Today's NPC Prompts were: Modern Setting, Goblin, Lives in the Basement, Trades services for mushrooms, Good at Short Hand, PhilosophicalIt's not really clear when the Basement Goblin showed up, but you're pretty sure it was shortly before some of your bills started getting mysteriously marked in good standing without your paying them. Basement Goblin is... well a goblin, who enjoys the cool dark of the building's underbelly. It seems they are trying to find out what is next for them. Perhaps the party could help them out?"Want to make a suggestion?

This is day one of the Dog days of Podcasting Music by Mott The episode kicks off with an intriguing introduction to the Rock and Roll Butler’s mushroom hunting escapades. Set in an undisclosed trail in upstate New York, the host shares his passion for foraging mushrooms, emphasizing his expertise. He highlights the value of mushrooms, particularly morels and chanterelles, which he considers the holy grail of edible fungi. The conversation shifts to the practical side of mushroom hunting, discussing what to do with large quantities of mushrooms and the various ways to enjoy them, including health benefits. A humorous anecdote about a past experience with psilocybin mushrooms adds a personal touch.

In which I begin again — a month, a podcast challenge, a walk — one step at a time.
Ten years of wandering, condensed into a sprint. This time around, we are bringing you a very-special retelling of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. It's high on energy but also delightfully low on patience. Because let's be honest: ten years is a long time to spend lost at sea, and we have a podcast to run. Behind the Scenes of "A Condensed-Space Odyssey" Our actors are ready, the sound effects are mostly accurate, and everything is set to go. Well, except for some last-minute edits made strictly for time-management purposes. Clinton is sure the cast won't mind. After all, who wouldn't be thrilled about having their grand theatrical moments reduced to brief cameos? Our story centers on a hero of the Trojan War, Odysseus. Right now, he's just trying to get home to Ithaca. But a petty Poseidon and a very love-struck nymph have other plans. You'll feel the ocean spray during his turbulent raft ride through monstrous whirlpools, hear the beckoning call of rock-loving sirens, and almost taste the tragic consequences of munching on flowers and farm animals. And in a faction of the time Christopher Nolan took to tell the story! Can a hero survive when his script is cut? The sails are set, the wind is in the bag, and the clock is ticking. Grab your favorite goblet of wine and join us for the ride of a lifetime! Listen now or face the wrath of a cut-for-time god! >> Special Guest Star: Bonnie Kenderdine>> You can also support comedy4cast by becoming a patron on Patreon>> Or you can get Clinton a Dunkin' card or a cup of coffee via Ko-Fi>> Follow comedy4cast on BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, MeWe, and Mastodon >> Give us a call via the Super Secret Phone Line (213) 290-4451>> Also check out Clinton's other podcast, The Topic is Trek>> Certain sounds effects heard on comedy4cast are courtesy of freeSFX and FreeSound.org Click here for a transcript of this episode.

I made a list of prompts, and wrote a bite-sized story for each one. They don’t live in the same universe, but they’re all a little off-kilter from what you might expect from holiday fare. And if you pay attention, you’ll notice that the last line of each story becomes the first line of the next. Today’s prompt is Midnight. Excerpt Jean—called Grandma Love by strangers more often than family—felt that familiar tilt in the air. The almost-midnight tilt. Midnight wasn't a time so much as a mood, a soft doorway between one thing and the next. She'd always been good with doorways. Episode Cast: Melissa A.

Today's NPC Prompts were: Western Setting, Dwarf, Bard, Performer, Alluring Face, Miserly, True Neutral, Raised by Ghosts.Too short to perform in the big city ballet company, Yvette was never deterred from what her ghostly ancestors have instilled in her. That through dance, she can tell stories and evoke emotions. The performing troupe Cirque de Sulli likes to say they found Yvette performing acts of impossible dance moves. But really, she is just very flexible. Yvette has no desire to impress anyone with gifts. "When you grow up with nothing but the ground beneath your feet, it's hard to give up the little luxuries that are given now."Want to make a suggestion?

Today's NPC Prompts were: Fantasy Setting, Gnome, Information Broker, Scoundrel, Resourceful, Has Many Vices, Neutral Evil , Trades in Bad RecipesSwill Tooth Tony has had many adventures and several groups of adventurers have traded information to this ne'er-do-well over the years.

His vices vary from adventure to adventure depending on what is available, but if it could be consumed, he is willing to melt into the shadows to earn his keep. He particularly likes sharing terrible recipes. Submitted by Nutty.Want to make a suggestion?
