Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!

Happy American Thanksgiving, if you celebrate that holiday. If you don't, Happy Alien Sex Party Day. If you are unfamiliar with this holiday, that's because I am making it up right now as I write this episode blurb.

Heather is out of quarantine and performing, but she was able to squeeze us in to her busy schedule long enough to select a story for Ken to read. This week's story is the misleadingly titled "The Vegans Were Curious" by possible extra terrestrial Winston K. Marks.

The story is an interstellar romp through human/alien relations, but even that isn't enough to keep our hosts focused for long, as discussion topics cover...well, actually a lot of it is almost on topic. Vegan Thanksgiving recipes, vegan celebrities, and is "going down" vegan?

Our sincere apologies to any vegans we might offend. It was unintentional, and as you'll see, completely unnecessary.

"The Vegans Were Curious" was first published in Imagination in 1954. Extensive research has discovered no evidence that the story is still in copyright. If we are wrong, please let us know so that we can docilely accept our punishments.

Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics.

Now sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.

We're on a roll now! Two in a row with your favorite hosts. Heather is once again recording from quarantine on board a cruise ship, but, by the time you're reading this she's FREE!

Not that she's been counting the days. Or hours. Or seconds.

This week, Ken has selected a story for Heather to read. Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this non-Sherlock Holmes related story is called "Playing with Fire". Despite this title, you will be relieved (or disappointed) to know that neither of your hosts sets anything on fire during this episode.

It is a wild story which features a Campfire Classics first! but you'll have to listen to find out what that is. Along the way, Ken and Heather discuss how to infiltrate a secret military base, the history of bodybuilding, and...whoa there, buddy, is that a unicorn in your pocket or...well, you know the rest.

Here at Campfire Classics, the coming of the holiday season means only one thing. A shift in the tone of our stories. It’s time to leave the mysteries and frivolities of the rest of the year behind and turn our minds back to that genre truly synonymous with Christmas...GHOST STORIES!

Emily is back behind the mic, coming at us from Connecticut. Ken has chosen a story for her from long time Campfire Classics favorite M.R. James. The story is called "The Diary of Mr. Poynter", and though it is a slow burn to the spookiness, it definitely gets to that creeping horror we've come to expect from his writing.

In the tradition of great episodes before, this one devolves into bouts of giddy laughter as Ken and Emily discuss Thanksgiving cuteness, perpetually wet spots, and a sexual goat auntie.

"The Diary of Mr. Poynter" was first published in Ghost Stories of an Antiquary in 1904.

Also, the 2022 calendar featuring co-host Ken in Halloween animal ears is now available on our website!
