Count The Entendres
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
This week is more literary than usual.
More in the sense of Ken reads a longer than usual story.
He's flying solo again this week (lord help us) so he's decided, in his infinite "wisdom", to read us an extra long story.
In fairness, it's a pretty good one.
Coming to you directly...no, that's actually not true. Coming to you INdirectly from Dame Agatha Christie!
The Kidnapped Prime Minister!
"The Kidnapped Prime Minister" was published in Poirot Investigates in 1924.

Devil Pee
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
The Christmas Creep begins next week, but for now we celebrate the birth of pie and mashed potatoes, or something like that.
Whatever.
Ken is going it alone this week, and he's got a holiday story ready for you from the always (sometimes) hilarious O. Henry!
The story is "Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen" and Ken reads it...well, yeah, he reads it.
You'll also learn another reason to think Thomas Jefferson was a dick, the story of the real first American Thanksgiving, and, hey, did you catch the episode title? DEVIL PEE!
"Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen" was published in the short story collection The Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories of the Four Million, in 1907.

Hacken-Sack
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Whoa! What happened! I had two whole weeks of feeling like life made sense, and now...
Oh, the show's back, that's what...
Ah well. This week your hosts cover a new author with...cute hairy buns...? That can't be right.
No! His name is Henry Cuyler Bunner. Heather has selected his story "The Nice People" for Ken to read. And I tell you what, he really does read some words.
During the story, Ken and Heather chat about antiquated bit jokes, ruminate on pigeon genocide, and balk at the serious shade thrown at Mothers-in-Law by Hank Bunner.
"The Nice People" is from Bunner's Short Sixes and also appeared in his periodical Puck in the July 30, 1890 issue.

Customer Reviews
Really fun way to get some culture
They make great choices of what stories to read and they manage to make it really funny and entertaining despite reading a whole short story.
Bravo!!
This podcast is absolutely fantastic!! The sound of a campfire as the hosts read classics is perfect. Huddled under a blanket or on your way to the office, there is no bad place to listen to the hosts put their spin on things. Listen, and listen again, you won’t be disappointed!!
🚨🚨 Fantastic!
Publishing companies should hire these two to ready audiobooks, their voices are fantastic! Fantastic chemistry, stories and production!
Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Your friends from the Tuesday Tailgate Podcast
