This week we're having a psychotic break! Please try not to laugh as Ken changes his pronunciation of the title character's name every time he says it.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
We've got a new lady writing for us this week. I mean, she didn't write just for us, and she's been dead for a hundred and fifteen years...but you get the point.
Mary de Morgan, who had interesting relationships with both Rudyard Kipling and George Bernard Shaw (you'll have to listen for more details) wrote this week's story, and Heather gives it a great read!
While she reads, your hosts engage in a rapid fire exchange of witticisms.
"Rapid fire" seems generous. It's definitely witty at a comfortable marathon pace. But they do talk about some weird nonsense.
Raise your hand if you're surprised.
No one?
Okay.
Topics of conversation include the questionable origins of Scrabble, a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, and George Bernard Shaw's stupid chin.
"The Three Clever Kings" was published in 1880.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
This episode might be as far from last week's as it is possible to be. The story is not WTF-ish at all!
Well, that's not quite true.
Actually it is very WTF-ish, just in a completely different way! Like, it's not confusing.
No, that's wrong too. It is confusing, but like it's supposed to be.
Never mind, I'm starting over.
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
This week Heather has chosen a story for Ken to read by Bengali writer, poet, painter, composer, philosopher, and...baseball player...probably...not...
The point is he was super multi-talented. His name was Rabindranath Tagore. No cheating, how did you just pronounce that in your head?
During the episode your hosts discuss owl-parrots, 1970s porn, and the rationale of vindictive ghosts.
"In the Middle of the Night" was published in 1894.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Warning:
This episode was very nearly titled "WTF".
Yeah, it's that kind of episode.
But here's the wild bit. It's because of the story!!!
Ken has selected a bizarre f-ing story called "Dragon-Child and Sun-Child" by a guy called A.G. Seklemian and it is just an absolutely unhinged little tale about......yeah, actually I don't know what it's about. I just finished listening and I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a demented fever dream.
To give you context, your hosts discuss a nation of genius genies, how babies get here, and the life saving properties of the McFlurry, and yet this story is still the weirdest part of the episode.
"Dragon-Child and Sun-Child" was published in 1898.

Get out of the kitchen, you weirdo!
Why are you in my kitchen?
Heather has picked a story for Ken to read this week by new to Campfire Classics author Dinah Maria Mulock Craik. It's a ghost story, so strap in kiddos!
As they read, your hosts discuss ejaculatory evidence, Shakespeare, and first loves.

Well...
This one gets weird.
Ken picks a story by a guy named Fritz. Heather reads is. Accents abound, and it's all your very usual quirky nonsense.
But, your talking points include TikTok Cannibals, a drive by pantsing, and the invention of the Scotch beer float.
Ugh...Just...Ugh...

The breaks are over! The team is back! And...well, you read the title and your here anyway...
Heather picked a witchy little Nathaniel Hawthorne ditty (can you use that word as a story?) for Ken to read. Which he does. Eventually. First your hosts chat about life, the universe, and...you know...stuff.
The story is actually quite good. Well, the stories usually are. Along the way Heather and Ken discuss demon Pontiacs, mystical drug dealers, and and the relative merits of owning multiple staffs. If you know what I mean.

Oooo...Ken is sneaky this week. He does a thing with the fun facts you might not be expecting.
Then Heather reads the Story, and you know it's gonna be good, because the week we've got "Hop-Frog" by Edgar Allan Poe.
Talking points include a busy week, a ball mask, and a gimp chimp.
"Hop-Frog" was first published on March 17th, 1849.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Always smell things that smell.
I think that's the moral of this episode.
Please email me to tell me if I'm wrong at thisisntarealemailaddress@idontcare.com.
This week Heather has a story for Ken to read, and somehow they just seem to magically agree that it was written by a fictional character on a terrible '90s sitcom instead of by Mr. George Pope Morris. Which seems rude and dismissive, but clearly I care more about this show than either of the hosts do.
Anyway...
Ken reads the story and Heather cannot contain herself from laughing at silly words, so, you know, the show.
And a bunch of other stuff.New Doctor Who casting.The perfect murder.Do WHAT to a light switch!?
"The Little Frenchman and His Water Lots" was written by George Pope Morris and published in 1839.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
This week, we are down with the Flipper Dipper Dip.Apparently...Whatever that means...
Okay, that's the niceties out of the way.
Today, Ken has chosen a story for Heather by pulp author Randall Garrett. It is called "The Time Snatcher". And for some reason Heather has chosen this week to see how many accents she can fit into one hour.
Good luck everyone.
Your talking points include blackmailing Robert Zemeckis, pickup lines that work...kinda, and a tightly guarded erection.
"The Time Snatcher" was published in Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in February 1957, extensive research has uncovered no evidence of an active copyright.

Now that you've been warned, I return you to our regularly scheduled blurb.
Oh, Henry...
Wait, no! O. Henry! He's back!
This week's story is called "Let Me Feel Your Pulse" and it's written by O. Henry.
Ken reads, and along the way your hosts discuss bird orifices, medical (mal)practice, and the relative sanity of treating insanity.

We're back at the grindstone. Cranking out those high quality low brow jokes you expect and...love? Tolerate? Fast forward through?
Whatever.
We're back to our two host witless banter format after a few weeks off.
This week heather is reading a story by a woman named Anna Katharine Green. It's called "Midnight in Beauchamp Row". Does that word look French to you?
The story comes with some unexpected twists and some expected pointless conversation topics.
How long is your rod?How heavy are your stones?WHAT DID THAT IDIOT THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!?
"Midnight in Beauchamp Row" was published in 1895.

