SPECIAL FEATURE: Spiked Eggs presents "Who's the Ass? (Part 1)"
Fri, 25 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +0000
Special Thank you to the wonderful folk at Spiked Eggs! Spiked Eggs serves up deliciously twisted, darkly comic tales with a foot in both the present and the reimagined past. Picture a world populated by sociopathic reindeer, cold-blooded assassins, scheming sheep, a shifty politician who blusters in and out of episodes, and a spy-drone- snooping Internet web host. Each episode stands alone and can be listened to in any order. In 2024, Spiked Eggs won Best Comedy Podcast at the 2024 Hollywood Series Awards and also earned three silver awards for Best Fiction Podcast, Editing and Sound Design at the Signal Awards in New York City. This particular episode is called “Who’s the Ass? (Part One).” It is a current nominee for Best Comedy/Adventure Podcast in the LA Webfest 2025. Desperate for cash, a miller and his daughter turn to the Internet to pump up the sale price for their tired, old donkey. They instantly become an online sensation, yet trouble awaits them on their way to market. An angry scrum of animal-rights advocates is hot on their heels. A slippery politician, hell-bent to cash in on the hoopla, races to intercept them. And pot-stirring host Katie Klickit whips up a snarling Greek chorus on her drone-spying Internet web series. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking. Can father and daughter cross the river ahead and reach the market in time? Or will it be a bridge too far? Listen to Spiked Eggs on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Audible, or your favorite platform.
