FROM MY NEW PODCAST EVERLY HEIGHTS TALES. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and elsewhere! Experience the infamous broadcast that allegedly got Dogboy Adventures cancelled, presented exactly as it aired following WART-TV's Festive Greetings Holiday Parade. In the shadow of the rusted Curleyworld theme park, former carney Jon "Hot John" Pyre and his son Scotty scrape by in a freezing Winnebago, surviving on cold beans and hard truths. Desperate to give his son a better future, John concocts a yuletide lie to drive Scotty away, all while secretly selling his muscle to the Guild of Thieves. A gritty, tear-stained holiday noir about sacrifice, "bad" dads, and the lies we tell to protect the ones we love. Once thought lost, the episode was recovered in a YouTube video featuring the full parade, an interview with Full House's Jodie Sweetin, and the only known recording of "Hot John Hates Holidays." In the aftershow, Bill Meeks reunites with Nathan Beatty, the original "voice of Colta City" who narrated the Dogboy audiobook series a decade ago. Nathan shares what it was like stepping back into the cowl after all these years and debates which character is more fun to play: the gruff Hot John or the verbose Osbert. Plus, Nathan shares his own most memorable Christmas in this special look behind the mask of Everly Heights’ favorite pulp hero. Includes several promotional video clips for the original book series.

A sneak peek at an upcoming episode of the new audio drama anthology from Bill Meeks. Meet the Special family, a theater-loving, stoner couple and their three very different kids. It’s 1994, and Michael and Jennifer Special are just trying to help fund in the arts in their community, but their son Ricky is on the run from a school bully, and their daughter Zara is betting everything on a plan to start the school year as a popular girl. With a mix of '90s nostalgia, sitcom homages, and a healthy dose of humor, "Welcome, Freshmen" will teach you the joys of scented oxygen, the perils of Crystal Pepsi, and why you should never trust a math teacher to do "creative accounting" for the arts. Equal parts funny, smart, and a little messed up, just like Everly Heights itself.     SPONSOR CAST LIST Bill Meeks - Ricky Special/Infomercial Announcer/Mr. MathesonSean Seigler - Michael SpecialKristyna Zahrek - Abby SpecialLaurin Skarr - Zara SpecialKaushal Patel - Phillip "Sinnimon Slush" SimonsonHelena Geraci - Jennifer SpecialDallis MaxKenzie - Beatrix KnappMandy McCullough - Rebbeca/VeronicaHoward F.

Revealing the Dogboy: Den of Thieves cover art by Paul Loudon, as well as some news about the podcast and book release schedules.

Listen to the podcast though. It’s much less boring. Order an autographed copy of the book at bit.ly/realdogboy.

Episode 10, Chapter 10 – Hot John. Dogboy is captured. Osbert. Blaze takes the blame. “Erica felt a chill and decided it might be better to go ahead and cut her break short. She turned to head back in the side door and ran into a big block of a man. He looked like a prize fighter who’d lost one too many fights. Bald, muscular, and with a few important teeth missing.”

Episode 8, Chapter 8 –  Bronson finds a hideout. Cindy and Bronson return to school. Sister Francine. The good guys get cornered in the magic shop. “We no make excuse here. If you make mistake, you tell me and you learn. I teach you. You respect friend and job stay together. You no do this the whole thing fall apart, you betcha.”

Episode 8, Chapter 8 – Bronson gets a job. Cindy wakes up below City Hall. Andrus makes a speech to the guild. Cindy talks to her mom. Uncle Randolph does a mean thing. “We are the Guild of Thieves, and we exist to take back this world from the rich and the powerful. In ancient times kingdoms were run by kings and fought for by people like us. And what has changed? The rich are richer, the poor are poorer, and evil men live above while good men live below. But some men would like to take our destiny away from us. A boy dressed as a dog hurt one of us, and by hurting one of us he has hurt all of us.”

Episode 7, Chapter 7 -The Cowboy in the Parking Garage: A vision in the parking garage. The Cowboy. Bronson writes a letter. Blaze gets grilled. “Dogboy thought it might be best to startle Blaze before showing himself. If he just jumped out from under the car the guy would have a few seconds to get the jump on him. He pulled the flash papers and a lighter from his pocket. He reached out and slid a few pieces of the paper under Blaze’s boot.”

Episode 6, Chapter 6 – Problems and Bigger Ones: Bugs makes out with Skyler. Bronson apologizes to Mr. Horum. Cindy interviews Mayor Lane. Randolph gives Bronson an ultimatum. “What? Are you asking if I believe the ghost stories about a man organizing the small-timers? The Guild of Thieves? Absolutely not. The spike, and that’s all it is, the spike in crime in Colta City is easy to explain. Most importantly it was expected. Our fine Colta City PD are prepared to face this perfectly normal spike in activity. Most students start with ‘What does the mayor do?’ by the way. Good to see one of you who has an interest in current events.”
