clear. No foreign object, no thing, is there.
I should be reassured. The prickling has subsided to no more than an occasional flicker of a whisper. I twitch now and then.
The dreams, though. What do I do about the dreams? The damp earth between my sheets? The soil between my teeth?
Sorry, what was I saying? Oh, I remember now. Yes. I was just asking: Would you like to see my garden?

Things you don't dare think about

This episode is not explicit.

Written and performed by Arthur Gnarl.


TRANSCRIPT

You know the "shadow people" in the corner of your eye
It's your brain protecting you from the real things

Time travellers created 2020 as we know it in order to prevent something worse in 2021.
They failed.

“No dessert until you eat your greens” said mother as I forced myself to take another bite.
I always liked the Greens, but I suppose mother was right, they were dreadful neighbours.

Harlan Guthrie is a creative, nerdy dynamo. Give him a meal, he wants to know how it was made. What temperature was the oven, he’ll say. Was that tossed with olive oil? Sit in the car with him and listen to him sing harmonies with the radio. Give him an hour alone and he’ll come find you because he wrote a spooky story. He’ll read it in a creepy voice. Wait too long in the line at the grocery store and he’ll turn to you with a riddle, or beg to be told one.

TRANSCRIPT

MADONNA SPECTACLE, NOW OLD
Do you recognize my voice? I don’t blame you if you don’t. It’s me: Madonna Spectacle. I’ve had a
long life. Some parts have been really hard.

MINDY, IN THE PAST
A wheelchair isn’t the end of the world! Listen, I’m gonna sew you a costume which comes off
when you spin the wheelchair around, like one spin and your whole outfit is different! It’s gonna be
magic!

MADONNA SPECTACLE, NOW OLD
Some parts have been very easy.

FELIPE
My folks threw me out. I don’t have anywhere to go. Maybe I can... live with you for a while?

MADONNA SPECTACLE, IN THE PAST
Of course you can.

MINDY, IN THE SAME PAST
For as long as you want.

MADONNA SPECTACLE, IN THE PAST
If you want us to, we can be your parents.

MADONNA SPECTACLE, NOW OLD
But all has to come to an end. I’ve seen my kids fly off, to make new and better lives for
themselves. And now, it’s my turn. Madonna Spectacle’s final performance. Tearing off layer after
layer of fantastic dresses, and when the final one comes off... there’s no one there. Just emptiness.
And then the lights go out.

THE END

TRANSCRIPT

MADONNA SPECTACLE
Mindy wants me to meet her parents, but she doesn’t want them to know I’m her boyfriend, she
wants to find out if they like me first – oh yeah, Mindy and I are a couple! So we go to
Massachusetts and I turn up first pretending to be her friend Charlie from Austin. Which is a really
stupid idea, because I can’t do an Austin accent to save my life.

MINDY, ARRIVING AT HER FOLKS
Is he already here? What do you think about him?

MADONNA SPECTACLE
Meanwhile, her mom has been so convinced by my straight-dude charms, combined with a glass or
two too much, she’s decided to come on to me by locking the both of us in a broom closet.

MINDY, ARRIVING AT HER FOLKS
Dad – where’s mom and Maddy – I mean, Charlie?

MADONNA SPECTACLE
I escape in the nick of time, Mindy’s dad catches her calling me “Maddy”, and the cat’s finally out
of the bag. Mindy’s mom is ticked off, but we put her to bed. Mindy’s dad really likes me.
That night, in the bedroom, Madonna Spectacle does a private rendition of “Crazy For You”, only
for Mindy, the most special person in my whole entire life.

TRANSCRIPT

MADONNA SPECTACLE
Dolly is dying. I go home. Sit by her bed. I don’t want to, but I do it.

DOLLY, DYING
You were always my special one.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
She’s buttering me up.

DOLLY, DYING
In my eyes, you could do no wrong.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
She’s not very good at it. I remember how it was, how I disgusted her.

DOLLY, DYING
I’ve been so proud of you honey, everything you’ve achieved, with that fag-thing.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
She means “drag-thing”. But her mistake speaks volumes.

DOLLY, DYING
I always knew you’d make it big!

MADONNA SPECTACLE
She wants me to forgive her. She wants to die knowing she was a good mom. She wasn’t.

DOLLY, DYING
I love you, honey.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
Should I fulfill the wish of a dying woman? Or let the old hag rot in her own bad conscience?

DOLLY, DYING
Don’t you love me too?

MADONNA SPECTACLE, BEING THE ONLY PERSON SHE CAN BE
I love you too, mom. I always did.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
Dolly dies. I go home. I feel lighter. I make a new set. “Justify My Love”.

TRANSCRIPT

MADONNA SPECTACLE
I can do it. I’m going on stage. Madonna Spectacle is in demand, and I am going to deliver.
I can’t do it. Halfway through my set, I have to quit. It’s the most humiliating thing I’ve ever
experienced.

MINDY
Maddy, you’ve got to look after yourself.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
I don’t want to look after myself. I never learned how anyway. I want to live.

MINDY
You’re overbooking. Learn to master this thing.

MADONNA
I tell everyone I’m taking a sabbatical. They think I’m going to drug rehab. It’s not drugs. It’s my
own body. I have to relearn how I work. Four months later, I’m ready to tell people. Madonna
Spectacle is back. She has a neurological illness. And she’s decided to own it.

TRANSCRIPT

MADONNA SPECTACLE
One day, as I’m performing my new set, “Beautiful Stranger”, I lose my balance and fall into the
auditorium. I make it a joke, but the guy whose glasses I broke doesn’t think it’s funny. Mindy is
worried.

MINDY
You should go see a doctor.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
My doctor doesn’t know what it is. I don’t like mysteries. He sends me to a neurologist. She knocks
on my knee with a hammer, orders a spinal tap and gives me an MRI.

NEUROLOGIST
While we wait for the results to come back, why don’t you tell me about this stage persona of
yours?

MADONNA SPECTACLE, TO THE NEUROLOGIST
Madonna Spectacle. She doesn’t listen to anyone. It’s like I don’t even control her. She’s got her
own mind.

NEUROLOGIST
Hm. She certainly does. The results are back. Please sit.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
I stand. She tells me what it is. I am Madonna Spectacle. She is me. Yet, I’m starting to hate her. I
want my life back.

TRANSCRIPT

MADONNA SPECTACLE
I keep winning drag contests. I headline bigger and bigger drag shows. Madonna Spectacle is
invincible. My competitors? I read them! All in good fun. I badmouth them to event coordinators.
Make up lies, say that they steal from the cash register. I get their spots. All part of the game. I earn
money. I can live off being a drag queen. This is what it was all for. But I have this feeling... Mindy
calls. She doesn’t want to hang anymore.

MINDY, ON THE PHONE
I don’t know you! You’re cruel and heartless. Who are you?

MADONNA SPECTACLE
I call up everyone I’ve hurt and apologize. I decide I want to be a ray of light. I talk to my favorite
drag club and work with them to set up a mentoring scheme for young drag artists. Mindy calls.

MINDY, ON THE PHONE
Uhm... What you’re doing is really cool. Would you wanna... hang?

MINDY, ON THE PHONE
Maddy? It’s Mindy! I just wanted to say: Go girl! You win that tri-state pageant! Also, you’re my
favorite person in the whole, wide world.

CLICK.

MINDY, ON THE PHONE, A FEW DAYS LATER
OH MY GOD! I saw you online! That was... Guuuuurl! Also, how were the parties? Did you meet
anyone? I’m so jealous! Oh my god you’re not just a Queen, you’re a star!

MADONNA SPECTACLE
Know what? When I fell over and my butt showed and everyone laughed and I won anyway, I had
an epiphany. I’m gonna be a comedy Queen. I’ve always been scared of not being able to make
people laugh, but it’s really not that hard. Just fall over and show your butt. I've had the taste for
danger.

