Rish Performs "Whatever Comes After Calcutta" On Pseudopod

Rish here.  It's been a long time (. . . gettin' from there to here), but I was recently asked to do another story for Pseudopod, the Horror podcast.  I may bellyache about the editing, but I really enjoy narrating and voice acting, and the Escape Artists shows are a much higher-profile gig than any of my own podcasts.

This week's story is "Whatever Comes After Calcutta" by David Eric Nelson.  It's about a lawyer who goes home and finds his wife in bed with another man, gets shot, goes after the couple, and stumbles upon what looks like a public lynching in a small Ohio town.*  The townsfolk seem to have found themselves a witch.

The story is really dark, but there's something so delightfully absurd about it that I'd have probably pestered Big about running it on our own podcast if it had come our way.  It's considerably longer than the stories I usually do for Pseudopod.  Heck, it'd be long even for the Dunesteef.

But it's available now, over at THIS LINK, and if you like my work, it's what they call in show circles as a tour de force of Rish Benjamin Outfield's storytellin' abilities.  If you don't like my part-and-parcel way of narrating, though, I warn you . . . get out!  Get out now!  The 'casts are coming from inside the house!

*Although, I looked it up, and Calcutta, Ohio is four times bigger than the town I grew up in, so it's all relative.
