    If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise... It's two short stories by HH Munro aka SAKI! Patrick Ehlers (Nintendo Cartridge Society, Same Day Shipping) joins Kelly and Katai to read/interrupt "Gabriel-Ernest" and "The Music on the Hill." Together they stumble upon some very strange, sometimes violent, sometimes sexy forest happenings-- A teenage boy with the dexterity of an otter and the body of a lifeguard! What's his story? Flute music! Where's that coming from? Should I follow it?-- and they encounter instant classic VO character Death Bed Bill Clinton! So come along for the journey!

    I've heard of juvenile delinquency but this is ridiculous! Mary Holland joins Kelly and Katai as they descend the disturbing and grotesque depths of Bram Stoker’s The Dualitists, or The Death Doom of the Double Born, with nothing but their irreverent wit to guide them... OK seriously, though, all jokes aside... This story is F*CKED UP. The Children of the Corn? The Bad Seed? The Good Son? Literal child's play compared to Harry Merford and Tommy Stanton, names that will now haunt us (AND YOU) until our dying day.

    The Roaring 20s are brought to stunning misogynistic life in F. Scott Fitzgerald's revenge fable/sustained shade fest "Bernice Bobs Her Hair." Kelly, Katai, and guest Ryan Mogge (Hellmouthy, Same Day Shipping)read and frequently interrupt descriptions of men who "casually go to Yale" and women who "get kissed in the backs of dowagers' limousines." Yeesh. Buckle up. Check your privilege at the door. And keep that barber's chair warm. Because Bernice is coming. Plus a passionate defense of Zelda Fitzgerald. And a reenactment of F. Scott Fitzgerald's death by candy bar.Follow Public Domain Theater on Instagram and Twitterhttp://twitter.com/publicdomainpodhttp://instagram.com/publicdomainpodPublic Domain Theater is a Forever Dog Podcasthttp://foreverdogproductions.com/fdpn/podcasts/public-domain-theater/
