Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Bahahahaha!
No, sorry, that laughter was not for how funny the episode was. I'm laughing at Ken for how sad and lonely he sounds. Teehee.  What a sucker...
Anyway, this week, Ken reads a story by a mysterious author, asks us no questions, demands no talking points and basically just gives us an excellent audiobook read of a very odd story. It's like he took it seriously or something! Come on Ken, that's not why we listen, and you know it
The story "The Minor Canon" was published in 1909 in The Lock and Key Library: Classic Mystery and Detective Stories.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
We're back!
Sorry, that sounded kind of like a threat, didn't it?  No, just, like, "Hello! We're here! It's story time!"
Ken has selected a story by an author new to the show. Born Alice Mary Norton, she legally changed her name to her primary pseudonym, Andre Norton. The Story is called "All Cats Are Gray," and it is a delightful little adventure without heavy topics or political themes.  Which mean Ken and Heather feel free to just riff and joke around without fear of offending anyone.  So, you know...things get weird.
Heather reads well, but is interrupted by questions like:Is this our swiciest episode ever? No, that's not a typo.Does "it" feel like warm Cup of Noodles? Yes, that "it".What is that smell? The answer isn't not "corrupt taint."
"All Cats Are Gray" was published in Fantastic Universe Science Fiction, August–September 1953. Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.

I'm going to get straight to the point, something your hosts seem completely incapable of doing this week.
This story is actually fairly divisive. Like, Ken and Heather don't agree what the message was. So, listen to the end and let us know who you agree with!
That out of the way, the story is by an author who may or may not be a hammerhead shark named Lucas Malet. Spoilers, it's a fake name.
The story is called "The Birth of a Masterpiece," and it is psychologically complex (the only time anyone will say that about this show).
While Ken reads with admirable effort, your hosts discuss getting tanked on wine coolers, mid '90s garage drugs, and literary pornography.
"The Birth of a Masterpiece" was first published in 1922 in The Story-Teller.

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.

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.

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.
