Rish Outcast 2: Subtext

As promised/threatened, here is the first "actual" episode of my solo podcast, essentially designed for me to read one of my stories, then talk about it. It's basically a much more stripped-down version of The Podcast That Dares Not Speak Its Name, which has two more forthcoming episodes, but since I haven't worked on them since February (or earlier), they are distantly forthcoming.

In this episode of the Outcast, I present the extended, full version of my story "Subtext," about the text messages from a dead girl's phone. It has been seen, here and there, in a 500 word edit.

Afterward, I talk about the tale, its point, and the one champion of it over the years.

Rish Outcast 1

Months ago, when Big and I recorded our last episode of the Dunesteef (by "last," I mean "most recent"), he encouraged me to create a solo podcast where I read stories and then talk about them. I told him that I already have a podcast where I do that (The Podcast That Dares Not Speak Its Name), and he told me nobody ever hears those, that he was suggesting I do something like his Anklecast, where he records it during his drive to work, does no editing, and posts it on his blog. "You could call it," he said, "the Rish Outcast."

Well, I sort of scoffed, despite the title being rather brilliant. And then, on the drive home, I went ahead and decided to do it. This is the recording I made on that drive, and the actual story-driven episodes are forthcoming.

Enjoy?

The Podcast That Dares Not Speak Its Name 2: Know When To Walk Away, Know When To Run

Does anyone remember when Rish said a bunch of offensive things and was thrown off the Dunesteef show? Luckily for him, Big gave him a second chance and the Dunesteef continues (well, sort of) to this day.

But in an alternate timeline, Rish never got to come back, and continued to be annoying in a podcast of his own, a Podcast That Dares Not Speak Its Name. In that show, Rish is on his own (though often joined by Fake Sean Connery), making recommendations, reading stories and talking about them alone in his one-room apartment. A few months ago, one of those episodes surfaced in our timeline, to be shared with the regular donators of the Dunesteef. It features the story "Know When To Walk Away, Know When To Run" by--big surprise--Outfield himself.

Today, another episode has been discovered. It's on its way to those who have subscribed to donate to the show (whether monthly or quarterly), but the previous episode is here for everyone's . . . er, enjoyment?

Be warned, this show is 100% Rish Outfield (even the story was written by him). So if you hate him, you'll really hate him after this.

The Podcast That Dares Not Speak Its Name 1: The Tell-tale Heart

A special Halloween treat (no, make that trick) for all of our listeners.

Edgar Allen Poe wrote a story based on a famous country music song called, “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Rish Outfield performs a reading of this classic tale just too late for anyone to actually listen to it before Halloween.

Afterward, Rish and special guest, Big Anklevich, talk about their favorite Halloween costumes, and Fake Sean Connery talks about his exploits with all the various members of our hosts’ families. What a delightful little scamp he is.

The Podcast That Dares Not Speak Its Name 0: Promo

Rish asked me if I would play the promo for his new podcasting venture. Out of pity, after he told me how dull and two-dimensional the phantom zone is, I agreed. So, here you go.