TRANSCRIPT 
 
MADONNA SPECTACLE
I’m competing in a tri-state drag pageant. There’s a huge, shiny, phallic trophy and I want it.
I sing “You’ll see”. I don’t lip-sync, I sing. It’s my thing.
I have no monitor! I gesture to the sound guy. I try to make the gesturing into a dance move. He
doesn’t get it. I forget my choreography. Now I’m singing out of key and trying to make up dance
moves. I forget the lyrics.
I kick the monitor. My heel breaks. I try to walk off, but suddenly my leg gives. I fall. My dress
tears. The audience laughs. Then Madonna appears to me in the wings:
 
MADONNA SPECTACLE AS MADONNA, WHISPERING
Madonna Spectacle... you don't need anyone at all!
 
MADONNA SPECTACLE
I have a flash of inspiration, and as I drag my sorry drag-queen ass off the stage, I shout:
 
MADONNA SPECTACLE, SHOUTING, TEARY EYED AND BROKEN*
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive!
 
MADONNA SPECTACLE
They love me! They think it’s a comedy routine. I don’t get the trophy. I’m a genius. I’m not. I just
have a really cool guardian angel.

I don’t know why she thinks I’m so stupid. I have done nothing else but navigate her lies since the nurse dried me clean of amniotic fluid and Dolly promised my dad there was absolutely no way I could belong to the mail man. I own half a house. I can only see through one eye. Passes after a day or so. Doctor says it’s nothing.
I get a lawyer. Dolly has to sell. I buy a little studio flat on the edge of town. There’s even money left for a new outfit. A true copy of Madonna’s cone bra from 1990. I am... Madonna Spectacle!

DOLLY, EX-MOM, NOW TRAITOR
Listen, honey. Here’s 200 dollars. I know it’s just a disease, but I can’t have a sick person in my house, can I? It just makes me feel unsafe. You can always come back if you stop... you know... bein’ a deviant. Now, get!

MADONNA SPECTACLE
Screw you Dolly, ex-mom, now traitor. I arrive in the big city, more exhausted than I thought I’d be (all I’ve done is sit on a bus). My suitcase is full of dresses I stole from Dolly and I’ve been practicing in front of a mirror.

MADONNA SPECTACLE, FROM MADONNA’S “LIVE TO TELL
“I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well”

MADONNA SPECTACLE
I even came up with a new name. Madonna Spectacle! You can survive anything if you have pizzazz!

TRANSCRIPT

MADONNA SPECTACLE
In the beginning, there was darkness. I’m not formed yet. I’m a writhing mass of nerves hunched over a puke bucket. But then a voice whispers:

MADONNA SPECTACLE, WHISPERING
“Give me the light!”

MADONNA SPECTACLE
And suddenly, a beam of light pierces the darkness and I appear, fully formed, in a dress so bejeweled it’s to die for and a boa with feathers from a Phoenix! I am born, and my name is Madonna Spectacle!
I sing “Vogue” and I am beautiful.

Strange Eggs - Chicken

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 01:20:00 +0000

Chickens lay strange eggs.

This episode is not explicit.

Story by PRRP, Music by Mx Michael

https://www.patreon.com/freckle

TRANSCRIPT

Chickens lay edible eggs.

Okay get this. Chickens are basically tiny modern dinosaurs, that another species subsists off of for almost every single meal. They’ll use chicken eggs for Cakes, for Quiche, or even just eat them plain! They’ll cook them through, or eat them raw if they’re boxing, they show no restraint. In fact, this other species, who says not to inject too personal of details into a facts-based podcast, even have basically ENSLAVED the chicken, due to its perceived evolutionary treat. How’s that for facts, huh? Is THAT too personal? You want more egg facts now? Hey, maybe Chickens don’t lay strange eggs, maybe YOU are just over reliant on your GLUTTONY and DOMINANCE to ever consider an alternative. There, now you have a complete whole dozen eggs to choose from, you can just scarf ‘em down. Eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs!!!

Humans eat strange eggs.

COOPER: I think that's ""Bagels and Brunettes,"" sir.

PRESIDENT: Are you sure? It ought to be "Burgers and Broads." Much better title.

JENKINS: The truth is, sir, it's difficult to tell which of our podcast's many continuing series is most popular.

PRESIDENT: Well, however we do it, we have to crush the competition.

COOPER: What competition's that, sir?

PRESIDENT: All the other shows like ours!

JENKINS: Shows featuring bizarrely random content in under a minute?

PRESIDENT: Right!

TRANSCRIPT

Whelks lay connected eggs.

I’ve gotten feedback that my last couple episodes haven’t been as informative as my previous ones. I’m trying my best. It’s an audio medium and I’m trying to describe things that are really pictorial. The whelk is like a snail whose eggs are all attached. If you wanna find out what this is, just Google “mermaid necklace” and you’ll find a picture of what I’m talking about. We have a limited amount of time, and it doesn’t behoove me to explain in excruciating detail everything about these eggs.

Oh, I’ve gotta go, Anikah. I see some tourists coming up to my produce stand. I’ll talk to you soon.

Yesterday a tourist off the Queen of the Gulls stopped me on Main Street and asked about a public restroom.

Really? What’d you say?

"Well," I said. "You can always use the one in George's Antiques Shop.”
I pointed across the street to the ramshackle little shop and the woman turned to go. "Oh, and by the way," I shouted to her, "George sometimes likes to hide behind the giant Oosik bones when he sees someone he doesn't know."

Oh, George and his oosiks!

"Oosik?" she asked.
"Yeah. Walrus penis bones. He has quite a collection behind the obituaries and the handcuffs and the… You know what? Never mind. You’ll be fine."

Did she go in?

Three-fer Assasination

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 01:15:00 +0000

Seward was almost killed the same night as Lincoln.

This episode is not explicit.

Voiced by Michael Crowley and Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska” and written by Kari Aguila.

www.brokenalaskapodcast.com

TRANSCRIPT

Three-Fer Assasination.

You’ve all heard about how Secretary of State Seward bought Alaska in 1867 and was laughed at for the rest of his life, but it should also be remembered that he was a close friend of President Abraham Lincoln, and was nearly assassinated the same night as Lincoln.

On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth loaded his gun and headed to the Ford’s Theater, George Atzerodt chickened out before trying to kill Vice President Johnson, and Lewis Powell walked into Secretary Seward’s bedroom and slashed him to ribbons with a knife.

He survived, but it was planned to be a three-fer assassination!

Living here in Broken, Alaska, we know there are many sides to every person, even Secretary Seward. Maybe even you.

Snakes lay leathery eggs.

Snake eggs are always oblong and soft, kind of like the deflated balloon you find still tied to the mailbox a week after no one showed up to your birthday party, because it it turned out no one actually got the invitations you sent, because you used the outdated 34 cent stamps that were lying around, not the Forever Stamps, but how were you to know, and at the time you were so proud that you sent the invites all by yourself but it you just failed again, and the letters were all returned to sender on the same day in a big batch, the worst belated present.

Anyway they use their egg tooth to break out of them.

TRANSCRIPT

Ny-ålesund.

Hello, Brick, why are you walking through Broken, Alaska with a briefcase in one hand and your passport in the other.

Ever feel like there are too many people in Broken?

Well, there are only 71 of us.

Let me tell you about Ny-ålesund. It’s the world’s northernmost town and has a permanent population of just 35. It’s technically part of Norway, but thanks to an international treaty, anyone can move there – no visa, no green card, no questions asked.

You thinking about going up there?

I’m so tired of all the bureaucratic red tape in Broken, and all the people poopooing my ideas all the time, I’m going to move there and see if they will appreciate me.

Well, if you don’t need a visa, or green card, or anything, why are you bringing your passport?

I might want to come back.

See you later, Brick.

The following was found written on an undated postcard sent from the Motel Americana, undated:

Dear Jack,

Some words of advice from the open road:

Squeeze that fish too tight and it’ll slip right out of your hands.

Chad. Never trust a chad.

Whenever possible work at the intersection of all intersections.

Schedule all the real, real dirty work for the Friday before Easter.

Salad will kill you more slowly than red meat, increasing the possibility for painful illness or depression due to the loss of friends and family and everything that brought one comfort in the old world.

Best to the Family,
A. Cloud

TRANSCRIPT

Hoopoes lay smelly eggs.

