Pack up your cowboy hat and your best beans, we're heading to "The Dude Ranch"! Straight from a 1936 issue of Western Story Magazine comes a tale of- well, more like an advice column of thrills, packing tips, and a surprising level of detail about the dark, damp secrets of Hidden Valley Ranch. Bring the kids!
This episode includes a promo for The Story Song Podcast, an excellent listen that everyone should subscribe to. Every episode they discuss a different narrative song, like "Jolene" by Dolly Parton or "Regulate" by Warren G. featuring Nate Dogg (two personal faves), in all its glory.

What is "The Whispering Ether"? Is it a goth zine from the 90s? Is it the name of the letter column of a goth zine from the 90s? No, it's the creation of a mad scientist )who is much better at monologuing than scientisting) that allows him to read the minds of at least two people: A safecracker sent to steal his secrets and the leader of a European country to be named later. From the June, 1926 issue of Amazing Stories comes a tale of super-science that will astound you! Plus we discuss ghosts, Marconi, Tik Tok celebs, pirates, man parts, radio parts, buffoonery, charcuterie, cartoonery, and much, much more.

In this episode we peruse the pulse-pounding pugilistic parable "Like a Stick"! Punched straight from the Fall, 1949 issue of Fight Stories magazine (motto: "Our Name is a Spoiler for our Stories!"), "Like a Stick" is the tale of an unlikely prizefighter with an even unlikelier physique. That's right: He's really a kangaroo! Okay, he's just skinny, sigh...

Recorded live at the 2020 Livestream for the Cure charity podcasting marathon, it's "Terran Treachery Trips Luna" from the January, 1952 issue of Fantastic Adventures magazine! This almost alliterative tale of lunar diamond madness has spacesuits and flare guns and wagons with tongues and proves the moon truly is a harsh mistress (but not the fun kind).
NOTE ON SOUND: This was a live telethon so some of the theme music is a little low in the mix (don't worry, it's only the music). You will also hear occasional loud noises announcing donations throughout the segment. Sorry about that but we love to help raise money for cancer research!
You will also sometimes hear Nick from the Epic Film Guys podcast, who, along with some other great podcasters, created the entire event and raised over $15,000 for the Cancer Research Institute. It's a terrific org, a fantastic event, and he's a pretty swell dude. Listen to Epic Film Guys wherever you listen to podcasts or learn more at http://www.epicfilmguys.com/.

Live from Twitch, it's Interrupted Tales! Not on a Saturday! And with several minutes of Rob filling air while Alan frantically tries to get back in the stream! Welcome to the Hoosac, listeners. Hope you survive the experience!
This episode was recorded live from Twitch so listen along, warts and all, to a riveting history of tunnel drilling, manholes, and trains going to Troy, NY from Massachusetts in "Conquering the Hoosac" from the April, 1936 issue of Railroad Stories magazine. What's a Hoosac? Find out inside! Hint: It's not a new Kickstarter project even though it really sounds like one.

The hiatus is over! We're back, baby, unless you're listening to this later or catching up on the podcast, in which case we've never left, much like Big Boy. In this episode we head to a ritzy casino as a desperate man spins the wheel of fortune in what might be "The Last Throw"! From the November, 1922 issue of World Fiction magazine comes a tale that always bets on black! Actually, the guy bets on red in the story but I always listen to Wesley Snipes when it comes to gambling tips.

Happy New Year! Unless you're listening outside of the month of January, in which case carry on. It's 2020 and in this episode we're interrupting "The White Death," a 99 year-old tale of survival all the way from Paraguay! It's actually all the way from the pages of Pluck and Luck magazine (slogan: "We're Pluckin' Luckin' Good!") and features a menagerie of threats as a woman fights the dangers of the jungle to protect her daughter. 9 out of 10 Swamp Things agree that this story is a story. The other one is just Swamp Gary and Swamp Gary doesn't like agreeing.

Set your Kris' to "Kringle" and your calendars back about a week as we present the 2019 Holiday Interruptiganza Live! We recorded this special episode live on Twitch and our bowls are still full of jelly. It includes three tales of holiday joy PLUS a visit from the big man himself, Santa Claus. He's had a lot of eggnog and is ready to party, people (just don't mention Vixen, it's a whole thing). Also, stick around for a very specific joke about the Northern Virginia area outside Washington, DC. Fun!
