ExplicitFishmonger | A fishmonger trades in fish. A slaver trades in people. So, who trades in mermaids? A fishmonger or a slaver? They’re half-fish, half-people. But then, are you trading in mermaids as a commodity, or are you representing them as an agent or employment | 2/23/2019 | Free | View in iTunes |

ExplicitGo get the lemons | I never liked the idea that if Life hands you lemons, you should make lemonade. You shouldn’t wait for Life to hand you lemons. Nobody goes around handing out lemons. Instead, you’ll probably get handed some handbill for a protest, | 2/22/2019 | Free | View in iTunes |

ExplicitThrown under the bus | Okay, so your team threw you under the bus. At least they threw you under a bus. I mean, that’s public transportation, right?

ExplicitBoring at the booth | The problem with coming up with a cool schtick for a conference exhibit is that you end up having to do it a few hundred times. Over. And over. And over. Yeah, I know. It’s funny. For you. For me, it was funny the first few times, | 2/20/2019 | Free | View in iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Hi-larious....
Fun. Short. Fun. Did I mention fun? Great podcast idea and very entertaining.
Elisson's a master of storytelling
I know, it's my podcast, but I think it's fair to review another author and contributor, right? Well, Elisson's podcasts are the perfect intro of music, potted down for interesting and twisted tales, and then the final outtro back into the music. A rapid-fire delight for the ears, like some Ziegfeld comedian on the stage or in the bar pulling a fast one as the orchestra tunes up. The rest do not use musical accompaniment or sound effects, unlike the well-produced Seanachai podcast. Simplicity is the key to this podcast's survival. Andrew Ian Dodge's delivery may be stilted at times, but the tales are always creepy and leave you wondering what will come next in the serial progression. Tomer Israeli is just downright disturbing and mad. A sick and secret delight each and every time he manages to churn one out. Finally, the Weekly Challenges bring together all kinds of authors - silly, sick, sweet, sappy... and my old college pal Planet Z ends up mocking my style by showing me up with an even better version of my own way of looking at the world. If not for my own stories, listen for the others. They are what makes the podcast what it is.
Shave your head, get a wet sponge, and flip the switch
I love this podcast. It's witty, sarcastic, and the stories can be rather thoughtful. They are very well written.
