Podcast That Dares 45: Oh Whistle...

 

Rish performs M.R. James's 1904 story "Oh Whistle, and I'll Come To You, My Lad."  No whistling, please.

Note: I just discovered that there was a famous 17th Century poem/song called OWAICTYML, and this is named after that.  Makes the story cooler somehow.

Rish Outcast 259: It Knows What Scares You

 

Rish expresses his irrational fear of yellowjackets and relates a recent encounter with one.  Also, he relates a Tale of eBay Horror from last year, pretty much unrelated.  But what things are you afraid of, and why?  

Note: I went through several title iterations for this one, before using the direct POLTERGEIST quote.  Only after I'd edited and published did I find a website where you could download a .WAV of the movie line.  Sigh.

Rish Outcast 253: Five Topics in Search of an Episode

 

In the most rambly episode ever, I present various topics, recorded separately, such as a Tale of eBay Horror rerun*, contemplating paying someone to edit my audiobooks, talking about a book called "Curse of the Reaper," the results of a writing contest, Grimace, the second Spider-verse movie, a presentation of "Mystery of the Semi-Detached" by E. Nesbit, self-doubt in my own abilities, and hey, why not more Grimace talk?