Like their namesake, unless I’m pronouncing it wrong, they’re a bird that will lay a smelly, brown fluid across their egg batch, to kind of prevent predators and stuff from wanting to look at them, because they’re so nasty and disgusting. It makes them smell like bacteria and rotting meat. I remember in the summer, you did not want to get outside the house when it got too warm, because of all the animals, so I can only imagine how repulsive these eggs seem. They’re normally blue, but they make them all gross and brown.

Sheriff Jim

Fri, 22 May 2020 01:20:00 +0000

How Sheriff Jim came up with the idea for the bugle warning system.

TRANSCRIPT

Sheriff Jim.

Sheriff Jim keeps the streets of Broken, Alaska safe, and last year, he came up with a brilliant idea. Broken isn't big enough to have a 911 system, and people were having a tough time remembering his new cell number (it's 907-397-9037, by the way). Anyway, Sheriff Jim thought long and hard about what to do, and the answer came to him like a bolt of lightning in the middle of the night. He remembered the days of his youth in Kansas, when an air-raid siren was an effective way to alert the whole town of danger, so why not develop a similar system in Broken?

An air-raid siren would cost too much, and it seemed a bit extravagant to have people cranking it up every time they needed the Sheriff, so Jim decided to go with something smaller. That's why you see the shiny brass bugles nailed to poles all around town. If you get in a pinch and need a hand, just give a bugle a big blow, and Sheriff Jim will come running.

There are more plastic flamingos in the world than real flamingos. There are more tigers in captivity in the US than in the rest of the world. There are also more Juggalos, fans of the Insane Clown Posse, then there are polar bears. Now would be a good time to mention that I am not liable for your therapy bills.

Bitterness and loneliness play freeze tag
Throughout a sleepless night.

Her words linger like a melody,
As sunrise ignites hope for the new day.

TRANSCRIPT

ADHD is one of those disorders that isn’t getting a ton of attention, right now, when people talk about quarantine, but it’s actually very hard.
Don’t think about it like, oh, squirrel, or being hyperactive. It’s an executive functioning disorder, so your ability to form a plan, follow it through, and then assess how well it went, is damaged, on a fundamental level. That makes things like working from home, or digital learning, really, really difficult.
Give people some respect, and ask them if there are ways you can help structure their day a little bit. And accept help, if it’s offered. You matter.

A PSA regarding word usage.

Written by Ahab Cloud, Performed by Jack Same

Ahab Cloud is an old acquaintance of Jack's.

www.motelamericanapodcast.com

TRANSCRIPT

The following was found written on an undated postcard sent from the Motel Americana, undated:

Dear Jack,


The following words have been trademarked by the Flaming Tiger greeting card company: “Love,” “Grace,” “Loss,” “Sorry,” “Life,” and “Time.” You may still use these words in everyday conversations, but when writing them, you must include quotation marks and the proper citation. Larry Humpwilde, the CEO of the company, made the following statement: “The new trademarks on these old, nearly meaningless words will reinvigorate the common human experience.” The experts suggest that these words will carry a larger emotional impact now that they can be purchased in designer boutiques. The Flaming Tiger company plans to release more affordable versions to denote less intense expressions of emotion. There is, of course, the risk of counterfeit cards, already said to be circulating through the Chinatowns of the nation. Chairman Humpwilde despises these fraudulent vendors, stating, “Counterfeits could have dangerous psychological implications. Imagine finding out that the ‘love’ you felt was not true ‘love’ TM. Imagine that your experience of “life” TM was somehow false.

Yours,
Ahab Cloud

TRANSCRIPT 
 
Lacewings lay dangly eggs.
 
The green lacewing attaches its eggs to the underside of leaves, using hair-like strings of silk, so that their equally green eggs are just dangling around for all to see. If I had to compare to something you’d recognize, a group of them kind of look like the prongs of those headscratchers my uncle used to use all the time. So I guess just be careful not to keep these eggs too close to your recliner, or you’ll be in for a hairy surprise! Oh, and when they hatch, they basically just eat whatever they can that’s in closest proximity, and they might even leak acid to help digest and kill things. So that’s another reason to keep them at arm’s length. Say goodbye to your follicles otherwise! Haha.

We have no children in Broken, Alaska, but we do have Margaret Hall at 92 years old. And she’s still out leading tours down the frothy rapids of the Jackhole River. When I asked her what she thinks about catching Covid19, she just snorted a laugh and said,

“You mean, can it catch me!? Now scoot outta here, sweet cheeks, I gotta get home to my boy-toy, Tyler. He’s been working his glutes extra hard this week on the treadmill, and I’m gonna see if I can bounce a quarter off ‘em.”

I flipped her a Kennedy half-dollar and told her to bounce it two times for me.

Our youngest torments me. While hardly lacking for toys or entertainment, he wishes only to watch interminable recordings of the unboxing of toys on... I shan't say the name of the website, for it has become a curse to mine ears. And the eggs... oh, the surprise eggs. Sanity lingers as a memory.

Always, Eullabelle

Believe in a Sight Unseen

Tue, 12 May 2020 16:20:00 +0000

People don't believe in faeries anymore, but maybe we should.

This episode is made for kids.

Written and performed by Jackie Jorgenson

Jackie Jorgenson is a 5x award-winning actor with comedy and classical training. She is also a 3x award-winning screenwriter with a focus on comedy, drama, and fantasy.

TRANSCRIPT

People these days don't believe in me. They say fairies are only for storybooks. But we're here - in the fields, in the forests, by the ponds, and by the cliffs. We're the ones who leave those so-called fairy rings in your backyard - fertile crescents of plush grass. And we're the ones your pet stops to stare at. Just because you can't see me doesn't mean I'm not there. In fact, on a still summer night when you look up at the sky or down at the land, don't be surprised if one of those fireflies has a rainbow trail.

Black-capped Chickadee

Tue, 12 May 2020 16:15:00 +0000

This is the call of the Black-capped Chickadee.

This episode is not explicit.

Recorded and narrated by Rob Porter.

Hi! My name is Rob.

I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

Keynote: ""The stratocumulus cloud? Overrated. The altostratus cloud? Boring. The cumulonimbus is by far the coolest, easily the most interesting, but dangerous clouds you’ll ever see. These supercells are thunderstorms on steroids, billowing upward and rotating quick, at times spawning tornados, gale force winds, and hail the size of a softball. You simply will not believe your eyes until you’ve looked at the sky, and gazed at the cumulonimbus…”

TRANSCRIPT

On the surface of a remote and frozen planet, a lone researcher
named Sarah watches as dark spots form on the exterior wall
of her laboratory.
The spots slide down the wall and coalesce into a puddle when they reach the floor. As if directed, this puddle moves towards Sarah.
Sarah makes hurried notes before jumping up on a chair.
When the puddle reaches her chair, it forms vertical tendrils and
climbs up the chair’s legs.

Strange Eggs - Jawfish

Sun, 10 May 2020 17:45:00 +0000

Jawfish lay strange eggs.

This episode is not explicit.

Story by Kenneth Eckle, Music by Mx Michael

https://www.patreon.com/freckle

TRANSCRIPT

Jawfish lay jawful(?) eggs.

Jawfish, especially the Yellowhead Jawfish, are a type of animal called a Mouthbrooder. As you may have guessed, this means that the male jawfish will fertilize, and then collect all something-like-400 eggs into his mouth, where he’ll wait for about a week, starving himself because, turns out, it’s hard to eat when you’re already stuffed to the, um, gills, with caviar. Then, the eggs all hatch in there, which must be just the strangest sensation. I’ve only ever fit, at most, like 30 grapes in my mouth at once, and when they popped, they were not alive.

Jawfish lay strange eggs.

Do I dare approach it? When I peek around, there's nothing on the other side. Still, I take a step up. The wind stirs. Another step. Now it howls. Another step. It blows steady against my back pushing me onward. Another step. Another step. Another step. I open the door. The wind lifts me up off my feet and guides me over the threshold… and everything’s changed.

TRANSCRIPT

Seward’s Folly.

What are you reading, Mark?

I thought the cats and I would learn about U.S. Secretary of State, William H. Seward.

I heard that guy was a weirdo.

