Episodes

Proven Guilty pt. 1: 1-6: If They're Moving, Its Not My Problem 29.10.2023

Wherein Harry watches and talks murder with a dude he hates, has a good convo with a dude he doesnt trust, gets rear ended by a dude he doesnt know, and gets a difficult and dangerous mission from a dude we know nothing about! I almost spoiled a thing here or there, but I think I stuttered my way out of it. Lyssy gives us some juicy theories and also lets us know what the threshold is for tak...

Dead Beat pt. 7: Chapters 38-43: Bobosaurus Rex 22.10.2023

Wherein the magnificent Sue rides again! Harry takes a back seat to the true hero. He also opens Pandora's Box with a fallen angel and threatens a very powerful Blampire, but the necromancy takes center stage this week. Morgan tries to kill Harry (what's new?), we meet the incredibly fun Warden Ramirez, and we see how obscenely powerful the Captain is as our heroes take on the worst of the worst K...

Dead Beat pt. 6: Chapters 32-37: Buttery Smooth Rescues 15.10.2023

Wherein Harry gets almost murderfied by the 5th scariest bad guy of the day, but gets rescued by AT BEST the hundredth best rescuer! Butters also forced Shiela to unscramble the letters in her name in this chunk, so he's definitely getting the MVP this week. Bob and Thomas are great in their cameo, the backyard was a'rockin but Cowl and Kumori still come a'knockin, the Wild Hunt is out in force, a...

Dead Beat pt. 5: Chapters 26-31: Temporarily Stairs 08.10.2023

Wherein Harry hobbles up and down too many steps on his ouchy calf to remember the power's out! Not a ton of action but a LOT happens. Harry calls in the cavalry before getting ready to ring up a nasty Fae, Kumori pops up to chat all cryptic like--as she is wont to do, Thomas makes birthday pancakes, Luccio thinks Harry might look good in grey, and Lyss thinks Mac's got a puppy. Its the calm befor...

Dead Beat pt. 4: Chapters 19-25: A Computer in Shambles, and Light Word Play 01.10.2023

Wherein Harry's defenses go boom, we see a fallen angel, a the series' first cavalry, such as it was. But most importantly, awe saw the birth of a mantra that will long be shouted from the rooftops by middle aged accordion aficionados the whole world over over! Polka never dies but many parts of my computer DID. My choice was iffy audio or no pod till next weeek? Shrug emojis and apologies and che...

Dead Beat pt. 3: Hosted By A Corpse Taker and Josh 24.09.2023

Wherein Harry chases trouble on purpose for a change, and boy does he find it. Our ever-growing list of antagonists in this one has grown to: a black court vampire, the necrcomancer Grevane and his trusty sidekick Phil the Zombie (might be dead again), the cryptic and powerful duo Cowl and Kumori, a hungry ghoul, a pretty girl with insanely powerful mind magic who styles herself as The Corpsetaker...

Dead Beat pt. 2: Chapters 7-12: Fully Armed and Operational Ectomancer 17.09.2023

Dead Beat pt. 1: Chapters 1-6: Coroners are the REAL Heroes 10.09.2023

Wherein Harry gets fussy with Thomas, jealous of Kincaid, and protective of Butters. We learn zombies are fast, not plodding, Butters is receptive to info--after a fashion, and Murphy has almost as many houseplants as an insane coroner investigator we all know and love. Josh tries (and fails) not to say too much--whats new--but we all get excited over the prospect of a fun necro-venture with the g...

Blood Rites pt. 7: Chapters 36-42: Relevant XKCD 02.09.2023

Wherein Harry tackles Lord Raith, Murphy kicks a lady's head clean off (basically), Thomas gets his neck broken but it like totally chill, and Bobby puts on his hero cape. Words are hard, technology harder still, but we sneak in under the wire yet again! Your humble hosts meander through an extra chapter this week so please excuse the mess, but the bone breaking conclusion of Blood Rites starts......

Blood Rites pt. 6: Chapters 30-35: Techtonic Talk With Josh and Lyss 26.08.2023

Wherein Harry wishes he didnt know now what he didnt know then about Ebeneezer, Kincaid undresses Murphy, and before Mavra gets shrapneled, she shows Harry's left hand the same love and kindness that he shows most Chicago buildings. Things get warm, Josh works out a theory that he can't share with his sister, Alyssa digs into basements, and you all get a blueprint for ensnaring your seventh favori...

Blood Rites pt. 5: Chapters 24-29: Weird Mom Vibes 20.08.2023

Blood Rites pt. 3: Chapters 13-17: Selling like Hotdicks 06.08.2023

Wherein Harry gets fully wrapped up in White Court intrigue. Thomas is shady, Lara is CrazySexyCool (also a little murderous), and Inari is clueless. Harry makes a magic turkey go thwap and diagnoses a problem where the only prescription is more anvil. Josh and Alyssa try and fail to understand idioms, but create a new one or three to balance it out. Blood Rites is starting to cook! Grab your favo...

Blood Rites pt. 2: Chapters 7-12: You're Right, I Don't Believe You 01.08.2023

Wherein Harry's first day on the porn set goes awry. Gisele gets her neck sliced and her ribs broke, Murphy's sister is punishing her with happiness, the puppy to be named later is adorable, Bobby is a jerk, and Kincaid's back--and so are Kincaid theories! Josh like Joan's intro, then retroactively get mad at it so I guess there's never satisfaction. I'm down a phone but up a hydroflask, and there...

Death Masks pt. 3: Chapters 13-17: My Husband is Sometimes An Idiot 25.06.2023
