CAMPUS is a social satire, a story about higher education in the South, born out of the joys and frustrations of almost thirty years of teaching, twenty-five in Western North Carolina. It is completely fiction unless you believe in gnomes, fairies, vampires, trolls, Moon-faced people, boojums (Sasquatch-type people), the Moth Man, zombies, and various other creatures found in and outside of Appalachian lore. The town of Dog Hobble, where you will find the Enchanted Campus, doesn't really exist. I don't think so anyway.

EPISODE 14--MS. MCBRIDE
Sheeeeeee's baaaaaaacccccckkkkkkk!!!!!! After a long hiatus, Katie Winkler is back with her 14th Episode of CAMPUS: A Novel That Wants to Be a Musical. In this episode, we find out a little bit about one of the fairy god teachers--Ms. McBride, a math teacher. We find out about Ms. McBride's first love, her philosophy professor, Dr. Paul Temple, who ends up not being exactly the man of Ms. McBride's dreams. Well, he had been very much the man of her dreams until, you know, he wasn't anymore because he turns out to be pretty much a rotter. Anyway, listen to the episode, and you will know what I mean.
Thanks to Anchor for the background music and to my good friends Angela Kantola and Don Wallace for their continuing support despite my long hiatus. Thank you friends!!!

Disclaimer
Hey, guess what, nothing and nobody in this podel, that’s what I’m calling this podcasted novel, is real, including the vampires. Any resemblance to real persons or places, including gnomes, Boojum folk, and the CAMPUS itself is entirely coincidental, I pinky promise. As far as the music goes, I didn't change it at all--just added the lyrics.

Episode 10--Just Me and Ms. Subowski
WARNING! More sensitive listeners, and those with a limited sense of humor, may want to go back and listen to all the episodes so they have a firm understanding that this is a satiric work and makes full use of hyperbole and sarcasm. You might also want to watch The Producers, the one with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder, on your favorite streaming service.
In this episode, Dr. DAG has a "meeting" with Ms. Subowski and discusses, among other things, the online quiz about learning styles that has determined he is a tactile learner (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Episode 9--Mr. M.
In this episode, we meet the villain of the piece. Oh, you thought it was Dr. DAG? What a lightweight! He's nothing compared to Mr. M., who isn't too pleased that the fairy godteachers have chosen Jack and Jill as their proteges and sprinkled them with fairy dust. He has his own plan for them, and it doesn't include enlightenment or inspiration.
