  3. Over The Hill In Clackerville Trailer

    Show notes

    While you're waiting for the next episode of LITERARIUM, check out this award-winning raunchy animated series! It's uh, it ain't for the faint of heart...

    On the verge of his IT Shop closing, a computer whizz but business loser meets an accountant turned porn star granny; but when the potential romance with her also means embracing the craziness of Clackerville, he is forced to “grow a pair” and become a man or risk losing everything he loves.

    If “South Park” had a sexual encounter with “Big Mouth,” the love child would be “Over The Hill In Clackerville.” It’s an adult animated comedy series featuring a group of middle-aged oddities living their lives in the crazy town of Clackerville.

    Earl of Earl’s Computers is up shit creek without a paddle as his IT store is on the brink of bankruptcy. It’s a hopeless situation until he meets Mother Goose (a 65-year-old accountant turned porn star) who he instantly falls for. However, forming a love bond with the star of “The Goose & The Pink Sock IV” will require a big change for this mild-mannered computer technician.

    Meanwhile, tensions run high between Lilly and Charlie. Their marriage is in the crapper and despite his best efforts, Charlie can’t seem to flush 60-year-old Lilly’s dreams of being a pop-singing sensation. And with a non-existent sex life, Charlie finds a release for his sexual tension through the ass in his backyard - literally.

    “Over The Hill In Clackerville” is a story about those who are a bit long in the tooth, finding love and following their dreams. Even if it means getting fucked along the way.

    Oh, and there’s also talking genitals named Vincent and Alfred - they sell real estate...

  6. Partial Veil Trailer

    Show notes

    While you're waiting for the next episode of Literarium, check out this phenomenal show by the audio drama queen herself, Allison Cossitt!

    In 1965, a young girl disappeared in Partial Veil Forest. Three days later she walked out of the woods with no memory of what happened or where she had been. Thirty-three years later her best friend goes missing without a trace, and Josie Ward must finally confront the truth of her disappearance and conquer her fear of the woods before the whole town of Baron, North Dakota descends into madness.

    Partial Veil is a story about the relationship between humanity and nature, and the eternal ties that bind them together. Both have the capacity to nurture and inspire, while also being capable of tremendous brutality and cruelty. Existence itself depends on the perennial cycle of birth and death; creation and destruction. True understanding of our universe has evaded scientists and philosophers throughout the ages, mostly because they weren’t looking in the right place. The answer is quite obvious, really…

    If only they knew what was growing in Partial Veil Forest.

  16. The Madness of Chartrulean Vol. 2 Trailer

    Show notes

    The king of all audio dramas is back!

    The Jhardeho Order named him messiah and taught him progress is corruption. He defected. Then House Starbringer handed him the power to end a centuries-long war. When Chartrulean chose progress, he split the world in two.

    Now he fears he was wrong and is haunted by the manifestation of his choices. His troubled past surfaces as fear, anger, and doubt, threatening the fragile relationships he's built. Chartrulean must choose between the future he saw and the one he rejected — and reconcile with the gods and kings he angered — before succumbing to the madness he created.

    The Madness of Chartrulean is a character-driven sci-fi epic for fans of Dune, Foundation, and Game of Thrones. Blending political drama, Shakespearean tragedy, and mythic futurism, it explores the moral ambiguities of power. Vol. 1 is out now, with over 8 hours of content across 13 full-length episodes and bonus material. Listen anywhere you find podcasts, or dive deeper into the world with the story compendium.
