This week, our show got eaten by the Weather Gods, or some such.

So after our initial broadcast we went back and re-recorded everything, with different microphones (you’ll notice it sounds different).

Episode The Sixth

Alex is still working on her dino-mentary from last week, so expect that soon.

In this episode:

Lots of excellent music!

An awesome sketch from the Ghost Of Pulp Heroes Past

However, we feel that it was a quality show.

Yours very humbly,

Dear Listeners,

I have some bad news. Today we did a two-hour long special edition episode of Newsworthy Ghost Island, featuring excellent music and hilarious shorts.

Wait, that’s not bad news at all! I guess I was confused.

Get it here:

Episode the Fourth.

Episode The Third

Here’s this week’s show. I’m really proud of how it turned out; the original broadcast was nearly flawless from a technical standpoint, and I’m especially fond of Minions, the 19-minute story that was given us by the Ghost of Clive Vanderhaus, the famous English radiojournalist.

Also, his name is a google bomb. Er. No, that’s not the word. What’s the term you use when a quoted phrase, searched for in Google, yields zero results? as in, it appears nowhere on the internet? (except now it will appear here on NGI! Bwaha!) I know there’s a word for that exact term: “thing-that-there-is-only-one-of-now-that-you’ve-written-it”.

Anyway, if you think of it, leave a comment. Or write us a letter! Thank you, those of you that have already written in. We love to hear from you! If you request songs, we may play them. It depends.

Tell us what you think of the show today; we worked hard on it.

Episode Two!

Episode The Second!

Episode two is up on the feed! We had some fine, fine adventures this week, and David, Alex, and I are more than pleased to share ‘ em with you.

Now, as long as we’re trapped on this island, we might as well make the best of it, and make the best of the show! If you’ve got any questions or comments, or if you’d just like to drop a line and say hello, email us at Newsworthyghost@gmail.com.

Send us your question or whatever, a vague notion of where you’re from, and how to pronounce your name. It’ll be sort of like Prairie Home Companion, except we may edit the content of your question slightly to protect the innocent, and we may make fun of you.

You’re probably wondering why we have an email address – and, if we do, why can’t we just use it to get off the island?

Well, if I told you that, you wouldn’t want to listen to the episode. And then I’d cry.

Anyway, you all stay warm out there. Though it’s balmy as Burt’s Bees out here (wherever we are), I’ll wager that it’s probably pretty cold wherever our American listeners are. Namely, our families.
