Rish Outcast 210: Cry Uncle


In this TMI show, I talk about my Uncle Len, who passed away.  I drone on about his funeral, and then share a new story in his memory, "Here With My Childhood Friend."

Note: The story is a sequel to "Who Can It Be Now?" which was presented in Episode 170 of the show.

Rish Outcast 140: Closet Case

In this episode, I share my short story "Closet Case," and ponder its worth.


It's another of those stories I wrote for an online contest . . . another contest I did not win.

But let's ponder it together, huh?

Rish Outcast 132: Friends In Paradise

Say it again now, children . . .


In this one, I share the very first story I wrote for the "Masters of the Macabre" contest, "Friends In Paradise." Poor Jessica is stuck going to Hawaii with her family, but perhaps she can see a friendly face while she's there.  Or faces.

So, I'm going to try to call these contest-losing story episodes "Pout of Competition" shows (if you think that's bad, you should see the names I rejected!).   Maybe I'll get Gino to make me a symbol to stick on 'em.

Rish Outcast 129: Lost and Found (Part II)



In this episode, I share the second half of "Lost and Found," picking up with Armin and Will leaving Mr. Kassad's office.  Once again, I sum up my ideas for a sequel, and explain where the inspiration came from.

I also talk about Anne Frank, Samuel L. Jackson, and Abraham Van Helsing.  What more could you ask, Pia Zadora?

Rish Outcast 128: Lost and Found (Part I)

A few months back, I ran a show called "But Now I'm Found,"  where I talked (extensively) about my story "Lost & Found," and speculated about a sequel. To my surprise, I hadn't actually run "Lost & Found" on the podcast, so that same day, I recorded this episode. 

Timely, huh?



Will Choner is a boy with an unusual ability, but a dangerous one, one forbidden by his mother. Can his uncle persuade them to let him use the power, if it's for a good cause?

Rish Outcast 111: Grandpa's Prize

In an extremely noisy environment, I present a story from the Nineties about a little boy and his ailing grandfather. I talk about it being dated (and the ubiquity of cellphones), but it's up to you whether it actually is.


I tried to record this one at the lake again, and ended up getting turned away and rained on, but I hope you like it anyway.
