The world’s fascination with monsters harks back to the dawn of civilization – and even to prehistoric times – when mankind first sought to explain the magical and capricious forces of nature.

@1:30PM: REMEMBERING KTADHN
We lost a friend on August 18th - one who touched many lives. For those who wanted to, but were not able to attend the community memorial on Saturday, or the remembrance last night at Seanchai, a moment in The Glen to honor Ktadhn Vesuvino.
@7PM: THE LAST CUENTISTA - Concludes
There lived a girl named Petra Peña, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller, like her abuelita.
But Petra’s world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children – among them Petra and her family – have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race.Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet – and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey, bent on erasing the sins of humanity’s past. They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard – or purged them altogether.
Petra alone now carries the stories of our past, and with them, any hope for our future. Can she make them live again?

SUNDAY, August 28th at 1:30pm: TEA TIME with Dame Agatha
EVIL UNDER THE SUN Continues . . .
It seems that no matter how hard he tries, Hercule Poirot never quite gets a holiday. This story sees him in Devon, Agatha Christie’s home county, and, of course, among the scantily clad sunbathers, a murdered woman is found.
It was not unusual to find the beautiful bronzed body of the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun… she had been strangled. Ever since Arlena’s arrival at the resort, Hercule Poirot had detected sexual tension in the seaside air. But could this apparent ‘crime of passion’ have been something more evil and premeditated altogether?
Holidays Can Be Murder!
Enter the world of Christie's 1941 novel at a seaside resort: the Jolly Roger Hotel, inspired by Burgh Island on the Devonshire coast of England. The reading series continues, live on stream. Today: Episode Two "Murder is in the Air"
THURSDAY August 25th at 7pm: Monsters & Myth - THE CALYDONIAN BOAR pt2
"Impending evil, friendships & hope, battles & blossoming love"
THE CALYDONIAN BOAR pt2
The Calydonian Boar - A ferocious wild beast able to trample a warrior to bloody rags beneath its razor hooves. The boar is the handiwork of Artemis, goddess of the moon, who created it using mud from the River of Tears,where the strong wind caries the shrieks of the tormented, and hungry vultures hover like gulls. Artemis's monster ravages the land, carrying out the vain goddess's evil plan to randomly destroy mortal after mortal.
Meanwhile, a small child soon to be Artemis's main rival in strength and beauty is being raised in the hills by a family of bears. The wild child,Atalanta, grows into a mighty huntress who staunchly defends her animal family at any price. When one of her brothers is killed Meleager, heir to the throne of Calydon, she becomes immersed in a complicated struggle for love and power that involves not Meleager and herself, but also the king and queen of Calydon,the queen's two idiot brothers, a murderous band of outlaws, and a ferocious Simba hound that becomes Meleager's ally and best friend. But at the center ofit all stands the Calydonian boar, the most dangerous and threatening beast inthe land.
The tale of the Calydonian boar takes place in a world where no one is safe from impending evil. But it is also a world in which friendships grow and hope triumphs, as a huntress and her prince bravely battle against gods and beasts in order to protect their blossoming love.

Always unpredictable and irreverent, no subject is too sacred, no cow too holy for R. not to pull it out, examine it, and bang it on the table a few times before putting it back where he found it - albeit slightly crumpled. Long ago, he swore an oath to write a 100 word story every day until the day he died. He's not dead yet. And no, he never has opinions! http://oneadayuntilthedayidie.com/

MONDAY, August 1st at 7pm: DANDELION WINE Continues
The summer of '28 was a vintage season for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns, and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding—remembered forever by the incomparable Ray Bradbury.
Presented LIVE at the firecircle.
