After "The Tree" series, I'm going to need to wind this podcast down to get ready for the school year and my new kid. I'll try to post more episodes when I have time, but this may have to become a podcast that has a new season each summer. To be clear, this isn't the end. There will be two more podcasts to finish out the current batch of four, and …

In this game, you are literally a volcano and you use story prompts to build a society and help your inhabitants react to changes on th…

A red and white tree is having a boring day, but the seasons are changing.

Clown #3 - Noir 1:05:46

2y ago1:05:46

1:05:46

A clown tries his hand at stand-up comedy. It doesn't go well. This one isn't especially noir-y, I suppose, but the walk home is exactly how I remember walking home late at night in the city. I like how that part came out. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/balou Contact: 4shaggydogstories@gmail.com Hope everyone is staying safe and well, -B…

Watermelon #3 - Noir 1:10:24

1:10:24

A man tracks the trail of a conspiracy around watermelon, and enjoys some delicious tacos on a snowy day. I had some real difficulty recording this one, what with everything that is going on. You'll notice a few places where I change details from the beginning to the end, but hey, we still get there, and it is a shaggy dog story. It's also not supe…

Red and White #3 - Noir 1:07:56

2y ago1:07:56

1:07:56

A singer takes to the stage for the nightly show at a red and white supper club, while outside the rain pours down. I really had fun recording this one. At various points in the story, I thought of some darker, more gritty directions I could take it in, but decided not to. Minor spoiler, but this is maybe the happiest ending I've done so far. Enjoy…

A deep sea welder helps to repair damage to one of the arcologies caused by an earthquake, but this stupid clown on her team keeps distracting her. This is the third story in the arcology setting.

Red and white twins go on a school field trip from their arcology to a deep-sea vent. This is the second story in the arcology setting. I've got an idea for how to handle the Clown story in this setting, but not a great one for the Watermelon story yet. Stay tuned! Want to help pick out the setting of the next batch of stories?

The Fourth Shaggy Dog - Clown #1 1:02:33

2y ago1:02:33

1:02:33

The fourth shaggy dog story - the clown story. This is the last one that I learned, and the one that I was most worried about having to stretch into a full hour. This one took a big left turn about halfway through, but I'm pretty happy with where it came out. A man is insulted by a clown, tries to get back at him, and then finds a new life. I'm sti…

The watermelon story... this is the first Shaggy Dog story I learned, and maybe the one that I'm most excited to play with in the future. A little girl is disappointed that she doesn't get watermelon for lunch, and then her entire world is upended. Once again, I'm trying a new recording set up, so if this one sounds better or worse to you, please f…

I tried a different recording set-up this time, and hopefully the audio sounds a little better to y'all out there. Once again, feel free to let me know at 4shagg…

In this episode, I describe how Zoe taught me about individual liberty and connecting to the wildness within. There is an excerpt from Debussy's Nocturnes (L. 91) and a quote from Clarissa Pinkola Estés's, "Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype".โดย Jennifer Mora