Most people thought he was a bit weird. See, he bought the Alaskan territory from Russia for at the time, a measly $7 million. It was cold, sparsely populated, and didn’t show much promise. Congress people laughed and laughed, and called the whole Alaskan purchase “Seward’s Folly”.

See, sounds like a looser.

Seward died a few years later, and went to his grave thinking he was America’s biggest loser for buying Alaska. But, in 1896, they found gold in the Klondike.

So, he never knew his Alaska purchase was an amazing deal?

Not in his life.

Wow.

Anxiety is more than feeling nervous.
Pretty much everyone feels at least a little nervous, just now. Use those nerves, to remind yourself to stay home and wash your hands.
But anxiety can be like a grinding, constant Eeyore cloud overhead, or it can be a specific pattern of thoughts that you just cannot stop.
It’s more self-destructive than simple nerves.
The best thing that you can do is to reassure people that you care about them and that their experience is valid. And the same for yourself. You matter.

The math was triple-checked, the machines were calibrated, and the animal testing had been a success. He wished he had someone by his side to celebrate. Soon, that wish would come true. He pulled the lever.
The super-magnet emitted a whomping sound like a mating call going out into the world. If he couldn’t be a chick magnet, he wanted to build one. It had to work!
Suddenly, a long, slender, feminine arm slapped against the wall of the machine, torn away from its owner. Then someone’s foot. Someone else’s arm. A head. Two. Three. So many more.
He fell to his knees as a wave of flesh blanketed the horizon.

Failure to change your flight path will result in an abrupt cessation of toaster oven privileges, which, given the condition your cheese-on-a Pop-Tart experiment left it in, are already tenuous.

In the pre-coital neon
He walked across the carpet
Of their hourly rate room
To break every film convention and cliche
He could of about such matters
And kissed her.
She let him.

White-throated Sparrow

Wed, 06 May 2020 00:50:00 +0000

This is the song of the White-throated Sparrow.

This episode is not explicit.

Recorded and narrated by Rob Porter.

Hi! My name is Rob.

I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

Heather

Sun, 03 May 2020 20:00:00 +0000

There is more to Heather than just being the Head of the City Council.

This episode is not explicit.

Voiced by Kay Lavergne Jaz and Kari Aguila of “Broken, Alaska” and written by Kari Aguila.

www.brokenalaskapodcast.com

TRANSCRIPT

Heather.

Heather said she was going to get that pothole fixed, but she didn’t.

Heather’s been in Broken, Alaska a long time, but she was born in Juneau.

I didn’t know that.

She was only ten when her mom died.

That’s sad.

Then her dad, trying to hide from his grief, moved them both to Broken. Eventually, Heather graduated from our very own Warren G. Harding High School. She was so excited to get a college scholarship from the University of Washington!

Wow.

After years of taking care of her dad, she says when she finally left, it felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders, and she could breathe for the first time. Then, after only two years at school, Heather’s dad got sick, and she had to come back and take care of him again. More years passed and by the time he finally died, her dreams were squashed and any hopes of returning to school vanished.

I didn’t know that either.

Yeah, most of the time we just think of Heather as the Head of the City Council. But, there’s more than meets the eye there.

SUIT: The punchline is less important than what the context of what the joke was, and the harsh reality is that you stink.
BOB: Well, yeah suit, because I haven't had a shower because I've been stuck inside - Whoah! Whoah! Why is stuff turning - WATER! What are you doing?
SUIT: Don't worry, Bob. I have an internal sanitization system to make sure that I do not stink.

Margaret Hall, Part 5

Margaret Hall finds something strange in the woods around Broken.

TRANSCRIPT

Margaret Hall. Part 5

Margaret Hall was bruised and battered when she walked back into Broken, Alaska the next day. She scoffed at the help her neighbors offered, and was back on the river the following week, guiding a bunch of tourists from Illinois down the frothy Jackhole River.

If you see Margaret down in the Twisted Dinghy one night, ask her about it. She enjoys telling the story of the night she met the giant creature of the forest. Offer to buy her a beer or three and she'll even act out the way the creature howled and snarled as he tried to shake her from that tree. You can almost imagine being out there with her.

But, as the evening draws to a close, you'll notice Margaret get a little quieter, and a little pensive. She'll get a far-away look in her eyes and you'll know she's thinking about him; respecting his strength, his survival. Margaret Hall fell a little bit in love that night.

TRANSCRIPT

Margaret Hall. Part 4

Finally, the creature stopped rocking the massive Sitka Spruce. Margaret heard him panting as he backed away from the tree. She looked down at him and he looked up at her and for the briefest moment, their eyes met.

Now, Margaret can't say for sure what that mysterious creature was thinking in that moment, but the way she tells it, she saw something akin to respect in his eyes. He stared at her, heaved a sigh, and maybe, just maybe, nodded a bit before turning and running back the way he had come. The wind kicked up, and the clouds quickly pulled closed the curtain on moonlight, plunging the forest into darkness again.

TRANSCRIPT

Margaret Hall. Part 3

Margaret Hall tried to stand as the creature barreled toward her tree stand, but was held back by the straps that tied her to the tree. She braced herself and clutched her gun to her chest as the animal collided with the giant spruce. He let out a terrible howl as his long arms wrapped half way around the tree trunk, and he leaned his weight back and forth as he began to push and pull the tree.

Margaret hollered into the night as she felt the tree begin to sway, her body rocking back and forth with each tug of the creature below. As his pace quickened, her tree swayed like it was in a hurricane, and Margaret saw the sky and the ground alternately flashing before her eyes in rapid pulses. Her homemade granola, her backpack, her camouflage face makeup, her ammo, her water bottle all flew into the air, but Margaret remained in her tree stand, strapped tight to the trunk of the mighty tree as it rocked.

Will Margaret survive the terror in her tree? Listen to Part 4 of Margaret Hall!

TRANSCRIPT

Margaret Hall. Part 2

Margaret held her breath when she saw the massive shadow of the creature lurking below her tree stand in the dark. She froze, her heart pounding in her chest. A slight breeze rustled her hair as it passed, and within seconds Margaret saw the animal tense as her scent hit him.

Suddenly, a patch of sky cleared and the full moon shone down like a spot light onto the clearing. Margaret saw the creature staring up at her. It was at least 10 feet tall, and covered head-to-toe in thick hair. Its dark eyes, as large as tea cups narrowed as it began to lurch toward the tree. Margaret, a seasoned pro not disposed to flights of panic, lifted her rifle and shot once, twice, as the creature drew near. The bullets seamed to graze off his shoulders as he ran in her direction.

TRANSCRIPT

Lake Iliamna.

Have fun boating this weekend, Anikah. Did you know Lake Iliamna is the largest lake in Alaska – big as the state of Connecticut!

That's a big lake.

But be careful. You ever hear of the lake monster?

Ah, no.

The creature is said to be over 60 feet long. She can arc her back above the surface, and has been known to bite right through the hull of a rowboat.

You don’t really believe that, do you?

George tried to see her once. Few summers ago, he went to Lake Iliamna and sat in his boat. The next morning, George walked into "Brooke’s Books and Other Things", Mark poured him a cup of coffee, and asked how the search had gone. George rubbed his hand across his jaw, and said, "Mark, some things in this world just ain't meant to be talked about." Never spoke of it again.

Really?

Maybe. Have fun boating, though!

TRANSCRIPT

Mosquito Lake.

George and Mary made their way to Mosquito Lake on the west edge of Broken, Alaska. George had two fishing rods slung over his shoulder. Mary swung the tackle box from her hand as she tucked their red plaid blanket under her arm.

They sat side-by-side, lines dangling in the water, talking about their plans for the day when George would finally sell the antiques shop and they'd have enough money for their dream house in Hawaii. Mary’s eyes would sparkle and a dimple would pop into her cheek, and George would fall in love with her all over again.

When the cancer took Mary a couple years later, George never really recovered. Most weekdays you can still find him holed up in his antiques shop, no reason in the world to ever retire now. Most weekends, you can find him sitting at the edge of Mosquito Lake, all the reason in the world to long for days gone by.

