With handcrafted style and humor that positively permeates her lyrics, Sandy's music bridges generations of musical style! From folk to country to reggae and all things in between. Like the artist herself, this album is a true original!

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!

The black sheep of the 16bit console generation of video games was definitely the TurboGrafx-16, but does coming in third mean it wasn't great in it's own right? Heck no! (link in comments)
We run down a list of our nine favorite TURBOTASTIC games (plus a few more in there for good measure) on the system that was called the PC-Engine in Japan. We cover everything from head-banging cave babies to everyone's favorite Jason Voorhees clone.
SHUBIBIN!
