Interrupted Tales

This week we switch from weird wintry tales to a weird mystery tale! First we wonder about what's a dream and what's getting its ass to Mars or not, then jump into a daring criminal enterprise involving molasses and a dopey gumshoe. There's also some banter about manservants and the movie Ghost (you know, typical conversational stuff).  This week's genres are Crime and Mystery as we present a serial from the pages of Detective Story Magazine.  It's time to curl up on your favorite cask and/or barrel and grab a drink, while we read you this week's tale. Follow us on Instagram at interruptedtales and Twitter @taleinterrupted and join the conversation on Facebook. Please take a moment and rate us on iTunes - it's the #1 thing you can do to support us.

E011: A Chance Clew

In our 49th podcast (49!) we combine two of our listener's favorite genres: Sci-fi and romance! "Moon, June, Spoon, Croon" is a futuristic Tale from the Summer, 1955 issue of Startling Stories (the same issue as listener favorite, "The Angry House) and while Alan reads, Rob interrupts and we discuss robot dating, janitors of the future, and the other Rick Astley song. Can a modern robot find its way in a cold, uncaring world? Can it overcome its limited yet somehow extremely powerful programming? And will the title ever make sense? All your questions will be answered (except that last one, cause, nope)! We also promo the excellent Ink to Film podcast, which you can find in your favorite podcast app or learn about right here. They read books and watch movies, it's a perfect blend of book talk, film talk, and humorous banter. Whether you've read the book or even seen the film they're discussing, it's always worth a listen! You can follow us on on Twitter @taleinterrupted, Instagram at interruptedtales, and Facebook. DM or message us through one of those or write to podcast@interruptedtales.com.

E049: Moon, June, Spoon, Croon

We discuss the believability of lies and what grandmas do in their spare time (knitting, baking, plotting death upon their enemies, etc.). Then we regale you with a tale of unsocialized idiots tuning into mysterious women from the future with rheostats. Rheostati? Rheostatuses? Preposteruses! As implied above, this week's story is a whole bunch of Science Fiction hoo-ha in the vein of Twilight Zone or an episode of Black Mirror that's 99% less about the bleak horrors of existence and inevitible crushing of the human experience by technology. It's from Galaxy Science Fiction, June, 1955, so if you like two guys talking about dames and the scientific breakthroughs that will finally allow one of them to feel love than this is the story for you. Basically what we're really getting at is that Ex Machina is a complete rip-off of this and someone owes someone else a lot of money. So it’s time to curl up in your favorite laboratory with your girlfriend who lives in Canada or Europe or wherever and grab a drink while we read you this week’s tale. Follow us on Instagram at interruptedtales and Twitter @taleinterrupted and join the conversation on Facebook. Please take a moment and rate us on iTunes - it helps us continue to bring high quality nonsense to you every Tuesday.

As implied above, this week's story is a whole bunch of Science Fiction hoo-ha in the vein of Twilight Zone or an episode of Black Mirror that's 99% less about the bleak horrors of existence and inevitible crushing of the human experience by technology. It's from Galaxy Science Fiction, June, 1955, so if you like two guys talking about dames and the scientific breakthroughs that will finally allow one of them to feel love than this is the story for you. Basically what we're really getting at is that Ex Machina is a complete rip-off of this and someone owes someone else a lot of money. So it’s time to curl up in your favorite laboratory with your girlfriend who lives in Canada or Europe or wherever and grab a drink while we read you this week’s tale.

