  1. EPISODE 1

    A Restoration of Faith: Well, I Guess it Would Be Nice

    [HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!] Wherein Harry tries to avoid paying the Troll Toll, but might still have saved a girl's soul! He may not be the Champion of the Sun, but Harry's words of wisdom, coupled with the coolest mood ring this side of the Atlantic bring a young girl back from the brink while his quick thinking and Murphy's bravery shut down the troll blocking their path. For a first time writer its an incredible piece of art, and the seeds he plants are awesome to look back on now I've enjoyed much of the harvest feast. We talk subways, swamps, and libraries, Josh's brain is the exact opposite of a steel trap, and finally, Lyss is grossed out by something more than her brother! (DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? YESS!!!). Come wait by the dumpster for Nick with us as we prepare to walk across the bridge that introduced the world to Harry Dresden, wizard. A Restoration of Faith starts......RIGHT NOW! Hosted on Acast.

    Something Borrowed: Seared Shellycobb and Your Finest Jellybeans, Raw

    Wherein Billy is such a good dude he doesnt make faux-Georgia brush her green-ass teeth. Harry and Murphy save the day with some cool action scene spell-casting and fire-leaping awesomeness, Big Willy B gets the girl of his dreams, Harry would be the worst EMT ever, and Josh is so old even napping is hard. I've seen some of these underworld bride deals and, and they never end well. Well, maybe once. Please stand, smile at the old man walking her down the aisle, and cry with us as the organ starts to play "Here Comes the Pod".....RIGHT NOW Hosted on Acast.

    The Warrior: Long Range Sledgehammer

    Wherein Harry learns not all priests are as cool as Forthill. Someone is gunning (snipering?) for the Swords, and Harry has to enlist--and then save via murder-offer-- a retired knight to see this battle through. We get a glimpse of Michael limping around living his best life, while Harry changes the world one pep talk at a time, and a villainous priest kidnaps a girl, sends threatening messages, and pushes our knight to the edge. Short story The Warrior is on the docket so dig through that dumpster and change your pants....its starts NOW Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    EPISODE 4

    Love Hurts: The Elephant Shaped Pile of Corpses in the Room

    Wherein Harry and Murphy are sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G. A tricky case where there initially seems to be no proof that the deceased are victims leads our investigative stars into a a trip to the Illinois State Fair and a ride through the Tunnel of Terror that turns romantic for our star-crossed heroes. There's mind whammies a-plenty, Harry chews on his foot a bit, and we get an interesting peak into inter-court relations amongst the undead. It's a brief and an enjoyable, if not outstanding, side quest before we start chewing on Changes next week. So, Hey Rube, come try your luck! Love Hurts starts RI-NOW!!! Lego Joe: The madame whose corpse (and the creation thereof) kicked off the war...Margravine Bianca St. Claire! #jimbutcher #DRESDENFILES #harrydresden #podcast #LOVEHURTS Hosted on Acast.

    EPISODE 5

    Aftermath: Knives in the Wind

    Wherein Harry is NOWHEREIN! Soon to be Ms. Murphy takes center stage in lieu of our erstwhile wizard, standing in as emotionally troubled narrator and heroic monster vanquisher both. Georgia is missing and Harry's body is somewhere in Lake Michigan, sporting a brand new, high caliber bullet shaped hole, so Karrin and Billy need to put on the boots and T.C.O.B.....but the new kids on the block are quite unpleasant! Ignore the fishy smell, we're redecorating for the Master.....and to paraphrase a great poet of our time: this is the TPWoF-llenium of AFTERMATH, and ain't gonna be nothin after that, so gimme one more platinum listen then F pods you can have em back! Don't forget about Dre or us...Catch yall next week with Ghost Story 1-6! Lego Joe: This week it could only be one, the little copper who looks like an aunt--whatever that means-- and slayer of Fishminions, Murph!! Hosted on Acast.

    EPISODE 5

    Backup and Journal: Its a Party in the San Jose

    Wherein Harry defeats Thomas.....sorta. (next week Skin Game 1-5) We're movin our hips like yeah as we tackle Toe-moss and Morgan povs this weak in a fun sojourn from regular business. Thomas is wildly underappreciated by anyone not hosting a podcast, and the King Douche of Wardendom is somehow more human and less likeable! Dont resign the pod to Oblivion, come on in! Your very hungover Backup and Journal starts right now!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Wherein the Dresdens go to the zoo. (Next Week: Even Hand and Cold Case [Brief Cases]) (Discord: https://discord.gg/AZ8xGkTv) No one but the dog is quite sure of themselves this week. We cover a butters POV where he's growing into a Knight of the Cross, and a mixed POV where the Dresdens are growing into a family! Day One is a great look into Butters, and Zoo Day is just the absolute ADORABLEST thing ever! I may mention that once or twice. Its a short story weekend, but the pod is anything but this week. Come on in and lounge....just make sure to keep hold of your specs when things get bumpy.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Wherein Molly and Carlos are sittin' in a tree. (https://discord.gg/AZ8xGkTv) (Next week Peace Talks Ch 1-6) This week, Marcone plans a murder, and Molly executes a kidnapping! We learn a lot about Marcone's plans and inner circle, including the softer side of Hendricks. Gard is a Runed axe wielding badass, and it might be my favorite short story yet! Cold Case is super depressing, though we get a potentially anvil-sized hint about Molly's future--or, past I guess...grammar hasnt caught up to temporal anomolies yet! Its great to reunite with everyone's favorite West Coast Warder 'Los, and the two main characters save the day then get kissy time! What could possibly go wrong?! There's no running water here, so feel free to dial up any spell you like!! Even Hand and Cold Case start RIGHT NOW! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
