Space Croutons

As the quest for the quardacs heats up, allies and enemies become more apparent and plans to come out on top are put into action. And Curdy and SALI are in the middle of it all while driving west to an unknown rendezvous with Nicki... Along the way they pick up some surprise hitchhikers with plans of their own.

Schemes, secrets and deals in the making... and a phone call revealing the power of music. Or at least the power of one particular tune. Curdy and SALI have a lot on their plate as the players on all sides gear up for a final chance to acquire the quardacs.

Have Curdy and SALI actually stooped to eavesdropping?  Yes, but considering what's at stake, any new bit of information can make or break the plan. They have a team, but is everyone committed? It's all coming to a head and to stay ahead of the game SALI and Curdy will do whatever they must. And these audio journals SALI has located just may help.

A surprise visit by the Benefactor finally reveals his true identity. And no one is more shocked than Curdy. no longer hiding in the shadows, the Benefactor's motives become clear as well, setting up the showdown to come.

Another journey into the Woodn't for Curdy, SALI and the others. They knew the quardacs shouldn't be brought together, but they couldn't agree on a different plan. And no one anticipated this outcome. The culmination of all that came before, this is the showdown that had to happen. Lives will indeed be changed for those who survive.

The first season has happened and before we jump into season two, here is a look behind the scenes as SALI chats with Jerry, Della, John and Jeff about how this whole crazy journey started. Listen in and get the scoop on the creation of Space Croutons!

Curdy and SALI are back and raring to go with a new season, this time setting up Space Croutons as an Inter-stellar,  inter-dimensional- inter-time travel show! Go with them through the newly discovered and explored transportals for fun and adventure! Today, they hear from Pete and first time contributor regarding his first time travel trip!

Former reporter Susie Farnell, who brought the elephant clock quardac to our attention last season no longer possesses the object, she has noticed strange happenings regarding her bedroom closet. Curdy and SALI pay her a visit for some iced tea and an investigation. Maybe there was more to the quardacs than we really knew.

Curdy and SALI think they are just podcasting a couple of reports from Sere about a time related trip to a Chinese restaurant with "Jake from State Farm" and a ride in a DeLorean, but signals cross and we hear part of an  Alien game of D&D.  Throw in the part about the duck and we get the beginnings of a new mystery to solve in the best tradition of "Space Croutons".

Aiden pays Curdy and SALI another visit along with Brittney and Dat. They bring  new information about the residual effects of possessing the quardacs and a warning about others who may be looking to use these powers. Can Space Croutons remain a simple travel show? Or will villains from the past pull them off course? 

Despite their best efforts, Curdy and SALI's latest episode is interrupted by the aliens formerly known as (among other things) the Grobanites Motor Cycle Gang.  A new trade offer? An old disagreement? It might make you wonder about intelligent life on other planets. It might be the silliest negotiations this side of Quell! But not to worry, Curdy and SALI regain control in time for a word from today's sponsor.

As Curdy and SALI begin today's broadcast, they receive a special delivery package from and also containing an old friend from another dimension. But their joy is brief when he announces some rather alarming news about Eternity.

Curdy, SALI and Jimbo catch us up to date with their research into the Eternity problem while time traveling tourist Pete brings them the next chapter in his past and future journey, this "time"  (thanks to Bevsfordt) from one of the remotest islands on earth - Bouvet Island. Cold, wet and inhospitable, it is the perfect place for a conspiracy...

SALI has been monitoring Dandi's activities and gives us the latest which includes Flint and her brother Florian, a secret message and a handful of science fiction movie references. Not to mention a new quest for an old quardac...

A new app for a new day as Sere and Seiver report on portal access for Space Croutons. Our world seems to be getting smaller and bigger at the same time! And speaking of ducks... (okay, we weren't but when Curdy does he starts quacking again, until Seiver helps him out once and for all! And for that we (and especially SALI) are extremely thankful!

Curdy and SALI reunite with some familiar faces who bring their new discoveries to the attention of our listeners. The quardacs that are left are proving to be even more mysterious and elusive. And Aiden, Dat, Lucy and Brittney are on a mission as Curdy begins showing signs of...who knows what?

