The Fireside Assassins

A world-renowned librarian is forced to team up with a private book collector who is also his ex-college roommate and nemesis — this is merely the beginning for the latest adventure in Dodge Intrepid and the Pages of Time, the ongoing old-time-radio adventure serial and podcast that I write alongside fellow Cellar Dweller, James Catullo. Our latest performance, Fireside Assassins debuts next Saturday, February 16th at Cafe Kolache.

Dodge Intrepid, the heroic librarian and time-traveler who operates out of the Aliquippa National Library, has no choice but to work alongside his wretched French foil Buick LeSabre in order to decipher a mystical tome for the military. The stakes are clear: if they can figure out how to fully operate this "tome of fire," then the military could use it to end the Second World War. That is, if they can ever get anything done. As they toil away in a secret underground complex deep beneath Washington D.C., Dodge's intern Pluck Gumption is working hard to distract two nosey reporters (named Ted and Tug) and see the sights of the Capital. Along the way, however, Pluck stumbles upon a massive assassination plot set to take place in the city!

Our latest adventure continues season four of the show, which has had such previous sets of episodes as "The Freedom Readers," "The Hunt for the Tome of Fire", and "Duel with Death." Arguably our pulpiest season yet, this latest set of four episodes is designed to be a great introductory set for people unfamiliar with the show. The character set is limited, the premise is relatively simple, and the excitement and humor are some of the best yet. After our live performance next weekend, I'll begin releasing the studio recordings of the show on the iTunes Music Store and other services that feature our podcast feed.

The show starts at 7:00pm on Saturday, February 16th at Cafe Kolache. For more information about the show, check out the Dodge Intrepid blog or the Facebook page.
