New GhostCake Unbodied Episode: My robo roommate

Yes, here is the place for you to put questions or comments about the show. If you haven't listened to it yet, go here and download it. You can find the show on iTunes too by searching for ghost cake. 

This episode is another story from The Unbodied, which is the radio theater incarnation of the show. I really enjoy doing these episodes because it's so much fun to get everyone together to record. It does, however, take a very long time to edit the show as well. I was spending an hour or two to edit about ten minutes. Most of that time was taken up by trying to find the right sounds from freesound.org. I'm trying to figure out a quicker way to edit everything so I can get more episodes out. 

I've been trying to decide if I should split the show into two shows, one for my adventures around town and the other for the stories. It really depends on whether some people would only listen to one kind of show or the other. Speaking of which, I'm going to try to record another episode for next week. There's supposedly a really cool place in the Great Salt Lake that has all these random things in the water, so I need to check it out. I also need to explore the African Market and the Indoor Swap Meet. 

Does anybody really care if I base most of the shows in Salt Lake City? I don't usually mention exactly where things take place, but when I do I like to say they are going on here. I guess if I lived in New York I'd probably set the stories there mostly. 

I've realized too that most of the downloads are from people I don't know. I'd like to get a feel for what everyone thinks about the show, so if you want to give me feedback, please do. 

New Ghost Cake episode: The Unbodied Debut

Here's another episode I've put my heart and soul into (or, if I believed in souls it would be in there). For this episode I wrote and directed a radio play. A horror radio play. I was inspired by those old radio programs from the thirties and forties that would come out with scary stories every week, or sometimes every day. They would have a diverse array of stories. Sometimes they would be predictable but sometimes they would be so entirely weird and offbeat that it made up for the conventional ones. I think horror and science fiction was (and still is) an arena to develop offbeat ideas. It can often be a mirror, reflecting societal values in a different light.

I don't really deal with any flawed societal mores but I did have a great deal of fun making this show. I had to come up with actors and make sound effects. It was difficult to put together but I enjoyed it. I might do at least one show like this every month. I was also considering having a section of the show be devoted to bizarre and unique locations in Utah. I think most of the people who listen to the show are from Utah, but maybe others would be interested in that sort of thing.

Yeah, go take a listen to the show on iTunes by searching for ghost cake. If you don't have iTunes you can get it direct from this site: lordshipslimbs.podomatic.com.

Let me know what you think about it.

I Might Be Stealing Someone's Idea

I'm trying to come up with a title for a section of my show where I feature a horrorific story of my creation. I thought of The Undesirables but when I put that into a search engine I got the following videos. They don't appear to be related in any way except that maybe the dorky man's misogyny caused the second woman to feel bad. 










The first movie is simply hilarious. I love that this guy has such an inferiority complex that he has to come up with some conspiracy why he can't get a date. And here's something to think about: if the Illuminati is really going to kill all of the obese people, wouldn't that mean they'd have to kill at least half the U.S. population? I'm going to be watching my weight. This sorry fellow has about 370 videos, most of which detail his frustrations with women. In the background you can see a twin bed in what appears to be a basement. It's hard to get the hot chicks to come home with you if you have to drag them down to your mom's basement.

I don't think the second movie is particularly funny, but I do like the host. She's pretty mystical. Beautiful women feeling bad about their bodies is pretty fucked up (any woman feeling bad is fucked up too, women are special people).

In any event, I've decided against The Undesirables for now. Maybe The Unpleasants or The Horrifics? I'm going to have to sleep on it. 

Also, I've moved my show to Podomatic so that I may be able to release it on iTunes. And guess what, it's there! If you open iTunes and type in ghost cake it should appear. I have a new episode on there with one more in the works.
