Conor here. I'd like to talk about a song that has always bothered me, or rather a song protagonist that has always bothered me. Please listen to me rant for ten minutes about the beloved, oft-covered song Long Black Veil

Returned from vacation to discover this in my mailbox. No matter what happens it'll make a great gift for one of the jackals - mjn
2024-04-24 20:58:12 +0000 UTC View PostIt's like we've always said here at 372 Pages, it's about time someone took a real hard look at Wagon Masters! I don't trust them. Never have. And this Encyclopedia Brown mystery really puts a period on that sentence.
Listen to see if Mike can crack the case and match the 10 year-old.
Mike and Conor almost wanted to recuse themselves from this particular Encyclopedia Brown mystery because they both have stolen a LOT of Confederate stamps. Like, a lot. The Feds, Interpol, many organizations are seeking them out. Still, they came out of hiding to present you with this ep.

Not really a sentence I could've imagined myself typing 24 hours ago, but my parents came through. Will have to get them digitized and see if there's any gold here! I had no memory that BOTH my siblings made their own Paul Harvey recordings.
2024-04-11 19:09:03 +0000 UTC View PostErnest Cline, the founder of our feast here at 372 Pages, is back with another book, Bridge to Bat City. A day after its release, Conor and Mike review the first few chapters, take on some Dumb Sentences, Mike fails at Real or Fanfic and Conor reads some mail.
In other words, despite barely dipping a toe in, it's a jam packed episode.

Saw this yesterday in a Little Free Library in NW DC, near the Woodley Park metro. I believe this is the second time I've spotted a Digital Fortress in one of these, so I can only conclude it's the most Little Free Libraried book in existence. I assume it's been snatched up by now, but make your way to DC if you want to snag a copy. It's right by the zoo so maybe you can go feed it to a jackal.
2024-04-08 15:34:09 +0000 UTC View PostObviously you're all thinking, "Donald Sobel wrote an Encyclopedia Brown Mystery about the 1993 Georgia Satellites song?! Weird. But very intriguing!" Sadly, no. This was written eight years prior to its release. The solution is utter madness.
What, you thought we WEREN'T going to read Ernest Cline's new Young Adult, or Middle Grade, or whatever novel? We're going back to the podcast's roots baby! All we know is the below image but if there's one thing that kids ages 8-12 years old love in the year 2024, it's... The Fabulous Thunderbird's modest 19-classic-86 hit "Tuff Enuff"?
Our plan is to read the first couple chapters the day this comes out, and then record an episode on Wednesday, 4/10. Hope you will join us!

2024-04-02 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostPigs are stolen. Gooses killed, gutted, de-feathered, roasted over spits and eaten by drifters. And, evidently, dogs are wounded. Idaville's an odd place.
Can Mike crack the case?!

2024-03-22 13:38:03 +0000 UTC View PostWe end it. The book, that is. Not the world itself. That's up to the Demon Witches and Monchi. And the humans. And the mages. And Theo. And Jennifer. And Jasmine. And the girls. And the undead Egyptians. And the Nryphons. And the eagles. And the people of Telmar. And the Lords (you know, the ones we hold "the festival" for, even during the very darkest times of war?") And the ever-present pork - look, we're all happy this is over.

*"Guard goose" would also be an accepted term.

2024-03-09 17:15:39 +0000 UTC View PostLook, yes, it's longer than a normal episode. But to answer your question we're less picky about the typos than we have been for the last three episodes!!
There is in the middle of this reading one of the most insane things that has ever happened in any book. Any book we've yet read. Truly.
And for what it's worth Conor tackles Real or Fanfic this time and whether or not he does better than Mike is neither here nor there, why are you asking?
... 2024-03-07 20:02:39 +0000 UTC View PostFor once, once, it's a hitchhiker that's hungry and not a damn hippo! Anyway, Conor throws Donald J. Sobel's mystery at Mike and Mike attempts to hit it out of the park. Does he succeed? You'll have to listen.
Hey, hey! Under three hours, a truly compact episode. But the creatures mentioned continue to get stranger and more macabre: Demons, Gryphons, Nryphons, the Balls (Fire and Sylvia), Clam Woman, Man Mom and Almost Dad.
Plus, listeners continue to absolutely pummel Mike at Real or FanFic. I mean, like a mace-to-his-face pummel, blood everywhere, skull shattered. Happily Zoser was there to make things right.
Also, many, many, many Dumb Sentences featuring a new theme!

Conor here. Mike and I were both out this week but I got back a day early and I need to make sure my Mic still works after travelling across the country and back. So why not rant into it alone!?
Post your questions below and I'll dive into them later today. 372, RiffTrax, advice, the dismal upcoming 2024 Nationals season, etc. I will get to any and all that are not legally incriminating!
2024-02-16 13:56:59 +0000 UTC View PostLook, we can explain - there's just so much to cover! Every single sentence, every exchange, every plot advancement brings whole new galaxies of madness.
Included in the mighty length of this episode are some Dumb Sentences (along with a new theme!) and see if Mike can improve upon his dismal Real or FanFic score.
Many thanks to listener Jonathan for his Dumb Sentence theme (we will probably debut others as well in the coming weeks.) Thanks, Jonathan!

True and utter madness, like nothing we've ever read before on 372 Pages. Seriously. It is not hyperbole; this is deranged, and you must read along, if only to prove we're not going slowly insane.

That aside, this reading is full of hot shoulders, chilled breasts and lots of folksy Uncle Kidd wisdom. Not to mention the solution to the central mystery!