TRANSCRIPT

Jumping Frenchmen of Maine is a bizarre rare condition characterized by an unusually extreme startle response, including repeating the words or actions of others.  Not only will sufferers react with exaggerated movements to surprising stimuli, they also become powerless to refuse commands for a brief time. It was first observed in French-Canadian loggers in New England, hence the name.

TRANSCRIPT

Margaret Hall. Part 1

It was before dawn, and Margaret Hall was already in her deer stand high up in the forest around Broken, Alaska. Clouds covered the sky, blocking out the full moon she knew was out there. She’d strapped herself to the tree so she wouldn't fall out of the stand, and was tucking her sleeping bag around her shoulders to keep warm, when she heard something in the distance. It sounded more like a bear than a deer, but she waited. Silently, she slipped the top of her body out of the sleeping bag, picked up her rifle, and checked the safety before holding it lightly across her chest.

Margaret could hear branches cracking as the animal got closer to her tree. She sensed it more than she saw it when it finally reached the small clearing to her left. It was a shadow, a massive tall thing, and it walked on two feet, its long arms dangling by its sides.

Want to hear more? Listen for Part 2 of Margaret Hall.

Song Sparrow

Fri, 24 Apr 2020 01:35:00 +0000

The Song Sparrow is a small stripped sparrow with a big personality, found across North America in fields, meadows, marshes, and sometimes in backyards.

Hi! My name is Rob.

I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

Strange Eggs - Shark

Wed, 22 Apr 2020 01:25:00 +0000

Sharks lay strange eggs.

This episode is not explicit.

Story by PRRP, Music by Mx Michael


https://www.patreon.com/freckle

TRANSCRIPT

Sharks lay spiral eggs.

Not all sharks, just some sharks, like the horned or bullhead sharks, but all shark eggs are exceptionally strange. Let’s just focus on these for now.

These eggs look akin to a conical seashell or giant screw; they are often jet black, airplane black, with equally-spirally tendrils hanging from the bottom. These tendrils will catch against rocks or algae, as if an anchor, so they don’t wash away in the vast expanse of the ocean. It seems parent sharks don’t tend to look after their young, so I guess it behooves them to hatch somewhere secure. But I say let them drift away, for all I care. These eggs freak me out.

Georgie: Why don’t you just bake it? You know, like humans do.

Dear Martha

Sun, 19 Apr 2020 20:40:00 +0000

A postcard from husband to wife, remembering an old dog they had.

Written by Oscar Garrett, Performed by Jack Same

A kid who lived at the Motel Americana in the 1980s with his family... and bugged the rooms.

www.motelamericanapodcast.com

TRANSCRIPT

The following was found written on a postcard sent from the Motel Americana dated July 5th, 1987:

Dear Martha,

Nothing like a road trip to get you strolling down memory lane. I’m in Jersey at a place called the Motel Americana and for some reason been thinking about that dog we had when the kids were little. Remember? Kids called her Glory? Frisky little pup, couldn’t sit still, then protected those kids like nobody’s business. Turned into a pretty creature. Regal. Still breaks my heart to think how quick she got so old. Her eyes clouded so she couldn’t see straight. Bit anyone came knocking on the door. Then barking and growling at us , her own folks, poor thing. Then pissing inside the house, on the rug your mother gave us, pissing on her own bed. Had us screaming at each other trying to figure what to do about her. It was like she knew almost, then just disappeared. I loved that do. Old Glory.

Hope to be home soon,
George

TRANSCRIPT

I want to address self-care, for just a second.
A lot of people are talking about all of the things they’re getting done around their house, or new projects they’re talking on, or ways they’re pampering themselves, during the quarantine.
Good for them. Really.
But for some of us, getting out of bed is a big deal. Remembering to eat. Scrolling, or avoiding, social media. Making eye contact. It all counts.
Give yourself credit for the things you can accomplish, not criticism for the things you think you should be doing. You matter.

But that night, Old man didn’t seem so old anymore as I watched him walk up to my door with something shiny in his hand.

TRANSCRIPT

Don’t know why that keeps happening. But I was going to say it even changed the way business was done. It wasn’t all about money and getting rich and being greedy anymore. It was about providing for those less fortunate. Being rich became a bad thing. A shameful thing. And in the end everyone was brought together, while the world healed. I just thought you should know. I hope it helps wherever you are.

All kinds of noods: thick and round, thin and nimble, or twisted into strange shapes.

That’s why I use send noods - a noodle delivery service that brings artisanal noods direct to your door.

TRANSCRIPT

Astronomy.

Hey, Lars! How was your trip over to Palmer?

Pretty good. I got to see the Pope’s astronomer.

THE Pope’s astronomer?

Yep, he was doing a lecture on astronomy, religion, the universe.

In Palmer, Alaska.

Father Francis O'Bean asked me to go to the lecture and tell him about it.

He loves stuff like that.

Yeah, Fr. Francis is always pondering those big questions, like, Why are we here? What's the meaning of life? I guess, as the light fades from the sky, and the aurora borealis begin to dance across the darkness above, these are the things worth thinking about.

So, did the Pope’s astronomer reveal all? Did you learn all the secrets of the universe in that lecture?

Actually, I fell asleep after it started.

You fell asleep?!

Well, it was really hot in that room and they turned out all the lights.

Fair enough.

Strange Eggs - Caecilian

https://www.patreon.com/freckle

TRANSCRIPT

Caecilians lay translucent eggs.

If you’re unfamiliar, these are those weird limbless amphibians, basically snake-frogs, that burrow around underground and in the water, very grossly. Their eggs look like those cats-eye marbles, except with little nasty worms inside in lieu of cool colors. It’s hard to imagine rolling these around as a lo-fi past-time, but if you’re in dire straits... Don’t worry though, because when they hatch, they feast on the skin of their parent in order to grow tenfold in about a week, so it’s not like it gets any worse. Yuck!

Red-winged Blackbird

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:50:00 +0000

The Red-winged Blackbird is a well-known species found in marshes, fields, and even in backyards across North America.

Hi! My name is Rob.

I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

I always start my day with a nice run and there’s one route in particular I take that’s usually pretty empty. Every now and then I see a fellow runner. We give each other the nod… But I stop for dogs. We talk , I learn their names, and age. We both bid each other a safe departure but I never learn the names of the humans… Hopefully I’ll see Roscoe again.

An ex-lover outlines the reasons he left on the back of a postcard.

Written by Oscar Garrett, Performed by Jack Same

www.motelamericanapodcast.com

TRANSCRIPT

The following was found written on a postcard sent from the Motel Americana dated May 25th, 1986:

Dear Phoebe,

By now you’ve realized that I’ve left you and taken everything. The furniture, the jewelry, emptied the bank accounts, the whole kit and kaboodle. I know this may come as a shock but, like everything I’ve done in the past four months, I did it for you. You always say that my happiness is what’s most important to you.

But I feel the same way.

I hope you’re happy now.

Love always and forever,
Paul

A Message from the Admiral

Ahoy there, Oceanologists! This is the Admiral speaking with an important public service announcement.

This episode is not explicit.

Written by J. Michael DeAngelis. Starring Bob Killion as The Admiral.


Bob Killion is the man of many voices on Mission: Rejected, most notably The Admiral, Security Guy, Archie Grant and, of course, Noam Chomsky.

https://missionrejected.simplecast.com

TRANSCRIPT

Good morning, good evening and good afternoon simultaneously. This is The Admiral speaking and I wish to address proper hand washing procedures. First, you must
strip yourself of all your worldly desires. Release the fears and hang ups that keep you from being your true self. Second, you must strip yourself of all your clothes. As all Oceanologists know, the hands are the gateway to the body. As we cleanse them, we cleanse our souls. Third, dip your hands in pure bees wax. Don’t use the store brand. DON'T USE THE STORE BRAND. Then scrub vigorously while singing. Baby whale...baby whale...

Depression is not feeling sad.
It’s not just needing to smile more, or needing distraction.
Depression is, more than anything, not feeling anything at all.
Just dark, and heavy, and slow, both mentally and physically.
You can help by being persistent and present for your loved ones.
And if you have it, be gentle with you. You matter.

