Hopefully you enjoy this final look back at the Dunesteef, before we forge ahead with our new goals and futures. Here's to the good times we had, and to the good times we will continue to have from here on out. We're going to be young forever!

Episode 227: The Final New Episode - Know When To Walk Away, Know When To Run by Rish Outfield Episode 227: The Final New Episode - Know When To Walk Away, Know When To Run by Rish Outfield Mon, 15 Aug 2022 11:00:55 +0000 The day has finally come, folks. It's the final new episode of the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine. We've been at this for fourteen years, but our production has flagged considerably as the years have gone by. Rather than let the Dunesteef fade away slowly, we thought it would be best to give the old girl a proper burial. So, here we are.

First, we bring you a story from Rish Outfield called, "Know When to Walk Away, Know When to Run." An emotionally unstable man goes to a casino with his best friend to soothe his pain from the anniversary of being left at the altar. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned, because not everyone at the poker table is who they seem.

After the story is over, Rish and Big talk about a number of things, from the happy things that the podcast brought to their lives, to the future of what you can expect from the two of them. We're going to miss you all, but it doesn't have to be the end. Don't say goodbye, say good journey.

Special thanks to Julie Hoverson, Tena Kolokowski, and Bryan Lincoln for lending their voices to the story.

Episode 225: When Thorns Are The Tips Of Trees by Jason Sanford Episode 225: When Thorns Are The Tips Of Trees by Jason Sanford Fri, 05 Nov 2021 16:08:37 +0000

It's Jason Sanford month everybody! So put on your ugly Jason Sanford Month sweaters; make yourself a mug of The Ships Like Clouds, Risen By Their Rain tea, and gather around the table for the roast Plague Birds. It's time to enjoy some more Jason Sanford!

Today, we have a vintage Dunesteef production of Jason's story, When Thorns Are The Tips Of Trees, originally produced for the StarShipSofa podcast back in 2009. Miles and his father care for the local memorial grove, but the job has become a more dangerous as gangs of deteriorating thorn die, almost zombie-like people driven mad by the phage that is rewriting their DNA, have begun attacking the groves all around the area. Can they survive, or will they become thorn die themselves?

Afterward, Rish and Big talk about how much of a formative moment this story was in the history of the podcast, and look back at the production process for putting it all together.

Episode 224: An Interview With Jason Sanford Episode 224: An Interview With Jason Sanford Fri, 22 Oct 2021 15:46:12 +0000 Jason Sanford recently published his first novel, and it has a title that might sound familiar to long time listeners of the Dunesteef. His new book is called "Plague Birds." That's right, the book is the further and expanded adventures of Crista and her AI symbiote that we first brought to you back in episode 92 and then continued their story in episodes 125 and 126 with Jason's sequel. Now you can buy the novel length story which further explores the detailed and fascinating world the characters occupied, expands the story of Crista, and uncovers an extremely personal conspiracy that threatens the lives of millions.

We got the amazing opportunity to sit down and talk with Jason about his novel, his process, and pitfalls of the industry. Listen to (or watch) the interview, and be sure to support Jason by buying the book.

P.S. - Sorry about Big's microphone. He thought he was getting the sound from the nice mic you can see in the shot, but he was actually getting his sound from the built-in mic on his computer, recording all the echoes bouncing around that big study he is sitting in.

Rish really wanted to talk about the monumental achievement that was AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, and that, for a year, the world was stuck with the unhappy ending of all unhappy endings.

Of course, we talk about THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and also speculate a bit about where the fourth Avengers film might go. And then Rish lost the file.

But he found it again when it was far too late to be even remotely relevant, but if you've missed us and our conversations, here it is, in all its . . . glory?

Well, I decided to listen to it the last time I went camping, and after the first ten minutes or so, I decided it might be entertaining, at least to me and Big. So, here is Big and me discussing the books that shaped America. At least, the books after the most important ones.

Whether you agree with the list, and our thoughts about the books on it, I'm sure we can all agree . . . that the sound DEFINITELY makes the episode unlistenable.

*Also, the audio quality is slightly worse than terrible.

But when he read the description of the book, he thought, "Hey, I wrote a story with that plot once."

Episode 184: I, Zombie by Christopher Munroe Episode 184: I, Zombie by Christopher Munroe Mon, 22 Aug 2016 05:05:27 +0000 When the zombie apocalypse arrived, we weren't prepared. We fought amongst ourselves. We did everything wrong. Now, breathers are a minority to the zees. We run and hide constantly from the shambling hordes, as they are driven onward by their never-ending hunger for warm, living flesh. That's why they do it, right?

Afterward, Big and Rish talk...well, zombies of course. Then they hit two things that they forgot to include in the last episode. Sorry about that guys, we meant to do them, but when we lost our first recording, we became scatterbrained.

Unfortunately, there at the entrance, between the twin peaks of Seidar and Phaestia, prowls Ol' Sly, a gigantic squid creature that would like nothing more than to crack a ship open like a jaca fruit, and pick the sailors out and eat them like the sweet seeds. Small Fry and the Admiral have a plan, though. They mean to take down Ol' Sly once and for all, and open the western continent to their ships.
 
Afterward, Rish and Big try to decide what really is the worst way to wake up, live squid or porcupine covered in hair gel? Oh, and song. You have been warned.

I'll try to put out these episodes in a more rigid schedule, and see if I can't get the tale told in a timely manner.

But in this episode, which started out as me trying to do a blog post when I was too busy to do a blogpost, I talk a bit about what's going on in my world, and an idea I got for forthcoming episodes. 

Also, I present, "Sea Monkey Do," a little piece briefly summarizing the origin of the worst child scam in modern history (not taking Pokemon cards into account).

This is, hopefully, only the first in a series of more regular podcasts from yours truly (and Fake Sean Connery, if I can ever get our schedules to synch).

Afterwards, Big and Rish talk CHEMO, get a lot of text messages, and giggle far more than is professionally acceptable.  Beware, there's probably something offensive in all of that...we're not sure what, but we're pretty sure it's there.

Also, Big and Rish talk about how much better The Dark Knight is than its predecessor Batman Begins.  They also talk about how much better Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan is than its predecessor Star Trek: The Motion Picture.  And that's before the story even begins.  You'd think we were in for a long show, but surprisingly, they reign it in after the story ends.  You may not be searching for a way to deafen yourself by the end of the show after all.

Episode 124: The Question by Robert Lowell Russell Episode 124: The Question by Robert Lowell Russell Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:34:40 +0000 Is this our Valentine's Day episode, or another anti-Valentine's show?  You be the judge.
 
It's the question on everybody's minds, as soon as they hear about fully-functional, human-like robots.  And though you wouldn't know it from listening to Rish Outfield, this story was not written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
 
Afterward, very little gets said about robot sex, but there is a little more spoken about human relationships, and a couple of stories about inspiration are swapped.  If you're that guy who complained about platitudes, though, you will find nothing of worth here, so move along.

Afterward, Big and Rish try to explain why this episode is so late, and talk about calendars and record-keeping (sounds fascinating, I know).  Also, some kind of announcement is made in there somewhere.

There couldn't possibly be something sinister underneath, could there?

Afterward, Rish and Big talk and talk and talk.  Evil children.  Trick or treating.  Halloween candy.  Clean-bots.  Kindly old people.  Snot-nosed brats.  Superman with elephantitis.  This is destined to be one of our best episodes ever.  Or easily our worst.

Also, would R080T be better or worse if he had a different voice?  Only several ways to know for sure.

Please excuse the audio problems on this show.  It won't happen again...at least, we don't think it will.
