Cat & Cthulhu – Episodes 52 to 54
Show Notes
1. Introduction
Apologies for the lack of shows recently – I have been inundated with work, getting married in the US, the subsequent honeymoon and catching up on everything else. Plus the new World of Warcraft expansion. Which is shiny. However here is a triple bill of episodes to hopefully make up – I’m going to try to endeavour to put out an episode a week in the run up to Christ-/Mithras-/Yith-mas.
In recent news:
* I contributed a reading of “Hallowe’en in a Suburb” by H.P. Lovecraft to “The Nightsound Show” (http://www.nightsound.com)
* Inspired by The Bugcast I now have a drop.io page over at http://drop.io/catandcthulhu where you can share things such as related articles, record promos and leave voicemail with the podcast and other subscribers.
2. Featured Story: “The Game of Kings”
I advise against trying to cheat Cthulhu at any game.
3. Featured Story: “Tummy Rubs for Cthulhu”
Cthulhu is not feeling the love. Unlike the dolphins. Based on this story at the BBC new website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/7003148.stm
4. Featured Story: “Digestion”
Ctuhlhu has devoured one too many souls.

Cat & Cthulhu – Episodes 50 "What are we?"
Show Notes
Episode 50! My goodness… it doesn’t seem that long ago that I first started doing this show, speaking into the microphone of a logitech webcam. Listening to those early shows now makes me cringe a little but at the time, and indeed now, I’m very proud to have produced something that has lasted this long and that people listen and contribute to. On that note, for this special episode we have FNH as our guest reader. Thanks FNH!

Cat & Cthulhu – Episodes 45 to 49
An extra special edition today: 5 stories in one episode. That means there’s only 13 more episodes to go until the end of this current series/continuity. I seem to have finally found the best noise filter settings with this episode. Next week’s release will feature FNH as our first guest reader in 25+ episodes. Until then I hope you enjoy this bumper edition.

Cat & Cthulhu – Episode 43 "Can you quit Evil?"
Show Notes
Hello and welcome to the 43rd episode of the Cat and Cthulhu podcast.
Today’s episode is a little shorter, as their is no feedback to feature* and as you have heard the promo section has been moved for today to the beginning of the show. Today’s promo is for Yog-Radio and stars an interesting manipulation of Tom Baker’s voice.
I do have some interesting news however. Some time ago I offered my services to FNH, creator of the Cthulhu Podcast and lo my offer was accepted. In the latest episode of the Cthulhu Podcast I star in a modest role as the guide in a production of H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Beast In The Cave”. I highly recommend you go check it out at cthulhupodcast.co.uk.
And now to today’s featured story: “Can you quit Evil?”
Well I’m afraid that’s it for today. don’t forget you can review the podcast over at podcastpickle.com, comment on the website, leave a message on the thread at yog-sothoth.com in the yog radio/podcasting forum or leave a skype voicemail for me by calling catandcthulhu. And of course by emailing me at archimedesuk at gmail dot com. Until next time.
*There actually was some feedback but I completely missed it until I came to update – that will teach me to enable comment notification, which I have now done. Rest assured that it will be included in the next episode later this week.
Cat & Cthulhu – Episode 42 "Conspiracy from the Heavens"
Show Notes
- Intro Music and Intro
Hello and welcome to the 42nd instalment of the Cat and Cthulhu Podcast. We haven’t received any feedback since our last show so it’s straight to this episode’s featured story. - Featured Story: “Conspiracy from the Heavens”
The latest meteor shower is being featured heavily in the news and Cat is convinced it is all part of a wider conspiracy by a third party at present unknown. Cthulhu however thinks Cat is just crazy.I enjoyed making this episode and trying to emphasise the madness in Cat. I even found myself gesturing at the screen as I acted out the dialogue, as well as looking knowingly at my John Wyndam anthology, which includes ‘The Day of the Triffids’, that was on one of my bookshelves nearby.
Readers of Cat and Cthulhu should note that Will (the author) has effectively “pressed the reset button” and has started to write new Cat and Cthulhu stories but in a new continuity. You can still access the previous stories and I shall be continuing to produce audio podcasts of them.
- Promos
A promo for Yog Radio and Yog-Sothoth.com followed by a promo for Cat and Cthulhu. - End Show
Congratualations to Yog Radio on their 30th Episode. Remember you can leave feedback by emailing me, commenting either on the website or on the forum thread at Yog-Sothoth.com or by leaving a skype voicemail by calling catandcthulhu.