TRANSCRIPT

Sometimes I think about the day I first met Squirm. I thought my life was so boring, that nothing interesting would ever happen to me. And then, whoops, I saw a swear-y fay woman with a broken wing being chased by a cat, and everything was different. Not your average trip to the pub. I had no idea how many strange, terrifying, ridiculous things would happen. The unknown always used to scare me. Now, I embrace it. I have no idea how tomorrow will turn out. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Third Floor Door

Jacqlyn Phillips is a writer, performer, and language teacher. And she washes her hands!


https://sketchesbyzod.com/

TRANSCRIPT

1 door sits between 2 windows on the 3rd floor of my 4 story house. 5 shadows pass the windows in rhythmic procession: 6 wings on the first, 7 halos 'round the second, 8 scales of the third a-glint from the 9 auras of the fourth. And the fifth, well, the fifth is 10 to 11 times the size of the 12 rings undulating 13 feet 'round the group entire. I hear 14 knocks and wait 15 seconds before braving the 16 steps toward this 17 foot tall third floor door. 18 pairs of eyes stare back. 19 pairs of gloves. Then, a 20th of something appears in a flash as it all ends in a blur.

Marlboro Man

Sat, 11 Apr 2020 03:15:00 +0000

Your Brain on Facts is a half-hour podcast of things you didn’t know, things you thought you knew, and things you never knew you never knew, covering topics as diverse as science-fiction, funerals, food origins, heroic animals, and the strategic butter reserve.

Before she started the Your Brain On Facts podcast to safely vent the copious bonus facts in her brain, Moxie LaBouche performed and produced burlesque, specifically "nerd-lesque." It was her privilege to produce the only George R. R. Martin-approved burlesque tribute to Game of Thrones and even to play for the man himself.
Moxie has presented a local TED talk, is the prolific author of unfinished fiction, knows seven words of Latin, and previously earned her living as a goat farmer and soap maker. She is also the creator and co-host of the Science With Savannah, Age 7 podcast and YouTube channel.
Moxie lives in Virginia with her husband and a dozen or so pets.

TRANSCRIPT

Marlboro cigarettes were first marketed to women with the slogan “mild as May,” but they didn’t really sell.  They were rebranded as hallmarks of rugged masculinity with the introduction of the Marlboro Man in the 1950’s. The first Marlboro Man didn’t even smoke, but at least 4 actors who have played the character have died of smoking-related diseases.

Warren G. Harding.

Brick, before you hang up, I have to say, I can’t believe you bought me this Warren G. Harding writing journal today.

Well, that journal is special.

Because it has his face on the cover and he was the first president to visit Alaska?

On the boat trip back home after visiting Alaska, he died, and his wife ordered his body embalmed just an hour after his death, forbidding an autopsy.

Are you suggesting foul play?

Don’t know. But his wife knew he was having affairs. This journal has excerpts of the love letters he wrote to his girlfriends.

“Jerry … told me to say that if he could have but one wish, it would be to be held in your darling embrace.” Jerry? Wait, did Harding refer to his… as Jerry?

He did.

Ew. Presidents are the worst.

Strange Eggs - Ant

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 02:55:00 +0000

Ants lay strange eggs.

This episode is not explicit.

Story by Kenneth Eckle, Music by Mx Michael

https://www.patreon.com/freckle

TRANSCRIPT

Ants lay too many eggs.

We all know and love ants; they fight with grasshoppers about seasons. But did you also know that when an ant becomes the queen of a new colony, it will lay THOUSANDS of eggs a day? Not only that, but it has to choose the sex of every single one! That’s a lot of decision-making! If she chooses to fertilize an egg, it becomes a female worker ant; all the unfertilized eggs become male sex slaves. In the queen’s entire, and what must be dull, lifetime, it will lay about a third of a million eggs! That’s more eggs than stars in the sky, I bet. Finally, in an act of unbridled sadism, she also determines which of the eggs will become their own future queens, thereby subjecting them to the same endless and frankly bizarre cycle of lifelong torture.

Ants lay strange eggs.

Scout Ship Emissary Part 1

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 02:50:00 +0000

While on an exploration mission, Captain Weston Bywater explores an anomaly on Planet Nu Vespae III. The card drawn for this episode was the Eight of Hearts.

This episode is not explicit.

Played, written, and performed by Grahame Turner. Scout Ship Emissary is an Actual Play of ‘Alone Among the Stars’ by Takuma Okada, available at https://noroadhome.itch.io/.

Grahame fell deep into an Actual Play Podcast hole, where he found that he really wanted to start one of his own. He can usually be found hanging out in the CastJunkie Discord server. In his less-free time, he's a technical editor. Podcasting has not helped with this. He lives in Boston with his partner and co-host on The Role Less Taken, as well as their two cats, Peanut and Edmund "Fitz" Fitzgerald.

TRANSCRIPT

This is the log of Captain Weston Bywater of the Scout Ship Emissary, on an exploration mission to chart new worlds and document new phenomena. Alone among the stars, I am the first human to set eyes on any of these worlds.

Planet: Nu Vespae III
[Dice rolls]
One Anomaly

While scanning the planet’s north pole, I notice a massive metal obelisk jutting at an odd angle from the ice cap. Constructed. The size of a large starship, but internal scans show that it was packed with fuel and, ah, explosives. An unexploded missile from a long-forgotten war.

This has been an Actual Play of ‘Alone Among the Stars’ by Takuma Okada

TRANSCRIPT

CAPTAIN: Into the lifeboat, gentlemen. I’m afraid our ship has had it.
LIEUTENANT: Yes, sir. I’ll man the tiller — Jenkins, you man the oars.
JENKINS: Right, sir. Is it, uh, too soon to ask when we might eat, sir?
CAPTAIN: When we might WHAT?
JENKINS: Well, it helps to know these things, sir.
CAPTAIN: Our ship has just gone down, Jenkins, with massive loss of life!
LIEUTENANT: And now we’re stranded in a lifeboat, miles from anywhere!
JENKINS: I know, sir, it’s just that I skipped breakfast. Stupid of me, I know, sir.
LIEUTENANT: That WAS bloody stupid, Jenkins! Don’t you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

Words of Advice

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 02:35:00 +0000

Words of advice from Jack's old pal Ahab Cloud.

Written by Ahab Cloud, Performed by Jack Same

Ahab was an old college buddy of Jack's.

www.motelamericanapodcast.com

TRANSCRIPT

The following was found written on a postcard sent from the Motel Americana, undated:

Dear Jack,

Some words of advice from the open road:

Squeeze that fish too tight and it’ll slip right out of your hands.

Chad. Never trust a chad.

Whenever possible work at the intersection of all intersections.

Schedule all the real, real dirty work for the Friday before Easter.

Salad will kill you more slowly than red meat, increasing the possibility for painful illness or depression due to the loss of friends and family and everything that brought one comfort in the old world.

Best to the Family,
A. Cloud

Dark-eyed Junco

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 20:05:00 +0000

The Dark-eyed Junco is known to many in North America as a winter bird. They have a rattle-like trill as a song, which is heard usually in early spring just before they return to the far north and alpine regions for breeding.

Hi! My name is Rob.

Rob Porter

I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

I’ve got 2 days in me max over this terrain without water. Do you know how vital this intel is? We’re 4 days from the extraction point.

The fire would take care of the rest. What I didn’t plan for was you being such an utter bastard that you would kiss me before you fell out. I tried to get out, but I’m so, so tired, and the fire is getting brighter and brighter. I can feel my face getting hotter, but my eyes, they just won’t stay...

Michael stood in front of the bathroom mirror. “Bloody Mary” he said, in the dim, flickering light of the candle. “Bloody Mary.” His hand trembled, the candle nearly falling into the sink. He closed his eyes “Bloody Mary.”  He opened his eyes: She was there! Deathly pale and terrible! He turned to run, but she reached out and grabbed his shirt. “Don’t you wash the news?” she shrieked. “Wash your damn hands!”

NEW WITCH 

Written & Performed by Eddie Louise 

Her rage was an incandescent heat, sparking from the ends of her hair and fingertips. Overhead, storm clouds filled the sky, their purple bellies bruised and swollen. Katya leaned into the wind, relishing the lash of icy air, the whip-sting of sleet punishing away her tears. Gone was the softness that beckoned in the marriage bed, the silken skin that called to a lover. In its place, a mask of white porcelain, seamless and without expression. She lifted arms that held nothing of the supplicant and began to chant.

