    Just Don't

    Just Don't

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    I'm not even gonna pretend this one isn't cool. It starts with a bizarre little song from Heather and really just keeps going from there!
    Okay, so, Ken has chosen a story for Heather to read by H.G. Wells, which is always a good time. It's called "The Stolen Body," and yes, it is every bit as ominous as it sounds.
    Along the way, your hosts talk personal ghost stories, who lasted longer as a barista, and the anatomical endowment of Greek Gods.
    Oh! And stick around for the end of the episode where Ken challenges you to take part in an experiment.
    "The Stolen Body" was first published in 1898.

    Anatomy of a F- Boi

    Anatomy of a F- Boi

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    Cue music.
    And... SING!
    I wanna know what love is!I want you to show me!I wanna feel what love is!I know you can show me!
    And... CUT!
    Oh, hello, you're here for the podcast? Right, come on in. You're in the right place.
    What are we doing?
    Oh, yes!
    This week, Heather found a story for Ken by an author that neither of them knew before and they really should be ashamed of themselves for it. The author is Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and I gotta say, she impressed me. But if I say anymore it'll be spoilers for the Fun Facts, and know one wants that.
    The story is "The Two Offers," and, well, strap in kiddos.
    Ken reads, it's fine. His voice is weird. Whatever.
    Your hosts coin the term "podstalker," discuss a variety of mammalian STDs, and whine about how hard it is to be pretty and popular.
    "The Two Offers" was first published in 1859 in The Anglo-African Newspaper.

    Hellfire Classics: A Rebranding

    Hellfire Classics: A Rebranding

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    Remind me, was this one a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse, or an apocalypse. I always get those confused.
    It probably doesn't matter. Though that earthquake was suspicious...
    A podcast!!!
    This week, Ken has picked out a story for Heather. Who wants to try to guess how many words she pronounces wrong this week? Here's a hint: you're wrong.
    The story is called "Jerry Bundler," and am I the only one who kept hear "Jerry Bung Hole"?
    Anyway, written by W.W. Jacobs of "The Monkey Paw" fame (check out episode 44 of Campfire Classics for more on him), it's a pretty good story and fortunately there are no French characters, so our readers accent work is pretty good!
    Episode highlights (or lowshadows depending on how good your taste is) include Ken telling a long story from his days as a waiter, your hosts discovering a new frightening aphrodisiac, and Heather being reminded of Ginger Dick.
    "Jerry Bundler" was first published in The Windsor Magazine in December 1897.

    Yappy Dog City

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    How was your week?
    Mmmhmm..., that's interesting.
    Yes, mine was fine, but now we're back to work!
    This week, Heather has selected a story for Ken to read by Ambrose Bierce, who has made two previous appearances on the podcast both to rave reviews from people who give reviews to such things. Probaby.
    The story is called "The Middle Toe of the Right Foot," which does seem a strange and niche title, I agree.
    The story is quite engaging and Ken reads it with his usual array of consonants and vowels.
    During the episode, Ken makes an unacknowledged Highlander reference, your hosts discuss an unexpected erogenous zone, and we answer the age old question “are introverts just secret Warlocks?”
    "The Middle Toe of the Right Foot" was first published in The San Francisco Examiner on April 17, 1890.

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    Aaahhhh...
    All is right with the world again. Ken and Heather are back to doing what they do best. Butchering great works of literature for your passing amusement.
    This week Ken has a story for Heather called "The Compleat Criminal." Yes, it's really spelled that way. Yes, I think it's dumb, too.
    But it was written by Edgar Wallace, who apparently wasn't a total moron, which is really saying something for a white man at the turn of the century, so...yay!
    In addition to some surprised babbling up front we are treated to the usual brand of linguistic nonsense.What is the right side of 40?Who has Hollywood’s best eyebrows?How many ways can Heather mispronounce the phrase “county constabulary”?
    "The Compleat Criminal" was published in 1928 in Wallace's collection entitled The Thief in the Nightand Other Stories.
