March 05, 2019 04:52 - 39.7 MBSay it again now, children . . . In this one, I share the very first story I wrote for the "Masters of the Macabre" contest, "Friends In Paradise." Poor Jessica is stuck going to Hawaii with her family, but perhaps she can see a friendly face while she's there. Or faces. So, I'm going to try to call these contest-losing story episodes "Pout of Competition" shows (if you think that's bad, you should see the names I rejected!). Maybe I'll get Gino to make me a symbol to stick ...

Rish Outcast 130: Drive Like Wildfire
February 07, 2019 17:28 - 39.4 MBSo, this is another episode where I drive to the family cabin. Only difference is, there had been some terrible wildfires at the time (which would only get worse in the days that followed, destroying over 150,000 acres), making the drive way more interesting. Of course, talked the whole time, making the drive only slightly more interesting.

Rish Outcast 128: Lost and Found (Part I)
January 17, 2019 18:20 - 55.2 MBA few months back, I ran a show called "But Now I'm Found," where I talked (extensively) about my story "Lost & Found," and speculated about a sequel. To my surprise, I hadn't actually run "Lost & Found" on the podcast, so that same day, I recorded this episode. Timely, huh? Will Choner is a boy with an unusual ability, but a dangerous one, one forbidden by his mother. Can his uncle persuade them to let him use the power, if it's for a good cause?

October 15, 2018 02:59 - 53 MBAmong the crickets, I continue to present my Western story "A Sidekick's Journey." Ben Parks rides into danger with Lorelei Skruggs!

September 13, 2018 17:23 - 72.7 MBSorry about the delay on this, but I finally got around to seeing the final episode of "Downton Abbey" this week.

Rish Outcast 114: ¡Ay, Caligula!
August 10, 2018 23:21 - 20.1 MBRemember that sketch called "The Little Talk?" Well, here's another of its ilk . . . only more twisted. It's about Emperor Caligula, and is hopefully educational, but definitely offensive. It's a free history lesson, as only a sicko like Rish Outfield can bring you. If you'd like to download this episode, Right-Click HERE. Note: The other episode like this one I couldn't name was "Sea Monkey Do." Actually much closer than "The Little Talk."

Rish Outcast 112: Creative Constipation
July 09, 2018 04:22 - 45 MBSo, I had quite a stretch this year where I did not write, and more importantly, didn't want to write. It was no fun, and I did a handful of things to try to get out of that creative funk. Hey, maybe "Creative Funk" would have been a nicer title for this episode. But you know how I am. Unfortunately, I complain about Harlan Ellison in this episode, and it was supposed to be released the same day he died (for the Patreon supporters, anyway). I had to sit on it for a few days, deciding whe...
Rish Outcast 111: Grandpa's Prize

Rish Outcast 107: Exchange At A Harvest Festival
April 26, 2018 19:16This story is sort of a companion piece to "Frewish Memorial," and could be a follow-up to "Like A Good Neighbor," just way, way shorter. Oh, I've done it again.

And speaking of let-downs, the next episode (107) is gonna be for Patreon supporters only. I can't even remember why at this point. Here's a LINK to Right-Click if you w...
Rish Outcast 105: Why Blank Sucks
April 05, 2018 23:15 - 38.3 MBSo, driving down to a high school get-together, I talk about Star Wars, old friends, frogs, movie reviewers, Ewoks, and misleading/assuming/irritating titles for YouTube videos. This episode is either a PERFECT example of the show, or the WORST one I've ever recorded. It'll need a judge's ruling to be sure. Also, Fake Ahnold tries to get Fake Sean to feel the beat (of the rhythm [of the night]). Feel you like downloading the episode? Well, Right-Click HERE. Episode 107 is going to be a ...
