Update: Scaling Back for Quality

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 08:00:00 -0600

Hello Listeners. A while back the show went to twice weekly, and unfortunately, I've felt a drop in quality while trying to maintain that schedule. You deserve better than that! 

Discount Storytime will return to publishing every Monday, and will be adding back in the commercials, music, sound effects, and most importantly, one fuller story, rather than two 'filler' stories each week.

Thank you so much for being a listener!!!!

UPDATE: Podcast Name Change

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 10:00:00 -0500

Hello listeners,

This podcast will be changing names from "Tales from the Scamverse." This name was based on the book of short stories (available on Amazon kindle) from which most of the first episode stories came from.

As the show has evolved, the concept of the "Scamverse" limits other stories I want to share with you.  The podcast format will be the same. One story, same satrical and at times dark humor, and a message from our sponsor.

Our new name is "Discount Storytime", which has been tested with over 30 people, and every one of them yelled "Who the Hell are you?" and "Get out of my yard!" So I think it's a hit!
If you have questions, comments, or thoughts, please feel free to write to me by clicking on the link in the show notes. Also, an email address for "Discount Storytime" will be coming soon and I'll append it to this show note and future notes.

NOTE: The show email is now mail@discountstorytime.com

Thanks, and have a great day!
