Poor Little Dick
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
After three weeks away, Heather is back!
Which means all of those euphemistic jokes (alliterative or otherwise) that you've been missing are back.
With a vengeance.
Like, a big one...
Ken picked the story for Heather to read. It's by previous a new author in the Campfire Classics catalogue name Flora Annie Steel. She's the daughter of a wealthy English family during the height of the British Empire, so naturally we're all holding our breath just hoping she doesn't write anything socially problematic.
Your hosts skate through pretty easily on their vocabulary, but discuss the under-the-bed dirty mag stash, reference the 1993 film Boxing Helena, and try to make up for all the missed innuendos of the last three weeks.
"Dick Whittington and His Cat" was published 1918.

The Gentle Art of Uppercuts
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Have you ever been halfway through an entertaining piece of media, whether a movie, or a story, or say...a podcast episode... and suddenly found yourself thinking, "Gee, is this a little culturally insensitive?"
Well, that's how I felt listening to Ken's accent work during this week's story.
To be clear, there is nothing racist about the story. It's just, sometimes an accent is so bad it's offensive...
Anyway, this week, Ken gets to read "The Monster Maker" by Ray Bradbury. It's a wild adventure story reminiscent of some TTRPGs a certain member of this show's production staff has played recently.
"The Monster Maker" was published 1944 in Planet Stories. Extensive research has found no evidence of an active copyright.

My Floral Overlord
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
You ever join a cult?
Not a cute one like a bookclub, or pilates, or Taylor Swift fans, but one of the scary ones, like Heaven's Gate, or Scientology, or Dave Matthews fans (just kidding Dave, love you!).
This week's story give strong culty vibes.
Ken picked the story for Heather to read. It's by previous Campfire Classics author Clark Ashton Smith and it's called "The Demon of the Flower". It's a bizarre trip of a story clearly written by a man who would have rather been writing poetry.
Your hosts learn a lot of new words, choose a graphic alliterative euphemism, and make juvenile jokes about what the author's name sounds like.
"The Demon of the Flower" was published 1933 in Astounding Stories. Extensive research has uncovered no evidence of an active copyright.

Time Traveling Ghost Baby
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
This one goes some places.
The story, yes, but also your hosts.
Tangent alert.
Heather picks a story by Frank Stockton, an author we've not heard from since his appearance 4 years ago with the story "The Lady or the Tiger."
Ken can't finish a sentence, Heather makes up a new word, and dialects wander, generally.
Also, this is the week of Aroused Amusements.
Oh, and your hosts acknowledge (grudgingly) the Big Game.
"The Philosophy of Relative Existences" was published 1893 in The Watchmaker’s Wife and Other Stories

Nothin' But a Number
Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
Good morning Campers!
We're taking on a bug name in American Literature this week. Kurt Vonnegut!
So, many of our listeners already know whether they are in or out right there.
Ken has chosen the story "The Big Trip Up Yonder." He also does the Fun Facts session and leaves it on a cliffhanger!
Who'd have thought the education part of an edutainment podcast could be a cliffhanger.
Well, it is.
Heather reads and makes up some weird voices since there are no dialects to butcher.
Your hosts discuss the Grammy Awards, the Club in your mind, and how long it takes to learn to "conceal your pleasure".
"The Big Trip Up Yonder" was published in 1954 and is in public domain.