LIVE FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT HOUSES, IT'S INTERRUPTED TALES... UM, LIVE! Recorded as part of the 3rd Annual Livestream for the Cure in support of the Cancer Research Institute, we present our latest show. It'll sound a little different than usual, you'll hear a few other voices occasionally, but it was all for a good cause. In this episode we interrupt an actual story from the 21st Century, a sci-fi Tale ripped from tomorrow's headlines, "Printcrime" by author/activist/co-creator of Boing Boing, Cory Doctorow.  Special thanks to Cory Doctorow for permission to use his story and please check out any of his works, and his latest book Radicalized, on his site DRM-free.   Special thanks to the Epic Film Guys Podcast, creators and managers of the Livestream for the Cure. This year they raised over $16,000 simply by incredibly hard work. Sometimes that's all it takes. Plus several weeks without sleep. They have a great podcast and it's available anywhere you get podcasts now and follow them @epicfilmguys. And special thanks to you, the listener, for putting up with 63 episodes of this extremely fun to make nonsense!   A quick scheduling reminder: Our next episode will be in exactly two weeks. On the in-between weeks we are releasing our sci-fi comic audiodrama, Parasitecology. We'll be back weekly after Parasitecology's 14-episode run.

E063: Interrupted Tales LIVE - Printcrime

Welcome to a special Super-Sized Sci-Fi Spectacular podcast with a Tale from HG Wells! Don't forget to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts/iTunes Right over here. In this episode, Rob embarrasses himself at the airport (as usual) and we read a tale from a titan of science fiction, the inventor of the idea of time travel as we know it, the man who predicted Martians could be killed by the common cold (it's actually HPV, but who wants to give them that?), the one and only HG Wells! The Man Who Could Work Miracles one is a story straight from the Twilight Zone, and we can only assume Wells actually invented a time machine, traveled forward 60-odd years, and came back so he could claim it as his own idea. Let's see Jules Verne do that! Anyhoo, to honor Mr. Wells, this episode is a bit longer than most, but you'll not only receive a delightful parable of a man given the powers of a god, you'll also get to hear us potentially alienate our British listenership (wih love!) and continue our random beef with places in Florida in the hopes of starting something (we're willing to trade if anyone lives in Tucson, Detroit, or Binghamton, however). Plus the usual nonsense, jokes about walking sticks, and BIBO! Don't know about Bibo? One doesn't really know Bibo, one only experiences Bibo. Bring Bibo into your life, today. To gaze at Bibo is to gaze into the infinite. Follow us on on Twitter @taleinterrupted, Instagram at interruptedtales, and join the conversation on Facebook. Again, please take a moment and rate us on iTunes! Right over here.

E038: A Weapon of the Law

Weird fruit part 3, then a jokey farce about a stranger-in-a-strange-land, a costume ball, quite a bit of lying and possible incestuous jewel thieving.  All set against the background of 1940s Paris, which - now that we think about - seems like a weird time to have a ball but... well, you'll see what happens.  This week's genre: Romantiheist. "Scrambled Yeggs" is from the anthology "Night Life Tales" Vol. 1, No. 19, and it's a bit risque on the face but not very titillating inside, but obviously we've added a bunch of sexiness just through our husky voices.  So grab an absinthe, and curl up on your favorite divan (that's the correct order in which you would do it, ROB) and sit back while we read you this week's tale. Follow us on Instagram at interruptedtales and Twitter @taleinterrupted and join the conversation on Facebook. Please take a moment and rate us on iTunes!  Right over here.

E022: Scrambled Yeggs

This thrilling episode: Rob reveals the true heights of his manliness (spoiler alert: ankle deep at best) and we read a science fiction story about a man who can turn invisible and his attempt to help the war effort by starring on the Great White Way! From the January 1943 issue of Amazing Stories, "The Chameleon Man" by William P. Mcgivern (writer of the film The Big Heat and at least 3 episodes of Kojak) features a man so forgettable that he actually becomes invisible and just wants to join the Army to help the war effort. So our protagonist, a shady talent agent (shocking!), decides the best way to aid him is by taking him straight to Broadway to make a few bucks. Forget sneaking into a bunker to get Hitler, this guy could be stage crew without even wearing black! That's the perfect use of his abilities, genius!  This story also includes a long paranthetical about the reality of invisible people from the editors so if you don't listen to this for the humor, tune in because you might just learn something. It's like how we watch Spinal Tap as a cautionary tale about the dangers of spontaneous combustion. So grab your favorite clear beverage and curl up in your favorite flesh-toned chair while we read you this week's tale. Follow us on on Twitter @taleinterrupted, Instagram at interruptedtales, join the conversation on Facebook. Please take a moment and rate us on iTunes!  Right over here.

