Campfire Classics Podcast

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Always smell things that smell. I think that's the moral of this episode. Please email me to tell me if I'm wrong at thisisntarealemailaddress@idontcare.com. This week Heather has a story for Ken to read, and somehow they just seem to magically agree that it was written by a fictional character on a terrible '90s sitcom instead of by Mr. Ge...

And for some reason Heather has chosen this week to see how many accents she can fit into one hour. Goo...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! WARNING Skip the 40 seconds from 1:20-2:00.  It nothing but two crass jokes that you will not be a better person for listening to. They were left in because the podcast is contractually obligated to meow out a couple words every few episodes and we were behind on our quota. Now that you've been warned, I return you to our regularly schedule...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! We got a surprising number of positive responses to last week's Pooh Break, and since the folks here at the Campfire Classics Campsite are still a little frazzled (sometimes life just gets you like that), the Pooh Break continues. "Winnie-the-Pooh" was published in 1926. Email us at 5050artsproduction@gmail.com . Remember to tell five frien...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! This week got away from the team, as will happen. While they take a little time off, enjoy a little Pooh break.  And yes, we're going to keep using that pun because we, collectively, have the humor and intellect of an eleven year old and think it is funny. "Winnie-the-Pooh" was published in 1926. Email us at 5050artsproduction@gmail.com . R...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Hmmm...what does this week's title mean? A curse of Wagner? A curse in the style of Wagner? Is Wagner a curse? You tell us!  After you've listened, of course Heather has chosen a story for Ken to read this week by Japanese author Haruki Murakami called "The Second Bakery Attack".  It is a confusing ride, and not only because it is technical...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! This episode is just a D.A.R.E. ad. Or possibly a McDonald's ad. Either way, your hosts have sold out and are clearly suckling on the corporate teat.  Listen, you'll get it.  Ken chose this week's story, which panders to some pretty base ideologies.  It was written by T.S. Arthur, and Heather reads it well, but only after we've been subject...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! It's a mad mad mad mad...well I don't know if I'm legally allowed to finish that sentence or if that would be plagiarism.  But the world is a mess and so is this week's story. We've got a new author named Holmes, who is probably no relation to the famous detective since our author is an American and Sherlock is British and imaginary. Heathe...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Apparently our hosts really do have no sense of decorum, decency, or humor. And I have to sit and listen to this whole thing to try to come up with adequate warnings for you, dear listener, so you know what you're getting yourself in to. Okay, so Clown Corner this week is inexplicably educational, the author's Fun Facts (provided by Ken thi...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! If you were going to list the things in this world that you fear the most, what would be on that list? Now, take that list and make it a song. That's basically this episode. It makes very little sense, and your hosts are so gobsmacked by the story that the barely manage a single dick joke. Ken has chosen a story for Heather this week by the...

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! We're revisiting an author we haven't touched on since Episode 42 this week.  Nathaniel Hawthorne!  You know what that means? Your hosts are extra professional and focused this week because he's a really important author... Or something.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! What do Insane Clown Posse, Surfing, and Kathy Bates have in common?  This podcast episode! Plus, Patron Saint of Campfire Classics, Dame Agatha Christie, is back with a story for us this week with none of her usual character.
