Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Go become a burglar. I think that's the moral of this week's episode.
Or possibly it's that '90s pop culture references are weird.
I really don't know. Maybe this episode, like life, has no moral, and we are all merely wandering through a meaningless nihilistic wasteland that we call "reality" because we don't know what else to do.
Agh! This is what happens when I'm forced to listen to Ken try to be clever and philosophical while Heather butchers French words. I get maudlin...
Anyway.
This week, Ken has selected another Arsène Lupin story for Heather to read. This story is called "The Black Pearl". Since Ken decided he didn't want to do fun facts this week, for info on the author you can check out season 2, episode 6 "The Drag Queen Chaperone".
During the episode, our hosts tackle hard hitting social issues like the importance of Mark-Paul Gosselar, pineapple pizza, and which way to load toilet paper. Oooo...edgy stuff.
"The Black Pearl” was first published in Je Sais Tout, No. 18, 15 July 1906, as "The Extraordinary Life of Arsene Lupin: The Black Pearl"

Demon BJ
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
This week is just unsettling, beginning to end. Even the light hearted banter is a little weird. But that is fitting, because our author this week is Weird Horror master H.P. Lovecraft.
Because we've covered Lovecraft before, so you can hear fun facts about him by listening to Season 1, Episode 11 "Don't Go in the Moist Hole" or in Season 2's "Coming for Boston".
Instead, Heather has covered a haunted acoustic guitar, and a disturbingly skeletal electric guitar from haunted eBay.
Then Ken reads this week's haunted ditty, and along the way our hosts discuss:
What does "tittynope" mean?
Who throws the best orgies?
And seriously, why would you do that?
"The Music of Erich Zann” was first published in National Amateur in March 1922.

Tales From the Tub
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Welcome to the first official installment of Tales From the Tub, where Ken and Heather can't record together, so Ken just reads you story!
A few weeks back, in the episode "Silly Old Bear" Ken read the first Winnie the Pooh story. Today, he reads you the second.
We will soon return to your normal programming, but for now Campfire Classics hopes you enjoy this quiet little short story read with no sex jokes made about getting stuck in a hole.
Winnie-the-Pooh was first published in 1926.
