When one is a little wooden boy, trying to be good and do what you re told, the gig economy is perfect. You can be told what to do by people who have never met you. Heck, they don’t even need to really care that you exist, so long as you bring their burger lickety-split and don’t forget their dry cleaning on the way. Can Samuel Spruce make good as a food delivery driver against all odds? Perhaps the people who live in this big creepy house know.

If you’ve been afflicted with an outbreak of fun, people living their own dang lives and a general sense that your worldview may be slowly being outmoded; then you may just have a problem with witches. Not to worry dear friend. Society has been kept from advancing faster than the locality would prefer for centuries by loyal Witchfinders like the ones featured in this historically accurate representation.

If you could time travel, when would you go? Maybe go back to ancient Turkey to see the construction of Gobekli Tepe to really stick it to those archaeology nerds at work? Would you travel back to the 1830’s to see what the climate was like before mass industrialization? How about yesterday to see where you left your right earbud. Whatever choice you would make, chances are pretty good you’d be goin gin blind. That’s why the training offered at Time Travel camp is so essential for children whose future selves end up hurtling through time like so many captains America.

There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that dating is hard. It does keep getting harder too with… well, you know.

Here at SRD we love tradition. Mostly because there are few things sillier than sticking to a decision that a dead person made in different circumstances when it’s not doing you any favors. The counterpoint, of course, is maypole dancing, fine old tradition that everyone enjoys unironically for the good of the community’s future. Have you ever danced a maypole? Our listener demographics indicate you likely have.

We don’t know how to describe this one besides to say, “imagine if Downton Abbey was absurdist and super aware of the owner class.” This show come to us from the fringe part of the BBC where they make things that can’t be shown within 300 miles of the Queen. It’s a weird thing to use their TV tax money on but not the weirdest by a long shot.
