Faust, Kafka, and Stuart Little Walk Into A Bar! by Faust in Wonderland

In this episode of Faust in Wonderland, "Faust, Kafka, and Stuart Little Walk Into A Bar!" we take both a darker and lighter look at mental health. In "Greg's Changed" written by Fauster Joan Lopate, we revisit Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” where a family is thrown into crisis because, seemingly overnight, a member has become unrecognizable, alien to those who were once close to him. Gregor Samsa’s transformation is so bizarre that his family callously rejects and ultimately abandons him. In the Fausters' update to this story, the parallels between Kafka’s 19th century Czech family and a modern American one suggests that family dysfunction is not unique to place and time. With "Emotional Baggage" written by Faust member Celia Bressack, we meet Gabby and Phil, two lovelorn NYC daters who've had their hearts kicked around. They meet for coffee, and while sharing and comparing their neuroses, both are haunted by the voices of their exes. Will they learn to tune them out and find true love? Dial in to "Faust, Kafka, and Stuart Little Walk Into A Bar!" and see!

Face of Many Beasts By ThornCreek Films

"Face of Many Beasts" is an episode of the anthology audio horror series "Thorn Creek." It tells the story of Elizabeth, a young girl living in a puritanical village. At the age of 10, she witnesses a goat give birth to an offspring with three heads. Fearing it is an omen, her mother and father discard the creature in a river and swear her to secrecy. Years later, now 18, Elizabeth is betrothed to Jeremiah, a 40-year old polygamist landowner as part of a deal struck with her mother and father. She confides in her best friend, Sarah, that she would much rather flee the village than go through with the next day's wedding. Sarah jokingly suggests that she fake demonic possession in order to get out of it. Elizabeth wanders into the woods where she comes upon a now fully grown three-headed goat. She gets lost following the creature until Sarah finds her and takes her back home. The next day, the village gathers in the church for the wedding. Sarah accuses Elizabeth of being a witch, having seen her summon a three-headed creature in the woods. When Elizabeth claims it was just a goat born in the family barn years ago, her parents deny the story. Suddenly, Jeremiah collapses. The priest and various townspeople are absorbed into him through touch and the growing chunk of flesh and bone morphs into a hideous beast. Elizabeth runs home and hides in the barn, where the morphed beast finds her. She shoots the monster with her father's rifle. Elizabeth flees into the woods, and once again, finds the three-headed goat, whom she realizes is just a peaceful creature. She decides to follow the river, leaving the village behind into an uncertain future.

Dungeons & Damsels - Laallafee's City Adventure by Unchained Productions

In a medieval fantasy tale, a group of adventurers recount how they met the elf in their party, as she needed humans to help her make contact with a fellow elf living in a human city. Upon all of them arriving at the city gates, the elf discovers the mistrust and suspicion humans have for her just because she is different and strange to them. Further, it turns out that her contact has been kidnapped, and the local Criminal Collective is unwilling to help because she didn’t pay her “protection money”. The group discovers the kidnappers have taken the city elf because they believe she can make an ancient fire wand function, due to their belief she is a “magical elf”. The magic dabbler in the hero’s group arranges for a meeting with the kidnappers under the guise of promising to make the wand work in exchange for the kidnapped hostage. The two groups meet in an abandoned fighting arena, where the fire wand is demonstrated to work to great effect, and is exchanged for the hostage elf. Upon parting, the kidnappers attempt to use the wand on the group, but it fails, and the heroes make their escape. It is later explained by the magic dabbler that the fire wand had a finite number of spells it could call upon, and the demonstration exhausted its supply of magic and the wand became inert, allowing the group to escape with the hostage. Around the fireside, where this story is being told by the elf, she reflects upon her first encounter with humans, some meeting her with suspicion, fear, and hatred, but with this particular group, she found noble virtues in all of them, despite they themselves being outcasts, of a sort, in their own human world.
