Episode 56- Main Ingredient "Ears to the Ground," What Boils My Pot?
Monday Jan 15, 2018
Monday Jan 15, 2018
January midmonth brings us a new story by Word Chef Hugh O'Donnell. True to his form, it's a Main Ingredient story based on a Stoke the Fire prompt. In this case, Prompt #13- Where did the corn go?
Yes, it's a Freelance Hunters story!
When a town goes missing--the whole town--only Glory, Bingo, and Joachim seem interested in investigating and claiming the reward for finding it.
We follow it up with a What Boils My Pot? segment in which Erin extols the folly of infodumping unnecessary details. A. F.'s brain actually works on this one.
We're also introducing TWO new segments this spring! Short Order Cook and Pot Roast!
Short Order Cook- email themeltingpotcast@gmail.com (Subject Line: Short Order Cook: NAME, where NAME is the host you wish to challenge) and include a 1-2 sentence story idea. That host will have 5 minutes on a future episode to plan and tell a story based on your idea!
Pot Roast- Like a Friar's Club roast, but regarding writers, podcasters, and other storytellers. Tweet, Facebook, or email the crew with suggestions and/or roast fodder when asked!

Episode 55- Main Ingredient "World's End," A Little Seasoning, Mystery Meal
Monday Jan 01, 2018
Monday Jan 01, 2018
Happy New Year, Lexiconnoisseurs and Word Chefs! 2018 is promising some new segments from us (to be announced later this year) and of course, all kinds of new content.
But enough about the future. Let’s focus on NOW!
We have a Main Ingredient story by dear Word Chef James Silverstein.
“World’s End”
A mourning, small-town sheriff gets a visit from an FBI agent tracking down a local necromancer. Of course, it’s someone he knows. Someone close.
We follow that up with A Little Seasoning with Django Wexler (best name ever) author of The Shadow Campaigns and The Forbidden Library. WARNING: We touch lightly on spoilers for The Shadow Campaigns, but it is broad. Highly recommend those books, though.
Finally, we have a delightful Mystery Meal, tearing up a scene from Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Cameo by the littlest Junior Chef.
Prompt #13 is now CLOSED. Introducing Prompt #15!
There is an expiration date for your birth certificate. It's only a few days away.

We start this meal with a Main Ingredient story based on like... 4 prompts.
A Most Peculiar Bizarre Day Ever by Jason Goodman
Some weird rain has brought a bunch of crazy people into the hospital, and Jay is just plain out having a rough day.
We chase that with a Processed Foods segment including a mangled version of Valerie's letter from the movie V for Vendetta. You want to listen to this one, folks. Erin had a tough time keeping it together.
Reminder that Prompt #17 closes at the end of the year!
Also, we are in dire need of YOUR participation! As always, we need Stoke the Fire and Main Ingredient submissions, but we can also use suggestions for Short Order Cook segments, authors to interview for A Little Seasoning, and pretty much any other suggestions you can toss our way. Check our About Page to see what kinds of things we offer and get ideas to help! And also our Submissions Page!
Don’t forget to check out our Patreon, our Swag Shop, and to leave us a review on iTunes!
