Tales from Cottonwood Trails

In this second, and final, installment of The Wool over Our Eyes, Morton and Frank ("Sheerluck Homes" and "The Doctor") find themselves in a wolf village, only to discover yet more mysteries unfolding! Where will this all end?!?

Morton and Frank get an unexpected visit from a sheep in distress! Stella the sheep is worried about her brother, Charlie, who has mysteriously gone missing, and so she turns to the duo for help! Can "Sheerluck Homes" (and his trusty sidekick, "The Doctor") solve the case?!

When Morton is left feeling a little down, after struggling to keep up with the others in Rob's trivia game, Abbie tells him a story to help him see things from a slightly different perspective!

Episode 3 of "Animal Talk"! In this episode, Oz, Rosie, and Morton tell us about a wacky animal that lives in the ocean: the Cuttlefish! Look out for another full-length episode, coming soon!

Mathilda's having one of her stressful days again! And after getting some stress-beating suggestions from Oz and Rosie (which unfortunately end up making things worse!), she desperately turns to Abbie for help... only to get some slightly unexpected advice!

Episode 2 of "Animal Talk"! In this episode, Oz, Rosie, and Morton tell us about one of the most unique animals in the world: the Platypus! Look out for another full-length episode, coming soon!

In place of a full-length episode today, here's episode no. 1 of "Animal Talk"! - the "radio show" where animals talk about animals! Oz, Rosie, and Morton—broadcasting out of Rob's recording studio up in the trees (see episode 28: Wallys and Badgerbumps )—tell us some really cool facts and info about the amazing animals that can be found in God's creation, starting, in this episode, with the teeny...

In the concluding episode of "Hornswoggled" - Mathilda, Morton, and Oz have successfully bluffed their way into the basement of "Delicacies for the Destitute", but Mathilda's plan to bring an end to the Pie Rats' sneaky plot to swindle pies from the animals of Cottonwood Trails soon backfires, leaving our three heroes with little choice but to invoke "Pie-lay"...

Happy New Year to all our listeners! 🎉 When Mathilda, Morton, and Oz deliver some pies to Delicacies for the Destitute, and realise that something doesn't seem quite right, they set off to investigate, and soon find out that there's "more than meets the pie!" when it comes to this charity!

Christmas morning brings an unpleasant surprise for Mathilda, after she receives some terrible gifts from Morton! And upon arrival at Rob's treehouse, she discovers that she's not the only one unhappy with Morton's ghastly gift choices! This episode is all about thankfulness, and so we want to take a moment to say a HUGE thank you to our faithful listeners! We appreciate you SO much, a...

When Morton and Frank (AKA "Sheerluck Homes" and "The Doctor") are asked by Winnifred to investigate why Alice has been so rude to her, they discover that the root of the issue lies in a story that's been told to Alice. But they soon realise that there's something not quite right about this story! And the more they investigate, the more ridiculous things get!

Once again, the gang find themselves sitting round a campfire in Autumn telling stories - only this time, they're joined by Rob, who tells a story of his own - one that doesn't go down too well with Oz, Rosie, and Morton! Want a reminder of how this tradition started? Why not listen to (or re-listen to) the original Campfire Stories episode!

Here's the second episode of Safety Tips with Rob. Enjoy! And we'll be back with another full-length Cottonwood Trails episode on October 1st!

Rob, Rosie, Morton, and Frank take some vital steps forward in their search for Mac Beaver (way too many steps for Frank's liking!), while Sam, Abbie, and Mathilda finally get to meet the crazed mastermind behind all that's been going on, and get an unnerving glimpse into this roguish ruler's diabolical plans!
