With their Mel Brooksian senses of humor and zany wit, Brandon and Walker show you where characters have ended up with brand new stories, while also poking fun at the original movies that they love so much.

Alternately funny and dark, How to Succeed in Evil: The Novel, is the story of Edwin Windsor, Evil Efficiency Consultant. A biting satire of both modern business and the conventions of the superhero genre. This is new content, distinct from the original podcast episodes that have been up on podiobooks since 2006. While the novel is contained within the original podcast story arc, there’s a lot more depth. Many new characters, much subplottery and (to use a technical term) it’s funny as balls. Among other things we get to know Dr. Loeb a lot better. If you love one, you’ll love the other. But to put it in some kind of perspective, the original podcast episodes might be best thought of as really good notes, character sketches, etc. But maybe that’s downplaying them a bit as they were good enough to win a Parsec award? Also the Original Podcast Episodes have a lot of rich sound design in them. How to Succeed in Evil: The Novel is more of a traditional audiobook.

From the team that brought you the satirical TV news show China Uncensored comes a…well…less scripted look at China. Chris Chappell and his team are off the teleprompter and on the mic to interview China experts, or discuss the issues of the day. And frankly, anything else they feel like discussing.
Jon and Scott discuss any topic that comes to mind and attempt to point out stupidity in America and around the globe. Being almost not stupid themselves, they are highly qualified to provide commentary on topics that range from evolution to boobs to goat’s ass to the commander and chief of stupidity, George Dubya Bush.

Recently re-mastered with all around better quality sound and production!! Originally aired as a segment for Michael and Evo’s Wingin’ It! podcast, A Different Point of View is a series of essays about the Star Wars Universe as seen through the eyes of lowly sandtrooper, TD-0013. It takes everything you thought you knew about the Star Wars saga and flips it around to expose the ugly underbelly of the Rebellion, The Jedi, and everything else. A Different Point of View has rapidly become one of the most popular segments on Wingin’ It!, and if you’ve missed any, now is your chance to catch up on them and find out why TD-0013 is everyone’s favorite Stormtrooper. You also might just end up being one of the many who’ve discovered that the Empire were the “good guys” all along. For the past six films in the saga, you’ve heard the Rebels’ side of the story, now it’s time for A Different Point of View. Warning: These segments are rated PG-13 for the use of “Soldier Language” and dealing with some subjects a bit too much for younger fans of the saga.

Originally published in monthly installments between 1855 and 1857, the novel focuses on the various forms of imprisonment, both physical and psychological, while also concentrating on dysfunctional family ties. Accordingly, Dickens avidly criticizes the social deficiencies of the time including injustice, social hypocrisy, the austerity of the Marshalsea debtors’ prison, and bureaucratic inefficiency. The novel kicks off with the introduction of William Dorrit, the oldest prisoner in the Marshalsea prison, who is also referred to as The Father of the Marshalsea. His imprisonment is owed to poor business decisions, which have secured him a place in the debtors’ prison in London. Here he shares accommodation with his wife and children Fanny and Tip, and later the Dorrits welcome their second daughter Amy, who is born inside the prison and is incidentally the Dorrit of the title. The eponymous Little Dorrit grows to become a meek and benevolent young woman who despite her poor financial state, unselfishly takes care of her whole family without the slightest complaint. At the same time the novel welcomes Arthur Clennam, a somewhat idle man in his forties, who has just returned to London following his father’s death after years abroad on family business. Returning to see his mother, a cold and bitter woman, Arthur intends to discuss some details concerning their family business. Troubled by his family’s past, Arthur is determined to uncover the truth behind their fortune. Later, he becomes acquainted with Amy Dorrit, and a special friendship develops between the two, as Arthur sees it as his duty to take the young woman under his protection and unravel the mysterious past surrounding both their families. Consequently, the novel observes the mysterious intertwinement between the two families, as their carefully kept secrets slowly come to light. Nevertheless, Little Dorrit offers a colorful set of characters, a gripping central plot, and several subplots which essentially bring about the notion of redemption. Moreover, it serves as a vivid example to support the idea that anyone is able to reverse their fortune and bring down the invisible walls that seem to confine one to their self-condemned imprisonment. A classic tale depicting Victorian England with its bleak shortcomings and enduring hope, Little Dorrit enthralls with its convoluted relationships, twists and a plethora of characters and subplots, which essentially makes the lengthy novel a pleasure to devour.

Valley Tales is a curation of real-life stories, ranging from mild to wild, brought to you by someone you’ve never heard of! Micah Garcia, a lifelong artist and musician, has been performing onstage since the age of four. His professional career has been rooted in multiple creative outlets, including, playing in punk rock bands, working all angles of the restaurant industry, and painting murals and other commissioned art pieces. These roads would inevitably lead him on a colorful journey with close encounters of the psychedelic kind. Join him, and other interesting characters he’s met along the way, as he recounts his experiences growing up in Southern California (not quite a Gen X’er, but not really a Millennial), with his own brand of eccentric, and often satirical, suburban lore about the ups, the downs, and the one night stands. Stay casual!

For his second Podiobook, Bill Schmalfeldt goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. His follow-up to the non-fiction “No Doorway Wide Enough” is this fanciful, hilarious narrative, voiced by disgraced, former alcoholic truck driver Billy Big Rig (who can never reveal his real name because everyone wants to kill him) who — if he is to be believed — infiltrated a terror cell, went to Afghanistan, and single-handedly saved America from another terror attack in the days after 9/11. Along the way, he shares his philosophy about life, love, truckstop meals and waitresses, men’s room protocol, how he killed the REAL Saddam Hussein, and his many, many marriages. This will probably be the most politically-incorrect book you will read or hear all year. Definitely not for the kiddies, mostly for language, violence, and brief nudity. If you download this book and are offended, it’s YOUR fault, not the author’s! You’ve been warned. But if you like a bawdy, action-packed story, told by a character who is one part Stephen Colbert, one part Archie Bunker, one part Forrest Gump, one part John Wayne and 100 percent AMERICAN MAN, then you’ll LOVE “Undercover Trucker: How I Saved America by Truckin’ Towels for the Taliban.” In a manly way, I mean. Billy doesn’t swing that way. That sh*t just ain’t right! WARNING TO THE SATIRE IMPAIRED: You will need ALL your satire glands in order to enjoy this.

We’ve all been taught to venerate the dead. Where’s the fun in that?! No one can take all their rotten secrets to the grave. Humans are just trash monsters that make mistakes, rub together and make more humans. So, let’s grab some beers, bury inhibitions and dig up some dirt on history’s most iconic departed.
