We finally made it to an episode that shall not be numbered.
Yeah... it's numbered. But never mind which number.
More importantly, it's time for some Stoke the Fire stories! These are from Prompt #17: You have a dinosaur bodyguard. And as an added bonus, they're by the same author, David "Doc Blue" Wendt!
"Sugar and Spikes- a Flint Redstone Story"
"A Brief Excerpt from [REDACTED]"
We trail that with another Mystery Meal made with your help! This one destroys The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.
Also, special thanks to Patreon patron Spence Spencer!

It's midmonth October (already?!) and we're here with another Main Ingredient story! "However Improbable" by James Silverstein.
A lost file containing words written by Dr. John Watson has been found. Is this really what happened to Sherlock Holmes?
We follow it with a Food Critic segment in which A. F. reviews Make Bright the Arrows by S. A. Huchton.
Finally, we destroy English (and a couple other languages in the background) with a Processed Foods segment. This monologue from the movie Dogma went through 6 languages before being returned to flawed English!

We love so much giving new or newish writers an outlet for their words, and this is what we've got today! We bring you Brownsville Creek: A Suburban Legend by Shay Brodbeck.
There's something in Brownsville Creek. Even it doesn't seem to know what it is, but it's figuring it out to the detrement of humans.
We follow up with a Mystery Meal from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. We should be sorry, but we're not.
Prompt #16 is now closed. We bring you now Prompt #18
You are informed via phone that your SO has been in an accident. They are standing right next to you.
Thanks to Nick Deding for the prompt!

It’s been a while since we proclaimed our idiocy. It seems about time to do it again. Grillmistress Erin serves up some Botched Recipes!
As if that weren’t enough, A. F. reappears magically to give a Food Critic segment for The Terra Gambit by Terry Mixon.

Where has August gone? We're up to midmonth already? Well, fine. Here, have a Main Ingredient story! It's based on Stoke the Fire prompt #14- A rash of people have just entered the emergency room--all of them exhibiting superpowers.
ER Invasion by Scott Roche
Something strange and urgent is going on in the ER. Somehow, it's the woman who fixes the copier who takes charge and sets out to protect the innocent.
We come after that with another of our new Processed Foods segment. Theo reads "The Rules" from the movie Fight Club. We translated it through like 8 languages before spitting it back out in English!
We cap off the episode with a Mystery Meal. Erin reads part of one of Lucy's letters to Mina from Dracula by Bram Stoker.

The Melting Potcast is four years old. FOUR! We can't believe it! We're bringing you a full menu to celebrate, starting with a pair of Stoke the Fire stories. They're both based on Prompt #14 A rash of people have just entered the emergency room-- all of them exhibiting superpowers. But one of them also touches on Prompt #15- There is an expiration date for your birth certificate. It's only a few days away.
"Expiry" by Christopher Michael
"The Waiting Doom" by Hugh J. O'Donnell
After that, we have another beautiful piece of literature twisted into a Mystery Meal. We give you the cloning process scene from Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
And finally, we introduce an all-new segment. Happy birthday! This one... is almost as bad as Mystery Meals. In the new Processed Food segment, we take well known monologues from movies and theatre and put them through several layers of Google translate. This time, it was Morpheus's red pill/blue pill speech from The Matrix.

It's July 1, and the kitchen is gearing up for a hot summer. We start with a Main Ingredient story by Potcast friend James Silverstein!
The Journal of the Ivory Throne
Lonnie has gone missing, and friends from his seafaring village are determined to find him. But the trail leads to the Ivory Throne, an island told of in their worst stories.
After that, we treat you to some rather frightening audio from A.F. and Erin's trip to Balticon, including some delirious, late-night word games.
Prompt #15 is now closed. We introduce Prompt #17! You have a dinosaur bodyguard.
