Outcast Update

We're now five weeks behind with the Rish Outcast episodes, between the Patreon feed and this one.  So, since I'm now dropping the Halloween episodes of my podcast, I'm going to have to post the Halloween shows next, and then get the earlier ones posted in November.  That way, the Christmas show(s?) will still drop in December.

Rish Outcast 181: Try Your Luck

So, this is the third (and final) Praisden Pickle Days Carnival story I'm presenting on the show.  It was actually the first one written, though.  Have a great (memory of) summer!

Rish Outcast 160: 12 Goals For 2020

So, it's a new year (according to some, a new decade), and I thought I'd make a list of five goals for 2020.  Then that list became ten.  And here is an episode where I talk about my even dozen goals for the year.

I'm putting them out here so people will hold me to them.  Perhaps there's entertainment value there too.