E075: Conquering the Hoosac LIVE!

OUR 50th EPISODE! That's right, 50 episodes of kooky aliens, robots, cowboys, ghosts, lost loves, found loves, and whatever that Santa Claus story was about. We thank everyone who stuck with us over the last year and if this is your first episode you have SO MUCH to binge! This week's episode of mystery and murder is from Short Stories Magazine (Motto: "We're Cutting You Off at 8 Pages No Matter What!") and features the adventures of general dick-around-town, Felix Hazard. Actually, he outsources all of his work so he's pretty much Master Guy Sitting in Chair (and Detective), although props on the name.  Meanwhile, Rob reads a touching tribute to Alan on the big 5-0 and we promo the great Those Happy Places podcast. It's about theme parks, rides, and the lands that make them special. Buddy and Alice are great hosts and we heartily endorse their general awesomeness. You can follow us on on Twitter @taleinterrupted, Instagram at interruptedtales, and Facebook. DM or message us through one of those or write to podcast@interruptedtales.com. Please take a moment and rate us on iTunes! Right over here. Every reviewer get free stuff (Jelly the Gelatinous Cube pins, stickers, postcards with original art, and more) sent to them!

E050: The Brain Jungle

A mystery story with not much story and a detective story without much detecting, "The Master Key" will leave you breathless! If you have asthma and have climbed several flight of stairs. Otherwise you should be okay. From the April, 1928 issue of Amazing Stories magazine comes a Tale so transparent that it actually  gives the mystery away in the picture above the story. And they wonder why print is dead. Plus: Just how much would you pay for a nap? A quick scheduling reminder: Our next episode will be in exactly two weeks. On the in-between weeks we are releasing our sci-fi comic audiodrama, Parasitecology. We'll be back weekly after Parasitecology's 14-episode run.

E066: The Master Key

This episode Alan drops some science about thermocouplers and how important they are in today's modern homes (hint: you cannot reverse the polarity of a thermocoupler and swing your house around the sun to travel back in time). The we read a seemingly lighthearted story about a baseball player that suddenly takes a swerve into Thrilltown! BTW, if you've passed the 7-11 on Chiller Road, you've gone too far. From Wide-Awake Magazine in 1916, "The Shock" by Grant Trask Reeves (about whom little is known except he wrote baseball stories and either had an awesome name or great taste in pseudonyms) is about a drunk major leaguer (who is also a major league drunk) who gets in a bit of a bind with his manager and may have to pay the ultimate price. Is it jail? Being traded to Miami? Only time and this week's tale will tell! So curl up in your favorite dugout and grab some Big League Chew while we read you this week's tale. Follow us on on Twitter @taleinterrupted, Instagram at interruptedtales, join the conversation on Facebook. Please take a moment and rate us on iTunes!  Right over here.

E028: Love in a Cottage

Set your Kris' to "Kringle" and your calendars back about a week as we present the 2019 Holiday Interruptiganza Live! We recorded this special episode live on Twitch and our bowls are still full of jelly. It includes three tales of holiday joy PLUS a visit from the big man himself, Santa Claus. He's had a lot of eggnog and is ready to party, people (just don't mention Vixen, it's a whole thing). Also, stick around for a very specific joke about the Northern Virginia area outside Washington, DC. Fun! Follow us on Twitch at the Interruptedtales channel to hear us do our particular brand of nonsense live yourself! One of the things we're grateful for in 2019 was completing the first season of our comedy sci-fi fiction podcast, Parasitecology! It's got aliens, spaceships, work happy hours, trips to the supermarket, and a fugitive alien brain parasite named Cher. It's a whole lot of story in 14 episodes with each about 25 minutes long. Perfect for binging! To learn more about Parasitecology, visit our website https://ohthehumanity.com or search in any podcatcher.
