74: Making Light
It’s a new week! A new day! A new podcast name! Huh? Yeah, so “Apocaleptic” is now the “Outta Toon Podcast.” Don’t be scared. It won’t hurt you. Listen to the show and let me explain. I’m dealing with dog poop issues. Also, I’m wearing women’s clothes. This is how my week is starting, how about yours? We’re in the middle of the Diwali celebration. Did you know? If you don’t know much about Diwali, here, let someone who also doesn’t know much about Diwali explain it to you. It’ll be like political talk at my house on Thanksgiving. Thanks for listening my friends. Reach out and say “hello” this week. I’ll see you Thursday.
73: Anniversary
Hi friends! Welcome to the 1 Year Anniversary of Apocaleptic! Woah! Holy Crap! How did this happen! I want to think everyone for hanging out with me for a year. As a reward, I’m going to make the show EVEN BETTER! You’ll notice some new additions and tweaking of the old very soon. And by “old” I mean me. I’ll be tweaking myself. It’s how I celebrate. Seriously, thanks for taking time out to listen to this thing. You’re amazing. I’ll see you again very soon!
72: Psychic Dogs And Cats With Frogs
Halloween is over but I’m being held hostage by my leftover candy! This is not good. Someone come rescue me! So, I’m pretty sure my dog knows my every move before I make them. Scary. Hey, I got in trouble this week by Facebook for posting a picture of a Facebook ad. How does that even make sense?? And yet… Well, I discuss a controversial topic on this episode. It’s about bodies and boobs and nakedness and stuff. Don’t get mad. We’re adults. Let’s talk about it, okay? I’ll see you again in a few days, friends.
71: The Story of Red Dog Road
On this episode I discuss how and why I wrote my latest horror story, “The Specter of Red Dog Road.” Then I attach a reading of the story for your Halloween haunted season entertainment. Hope you enjoy it. See you Thursday!
70: Adulting Gone Wrong
Hi my friends, welcome to a middle-of-the-week show. Last week was a busy one. I did a lot of the things I discussed on the show. Said goodbye to a kitty, told some ghost stories, saw naked breasts on the streets of Atlanta. All the normal stuff. This week I’m into the fairy tales of holidays, social media bully posting and the ongoing failure of adults to be good adults. You know, all the normal stuff. Hope your life story is going well. Reach out and let me know. See y’all next week!
69: Stigmata
Hello friends! A short show this week. I’m healing from an episode of stigmata thanks to a power drill and bad judgement. My old man cat is on his last paw and I’m preparing to say goodbye. Sad to let our little friends go, huh? I’m also preparing to tel haunted stories at Stone Mountain Park’s “A Tour of Southern Ghosts” storytelling event. If you’re in the are stop by and get haunted. We’ll talk again soon.
68: I Want To Live Forever
I know. This episode is weird. Quirky. Kinda freaky. Hey, it’s the vaccines, okay? Maybe the anti-vac people are on to something after all. Anyway, on this show I discuss vaccines, good music, Cameo and trying to control fame. At least I think that’s what I discussed. I can’t remember. I’ll try again tomorrow. See you soon, friends.
67: Dancing In The Seats
Hey, I actually recorded a show without having to do it twice! Pushing the record button really works! Well, I’m preparing to decorate for autumn, how about you? Atlanta is going to be rather fall-like this week and I’m ready to make the best of it. I got to see “Stop Making Sense” this week and it’s still (maybe) the best concert film ever. Catch it on the big screen if you can. Don’t forget to enjoy your experiences when you have them, my friends. They are all we have in life. Once they are gone, you’re gone. Let’s talk again later this week.
66: Let’s Do It Again
A last minute impromptu guest invite brings us the lovely Maria, a woman I spend most of my life with. Mostly because we got married but also because she’s pretty hot and smarter than me is. Unfortunately, I completely get everything off to a bad start by almost getting through the entire show and then realizing I forgot to push “Record.” Embarrassing. Anyway, it all turned out okay. We discuss “Only Murders In The Building,” the arrival of autumn, and the very first concert we ever went to. Probably worth a listen. Hope you like it.
65: The Gospel of Blasphemy
Nice to be back, my friends. It was a little forced vacation as I dealt with the earth trying to shake me off of it. I’m not so sure it has ever really been comfortable with me. Hey, I recently read about the Aghori sect of Hinduism and it made me think about a philosophy I developed back in my 20s which I call “The Gospel of Blasphemy.” The Aghoris are very unorthodox and unusual. Quite blasphemous if you can’t handle the taboo. A bit creepy. A good group to reseach as we approach the season of haunts. I’ve also been obsessing over a pop-electronica band called Venus Hum. Maybe you know about them. They’ve been around for 25 years or so. I’m just now discovering them. Story of my life. See you later this week.
