Well, we honestly tried to make this a shorter episode. For the first time, we have no true fable. Rather, we only read a single adventure of T.G. WARP; Carter's superhero series from high school. After that, we seemingly forget we are recording and just hang out for another 30 minutes. But hey, maybe that's your thing!
Carter recommends: Mongrels, by Stephen Graham Jones

Today we bring you the final part of Sleeping Beauty! As well as a bunch of other conversations and tangents. Actually, it's mostly other conversations and tangents. But isn't that why you're here?
Riley recommends: Burn the Negative, by Josh Winning

Well, we had a lot to talk about before and after the story today so we decided we needed to make this one a two-parter. We're talking to kings, playing phtrivia, and critiquing Amazon's Rings Of Power. Also we are reading the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty!
Carter recommends: The Lord of the Rings on audiobook, as narrated by Andy Serkis

CW: Brief moment of violence towards children
In keeping with the classics, we return the old England where a clever lassie must outsmart a terrible giant. Only, does she perhaps go too far? Is her cleverness, in fact, a simple disregard for human/giant life? Listen on to find out!
Riley recommends: The Unspoken Name, by A.K. Larkwood

The awesome and sublime vortex of time has spit out an episode recorded long ago. Carter and Riley could not record this week, so we are bringing out our first-ever a-chronologic show. So come play "Is it cannibalism?" with us, and whatever you do, don't answer the bone phone.

In this, the 26th episode, we give lots of horror recommendations and welcome in the fall season. We also read a story that has some similarities to one you may already be familiar with. A guy picks up trash and wins half a kingdom. Truly the American Dream.

Full disclosure: for the first 12 minutes we just talk. Saying that now so you don't email us about how we spent 12 minutes just talking about video games and movies. We know. Sometimes we like to talk. We don't get a lot of opportunities to do that. The story is amazing though, just hold out for the story. It's gonna knock your socks right off your anklebones.
