Its time to load up the old Studebaker with the five people you love/hate the most, strap a few unweildy pieces of luggage on the top with that trucker's hitch you half learned, and head on out to the open road. Its nothing but mosquitos, chiggers, and tuna salad for one whole glorious week. We'll visit some road side attractions and say fare the well to the Valley of Death. There will be a couple of Big Foot sightings as well as a trailer park with all the modern conveniences of the 1950's. We'll dine on fine foods fit for the homeless and hear scary stories by open flame. Finally we'll go where the streets have no name to find out that we still haven't found what we're looking for. Have fun and enjoy

Throw in a little bit of beatnik Shakespeare, the king of Blarney, and a couple of Mountain Goats and you've got one fine show if we don't say so ourselves. So good luck to you, happy podcasting, and remember what the Irish say A kind word never broke anybody's mouth

We have jam packed so much great stuff into this podcast that we can confidently proclaim that it would be mildly impractical to list it all here. So here is just a taste of what's in store for you when you click that play button. First of all two words: Krampus and Party. Join us as we sample traditional food and spirits all while talking about the history, music and traditions of jolly old St. Nicks' hatchet man. We'll salute Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of the theme song from "The Grinch" and provide a glimpse into hollywood as we interview budding filmmaker Alan Holt.

We're back . . . and this time we brought Zombies. In this installment the gentlemen at SISG talk about those chilling moments that warm your heart. Man about town Uncle Frank talks to Jamie and Bryan Blair, the proprietors of L.A. establishment "the 8 ball".

Well everyone it's finally here: The inaugural podcast from the gentlemen at Strange, Interesting, and Slightly Gamey. The theme for our exciting debut is of course Halloween, our favorite holiday.

A discussion on the spookiest yard haunts in the greater Los Angeles area, a salute to Vincent Price, plus musical selections from the SISG audio vault and much, much more. We've basically thrown in a little of everything to see if we can tickle your fancy and wet your whistle for the exiting things we have planned for future episodes.
