A few months ago wearing a mask and hiding in a lair seemed like the least heroic parts of heroism. Turns out, aside from covering the exact opposite parts of his face, the dark knight had the right idea all along. This short features a new new generation of heroes for the world we live in today.
Written, voices and produced by Ben McCauley.
Sometimes we all just need some beautiful music to calm the world and let us focus. Thankfully Eugene Boozler is here to do exactly that. The Boozlers seem to still be trapped in the basement of the Station Inn in Nashville but they’re managing to keep it together. I don’t have a joke for that but it is impressive just how well they’re holding up.
Original song written and performed by Sam Locke as Eugene Boozler.
Kat Evans as Beulah Boozler.
Production by Sam Locke.
Looking into the future would be pretty handy right now, huh? One can hardly be blamed for reaching toward whatever comfort or sense of order is available. Maybe a conspiracy theory about the amount of air in a bag of potato chips. That seems like a nice distraction, right? Hey, if it’s night time, you could try looking at the stars.

We’ve all had moments when the pure humanity of our situation transcends the personal and becomes universal. Waling into a plate glass door, falling down/up a long escalator and calling out to the wrong person in a crowd to name just a few. Now that universal situation is brought to your ears in a heightened, artistic form.
Written by Ellen DeSitter.
Featuring the voices of Ellen DeSitter, Rachel Granda Gluski, Karolyn Blake and Jared McDaris.

This may be the renaissance of boredom. As we all find our way through a world where our best company is limited to the number of people who live with you and the moving images of people who are farther away. You can only watch so much Netflix (quite a lot it turns out) before you need something else and people have proven quite creative. However, we have nothing compared to the true pioneers of passing time. Bored is here to put it all in perspective.
Written and performed by Karolyn Blake,

Being good at things is relative. There are some who would tell you that a chef who cooks poorly should not be a chef. Perhaps they lead the kitchen really well and their team creates the best food you’ve ever eaten. Perhaps we once thought that a lifeguard should be able to swim. Not if they’re a TV lifeguard. Maybe we thought Zachary Taylor was the worst president… Anyway, Llewellen Maltise May not be the most silent mime that ever there was. He’s certainly the most radio friendly.

Welcome to Cerddoriaeth Celtica, a companion piece for the Starlight Radio Dreams series “Celtica”. When we conceived of Celtica the desire was to create an adventure serial which used music as part of the action and story. From using music to power Celtica’s magic tools to musical numbers for the big moments, Celtica does exactly that.
In this episode of Cerddoriaeth Celtica, Karolyn Blake, co writer for Celtica and the actor behind the title character, sings Marwnad yr Ehedydd, a song that deals with loss, grief, and anger.

Even the third time you open the fridge, that mustard and butternut squash are unlikely to have assembled themselves into something delicious, crunchy and immediately ready to jam into your face. Maybe you can take some inspiration from Person who has found the perfect way to make the most of whatever is revealed when the door opens and the light comes on.

A little extra novelty can help to make anything better. Remember when we were all excited about adding some flavored drops to water? Beverages can be… really exciting. Trix Fox though, she manages to take enjoying a beverage to a whole new level.

Ms. Intern still holds that in buying a survivalist bunker, she was just beating the rush. Time will tell but we are certainly all thankful to have someone on the team with experience in spending long periods of time isolated and how to keep it fun. Maybe she can help you too.

We’ve all been there. you’ve been in a relationship for a long time and you need to find new ways to keep things romantic. This couple may have misread the usual usage but seem to be having a good time. So, who are we to judge? You do what you’ve got to do these days.

Welcome to Cerddoriaeth Celtica, a companion piece for the Starlight Radio Dreams series “Celtica”. When we conceived of Celtica the desire was to create an adventure serial which used music as part of the action and story. We hope that this series will continue that mission by extending the story of the Celtic music that helps inspire the show.
In this fourth episode of Cerddoriaeth Celtica, Karolyn Blake, co writer for Celtica and the actor behind the title character, sings Cainc Yr Aradwr, a song about the pangs of longing for something you can’t quite put into words.

In the beginning of the shutdown the Starlight Radio Dreams team scrambled and made an amazing pile of content. They also had fun by not telling tour host, Burlington Showtime how they were going to do it. Enjoy the madness as Burlighton Showtime tries to keep it together. and his team beams in some awesome comedy shorts for your amusement.
Starlight Radio Dreams is made by a whole load of awesome people. This show specifically included. Anna Gaetke, Ansel Burch, Arne Parrot, Ben McCauley, Derrick Gaetke, Ellen DeSitter, Karolyn Blake, Kat Evans, Jared McDaris, Michael Jachowicz, Rachel Granda-Gluski, Sam Locke and special guest Jake Dewar.
Being an adult mans that you can do whatever you want right? Like you could eat pudding any time. If you don’t want to change your sheets, no one else is going to make you. Sadly, it also means you have to be the one making yourself change your sheets and deciding when you’ve probably had enough sweets for the month after last time you bought pudding. Sleep is the same way. You gotta sleep and while grown ups can go to bed whenever they want, chances are pretty good if you’ve got stuff to do in the morning; that next achievement in Animal Crossing should wait. Well, one more, then for sure you’ll go to bed. This song from the amazing Jake Dewar as Mr. Studebaker should help to bring us all to peace with what we ought to be doing even if tomorrow’s commute is just from the bed to the table within 30 feet of bed where you have your computer set up.
Performed and produced by Jake Dewar.
Sometimes, you start with a gag that you’re sure of an it somehow exposes a deeper truth that you didn’t see coming around the corner. Here is Danny’s accidental confessional.

Getting lost in a mansion is no small thing and even a detective (who you may remember from our season four podsquad party) can get turned around in the maze of home theaters, professional kitchens and Olympic swimming pools.

Welcome to Cerddoriaeth Celtica, a companion piece for the Starlight Radio Dreams series “Celtica”. When we conceived of Celtica the desire was to create an adventure serial which used music as part of the action and story. From using music to power Celtica’s magic tools to musical numbers for the big moments, Celtica does exactly that.
In this first episode of Cerddoriaeth Celtica, Karolyn Blake, co writer for Celtica and the actor behind the title character, sings and plays GwCw Fach. This is the song that we used in the third episode of the second season when Celtica’s druid advisor Gwynedd recharged Celtica’s magic helmet at Stonehenge.

Here to put the ass in classy we have a special dispatch from our favorite Shakespearean scholar, professor Edmund Xunderfell. He’s here to present his thoughts on some… extra-canonical coverage that circles around what is widely held as the finest work of English literature.
Written, performed and produced by Jared McDaris.
Missy O’Danagher is always there to help both our customers and our crew so when Burlington needs a hand getting things going, he knows who to call. Perhaps this helpful song will make a difference for your Zoom calls and inevitable internet outages.
