A comedy and storytelling podcast for writers, by writers.

Get ready for a roller-coaster episode as we welcome N.J. (Nick) Alexander, the brilliant mind behind the epic fantasy, FOGBOUND, and The Intern of the Goddamn Gamecube Podcast. We're delving deep into Dina's Tiktok Conspiracy Corner, discussing claims that nuclear test footage is fabricated – is it reality or just another conspiracy theory?

Prepare to chuckle (or not!) as we challenge our funny bones in 'You Laugh You Die: Pickup Lines edition'. Can Nick and the team keep a straight face or will they succumb to seduction? Nick then takes us on a chilling journey, recounting a family vacation to Canada that becomes a web of horror - quite literally!

From spine-tinglers to spuds, join us in uncovering the layered secrets of the humble potato. Watch out! Nick's got a drink in hand, and the Buffalo rules mean he might just have to down it before the end of the show.

Literary lovers are in for a treat as Nick offers an exclusive reading from FOGBOUND, revealing a slice of his enchanting universe. And if you think that's where the surprises end, hold onto your seats! Our Cringey Copulation segment presents Nick, bravely (or regrettably?) reading from Leonard Delaney's cheeky 'Conquered by Clippy: An Erotic Short Story (Digital Desires Book 2)'. Tune in for revelations, uproarious moments, and a dose of the unexpected!
