Welcome to the Manor! Enjoy some smoking bishop... unless that brings back horrible memories of Catholic school (James still has a twitch) and enjoy the topic we always discuss during the last episode of the year. What is it? Well, you could look back at the previous two years, but it would just be easier to listen to this one. Wassail!
Next week's episode is about Led Zeppelin's third album (part 4 of 5).

Welcome to Yule season at the Manor! Take a seat by the fire and have a mazer of something warming. Today we're discussing "The Glamour of the Snow," a fantastic short story by Algernon Blackwood that is about the lure of the wilderness. We like the snowy wilderness, too.

This week's episode will still be on "The Glamour of the Snow," but we wanted to get this out for Sir David.

Welcome to the Manor! Join us as we discuss if the lads and lasses from Halloween Town and their movie should be watched at Halloween or at Christmas. We're sure the answer will surprise no one.

Welcome to Thanksgiving at the Manor! Pull up a chair and get ready to dig into popcorn, toast, and jelly beans (which is something we'll talk about next year -- foreshadowing, dun dun dun!). I wonder what goes better with that repast, stout or mead? Guess we'll have to find out within the next 365 days.
But we digress (sorry for the tangent). This year we're talking about the Arlo Guthrie song that's played every year on classic rock stations (and formerly on current rock stations when, you know, the songs were current), "Alice's Restaurant." We talk about the song, it's story, and a wee bit of context, so get ready to drink with us!
Next week's episode is about a certain move that could be either for Halloween or for Christmas, so we're putting it out just after Thanksgiving. That's who we are... MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Welcome back to the Manor! Join us as we discuss songs from the '70s, '80s, and '90s that are folk rock (it is Friday the 13th after all, heh heh heh), even though they weren't meant to be. Yes, we'll get into our reasons, even giving some counter-examples! Hooray!
Next week's episode is a Thanksgiving episode on Alice's Restaurant and Charlie Brown/Peanuts.

Welcome to the Manor, where the clocks and mirrors are draped with striped black. A month ago today the world lost one of the greatest guitarists ever to grace its green face, when Eddie Van Halen passed away. Join us as we pay tribute to Eddie and discuss what we loved about him and the band in general. Cheers, Eddie!
Next week's episode is "Unintentional Folk Rock."

By the pricking of our thumbs... we have something to cure that. Alcohol and talking about spooky, creepy carnivals! Along with another "B Author" talk, where we get into Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes," we'll give other film, television, and musical suggestions for dark carnivals.
So join us in the last Halloween episode of 2020! Or is it? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
Next week's episode is a tribute to Eddie Van Halen - we talk Edward and our favorite VH album each.
