Cat & Cthulhu – Episode 40 "Cat"
For this special 40th episode (plus it’s a year since I started first podcasting C&C – “Happy 1st ‘cast Day”?) I have decided to change format for this episode and perhaps the next few episodes too, depending on how how popular or successful a change it is. If you have any feedback regarding the podcast feel free to get in contact via the many ways listed at the end of the notes.
1. Intro Music

Cat & Cthulhu – Episode 39 "Homeward"
So what happens in this episode?
Cthulhu is feeling homesick and isn’t sure of whether to go – because when he gets back Cat may no longer be around.
Author’s Comment
“Actually written on the plane home from Switzerland. As was the previous issue. The one before that was written in the airport departure lounge.

Producer’s Comment
It’s been over a month since the last proper episode went out but in the meantime there’s been a special episode and also a parody-promo (incidentally the background track to that was Samba Pa Ti by Carlos Santana, which is a great track in my opinion). One of the reasons for the gap in between episodes was the fact we moved house recently from one side of Sheffield to the other and my personal pc is still not set up in it’s own room and that I don’t have much quiet time in order to produce these.
Work is still progressing on Episode 40(!). I’ve got plans for backing/intro music (sourced from old music coursework – I’m just waiting for a friend to convert it from audio cassette to digital for me) plus field sound recordings of traffic, etc. I’m still working on whether or not we’ll have a guest reader for the story itself.
You’ll notice there is a new standard artwork for this episode (embedded into the mp3) – please be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

Cat & Cthulhu – A Very Special Cat And Cthulhu
So what happens in this episode?
Cthulhu has fun involving Shoggoths and toilets and the author makes his views concerning the result of the 2008 London mayoral election clear.
Producer’s Comment
This is the first episode since the author stopped writing new stories regularly – but I wouldn’t discount the possibility of him doing any more. I have a new headset with which to record episodes – you’ll notice the lack of clicking on the recording. This should hopefully tide me over until I can afford a proper microphone but will do for now. I shall endeavour to release episode #39 this week as well as work on the 40th Episode Special on which I’m hoping to include some sound recordings and possibly some music.
