Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!

We've got heather back for 1 hour during a rehearsal break! Can we do it? Could anybody do it? Is it madness to even try? Record an episode of Campfire Classics in such a short time!? Can Ken and Heather stay on track!?

Let's find out...

Well, it's Halloween, or close enough, and since last week's story was less scary than anticipated, we've decided to go with the never miss spookiness of H.P. Lovecraft. This week's story is called "The Unnamable", which seems inherently false advertising. If you name something "The Unnamable" it is no longer unnamable. Lies! Lies on the level of "The Neverending Story"!

That bit of perturbation dealt with, the story is really quite engaging, despite a few tangents during which your hosts discuss:
Dicks and why they are always swinging.
The origins of Harry Potter's name.
And, of course, arboreal vampirism. Look at the episode title.

Ken's Fun Facts are all about the history of Halloween, so if you want to learn a bit about our author, check out episode number 11, titled "Don't Go in the Moist Hole" where Heather tries to read the story "The Tomb".

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.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!

With Heather deep in rehearsals for Footloose she was sadly unavailable this week. Fortunately, guest host Emily has graciously agreed to return to the campfire!

Ken has selected a story by Edgar Allan Poe, because it's October and Poe is good for spooky season. The story, maintaining the satanic theme of last week, is called "The Devil in the Belfry". It is, however, much less traumatizing than the last Poe story we read. If you would like to listen back to that episode (and really upset yourself) you can check it out at Edgar Allan Poe-nus Episode.

This is a surprisingly light story for a Poe crafted tale, so Ken and Emily are free to pontificate the usual absurdities.
Ken plans his Halloween costume.
Emily discovers she has a disappointingly good Dutch accent.
And both ponder the value of a pet Cabbage.

This week's episode sponsored by Kim Wilpon Crafts. Go check her out, say thank you, and tell her you want Ken to be a guest crafter on her YouTube Channel!

Also, here is that Pas de Zephyr video.

Heather is getting on a ship! Like, tomorrow. Or possibly yesterday! I don't know what day it is, but the point is she was unable to join us this week. I have it on good authority this is going to stop happening soon.

But for this week, Ken is joined by Kim Wilpon, who tries her hand at reading a story by our muse, Dame Agatha Christie. It's her first foray in into co-hosting with us, but you may recognize her voice from her brief appearance a couple of weeks back when she told all about her series "Kim Wilpon Crafts". Or maybe you skipped that part because it was advertising.

Anyway, after taking a short break to watch this video, they get to the story. This week it is "The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman". As Kim tries to read the story, she is briefly distracted by Ken's insistence that Arsenio was a contemporary of Poirot, a discussion of beef tornados, and questioning just what is in June's mouth!

You can follow Kim on YouTube or the social media by searching for Kim Wilpon Crafts!
