E010: Holiday 2017 Interruptiganza
Dec 19, 2017
Dec 19, 2017
1hr 15 sec
Tis' the season to be interrupted! This week we get in the spirit (and possibly spirits) and posit whether it's better to give or receive (an empty box) and then saddle up a reindeer for TWO Christmas-themed stories: "Little Jean" and "A Kidnapped Santa Claus". In the first story, we meet a little boy who has never even heard of Christmas in the literally unpronouncable country he is from, but somehow he figures it out all on his own. In the second, well - it's pretty messed up, honestly - but we tackles elves' rights, stooge-like "demons", and wackily named creatures like Nuter, Wisk, and Febreze. The whole thing is basically a sourcebook for an incredibly unpopular AD&D setting. And now it's time to curl up in a sleigh and got your nog on, while we read you this week's tales.

Sports fever takes center stage as we talk about the virtues of YouTube white noise options and then thunder right into a story that's about football (yet doesn't really feature football) and love (as written by a man who has clearly never known the touch of another person). This week's story genre: Adventure? Romance? It’s time to curl up in your favorite chair (or bleacher) and grab a drink while we read you this week’s tale.

We "acquire" pumpkins and enjoy a story where we jump to conclusions about what our husbands are doing with far more interesting females. This week's story genre: Romance. It’s time to curl up in your favorite coat and grab a drink while we read you this week’s tale.
It's 1916 and you are a wife and mother with the perfect life until you receive vague, really vague, incredibly vague rumors about your husband and another woman. Is Tyler Perry making period films now? No, it's "Her Husband" from Breezy Stories magazine (slogan: "Nothing Too Serious, Keepin' It Easy"). Romance, a woman spurned, an affair uncovered. Finally, a story that takes a hard-hitting look at life for a woman in a perilous time in history. We kid, of course, women couldn't even vote, let alone actually be the stars of their own stories! It's all their in the title, folks.
