Royal Episode 5: Assassining!

Royal Episode the Nine: Visit the Smithy

Huzzah, listener-heretic! The NINTH and FINAL episode of our medieval miniseries is upon us! The Reigning Lunatic must endure the return of his accountant, and is cajoled into a public-relations-inspired Royal Visit. There is much discussion and even some bonding between our sovereign and the humble Smithy, and a distinct lack of success in magical endeavors. With: Aaron Henkin (Royal Announcer) Grant Markham (Tin) Davian Dent (Smithy) Tina Rogers (Circe) James Hatfield (Balar) Written and produced by Geoffrey Welchman, with help from Executive Comedy Consultant Betty Welchman. Thanks for listening, and thanks to all of our Guest Actors!

Royal Episode the 8: The MOAT

Huzzah, listener-heretic! The EIGHTH episode is upon us! The Reigning Lunatic meets a young scribe and makes light conversation until a CERTAIN SUBJECT is broached, whence the scribe is encouraged to a room in the dungeon. Whereupon the sovereign is encouraged NOT to walk around the moat, and a magical solution to the vexing security problem is accomplished! Finally, the fair Griselda re-appears, and is rewarded for her diligence. With: Aaron Henkin (Royal Announcer) Christina Nicholls (Scribe) Kate Davidson (Griselda) Written and produced by Geoffrey Welchman, with help from Executive Comedy Consultant Betty Welchman. This is a production of Poison Dart Studios, Baltimore.

Royal Episode 7: Obscure Matter

Our ornithological Reigning Lunatic turns his gaze to the heavens! Yes, listener-peasant, the Royal Astronomer is called upon to discuss the feasibility of certain space-weapons. And clearly, technology is at the center of it, as brief visits from Tech Support and a Foole attest. But it is the discovery of "Obscure Matter" that really gets a response, although it wasn't the response the Royal Astronomer hoped for. Thence it is left to the Wizard of the Day to Say the Sooth. With our special guests: Aaron Henkin as the Royal Announcer Kate Davidson as Morgana Marc Hershon as the Royal Astronomer Tina Rogers as Tech Support Courtney Calkins as the Apprentice Foole Monica Hamburg as Baba Yaga With Betty Welchman as Rhonda Written and produced by Geoffrey Welchman, with help from Executive Interior Designer Betty Welchman. This is a production of Poison Dart Studios, Baltimore.

Royal Episode the 6: Pillows!

The Reigning Lunatic demands an explanation of the original title, which was to be "The Case of the Exploding Pillow," but was changed to "Pillows" due to concerns about undercurrents of regicide. (and because it was too long) The Royal Scriptwriters are forced to explain themselves, and in so doing, weave a dramatic scene with their winsome words. Then comes more news of trouble for the Grand Border Wall! Rebels attack the Eastern Border, leaving the Reigning Lunatic in a slough of despond, which is only lifted after a visit from the Learned Professor prompts a new and brilliant idea! With: * Aaron Henkin (Royal Announcer) * Courtney Calkins (Duke of Phlegmington) * Kate Davidson (Lady Penny) * Mark Miller (General Klang) With Betty Welchman as "Royal Scriptwriter #1" Produced by Geoffrey Welchman, co-written by GW with Jeanne Klingler and Betty Welchman! This is a production of Poison Dart Studios (Baltimore).

Royal Episode 5: Assassining!

There's danger afoot for the Reigning Lunatic when his dreams are darkened by a fatherly warning. After a visit from famed prophet Nostradamus proves unobliging, the Captain of the Guards arrives with frightful news: the Royal Taste Tester is DEAD! Who is behind this fiendish duplicity? Is it Aesthethys, the monarch's brother? Or is it some other culinary culprit? With: * Aaron Henkin as the Royal Announcer * Jud Niven as Nostradamus Written and produced by Geoffrey Welchman, with help from Executive Humor Consultant Betty Welchman. This is a production of Poison Dart Studios, Baltimore.