Poi, oh Poi, oh Poi! Jimbo, Curdy and SALI are headed to the planet Poi and its lone city Poi Vegas. But they're not going there for the casinos or the floorshows. They heard that Joe is there and they must find him. All while dealing with Poi's unusual atmosphere that causes residents and visitors alike to break into a showtune when an appropriate song cue has been spoken.

Dandi Lyon reaches out to the Space Croutons podcast, asking Curdy and SALI to broadcast her plea for help to put down the rebellion on Quell. And she's joined by a couple of other familiar faces to make her case: Dat and Aiden.

Seiver and his friend Farewin have a story to share with Curdy, SALI and the Space Croutons podience. After moving to a new home with his family, Seiver found an abandoned structure in the woods with a vintage shortwave radio and a cabinet full of Seiver's favorite snacks.  Who was the operator? When were they there? For what purpose? And what's the connection to Seiver?

Curdy takes a mysterious trip, but not through the looking glass. He somehow enters a snow globe where he finds an old friend who has been stuck there for quite a while. Can they get out? And if they can, how?  One thing is certain, they now know that SANTA is real.

Curdy and SALI have a lot of distractions these days, but nothing is going to stop them from podcasting today's story. Pete's adventure continues with a trip to the Well of Hell. The mission is becoming clearer, but there are still surprises in store for our courageous traveler. Lucky for him, Carmen Gregor and the rest are still on board.

Dat and Aiden are helping  Dandi with the Rebellion. Meanwhile, Brittney needs access to the Snow Globe, which is in Curdy's possession. But there appears to be more than one person who thinks it might be a technology (power source or portal) that could stop the Dissentients and the rebellion. But, who will get it from Curdy first? And what's up with aliens playing games?

It's a surprise family affair as Seiver contributes his current experience using the ham radio set up from the shack in the woods. Not even he knew what the connections were, are and will be. Throw in a few computer data cards, a geocache reminder and even a bit of homage to "Quantum Leap" and the result is a story for the books!

Curdy drove Van Helsing to the Indianapolis Speedrome and then left SALI, Jimbo and Seiver stranded so he could take off for Poi in order to protect his friends from danger. He also left instructions for them to trace and connect with his cell phone at showtime so he can explain things live on the podcast. And what they find out changes everything.

With guest host Penny Knowles filling in for Curdy, SALI looks into a report from Sere, Brittney, Lucy and Vera regarding the snow globe, a search for a Yeti and statues come to life in Birmingham Alabama. The who, what, where and why are all questions needing answers and who but SALI could manage all that?

With Curdy incapacitated, it is left to SALI to bring Alexa's story to the show. Her story about her planet Disse and it's leaders do not bring confidence about how things are being run during the Quell rebellion.

Now knowing where Curdy has gone, SALI, Vera, Lucy, Bug and Jimbo head to Poi in hopes of  rescuing him. What they find there is an even bigger mystery. Throw in the Candidate, Joe and a stowaway and the musical adventure just does not stop!

Pete is back with the next leg of his multi-episodic journey, along with Carmen, Sergei, Gregor and of course, Bevsfordt. This finally brings him to Disse with the follax in an attempt to set the energy wave to reverse Eternity. And of course, the aliens do their best to make the trip as difficult as possible.

SALI and the gang are dealing once again with interference from the Aliens but in doing so they are presented with a chance to bring Joe and Curdy back from their petrified state. But no one anticipated the price.

Alexa brings SALI news from Quell about a resolution to the rebellion, with the three leaders of the planets coming to terms and settling once and for all their differences. After hearing from each of them, one can see why it was a tricky task from the get go.

The episodes of season 2.0 have all led to this exciting climax! SALI leads an intrepid team including Vera, Lucy, Joe and Brittney to what they think will be a relaxing chance to rest and regroup at a trans-resortal hotel. Little did they know that it would turn into a test to free the human race in all it's dimensions!
