Rish Outcast 330: My Friend of Misery 3

 

It's the new normal. Brielle Montrose tries to live her life, while her brother and his new "friend" are living theirs.

Afterwards, Rish opens a can of worms talking about bullies (I even considered cutting it out, since the episode was so long, but here we are) and even quotes Nietzsche.

Note: These three MFOM episodes were recorded before I realized it was a mistake to attach my microphone to the seatbelt instead of my shirt.

It's our tenth episode hecktacular! Still waiting on the new bathroom lock, by the way.

Rish talks about a patron making accusations on the night the police were called twice.  And an outtake that made Rish cry before recording it.

Podcast That Dares 69: The Cold Equations

 

Rish presents one of the most famous Science Fiction stories of the 20th Century, 1954's "The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin.

Afterward, Rish talks about the story at length. How big a shock is the reveal of the stowaway, and what does that say about the reader? What was the hardest part of performing it? If Rish were editing the story now, how much would he cut out?


Note: This is one of the longest episodes I've produced. If you stick around long enough, you'll hear my impression of a YouTuber playing Minecraft. Was it worth it?

Rish Outcast 327: My Friend of Misery 1

Afterward, Rish tells (in excruciating detail) the inspiration for this story, wonders about the genders of the characters, and proposes an assignment for a Writing class.

Rish Outcast 326: In Security 9 (The Thing Wrapped In The Blanket)

 

Rish tells a lengthy (interminable?) story about a patron with a wrapped-up object. "Incompetence is about to strike." Also, he encounters The Man In The Stall.

Note: I really ought to go back and retroactively retitle all these episodes with lurid titles like this one.
