A Duel on Podcast

Last Monday I released the final new episode of Dodge Intrepid and the Pages of Time: Duel with Death. This series of four episodes was first performed live last October at Cafe Kolache, and studio-recorded podcasts have been released weekly since then.

Duel with Death was essentially a set of Halloween-themed episodes, pitting the heroic librarian against ghosts, stalkers, and other Scooby-Doo-esque scenarios. When writing the show, James and I did a good deal of online research about Beaver County legends and myths. Our fair county has had a lot of ghostly encounters, mainly stemming from fear of the Native Americans that dwelled here before us. But the bulk of the story revolves around the historical Vicary Mansion. This pre-Civil War home is said to be filled with ghosts, secret rooms, and a hidden passage that leads into the Ohio River. It was the perfect set up for our adventure.

The show also features the American villain Aaron Burr, who apparently spent some time in the county back in the day. Our heroes spend time trying to solve two mysteries, the location of a precious book and answers to the strange discovery they made buried beneath Aliquippa. And it just so happens that Mr. Burr has something to do with both items.

All four of the podcasts can be downloaded below, or from our podcast feed. The show went over extremely well last October, and we'll be podcasting the live recordings of the performance shortly (alongside our now-traditional Christmas episode).
