The Sylph Speaks!

Listener Jackson took the rare step to pre-um, actually us, and as promised in the last episode, here is his analysis of the German Linguist's interrogation of the Slender Sylph:

I, Jackson Crawford, M.A., Ph.D., FPh.D., have tumbled to the fact that some readers will be unaware of what's g...

Episode 138 - Edison's Conquest Ep 3 - Zest and Interest!

Martians, space battles, disintegrators, heat rays, murdered crows -- the only thing missing from this story? Colonel Alonzo Jefferson Smith! Sylphan harp players! Compressed food, stolen and eaten with great care!

The Little Things

Mike here: Conor and I will post a full episode very soon. Just a very quick story relating to the podcast: I adore the movie The Man in the Hat and was excited to show it to someone close to me. This person did not like the movie. Sighed and headshaked through the whole thing.<...

Cozy Groundhog Pitch

The title says it all: spurred on by a listener, both Conor and Mike give their best pitch for a cozy Groundhog Day mystery.

Episode 136 - Edison's Conquest Ep 1 - Serviss is Selling

Our first reading of Garrett P. Serviss' Edison's Conquest of Mars is a real cracker jack, a tip-top lally-cooler! 

Truly, an enjoyable book if for nothing more than the action movie quipping of Professor Sylvanus P. Thompson.

All the departments are here, as well as a d...

Episode #135 - Book #23 announcement!

Shake off your weighted blanket and put down that spoon you're licking yogurt off the back of. It's no longer cozy season, dammit! It's time for Book 23 and we've got a listener recommendation that promises to be absolutely as uncozy as Christmas River was cozy. In fact, we're not even certain Co...

Cozy Mini - "Christmas in the Bayou" by Riley Blake

Mike took one for the team and read, ahem, CHRISTMAS IN THE BAYOU (MISS FORTUNE WORLD: LOUSIANA COZY CHRISTMAS). He attempts to explain it to Conor. Fails.

But you'll hear in real time the sleuthing they do to...

Episode 134 - Murder in Christmas River Ep. 3: Dehydrated Mummies

Our final reading of this cozy mystery answers the deep, impenetrable puzzle at the heart of the book: How many people will show up to a cheesy tourist village the night after a massive three-foot snowstorm to view the judging of a gingerbread house competition? Turns out, a lot. Like, s...

Episode 133 - Murder in Christmas River Ep. 2: Old Man Things to Talk About

After 16 chapters we finally get a mystery! Who killed the fancy-dressing Gingerbread House judge who flew into town from Arizona? Sure, it's a cliché as old as "The butler did it", but we're about to find out how they do things in Christmas River!

And the answer is apparently booze, and l...

Cozy Mini - "Christmas Presents" by Riley Blake

Here it is!

Well, the new book arrived. And now I guess according to Mike I'm supposed to lick this yogurt off the back of a spoon while I read it? Oh well, I guess those are the rules...

Episode #131 - Book No. 22(!) Announcement

Super Constitution behind them, Mike and Conor look toward a future of cabins that have beds with way too many pillows on them, you know, where you go to sleep and have to spend five minutes figuring out where to pile the pillows so you don't step on them and slip in the dark of night; l...

Quick Classical Mini - RIGS!

Includes the thrilling tale of Mike becoming a piano tuner. In other words, it's a can't-miss ep!

Exciting Addendum: I forgot this point: people with hearing loss tend to choose flawed playback systems that compensate for their missing frequencies, so don't take anyone's recommendations unt...

#130 - Super Constitution Ep 5 - Welcome Back, Troika!

To quote the perpetually stoned kid who sawed his finger off in my high school Shop Class and had it surgically re-attached, writing in my year book, "What a long, strange trip it's been!" Emphasis on the long. (Note to author: EDIT!!)

We wrap up our reading of the manifesto and as...

Am I being Truman Showed?

I'm not a big believer in "signs" or "numerology" because I'm not a lunatic, but this was the closest I may get. I did a Triathlon on Saturday (first one ever, didn't die, would recommend), and the airbnb we stayed in had these four poor man's Thomas Kinkade prints on the wall. I don't know what ...
