About this episode

This episode features Chapter 16 of the rewritten version of 'Of Monsters and Mushrooms', addressing previous plot issues.

Of Monsters and Mushrooms, Ch. 16 (book 1 NEW) ep. 829 A Big Box of Granny's Gold NOTE: This is a rewrite of book 1. Originally, 'Of Monsters and Mushrooms' was supposed to be a multi-part short story that transformed halfway through into a novel. This left the plot (and the voice acting, to be honest) lacking. We decided to go back and completely rewrite book one to fix any plot holes and bring the quality in line with the rest of the series.
