The Incomparable Superfeed

Live on stage at the Ohio Theatre in Madison, Indiana, it’s the Incomparable Radio Theater Live, with part four of the Adventures of Slim Skinner and the Cowhands of the Range! The thrilling conclusion! We’ve got a runaway train, a heroic dog, and even a few more masked avengers of the old west. We hear from a few more sponsors both real and imaginary. And then…and then, tragedy strikes right on cue, and we learn what happens when time…just…stops… David J. Loehr.

From the space-time weirdness of Kasq to the stage of “Our Town,” it’s a “Starfleet Academy” episode where theater helps process trauma and a certain hologram learns to love again. Oh, and Tilly shows up, reminding us why she’s a top-tier Star Trek character. Come join us in our little one-act play, or as we call it, a podcast. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Our Book Club reconvenes to discuss Emily Tesh’s “The Incandescent,” which offers a teacher’s perspective on a magical school (that’s mostly not magical, but infested by demons), an interesting story structure, and some very well-drawn characters. Plus: What else are we reading? Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign, Joe Rosensteel, Heather Berberet, Paul Weimer and Scott McNulty.

First-time co-host Daniel Heddendorf joins in to discuss clocks and jellybeans in Harlan Ellison’s short story, “‘Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” (1965). John McCoy with Daniel Heddendorf.

A veteran broadcaster and musical storykeeper, Grant shares the ins-and-outs of a (sort of) secret talent…and a former life. Sandra Wong with Grant Stovel.
