    Guest Host: Bucket Think Tank |

    Listeners, if you are looking for a podcast that can also act as a status symbol, well...that would be pretty weird. But this is a great episode, where we get to talk about the concept of status, compare this story to its Ducktales adaptation and more!

    Guests: Bill Wormstedt & Tom Wormstedt |

    Listener, can we interest you in the personal jewels of the goddess Athena? How about a episode of the podcast covering another ridiculous Magica De Spell scheme? Journey with us to the Mediterranean, as the ducks follow in the footsteps of Odysseus, only to encounter a modern-day Circe!

    Ten-Page Podcast: Ten-Cent Valentine (1962)

    Guest host: Suzanne Snow Severino |

    Happy Valentines Day! Let's spend it talking about Barks' "slinky sorceress" Magica De Spell in only the second story (and first ten-pager) she is featured in! "Ten-Cent Valentine" is a light story, but a great show case of the sorceress and an amazing time capsule of the early 1960s!

    85 - a Spicy Tale

    Guest Host: Nils Lid Hjort |

    Brew a nice cup of nutmeg tea, listeners, and join us as we discuss Carl Barks' Amazonian-set adventure, "a Spicy Tale." This story let Barks poke some gentle fun at the U.S. Peace Corps, and adds a bit of flavor to Scrooge's character, in the form of a weakness (addiction?) to Nutmeg Tea!

    83 - the Cave of Ali Baba