SOUNDS: Oceanic ambiance


UNRELIABLE NARRATOR I see the light of a ship in the distance. I force myself forward, sluggish in my movements as the sea tries to hold me back. I push harder, faster, as the red side light becomes brighter with the closing distance. The white hull gleams in the soft moonlight - I will be on their bridge in moments! I increase my speed, timing it just right to meet my redemption, my salvation! The stars brighten as I come closer to my goal. Except, now I know salvation will not be mine. Time seems to slow to a crawl as I enter the bridge - and see myself reaching for the alarm.

I came home from work, tired like normal. However, I smiled when my daughter came running up to me, excited that I was home. I noticed there was something red on her lips, but I pushed it aside. I picked her up into my arms, asking where her momma was, and as we walked into the living room, she patted her stomach with the biggest smile on her face. It was only then that I noticed my wife laying on the ground, little chunks missing from her face.

Transcript :  “The first sign was the clouds. The Shapes were odd, as if disturbed by unseen forces. The stars were dimmer, flickering at odd times. But none of us were worried. By the time the armada dropped their invisibility shield, the sky was full of spaceships, weapons poised”

CARL Put the ghost light out, Fred.

FRED Why do we leave a lamp on in an empty theater? It’s such a waste of electricity.

CARL It’s not for people, boy. It’s for the ghosts. You can feel them, can’t you, Fred? Hear the footsteps in the catwalk when you know there’s no one up there? See the costume room door open by itself? Hear music from the pit when you thought you was alone in the theater? They’re here, Fred. They’re all around us! AND THEY DEMAND WE KEEP THE GHOST LIGHT BURNING - FOR IF YOU TURN IT OFF...

FRED What are you doing, Carl?

CARL If you turn it off...

FRED CARL, STOP.

CARL If you turn it off..

SFX: The click of the light going out and then Fred falling into the pit.

CARL ...then someone is likely to fall off the stage in the dark, you putz. Now come on, we’ve got a party to go to.

Kate of Ignorance Was Bliss is a forensic psychologist and crisis clinician who collects stories, in an attempt to figure out how we become who we are.

Website: iwbpodcast.com

Ignorance Was Bliss

TRANSCRIPT I was on a remote New Hampshire road, when something flew overhead and landed on the hood of my car. Its eyes were huge. It looked at me… looked away… and looked back at me… all without moving its body. My brain went blank. I said, quote, “Oh my gawd… it’s… that’s… look… um… it’s… it’s a murderbird,” because an owl was blamed for the death of Kathleen Peterson. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. And now you know the origin of the murderbird.

TRANSCRIPT (Underscored by Unchained Melody.)

VO. I stand at the bathroom sink. How did we get here? I turn on the faucet. Swayze, my roommate’s Old English Bulldog, senses my uneasiness and lays at my feet. I pick up the bar of soap and close my eyes. As I wash, a wave of calm passes over me, and there he is. His chest against my back, his cheek against my cheek, his warm hands running down the sides of my arms. He takes my hands in his and begins to guide me through the suds. I can feel him here washing with me.

The Eastern Meadowlark

Sun, 29 Mar 2020 17:10:00 +0000

The Eastern Meadowlark is a bird of the tallgrass prairie, found in eastern North America and known for its melodious song.

Hi! My name is Rob. I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club.

In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired.

Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

SOUNDS: Earthquake-like rumbling, followed by rushing water

They woke up as Kelly, who wasn’t really a morning person but still got a lot done, had a martini and fell asleep happy. Their eyes opened as Madison, who leapt out of bed, went on a jog, took a long shower and crawled into bed again for a nap. When she woke up she was Matthew who taught his kids how to make scrambled eggs and let them add food coloring and sprinkles to it. Later on, he tucked them in and went to bed himself.

Sat, 28 Mar 2020 02:40:00 +0000

You can name all the Pythons and probably Graham Chapman’s favorite drink. You know the importance of 42 and towels, what TARDIS stands for, and who calls his Impala “baby.” You regularly hang out with Edina and Patsy, keep your comics in plastic, and have at least one “action figure” that’s still mint-in-box but may not stay that way. You know how big a womp rat is, and if someone feeds you this line, you’ll respond without even thinking.

Let your geek flag fly, my sibling. We know the good stuff.

Oz 9 is a silly space comedy about a bunch of people you really wouldn’t trust your drink to, much less your life. Find us in the usual places or at https://oz-9.com.

John hurried home, collar up, head down, his mood splashing down in the muck with his shoes. Coming towards him was another man, also inadequately armored against the rain. As they passed, the man muttered,

I’ve been afraid of heights for as long as I can remember, but standing on that cliff, looking down into the clear blue water below me, I wouldn’t let it control me any more. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, before I opened them and leapt off. I felt the rush of wind, as I turned my body, and cut through the water like it was nothing. I smiled as I came back to the surface, and as I felt the tug on my leg and agony ripped through my body, I knew I should have been afraid of sharks instead.

NARRATOR: "I’m sorry?” She winced in her kneeling spot beside the cabbage roses.  

From behind the crumbling wall, the silhouette whispered again. 

She shielded her eyes with a mud-caked cotton glove, and a cold breeze stole past her cheek, disturbing the untucked strands of her white fringe. 

“I can’t hear you from over there!” 

The dim figure glided to her gate — a lattice of iron and ivy — and waited. The sky dragged a shroud of darkness across her rosemary bed. 

Negotiating knee complaints, she clambered to her feet, and every neighbouring garden came into view; brown and withered.  

“It’s no good, I’ll have to come to you”, she said; the pruning shears snug in her grip.

Transcription:

You awaken in bed, to the sound of soft running water down the hall.

As you slowly fumble from your room, you enter a pitch black hallway, save for a sliver of light at the end.

You make your way cautiously forward, the floorboards creaking with each step.

Hand trembling on the doorknob, you throw the door open to a blinding light. As your eyes adjust, you see your roommate standing before you with a look of confusion.

"I'm just washing my hands. Go back to bed you goof."

Lizzie Stays Seven

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 03:49:25 +0000

Real life super-family Aaron, June, and Lizzie are 2/3 Oz 9 assassins and 1/3 ridiculously cute kiddo. Talented beyond all reasonable measure, they live in IL and occasionally in outer space. 

Aaron and Lizzie

Lizzie Stays Seven

Narrator: She got to 7 and decided she’d had enough growing up. She was tall enough to reach the cookie jar, strong enough to earn the respect of Brad the bully, fast enough to catch Scooby when he got out, smart enough to know the important stuff like the order of the planets, brave enough to stick her foot out from under the blankets and over the edge of the bed, even on Halloween night.

Lizzie: “Seven is enough. Gracie is 8 and doesn’t believe in Santa Claus or magic wands anymore. I’m good right here,”

Narrator: said Lizzie. And she was.

Dr. Geek's Moment of Silence

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 02:40:00 +0000

Dr. Scott Viguié holds two doctorate degrees and is an archaeologist, attorney, actor and author which of course makes him perfect for the role of archaeologist Eli Sherzberg.

Dr. Scott Viguié

(more on the good doctor below)

INT: Doctor Geek’s Office

SFX: Music intro

Deus Ex: Welcome to Doctor Geek’s Moment of Science

Dr Geek: While most of us are sheltering in place, remember that ordinary soap and water are very powerful tools that can keep us all healthy.  Why is that? Because viruses generally consist of RNA, proteins and lipids.  There are no strong bonds holding these building blocks together, so it doesn’t take much effort for the soap to dissolve the lipid (or fatty) layer causing the virus to become inactive.  That’s right, with soap the power to fight this pandemic is in your hands!

 

Dr Geek: This episode of listen rinse repeat was voiced by Dr. Scott Viguie and written by Doctor Geek’s Laboratory of Applied Geekdom

www.drgeeklab.com

Doctor Geek

Before his wife will permit him to go back to graduate school, yet again, Scott will have to promise to move on to something that starts with a “B”. As luck would have it, Scott is also the first bionic man. Well, … not exactly.

