Eugene, Beulah and Glade Boozler have all been trapped in the basement of the Station Inn, Nashville since the beginning of the quarantimes without a single trip out to buy emergency TP or just go for a walk to make sure the neighborhood still looks the way they remember (highly recommended). So, to say they’re going a little stir crazy is an understatement. How will a cabinet full of old games, most of which are missing pieces or have beer crusted on them, help keep them from losing it?

Ruby, Ethel and Edith are The Slay Belles, a butt kicking trio of office warriors here to kick the monsters out of your cubicle. That is, provided said monsters are literal and the kicking can be equally literal. Usually they limit themselves to the holidays, hence their team name but this year something is different. The office monsters have persisted into the fourth quarter and that can’t be good. Will they be able to find out where the monsters are coming from and stem the tide before all humanity and productivity is lost?

Samuel Spruce is a little wooden boy in the fine tradition of being a toy given life and a quest beyond one’s grasp to fully comprehend. The trouble, sadly, is that things have gotten significantly more banal and loveless since the old fairy tale days. Will Sam’s plucky attitude and optimism be enough to help him create human capital and become a real boy? Head on over to your favorite podcatcher and ask for Starlight Radio Dreams to find out.

You know how we all get taught algebra in school. So, in your adult life there’s occasionally something that makes you think you might finally need to apply one of those formulas but there is no way that you ever could? Luckily there’s no way that could ever happen but panic to recall something you should know does accompany so much of the best entertainment our generation has produced. Luckily, Zap and Cas are here to help you feel a little better about all that pressure to stay up to date.

Is it still a God complex if you literally create life and control it’s every action? The answer is yes and if you needed that clarification then we have good news! For centuries parents developing manias have found solace in sending their children into the woods to be supervised mostly by slightly older kids. Today this mostly takes the form of summer camp. In this episode of Camp Placeholder some of the Gods, who definitely have complexes, have sent some of their tykes for a developmentally interesting time that you are not going to want to miss.

Have you ever had one of those dreams where everything is going super well and you’re pretty sure it’s lulling you into a false sense of security. You can smell cookies, someone you like is there and they don’t have any hard questions about taxes, GME stock or the Premier League. The dream takes place in a nice place where you feel good and don’t have persistent shame-filled memories to associate with. Then someone comes out from around the corner but surprise, it’s a puppy. This is kinda’ like that.

Have you ever sat at your workstation pressing buttons and pulling coffee from the tube only to think, “there’s a lot of stuff I’d do differently if I were in charge around here? The people in charge don’t know how to press buttons as well as I do. Heck, I bet they don’t even know how hard it is to press buttons all day or how often the coffee tube runs out.” Well you’re right. They probably don’t. It’s even true in space. In this episode, the heroic space fighter pilots of Lionstar continue trying to get their spaceships flying. Before they do, they’re going to have to organize a feudal civilization and there’s only one manager available.

At midnight tonight everything gets better. We all know that, of course. 2021 is when the plague magically disappears, the murder hornets are revealed to be a mistake from someone accidentally having the zoom too high on their smartphone and we can all laugh that concerns about the Roomba uprising are a thing of the past. Here are two segments from Snowstice to observe and celebrate the year we had.

It’s easy to feel awkward, even around the people who know you best. So, to give you a hand we have a fresh clip from the Showtime Podcast Network. It is being described as a free sample from Doc Ypsilante, the Gesture Vigilante. Make sure to watch it before any family zoom calls you’ve got coming up. It can only help, right?

It’s a contentious world out there and no doubt about it. This time of year, the capacity for nonsense to distract from hard earned shananiganry and pastimestance is high. The Sparkle Funtime Network has partnered with the Showtime Podcast Nwetwork to bring this insightful discussion based program to your banal world in hopes that the sprit of the season can be appreciated by all right thinking elves and other less magical persons.

Do you want something with no real world consequence to argue about online? We certainly did. So, the Showtime Podcast Network secured a new show to help facilitate knock down, drag out grudge matches that are inherently meaningless. Doesn’t that sound like a better use for your vitriol than screaming at Aunt Bridgette about the news of the day?

On Snowstice Eve, a miracle has occurred. The full audio from our last live stream is available just in time to give you an idea of what to expect in tomorrow’s live stream. What could be more appropriate as the spirit of Snowstice fills our livers than a show which was chock full of spirits as well. The Starlight Radio Dreams team came together for an hour of comedy and thrill. This show marked the official beginning of our fifth season with interviews, shorts, a monologue and a new serial episode from Public Domain Adventure Team.

While Jane Eyre and Mr. Toad nearly met their death in a time traveling caper, Beowulf and the Ghost of Christmas Past had an adventure of their own.

Welcome to Cerddoriaeth Celtica, a companion piece for the Starlight Radio Dreams series “Celtica”. When we conceived of Celtica, the desire was to create an adventure serial which used music as part of the action and story. From using music to power Celtica’s magic tools to musical numbers for the big moments, Celtica does exactly that. And Cerddoriaeth Celtica lets us further explore the beauty of Celtic music, both as part of the serial and just for its own sake.
In this episode of Cerddoriaeth Celtica, Karolyn Blake, co writer for Celtica and the actor behind the title character, gets into the spirit of the season by telling the tale of “Mallt y Nos.” She also dives into the folk tradition of Welsh death omens. Spoooooky.
