Taliesin is recruited by Doc Defiant to assist him and Prof. Picklepepper in the search and rescue effort for Prof. Wheaton Barley, a vampirologist last seen investigating a possible feral vampire outbreak in Doctor Despicable's hometown of Slumgullia. Meanwhile, Doc receives a letter he thinks is inviting him to receive an award from the Slumgullian locals. Coincidence? Probably not.

While we find ourselves trapped between villagers with torches and pitchforks and a plague of feral vampires, you get to listen to an episode of Stage 49 - a production of Dracula featuring Lorne Greene! We also throw in a novelty record by Al Zanino and a few vampire movie trailers.   Taliesin unveils his second ever Bottom 3, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.

When holidays strike...

2009-12-02T02:56:00Z

Hi there, fellow astronauts!

The Thanksgiving holidays brought family visits, a 10-hour a day/5-day a week job and a death in the family, so the podcast is a tad late. Look for it next weekend...

Hi there, fellow astronauts!

Wow, has this been a bad week. Really, really very bad. Perhaps - dare I say it? No...

But yes!

Perhaps I am cursed. But only this week. I don't feel that I'll be cursed the following week.

Yes, fellow astronauts, we're skipping a podcast. But never fear, in a week and a half or so we'll be back. Ha ha!

And what in the heck is a Peruvian Thigh Trap, anyway?

While these questions are answered (or not), you get to listen to episodes of The Clock, The Creaking Door and Nightfall and try to figure out who the killer in those tales are! Taliesin discusses serial killers as they relate to vampires, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.

Hi there, fellow astronauts!

Many apologies, but this past weekend turned out to be a complete wash for me, so I have to postpone the podcast until next weekend. I've gotten so many art gigs that, because I was unable to wrap up the editing for "Jurassic Despicable, Pt. 2" Sunday, I need to step away from it and get to the paying gigs this week. Don't fret, fellow astronauts - I will have the next podcast up next weekend.

Thanks for your understanding!

(50.8 MB; 1:51:07 MIN)

Doctor Despicable decides to open theme parks in various time periods in order to really cash in on his time travel discovery. When he brings potential investors to the Jurassic Period, things get a little hairy... especially for Dr. Von Martinez!

While we try to survive cavemen, dinosaurs, Mister Master Mastrepol and a particularly ticked off henchman, you get to listen to two X Minus One episodes and an SF68 episode concerning prehistoric time travel! Taliesin gives us a few examples of time travel in vampire fiction, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.

Episode 0.058: Fists Of The Yecchi
(48.6 MB; 1:46:18 MIN)

The original post was missing the end of the story! The end has been tacked on, ensuring less confusing listening.

After Dr. Von Martinez starts the next Ice Age by fiddling with Doctor Despicable's Weather molestation device - or at least what seems to be the next Ice Age - Captain Bonemarrow, Dr. Von Martinez, Adolph and I must travel the frozen wasteland to find the parts to fix Doc's machine. But it's more the elements they must brave...

Can we survive the dreaded Yecchi? Can beef jerky tame the savage beast? Can Prof. Picklepepper save the world without a library card? and can Eugene really drive anyone away by simply talking?

While we try to survive frostbite and Yecchi bite, you get to listen to two Escape episodes and a Nightfall episode concerning the horrors of the cold! Taliesin avoids answering whether or not vampire fangs are susceptible to ice cream freeze when he discusses cold weather bloodsuckers, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.

I took a trip to the first annual Indy Paracon, a paranormal convention in Danville, Indiana, and spoke with four different ghost hunters - Chris Dedman, Paul Browning (Clarksville Ghost Hunters), Michael D. McDonald (Kindred Moon Paranormal Society) and Sarah Neher (In Nomine Paranormal Research). I also offer up three ghost tales from the Hall Of Fantasy, Beyond Midnight and Fear On Four.

THE BRAND SPANKIN' NEW FREQUENCY LITE PAGE

2009-06-05T00:16:00Z

As some of you may know, we edit the original wraparound stories into their very own self-contained audio drama (emphasis on the "audio", not so much on the "drama"). They've been featured on the Sonic Society's podcast, the Jack And Shannon Show. We also had a page set up for those with a link to the right, but frankly, the page sucked. I wasn't crazy about the layout or how difficult it was to update, and Doc hated all the pastel colors I didn't notice because I'm terribly colorblind. In came Dr. Wilheim Von Martinez to save the day! After accidently re-inventing the Tofurkey, he set up a marvelous new Frequency Lite page, one that is more organized and allows for comments. We'll be expanding the page to include character and actor bios, as well as other fun stuff. Check it out!

EPISODE 0.056: FOR YOUR BRAIN ONLY

Episode 0.056: For Your Brain Only
(35.1 MB; 1:16:46 MIN)

As Dr. Von Martinez and Adolph move into Castle Despicable, Captain Bonemarrow finds himself missing the old Von Martinez lab, whereas I do not. In fact, I mention one of a laundry list of bad experiences that seemed to be initiated by merely entering Von Martinez' house. Von Martinez gets on the wrong side of international superspy John Baines, then accidentally swaps minds with me before Baines chases us around town. Can we fix Von Martinez brain-swapping machine before I spent the rest of Von Martinez' life in a high-security prison?

While we try to survive yet another Von Martinez fiasco, you get to listen to the two-part Suspense adaptation of Curt Siodmak's "Donovan's Brain"!
