Our October episode brings some great material. First of all, we've got the entire crew hosting, so you know it's already a disaster.
First, we have a pair of Stoke the Fire stories (and one poem!) based on prompt #5- Something in the bathroom is your character's spiritual leader or confidante.
"Origami Sin" by Martin Spernau
"Drip Drip Drip" by A. F. Grappin
"Bathtime: An Invocation" by Austin Malone
We've got our first poem, so thanks for the submission, Austin!
Our Food Critic segment has A. F. talking about EVOLUTION: ANGEL by S.A. Huchton. It gets a full 5 of 5 spoons!
A Little Seasoning brings an interview with voice actress Veronica Giguere! Check out her website here and her Twitter @vforvoice. We highly recommend listening to her work!
Prompt #5 is now closed. We're opening Prompt #7- Write a story featuring a member of the crew as a main character.
Keep your eyes on our Facebook page and our Twitter feed (@meltingpotcast) for details on a new segment in development! We'll need YOUR help to make it happen!

It's September, and you know what that means!
Good, because we don't.
Anyway, it's our first true variety episode. We've got a few things for you!

And finally, we're introducing the Food Critic segment. If words are food for the soul, well you need to know where to eat, right? Erin and A.F. discuss THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY, the first book in John G. Walker's STATFORD CHRONICLES series. Both hosts give it a rating of 3.5 of 5 spoons!

It's happened! Another mid-month episode! This is a panel from Balticon 49, entitled Dynamic Voice Acting.
Listen to six amazing voice artists put their talents to scenes first one way, then another, and hear the differences in character, tone, and other things. Laughs and fun, but definitely not for children. Enjoy!

health.
After a
night of heavy drinking, Glory and Bingo realize that they accidentally
drank her emotion-potions. And worse, their roommate Joachim is
missing. What is the regret potion doing to him?
You can find more Freelance Hunters stories here.
We're
also introducing a new segment: A Little Seasoning. These are short
interviews with established authors, talking about craft and their
works. Our first interview is with Paul E. Cooley. Check out THE BLACK
ARRIVAL, just released in May, or his other works here.
Finally,
we have received a webcomic submission from Patrick Toner, also of The
Way of the Buffalo podcast. This wasin response to Prompt #6- Why is

Coyote lost at cards, and now an old fortune teller is making him pay off the debt by changing history. But when his target isn't alone, things go awry. How is Coyote going to deal with this new development, and worse, will this change pay off his debt?

BOBBY AND SPINEL by Scott Roche
The
little pink dragon has shown up in Bobby Stewart's backyard a few
times, and Bobby has finally decided it's time to try and catch it. But
the interaction turns out to be far more life-changing than he could
have expected.
