An Audio Podcast of Questionable Distinction

Tycho Brahe & Mrs. Longfellow (1985) — “They’re in love. With each other. And with danger.”Rumble Falls is the kind of sleepy mining town where the neon flickers, the saxophone never sleeps, and somebody is always “accidentally” falling into a shaft. Into this glitter-dusted grit strolls a most 80s power-couple: Tycho Brahe—yes, the 16th-century Danish astronomer with the polished brass nose—reborn by unexplained TV science and forever quoting the heavens, and Mrs. Longfellow—cocktail-wie...

Comedy - Faux-cumentary Podcast episode from Radio that explores the baffling, invisible world of certain radio genres. Through interviews with delusional producers, haunted technicians, and emotionally unstable tap soloists, this satirical audio documentary uncovers the lost legacy of those who danced for the ears… and sometimes against common sense. The Radio Dance Teams is a tribute to the forgotten, the footlighted, and the deeply confused. Written, Edited, and Directed...

Comedy - Final episode! Dr. Zarkov—previously turned into a human popsicle—finally thaws out, only mildly annoyed by the persistent pins and needles in his extremities. He and Dale promptly decide that making a quiet, dignified exit from Azura’s palace is absolutely out of the question. After all, where’s the fun in that? Armed once more with their trusty meat-roasting electrodes (surely the greatest upgrade to any action-packed arsenal), they storm Azura’s throne room and demand she va...

Comedy - Picture Dr. Zarkov and Dale, typically found bickering over cosmic equations or snappy comebacks, suddenly teaming up with an unexpected set of meat-roasting electrodes—an implement that’s half rotisserie, half lethal lightning rod—to stage a palace coup against Queen Azura. Meanwhile, Saul (evidently thinking, “Why should Lord Magician General Saul have all the fun?”) takes a stab at ending Flash once and for all. Once again, our well-meaning hero responds with saintly forgiveness, ...

Comedy - A Cool Way To Win! Lord General Magician General Saul, who makes a gallant attempt at assassinating Flash—only to be met with a cheery “No worries, old chap!” from our misguided hero, who graciously forgives him. With that inconvenience swiftly brushed aside, Flash demonstrates that his sense of friendly fire is alive and well by lobbing an “ice torpedo” at poor Dr. Zarkov, presumably under the impression that a friend covered in frosty weaponry is better than one free o...

Comedy - Flash now leads a valiant—if misguided—charge against the Hawkmen. Fortunately, Dr. Zarkov has whipped up a snazzy ice barrier to keep the bewinged ones reasonably safe from interplanetary faceplants. Naturally, because no plan is too ill-conceived for our heroes, Zarkov and the Hawkmen end up clashing mightily with Flash and Queen Azura, most likely in a flurry of confusion, swirling capes, and the occasional flamboyant war cry. Meanwhile, Zarkov, Dale, and the ever-patient Thune de...

Comedy - Having decided that rescuing Flash from Queen Azura’s mind-bending clutches sounds slightly more appealing than returning overdue library books, Dr. Zarkov rounds up the ever-chirpy Hawkmen for a daring infiltration of Azura’s lair. Saul, Queen Azura's in house magician plots against them all. Meanwhile, thanks to Azura’s mild obsession with enthralled Earthlings, Flash—still woozy from that pesky drugging—finds himself leading the defense against the Hawkmen. It’s all a bit aw...

Comedy - Proving that he can, on occasion, recall where he’s stashed his most ingenious inventions, Dr. Zarkov cobbles together some last-minute scientific marvel that prevents Sky City from plummeting dramatically into the lower atmosphere. The Hawkmen, who had previously thought of Earthlings as barely bipedal amateurs, are suddenly singing Zarkov’s praises in slightly off-key harmonic squawks. Meanwhile, amid the chirpy gratitude and relative lack of impending doom, Prince Baron experience...

Comedy - After somehow escaping Ming’s clutches, Flash and Princess Aura are captured by Prince Baron, who never get around to forming an alliance against Ming. Having returned from an “off-screen” escapade involving the Shark Men—who, it turns out, are deeply unimpressed by Flash’s attempts at small talk—our dashing hero and the ever-resourceful Princess Aura find themselves unceremoniously nabbed by Prince Barin. Meanwhile, Dr. Hans Zarkov, who was presumably rummaging for a misplaced spann...
