  "I Don't Believe It!": Richard Wilson's Book of Absurdities by Richard Wilson - Episode 249

  Aug 10, 202656 minS11

  This week, it was Scribando's turn to dive into the Box o' Books (aka, The Book Hole). He emerged into another episode of READ, wherein he must speed-run the episode so the podcast doesn't blow up. Once again we're fairly out of our depth with anything from the U.K. and have no real understanding of who Richard Wilson is. Published in 1995 by Michael O'Mara, this book is full of questionable factoids and 1990s-standup-level humor, so be prepared to not find any of the book's content funny. Today's episode includes our usual barnyard language in addition to some sad excuses for humor from a few decades ago. TBC is an AI-free production. Audio by Oselka Sound.

  Episode #248

  The Archive: Chapter One (An Interactive Horror Story) by Tin Tipping *Patron's Choice* - Episode 248

  Jul 27, 20261h 33mS11

  Bookbarella is our Dungeon Mistress today as she narrates the first chapter of an interactive story which Scribando must try to survive as the sole player character. Can he make good choices after partaking in the wizard's leaf? Our Patron Tin submitted this to the show - and, for once, we were actually excited about an author's self-submission: " I'm a long time listener and a recent $10/month Patreon member. I'd like to request a review of my game book, The Archive: Chapter One. It's the first installment of a much larger story, so it's inevitably going to feel incomplete. It should at least be a better gaming experience than Dragonraid, though, lol. Hope you enjoy the story! Thanks for entertaining me through all the boring parts of my day job !" Resources: Download a $2 PDF or a $15 physical book of the adventure (sorry - the PDF was free at the time we recorded this, but inflation is escalating exponentially and aggressively, it seems!) Check out Tin's other artistic works as well In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes some mentions of dismemberment, death, torture, and liminal horrors beyond your imagination.

  Episode #247

  The Latte Factor by David Bach and John David Mann *Patron's Choice* - Episode 247

  Jul 13, 20261h 29mS11

  Our Patron Lucek requested any, "... pop financial advice book with some well dressed person with a Rolex and no clue how to actually survive in the real world ," so Scribando answered the call. He scrolled and scrolled through the Amazon Bestseller's list for Self Help books until he found this - a parable (that's right - no real-life examples here) about money management that somehow took two adult men to put together despite the fact that its content could fit within a single infographic. Today's episode includes our usual barnyard language and a brief mention of fictional death. We remind you that nothing in this episode should be acted upon as finanical advice as we are just two random human beings who read books and not financial advisors. TBC is an AI-free production.

  <p >Scribado ties on his apron and fastens his bowtie for his return to early 20th century American capitalist food business book hell! Our Patron JC suggested this in our Patreon chat simply saying, "I really enjoyed the Orville Redenbacher story. Get ready to GRIND IT OUT with Ray Kroc!!"</p> <p >Oh boy, are we grinding it out here. Every day, the sun rises on a new McDonald's.</p> <p >Today's episode includes our usual barnyard language.

  The Time of the Dark (Book #1 of the Darwath Trilogy) by Barbara Hambly

  Jun 1, 20261h 32mS11

  <p >Several years ago, while Bookbarella was away for a few months, this 1980s fantasy book appeared on her desk and no one ever admitted to leaving it there. She saw a wizard on the cover and tossed it into the future TBC pile, thinking nothing of it.</p> <p >Years later, she was consulting a friend about which books she should pick for TBC episodes this year and he helpfully reminded her that the wizard on the cover is a bit different from most wizards you see on fantasy book covers - he's sitting in a shitty apartment, having...
