Story Time

Em Hantke (@Emburger9) returns with what is probably the penultimate episode of the My Immortal series, and boy oh boy do we have some time-shenanigans this week! We learn the author really likes bi guys (or so they say), how to cure addiction, and that David plays the piano...kinda. Don't miss out! Or do, up to you. Also- a special message/almost apology to those who listen until after the outro...

Grab your eyeliner and crank up the emo-rock, Em Hantke (@Emburger9) is back with the continuing adventures of My Immortal, the best/worst fan fic on the internet! Today we tackle huge topics like time travel, addiction, and Alzheimer's with the nuance and grace we've come to expect from the author. Also guest starring an incredibly powerful character from a completely different story! What a bonu...

It's back to the island of mystery and boy oh boy does a lot happen today! Eric Zipper returns as we get through the next chunk of season 2 of Lost! A new character with resting villain-face, a closet full of guns and heroin, and will Sayid ever get to let out his inner torture? All this week! Find Eric Zipper on Twitter @Ggrogishere

Time to go back to the island! Eric Zipper joins us again to tell us what happened to the survivors of the back section of the plane, we learn more about some of them, and we have another monster sighting (technically a horse but opinions on this are divided). And then an actual monster sighting! Find Eric Zipper on Twitter @Ggrogishere

We're back! After an TOTALLY PLANNED week off, the boys return with another Russian fairy tale. Mean rich people beware! This story has it all: social/economic commentary, complex emotional consequences, and a little magic man! Also vodka.

Go figure when the boys did Greek myths, they missed one about an ignored woman! Katherine Gorham joins us to right this wrong and tell the ancient myth of a powerful man unable to handle rejection, a woman who knows more than people give her credit for, and of course...MURDER! Check out Katherine's podcast, Frog College! Follow her on Instagram and Twitter @KatGorham!

We did it! Celebrate our 100th episode with a pair of ORIGINAL stories written by David and Michael. A western tale of treasure and betrayal, a fairy tale with tricks and farmers and the devil himself! Don't miss this one!

This week in a very special episode David brings his favorite novel to Michael, the classic sci-fi tale of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Censorship, mindless entertainment, robot dogs, and of course...FIRE. In a future that seems far too familiar, would you "wake up?" PLUS- David and Michael prepare for next week's milestone episode: EPISODE 100! Don't miss the set up for a Story Time first!

Get ready for some original flavor Story Time! It's just David and Michael today as Michael brings a classic fairy tale that somehow both forgot existed. Will a lie every get to be too much to keep going? Probably not if you're in a Brothers Grimm tale! And what's worse than horses??? HORSES WITH WEAPONS.

Season 2 baby! Eric Zipper returns to finally (kind of) answer our burning questions like what's in the hatch? How are the raft crew doing? How loud can someone scream "Walt"? A lot happens, and yet somehow we always come away knowing less than we did before!

It's time for a very special episode featuring a great friend of ours, Eric Zipper! Eric joins us to let us know about the cultural phenomenon of the mid 2000's, hit TV show Lost! David has never seen it and Michael has seen...some of it? Meet the survivors or Oceanic flight 815, pick sides, and most importantly... BWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMP Find Eric Zipper on Twitter @Ggrogishere He's also a part...

Is it possible to be so dumb you're fearless? Apparently so. See what happens when our...hero(?) is faced with hell hounds, zombies, and tight-lipped corpses. And what treasure could possibly await his success (hint: it's treasure).  Note: We know it sounds like it but this is not the same story as "The King's Son Who Feared Nothing"...although it kinda could have been.

Well hot damn, we have a doozy of a story this week! A story of courage and bravery in the old rodeo circuit, a tale old as time of man vs beast. Murderous horses, aggressive and fearless cowboys, and enough flashbacks to choke a rattlesnake, all this week!

Holy something, do we have..stories for you. Michael brings two "fairy tales" from Hans Christian Andersen that turn out to be definitely NOT fairly tales. Beware, there is STRONG religious content in this episode... and also puppets.

There's gold in them thar stories! We're headed into the world of the Old West. Tales of survival, revenge, and justice on the frontier as David brings 2 stories of gunfighters, thieves, harsh deserts, and more!

Welcome to Story Time season 2! Everything is the same, but more...seasoned? For our first episode we've got double gold, as Michael brings some classic fairy tales for David. What do you do when an old man asks for cake? How do you stop a fish from saying too much? Can someone named Dummling ever find love? Find out this week!
