Episode transcript available here It's definitely NOT a good sign when baleful possession by a vile abomination from beyond space and time ISN'T the nadir of your day, right? The gang yet again find themselves face to face with Agent Pyburn, with Mr. Jack forcibly putting in a few words just to make everything worse... and yet, Des' most difficult conversation of the day is still to come. Albion f...

Did you know that "bon yenne!" is an expression in Québécois for expressing surprise or astonishment? Just thought I'd mention it; no reason. The gang spend this part of their journey learning yet more about being on the giving end - as well as the receiving end - of timely acts of heroism, whether they like it or not. Albion has that glow about him, Desdemona is quick on the draw, Ro has yet more...

I'm sorry, Jean Craighead George; I forgot to put a falcon in this episode. I guess I'll return my Newbury Medal. The gang remain separated. Everyone tries to determine where the bulk of them have ended up - and whose help to accept in their attempts to reunite. Albion drains his battery, Desdemona phones a friend, Ro hangs up on a frienemy, and Sylvester remembers how to do doctorin'; with specia...

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur! Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, OH GOD IT'S EATING MY FACE While most of the gang are stuck in the Nevernever, Des tries to quickly pull off a magical feat well above her weight class.

Just as soon as the gang is back together in Burlington, they're called by their friends in Monkton to investigate a mystery... if they can get there in one piece, that is. Albion litters and nearly loses his head, Desdemona goes for the Kobe,...

The fourth wall sometimes struggles to exist in this third (and possibly final) episode of our gang of plucky, oddball monster hunters playing a tabletop RPG where they play a gang of plucky, oddball monster hunters. How will they handle Albion's big villain, and will their methods of madness cause Albion to have a breakdown? Listen and find out! Starring Christine Tardif as Desdemona Brown, Dariu...

Things get no less meta in this second episode of our gang of plucky, oddball monster hunters playing a tabletop RPG where they play a gang of plucky, oddball monster hunters. This, plus the spellcasters playing tech savvy non-wizards, presents unique challenges for Albion. Starring Christine Tardif as Desdemona Brown, Darius Southland as Dr. Sylvester Coopersmith, Gwen Vetter as Ro Kamen, Michael...

Sam Coopersmith finally arranges a first date with Sly's student, Alfonso. You remember him, right? The one who tried to use his vampiric powers to put the whammy on her when they first met? Clearly, this is a good decision on the part of all involved; with special guest Michelle Wetherbee as Samantha Coopersmith. Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Green Mountain Mysteries! Follow us here! Tw...

Things get awfully meta in this side story, as our gang of plucky, oddball monster hunters decide to escape from reality for a bit. How, you ask?

Before we begin chapter five, it's time for another interlude! This time, Thom takes the GM chair as the gang leave Burlington to once again help a family member in need. (Content warning: contains more cursing and violence than usual, somehow) Stuart Wellington from The Flop House podcast joins us as we wrap up this adventure the only way we know how: with a good old fashioned monster fight! But...

It's time for our Thanksgiving episode, as part of the 2021 Pocket Podcast Potluck celebration! The gang gathers at Desdemona's house for a Thanksgiving party with their closest friends. Unfortunately, it seems they might've partied TOO hard last night... and now they need to reconstruct the events of their raucous holiday rager to answer some pressing questions: where did these trashy romance nov...

Before we begin chapter five, it's time for another interlude! This time, Thom takes the GM chair as the gang leave Burlington to once again help a family member in need. (Content warning: contains some uncomfortable depictions of violence) After some late night reconnaisance turns into a brawl, Sly, Des, Ro, and Nat have to face some uncomfortable realities, as nobody around them turns out to be...

It's time for our good friends at No Dice to make like friendly ghosts and take unholy possession of our feed for a special SpOoKy Halloween episode!

Welcome to the finale for the fourth chapter of Green Mountain Mysteries! (Content warning: this one gets a little gory) The gang finally finds answers to one of their most personal mysteries, only to - what else - solve a new problem with violence and come away with a dozen more questions. Albion has a flare for the dramatic, Desdemona pulls off an Overdrive summon, Ro finally finds a boat, and S...

And that's why... you always leave... a note. Desperate to follow up on the voicemails they received, the gang do some snooping and (once again!) nearly get themselves blown up. Albion gets his right and left mixed up, Desdemona clears the air, Ro looks askance at a sconce, and Sylvester begrudgingly accepts a creemee. Starring Christine Savage as Desdemona Brown, Darius Southland as Dr. Sylvester...

Mr. Jack is most certainly NOT "mostly harmless." (Content warning: contains intense depictions of trauma and abuse) The rest of the gang rush to save Ro from the torments of everyone's least favorite Outsider, as an already overwhelming day somehow gets even worse. Albion debates an immortal being, Desdemona is just vibin', Ro hears a name, and Sylvester attempts to return a book. Starring Christ...

Starring Christine Savage as Desdemona Brown, Darius Southland as Dr. Sylvester C...

If a certain Vermont-based ice cream duo wants to sponsor our show, we certainly won't say no! Please, PLEASE give us an opportunity not to say no; we're begging you. The gang continues their separate journeys toward revelation, each hoping to find - or not find - certain answers. Albion's future looks bright, Desdemona helps a ghost, Ro stands up for herself, and Sylvester lives on the floor now;...

Answers we would have also accepted: Creepy Magellan, Ectom Tom, and Boooooo-gle Maps. Okay, maybe we wouldn't have accepted that last one. Also, is the Waze logo a ghost, or is that just me? The gang splits up and goes hunting for answers, each of them in their own unique way... though it leads to unexpectedly crossing paths. Albion sees a cool bird again, Desdemona disrupts a nap, Ro makes a hou...

Get away from Ro, you bitch! (Note: this episode does contain actual giant bugs.) While most of the gang encounters a terrifying monstrosity from another world, Des instead spends the evening working on a farm; only time will tell who had the better day. Albion sees a cool bird, Desdemona pets a cow, Ro chats up a frienemy, and Sylvester sends a grandma email. Starring Christine Savage as Desdemon...

Chapter four is here, and while it doesn't start with a bang, the mystery of what's happening to Burlington deepens... and spreads. But first, the gang takes some time for themselves and celebrates a birthday - at least, until they're inevitably drawn them back into the action. Albion answers a literal call to adventure, Desdemona tries to keep it together, Ro eats too much cake, and Sylvester is...
