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

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.
Art Submissions
If you enjoy listening to the podcasts or reading the stories and are of an artistic persuasion then I invite you to submit images, created through any medium, that have been inspired by Cat and Cthulhu, whether it be Cat at the Mountains of Madness, Cthulhu dressed as a Pirate of Neo Tokyo or Marvin alone with Maria/Brigitte after their respective universes collapsed.
Submitted images may be featured as cover art on the podcast file themselves or posted on the blog. As such you agree by submitting the images that they be released under the same license type of licence as the podcast itself i.e. the Creative Commons Non-Commercial Share and Attribute License.

Cat & Cthulhu – Episode 38 "The N'th Emergency Service"
So what happens in this episode?
Cthulhu is out of coffee so Cat suggests that he contact Coffee Fairy Plc.
Producer Comment
The title is of course a parody of the AA’s old, not to mention false, tagline. Also, I don’t think Nestle would like the comment made about their coffee in this episode
