Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!

This week, it almost seems Ken and Emily have a prophetic connection to the story, which would be way cooler if it weren't a story called "And All the Girls Were Nude". As you might imagine it's not our most PG story.

Written by Richard Magruder (that's MagruDer with a D, not a B), it is a story which, while not particularly subtle, is wildly entertaining.

As the story progresses your hosts discuss the educational value of this very podcast, the euphemistic possibilities of the Grand Canyon, and how neither of them have ever seen any pornography.

"And All the Girls Were Nude" was first published in December 1954 in the magazine Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy. Extensive research has not uncovered any evidence of a current copyright on the story.

Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics.

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

And find Emily online using her social media handle @embosc

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

We really need to start more episodes with dance parties. That would be fun.

This week we've got a 20 second disco early on, and it just keeps getting weirder.

We're celebrating Edgar Allan Poe's birthday this week. Fun facts are all about the Poe Toaster, and Emily reads the story "The Angel of the Odd". And oh boy, is it odd.

Conversation along the way includes the worst day ever, bouncing for fun and exercise, and repeated ejaculations!

"The Angel of the Odd" was first published in 1844 in The Columbian Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine.

Ken gets to read again, finally, as Emily has chosen story for him to read. This week we return to long time favorite author H.G. Wells with a story called "Mr. Brishner's Treasure."

But first, your hosts take a few minutes to discuss their true passion: Puzzles! No, not like cool puzzle boxes. Not escape rooms. Those pictures that someone cut into tiny pieces so that we have to put them back together just to see what they look like.

Except that we don't need to do that, because there's a picture of the puzzle already put together on the box cover. And that picture doesn't have little cuts and divots all over, so it's actually a BETTER PICTURE than the puzzle!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that puzzles are pointless and you people are monsters.

Now, what were we talking about? Oh, right, Ken reads a story, and he and Emily get side tracked by by the usual assortment of misunderstood words, forced innuendos, and TALKING ABOUT PUZZLES.

"Mr. Brishner's Treasure" was first published in April 1899 in the Strand Magazine.