In reality, Scott was one of the first to undergo extensive orthopedic surgery to compensate for cerebral palsy. While these cutting edge techniques did in fact grant him the ability to walk, making him better … stronger … faster, his new abilities did not in fact come with the cool sound effects. So began a lifelong obsession with science, technology, and the science fiction that inspires them.

Scott’s love of all things science fiction and fantasy can be heard on various podcasts, including Transmissions From Gallifrey, Articles of the Shadow Proclamation, Earth Station One, and Earth Station Who. Scott is also one of the writers for Continuum Force, penning several of the episodes.

Throughout the year, Scott travels the convention circuit, appearing at such conventions as Dragon*con, Time Lord Fest, and TimeGate, where he can be seen participating in Doctor Who related panels and speaking on such topics as “The Archaeology of Stargate”.

Scott established Doctor Geek’s Laboratory and Doctor Geek’s Science Fair in the hope that it would encourage a rekindled sense of optimism for the future. That it would bring about enthusiasm for innovation. That it would bring the fictional world of tomorrow, one step closer to today.

Scott is also a consultant for the Science & Entertaiment Exchange, a volunteer network based out of Los Angles that connects productions with experts who can add a little science to the fiction.

I have something that I need you to do for me, since you’re already pausing to wash your hands.
I need you to remember something super-important.
Isolation isn’t just a physical thing. It’s mental, as well, and it can be scary and hard and dark.
But you matter.
I mean it.
Even when you’re alone, you’re not. Reach out. Call. Text.
You matter.
You really do.

The Wizard

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 02:05:00 +0000

Written by Eddie Louise | Performed by Justin Bremer

Gardigal slammed his staff into the hard, slate flagstones, the ringing thunk timed to his footsteps as he traversed the breezeway between domestic chambers and his tower. He was not sure what Eilidgh thought she was up to, but the ridiculous notion that she could choose her own future was a weed that he would soon prune from her garden. The wails of the girl’s tears danced in his wake and a small smile crooked the corner of his lips. He would turn the child’s weakness to his advantage. Her hysterics were proof that she was incapable of arranging her own marriage. Gardigal would do what was best. [Chuckle evilly over screams of the princess]

Once, in Cobalt

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:55:00 +0000

Once, in Cobalt... I ran until my feet could no longer carry me. I slumped down against a tree to catch my breath hoping he wasn’t close behind. I heard the stories, but I didn’t think they were true. Old Yellow Top? A name that makes a monstrous humanoid beast sound more like a child’s teddy bear. But I heard the footfall and I knew he was there before I even turned my head… where he held out a trillium, the first of the season and then slumped down beside me, smiling. Maybe his name was appropriate after all.

The Dream

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:40:00 +0000

Dwayne Farver

Manifestations

Transcript

Growing up, there was a recurring dream that I would have.  I would go into a room, turn on the light, but there was a flash – and the bulb would immediately burn out.

So, I would go into another room to turn on that light so I could see to change the other lightbulb.  But when I would turn that light on, flash!  No lights there either.

That was when the dread would set in.  I knew they were there.  Shadowy figures standing in the corners.

One time, something made me angry.  I rushed at the one closest to me, with my hands outstretched to grab it.  What I grabbed on to felt like denim overalls.

That was when I woke up, laughing hysterically.  It was also the last time I had the dream.

This episode of Listen Rinse Repeat was written and voiced by Dwayne Farver of Manifestations podcast.

It is dark. As dark as it can only get in Gothenburg on a Tuesday afternoon in late November before the snow. I can smell it. It’s coming tonight. Tomorrow we will dig out the sled and speed down the hill outside our house together, laughing and rolling around in the snow.

Strange Eggs - Kiwi

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:25:00 +0000

PRRP is a multi-award-winning podcast that reviews the reviews of its podcast. It’s good!

Strange Eggs - Kiwi

Transcript and Show Notes

Kiwi lay big eggs. Not objectively big, but relatively big, compared to their tiny bodies, which are, I suppose, subjectively tiny. But like, the kiwi will take an entire month to produce a measly single egg, which ends up being like a fifth of their entire body weight. In fact, often the egg gets so big, they don’t even eat leading up to its expulsion. They just take up too much space! But the good news is, if any of this can be good news, is that kiwi eggs are mostly yolk, about 2/3rds yolk, so when they’re born, they basically are totally financially independent and free to go about their business.

The kiwi lays strange eggs.

EXT: STARBOARD SIDE OF UNNAMED COAST GUARD CUTTER

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR
We are adrift in the fog, there's not another crewmember in sight. I clamor up to the bridge and it, too, is empty. I grab the 1MC and say, (PA Filter) "All hands, lay to the weatherdecks!" I hear something in the distance (waves crashing) and pull on the ship's whistle (fog horn sounds). The fog clears and I see greenish black rocks surrounding oddly stacked structures - Cyclopean monoliths that pain my mind to witness.

He curled his toes over the edge of the rotting raft that floated on polystyrene blocks, anchored to the seabed by slick, weed-choked chains, and risked a glimpse. 

Spectres circled beneath the surface. Each a streamlined torpedo of deathless hunger. 

Dizzy, he looked back towards the scattered bodies, and spotted his brother’s blue and white windbreak.  

He slowed his breathing, adjusted his goggles, and stretched his arms out ahead of him.

Sea Terrors Ghost Ship: Part 1

Wed, 25 Mar 2020 03:00:00 +0000

Sea Terrors by Mike Gagne

Transcript:

INT: BRIDGE OF UNNAMED COAST GUARD CUTTER
SOUNDS: Nighttime, sea ambiance, slight rumble of engines in the background.

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR
I stand my watch every night, midnight until zero-four. Last night was different. Out of a nowhere, a massive vessel bore down on us from the port side. Came out of nowhere. I yelled to the helmsman, "Hard to starboard! Port ahead full!" We were too late. I reached for the collision alarm right before the moment of impact, but felt nothing. I looked over my shoulder to see the skeletal bridge crew of the ship passing right through us.

Blue Smoke

Wed, 25 Mar 2020 02:40:00 +0000

Blue Smoke

NARRATOR:       Agent Zamora rubbed a close-shaven temple. He swore the bone-dry ticking of the cheap clock above him was half the cause of his migraine.

“We know it was you, Blue Smoke, or whatever the tabloids call ya. Just tell us where you stashed the apparatus, and we can end this.”

The other contributing half imagined what it might be to throw her cuffed hands around his neck, and gently kiss his forehead. But she had a reputation to maintain, not to mention a tight timescale.

“You’ve gotten further than most. You’ll find me again.”

She braced herself as the hour hand crept towards six pm.

Beneath her newly-scarred skin, her skeleton glimmered and hummed.

November 2012 – part 1 of 3

Transcript:
(front door opening, outside ambience, footsteps)

I look down at him, in his red snowsuit and his black hat with white stars sprinkled all over it, and I think: We did it. We made it all the way here. I take his hand and we walk across the parking lot. He looks up at me, proud of his newfound walking skills. Whoopsidaisy. Almost fell there. But all is well.

The storm for wolves and witches

Wed, 25 Mar 2020 02:20:00 +0000

Do thunderstorms awaken the wolf in you? Or the witch?

Transcript:

It was the perfect storm. The thunder was equal parts crackle and boom, and the lightning that followed threw off shards of light, split the dark and sewed it up again. This night, this moon, this storm were for wolves and witches, and Sara, who was a bit of both, headed towards the mountaintops where the wild things were.

The Big Mice

A great, 60-second question: Where do lakes come from? Lather up and give this explanation a listen!

TRANSCRIPT:

When the Big Mice arrived, they landed in the mitten-shaped state of Michigan. This was long before mittens were a thing.

The Big Mice liked Michigan, but it surrounded by nothing but empty canyons. So they set out to find water. Which they did. Find water, I mean. Each Big Mouse filled its cheeks up real big, ran back to Michigan, and spit into the empty canyons. They put on floppy hats and learned how to do underwater somersaults. It was nice.

But the Big Mice had other worlds to explore, and eventually piled back into their translucent traveling sphere and rolled away, leaving behind nothing but good vibes. This was long after good vibes were a thing.
