The Double Shadow

Satampra Zeiros plans his most daring heist yet, stealing the jeweled girdles of 39 temple virgins.

In the 9th chapter of the book of Eibon, we learn of the White Worm's coming and what that meant to the lands of Hyperborea.

Progress has been made on our next episode, in that it's actually finally been recorded and is being worked on. But with travel schedules and projects, we're a bit behind where we'd like to be. Once we get to September, we hope to be back to the minimum of 2/month and possibly an interlude as well. For your listening pleasure now, however, we present Tim!

While Phil may not be doomed, his woes have kept us from recording, alas, so we've got this interlude with him presenting Smith's "Doom of America." - We've been having a hell of a time recording the next episode(s). We're looking forward to doing "Coming of the White Worm" with Michael Bukowski, but scheduling 4 people has been complicated by a power outage one time we tried to record and someone having a bad case of the stomach flu the second time. Cross your fingers and make your sacrifices for a successful third attempt at a recording session. In the meantime, we present Phil and CAS's poem "The Doom of America." Music: Sonorant – Soul Extinct

Ralibar Vooz ventures deeper under the mountain, compelled to follow the geases put upon him and encounters many strange beings.

Welcoming back Jason Thompson for this two-part episode as we travel deeper and deeper under Tsathoggua's mountain.

A transcription is available for this interlude. This week’s mostly announcements and excerpts from some of CAS’s letters! The delay is caused because, excitingly, we were nominated for the Parsec awards for speculative fiction podcasting! The three of us had to listen to most of the old episodes to discover what clip or clips we wanted to submit. In the end, we sent in a long clip from the first half of “The Door the Saturn,” along with an ending teaser clip. It’ll be put up on the podcast site a bit later. We’re also excited to announce that we’ve started a project to transcribe all the episodes. This will open the podcast up to people with hearing loss or other reasons for not being able to listen to podcasts, should they be interested. We’ve got a handful of the first episodes transcribed and more on the way. We’re also looking for volunteers to transcribe even one episode—let us know if you’re interested. We’ve got “The Seven Geases” coming up with special guest Jason Thompson.

Tortha the poet becomes Tortha the wanderer as he seeks out the phantasmal White Sybil.

Quanga the huntsman sets out to find jewels which had been lost in an eldritch glacier. But perhaps their lack of superstition is a mistake.

Athammaus, chief headsman of Commoriom, completes retelling the horrifying story of how the city came to be entirely abandoned. With Guest Mike Bukowski.

Athammaus, chief headsman of Commoriom, tells the horrifying story of how the city came to be entirely abandoned and why it hasn't been visited since.

In this comedic morality tale, a money-lender meets a fate far stranger than he could have imagined.

This week, we’re finishing up “A Door to Saturn.” Our reader is still @JoeScalora, a longtime listener and the first non-guest reader we’ve had for the podcast. Thanks for all the positive feedback we’ve gotten for him, we’re planning to ask him to read from time-to-time in the future! As a reminder, we’re giving away a copy of The Weird and you can win it. Just draw Tsathoggua, as you see him, and send it to us. You can use our contact page, Twitter, Facebook, or our forums to submit your entry. We’ll be posting them, but we’ll choose randomly, so make a valiant effort! To help those of you with less artistic talent feel better, here are ours: The contest ends March 20th! Join us next time for “The Weird of Avoosl Wuthoqquan” Music by Erdenstern.
