Lost Gods
Summary: Kweku Anansi is just another member of the African diaspora, trying to make a place for himself in his adopted home of Toronto, Canada. He dreams of better days, of a time when he could be stop running small time cons just to make the rent. He dreams of the life he used to live, centuries ago when he was revered as a god. A chance encounter with a fellow con man with a dark and secretive past of his own, plunges them both into the dark world of the lost gods, gods who would do anything to be worshipped again. Including destroying the world, if necessary. How far will Anansi go to reclaim his godhood? What will he give up to have true power again? The answers can be found in “Lost Gods”, a new weekly podcast novel from author Drew Beatty.

Hello Tricksters, Finally it has happened. After years of waiting and wondering when they would catch up with me, I have been comitted to the Brink.nbsp; I finally snapped after working on this freaking episode for so long (as of this writing it is currently crashing Audacity every time I try to edit it, so we will see if I ever get this up!) They are being very good to me here at Brinkdale. You can visit, or get committed yourself! All right, let's see if I can finish this damn thing. Story So Far: I totally forgot to do one. Jeebus this episode is making me mad. So, Coyote and Anansi try to have a civilized dinner, but Kanene realizes that something is amiss and drugs Coyote. Anansi uses the Baron's hat and bones to transport them to the library, where they warn Judy. Thinking his friends are safe, Anansi is ambused by Pritchard. Promos: None this week, I just can't edit anymore!

Hello all, So, you might have noticed that Lost Gods was not released last week - sorry about the lack of update, but a three day headache, my birthday, a lot of holidays and activity days and things like that just knocked me out of the loop.

So, hello tricksters, I hope you have been enjoying the show! Big congrats go out to Ron Earl Phillips, who suggested the nickname. I will be in touch with you about your prize, whatever I said it would be (now I forget - I'm not really a "details" person.) Next, I hope to see lots of you at Podcamp Toronto this weekend!