So, you read the title. You read the words "Mucus of the Soul". And you decided to come here and read this little blurb about the episode anyway.
Or did you?
I honestly have no idea.
Okay, game time. I will grant a special surprise and guarantee a shout out on next week's episode to everyone who reads this, emails 5050artsproduction@gmail.com, and tells me you read this. A bonus surprise if you also use the secret passcode from the end of this week's episode.
How's that for idiotic self promotion?
Oh right! The show. It's a creepy little story by Ambrose Bierce called "The Damned Thing." Heather reads well, Ken makes pointless jokes...you know the drill.
What would you do with two barrels? **winky face**How would you suppress soul mucus?Are clowns people?

Then the good news! Weird talking points:Milli Vanilli (your hosts really talk about them more than is healthy).Political protests...sorta...The relative legality of necrophilia.
Did you notice how much good news you got in this one?

This week Ken has a story from an author we've not read on the show yet named Ellis Parker Butler. That sounds like a fake name. Almost as fake as Philo Gubb sounds. But, I don't research things once the show is recorded so...what are you gonna do?
What is the politically correct term for "crook"?Does it get quicker if you pay more?Where the crap is that accent from?

You tell us! After you've listened, of course
Heather has chosen a story for Ken to read this week by Japanese author Haruki Murakami called "The Second Bakery Attack". It is a confusing ride, and not only because it is technically a sequel to a story your hosts haven't read yet.
But, it's a great story, plus you'll be treated to the regular Campfire Classics oddities:Fast and Furious movie ideas.Protein beer recipes.Heather doing a Matthew McConaughey impersonation.
Yes really.
I'm goin to repeat that in case you missed it.

"The Second Bakery Attack" was published in 1985, however research has discovered that it appears to be available through Creative Commons. If you or someone you know has the rights to this story and would prefer we not use, please email us.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
This episode is just a D.A.R.E. ad.
Or possibly a McDonald's ad.
Either way, your hosts have sold out and are clearly suckling on the corporate teat.
Listen, you'll get it. Ken chose this week's story, which panders to some pretty base ideologies. It was written by T.S. Arthur, and Heather reads it well, but only after we've been subjected to even some barely concealed marketing.
The themes this week are...confusing.Don't have fun.Sobriety is a cult.Here's a foolproof way to get past the drug sniffing dogs.
Weird, right?
Oh, and here's the video Ken promised you:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t13mpMO1GGk
"The Last Penny" was published in 1852.

It's a mad mad mad mad...well I don't know if I'm legally allowed to finish that sentence or if that would be plagiarism. But the world is a mess and so is this week's story.
We've got a new author named Holmes, who is probably no relation to the famous detective since our author is an American and Sherlock is British and imaginary.
Heather chose this week's story for the title, clearly. And you would have, too. It is called "A Visit to the Asylum for Aged and Decayed Punsters". So...obviously...
There are some important questions asked this week:What is a "Mom Joke"?How do you make a "Disco Tent"?Where have all the Dick Jokes gone?
You've got questions, we've got answers!
Damn, I think I stole that one, too. Don't sue me Radio Shack.Or do.Whatever, you're Radio Shack! You don't scare me!
"A Visit to the Asylum for Aged and Decayed Punsters" was published in 1861 in The Atlantic.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Apparently our hosts really do have no sense of decorum, decency, or humor. And I have to sit and listen to this whole thing to try to come up with adequate warnings for you, dear listener, so you know what you're getting yourself in to.
Okay, so Clown Corner this week is inexplicably educational, the author's Fun Facts (provided by Ken this week) seem awfully short on fact, and the story is just...well, no, the story is actually quite good. A little unsettling, but it's A story called "The Phantom Wolfhound" by a guy name Otis Adelbert Kline, and it really is incredibly engaging.
But not engaging enough to keep your hosts on task.
Tangents include musical interludes by Bloodhound Gang (and The Offspring mislabeled as Bloodhound Gang, which neither Ken nor Heather picked up on, for shame, for shame), a treatise on the value of art, and some masturbation jokes. So, you know...even more scatterbrained than usual.
But really, you're here for this story!
Come on in!
"The Phantom Wolfhound" was published in 1923 in Weird Tales.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
This week we are literally getting a ghost story written by a priest!
That should literally be all it takes to sell you on this episode!
No? Need more?
Heather has chosen this week's story from author Sabine Baring-Gould. It is called "The Red-Haired Girl," and it is a shockingly fascinating story from a writer neither of your hosts had ever heard of before! Just...listen to it!
The episode is of course filled with the regular ridiculousness. Silly songs, butt stuff, and accusations of plagiarism abound!
But really, you're here for this story!
Come on in!
"The Red-Haired Girl" was published in 1903 in The Windsor Magazine.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
If you were going to list the things in this world that you fear the most, what would be on that list?
Now, take that list and make it a song.
That's basically this episode.
It makes very little sense, and your hosts are so gobsmacked by the story that the barely manage a single dick joke.
Ken has chosen a story for Heather this week by the oft requested author Charlotte Perkins Gilman called "The Rocking-Chair". It is one of the more subtly disconcerting stories they've covered on this podcast, and I actually think you might enjoy it.
There are still plenty of tangents though, for those of you who prefer the unfocused tirades. We've got Clown Rabies, Elementary School Discipline, and Sexy Blonde Psychopaths.
"The Rocking-Chair" was published in Worthington's Illustrated in 1893.
