    Today's the day!

  12. Bugstock '25 Teaser

    It's taking a lot longer than anticipated to edit all the segments for Bugstock '25, which is a great problem to have.

  13. Channel 45 - Keeping Up Appearances E4-5

    Katy is back to talk about Keeping Up Appearances, but also Last of the Summer Wine because we both are incapable of sticking to one topic.

    To seek out new worlds, to help animals in trouble, and to go where no pet has gone before. These are the journeys of the USS Menagerie and its captain, Mr. Nibbles Written and produced by Anna McAnallen (this and other books) Background music from Slip.stream Cover image by wirestock on...

  23. Some Things Contemplated

    We've got an interview with the inventor of the chip clip, a few callers, and a sponsor who may or may not have forgotten to practice their accent ahead of time. Two episodes in a year, who'd have thought! Background music by Oleg Kirilkov from Pixabay Sound effects and loops: FreeSound.org and...

  24. Lazy, Sneezy, Breezy

    Several fake commercials, a parody of Crazy, a PSA from Belinda Incisor whose accent is atrocious and may be a vampire, and a much shorter run time than anticipated. Will there be weekly short shows? Will the next episode happen in 2024 and be 3 hours long? Your guess is as good as mine Sound...
