We're each serving up burgers, chicken, desserts and even a little something something from a no-holds-barred WILD CARD category that could be anything! So grab some napkins and prepare your body for some artery-clogging fun!

Tonight… locked in the pit of despair we call THE BRIG… we have the creators of the long-running storytelling podcast ACHEWILLOW and the first Achewillow novel "A DASH OF DEMON"! Both chronicle the exploits in and around a fictional Canadian/American town, where you can get a darn good cup of coffee, but also… possibly disemboweled by a demon. :o
Writer, J.F. Dubeau and narrator/producer Amy Frost spill the tea on how Achewillow came about, just what the heck COZY HORROR is and why food (baking in particular) is so intrinsic to the show's DNA. Later on, we try something new, as guests and hosts alike take turns dropping some recipes on your butts!
Pre-order your copy of A Dash of Demon from your local bookseller or snag one from our favorite!
